You can add just a few mods to Skyrim, or you can do this. At first it's a bit hard to count all the things that don't necessarily fit the setting. And no, you can't open the TARDIS with a Keyblade.

An extremely cool Minnesota teen was startled over the weekend to discover a wolf attempting to eat him alive (starting with his brain), while he was just doing his own thing on a chill, romantic camping trip with his girlfriend.

WeLoveFine works with the best artists. They are continually coming out with fresh designs and even though I have a stupid number of nerd tees, they make me want to add more to my collection. This time around they have a few prints that I’m absolutely in love with. Pizza Dog charmed the pants off comic book readers in Hawkeye #11, and now you can wear his point of view on a t-shirt. WeLoveFine has two tees – the above featuring Clint Barton and another with Kate Bishop.

They’re also continuing the minimalist hero style with a Deadpool tee that is the best Deadpool t-shirt I’ve seen, hands down.

Check out Deadpool, Doctor Who, and more cool new designs after the break.

To be fair, since Carrie is remake of a 1976 movie based on a book published in 1974, saying this new trailer "spoils" the movie probably isn't quite right. But still, maybe they shouldn't have reminded us about every single major event in the book in chronological order?

It's here! Like a murderous detective leaping from a Skyline, the Bioshock Infinite board game wants to come crashing into your house and help itself to the money in your pockets. It's a pretty exciting proposition—unlike video game tie-ins of movies, board game tie-ins aren't a meritless lake of bilge water. Some, like the Game of Thrones game, are pretty wonderful. So I was really curious sitting down to play The Siege of Columbia for a lengthy playtest. What have we got here? Bilge, or anti-bilge?

Ok, hold on to your butts: In this clip from a show in Japan, an unsuspecting man is startled by a guy in a pretty detailed dinosaur costume. Yeah, I know you can see the guy’s legs sticking out from the dino’s tummy, but the show’s producers really spared no expense. I can imagine the poor prankee was probably screaming in his mind, “Shoot her! Shoot her!”

I’m forcing this quote, but I can’t not say it. It’s my favorite. Ready? Ok.

“Clever girl.”

Watch all the dino-fun after the break…

This morning's Xbox Live update finally converts all Microsoft Points ("space bucks") to the real currency of the user's particular region. The conversion in the United States appears to be in-line with the standard point conversion rate of $1 = 80 MS points.

The system appears to round up to the nearest quarter dollar in real currency during the update. For example, I had 3630 points, which converted would be $45.38. It was rounded up to $45.50 in the transition.

Microsoft announced the real money change-up during its E3 press conference. The company has also posted a currency transition FAQ.

Good news, breakfast fans: General Mills is bringing Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Franken Berry, Frute Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy back just in time for Halloween this year. While Frute Brute hasn’t existed in my lifetime, the cereal did get a brief cameo in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, which can only mean that it is in fact awesome and that we will enjoy it.

And good news for those of you who don’t like the new, updated packaging: Target stores will sell the cereal in retro boxes. Like so:

 

I’m considering buying them all just to have some throwback Halloween decor. What about you guys? (And who has tried Frute Brute? Is it good?)
