‘SKYRIM’ DRAGONBORN DLC Trailer: Remember this game?
Whassup with Bethesda, man? When Fallout 3 dropped, they unleashed a torrent of solid DLC. Skyrim? Different story. Here is the trailer for the Dragonborn DLC, but with it dropping nearly a year later, how many of you fools are enticed?

The Slumber Party Manifesto
(As Americans brace themselves for another big Election Day, Omega-Level is proud to offer its services to a new political party, designed by Argey Fontes and Andrew Mercier (our very own Eduardo Pluto, sans pseudonym): The Slumber Party. Here is its extensive manifesto. TL;DR: Party on.)
America is faced with a widespread contagion—the Great Yawn. Millions of people across this country have contracted it already and the numbers are rising. During this critical time in the nation’s history, two-party politics has become exceptionally polarizing, when partisans thwart necessary reform and others are too complacent with the status quo. Nothing changes substantially except the ever-growing gap. Proposals from one side are quickly dismantled or disregarded by the other. The only reciprocity that crosses the divide is yawning, brought on by fatigue and tedium. Meanwhile, those whose allegiances are not to these party lines try their best to stay removed, but many cannot for long. Watching from the outskirts, they become disillusioned by the dysfunction, turned off by the whole process, and are then similarly caught by the outbreak.
South Park Does Dr. Seuss
I may be a little late on this one, but I need to raise awareness of some of the great stuff in the newest episode of South Park, “A Scause for Applause,” particularly its excellent satire aimed squarely at our culture of getting behind causes–as long as our displays for approval (be they in the form of t-shirts, bracelets or bumper stickers) take front and center to actually working for the cause itself. It is a clean, sugar-coated way of going about activism today. And what better way to drive this point home than to use a Dr. Seuss-esque swindler to peddle it all in striking color and rhyme. Take a gander after the jump, and give OL traffic a bump.
WEEKEND OPEN BAR: who’s your president?
[WEEKEND OPEN BAR: The one-stop ramble-about-anything weekend post at OL. Comment on the topic at hand. Tell us how drunk you are. Describe a comic you bought. This is your chance to bring the party.]
Presidents suck.
Maybe there’s something in the White House water. Or maybe it’s the fact that it takes an elevated level of egotism and self-righteousness and disregard for human life to serve as Commander-in-Chief. But the fact of the matter is that any individual who’s ever been President of the United States of America has sucked.
JFK. Reagan. Lincoln. Washington. FDR. Hayes. Clinton. Fillmore. Boneheads, the lot of `em!
Tuesday is Election Day, and as such the people of the United States will head to the polls to decide which miscreant is going to have a place in the Oval Office. There’ll be television coverage and petty spats between friends who don’t understand why they’re voting for their respective candidates and it’ll be the abysmal illusion it always is. Don’t resist, just revel.
With that being said, let’s take the time to engage in a much more important discussion. Something that matters to us. A topic that has actually affected our daily lives.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FICTIONAL PRESIDENT?
Guillermo Del Toro developing ‘AVENGERS-STYLE’ flick with second rate DC characters. Awesome.
B-characters have a bad wrap in comic books. A lot of the time they’re quirky as fuck, and the tales that revolve around them are unrestrained from having to answer to fanboy and fangirl expectations. So the fact that Guillermo Del Toro is taking a run at developing a flick around DC’s B-rate characters is awesome.
RUSSIA’S internet-filtering law goes into effect today. HELLO future police state!
I know that probably everyone is peeping in on everyone else’s internet dongs when it comes to the government. I get it. At least there is typically the semblance of privacy. Russia ain’t feeling that though, yo! Their internet-filtering law goes into effect today, and it is pretty much geared for impressively rampant surveillance.
Cosplay: WONDER WOMAN done up all battle worn is the glory.
I happened to walk by Meagan Marie a couple of weeks ago at NYCC, and I am happy to report she is as pleasant and charming in person as she is in these photographs. Here she is all did up as battle worn Wonder Woman, still conveying that amazonian strength and you know, hottiness.
‘NEUROMANCER’ film teaser poster. Please don’t suck.
I don’t want a Neuromancer flick. People are going to confuse it for a Matrix rip-off. It won’t be good. I’m negative. Real negative! Despite what I want, it’s coming. It is coming, and there’s a fucking teaser poster for it. Groan.
CURIOSITY snaps its first self-portrait on Mars. Space swoon!
Now Curiosity is just showing off. It is all on the Red Planet, having fun. Living the Bradbury dream. Now it is sending back total profile pictures of itself to post on the FaceSpace and shit. Not fair.
GEORGE LUCAS giving most of his $4 billion Lucasfilm sale to charity. Solid ++
Aiight, George Lucas. Just this once, I’ll refrain from cussing your soul out. You’ve made a lifetime of money off of shitty adaptations and action figures, but you’re putting that loot to good use. After selling the Lucasfilm property to Mickey Mouse, you’re parlaying that money into education. This is rad.
