The One-Vowel Rap [Video]

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

I love clever rap.

A rather entertaining rap song by artist Andrew Huang where e is the only vowel used.

we get berserk
we beseech herds: keep speech clever
we get knee-jerk effects
never need reckless reefer
when we feed text – sweet dessert
free verse?

My sister sent me a screen shot like this, and I had to talk to her about phone-battery care.

It's a big deal.

The Flash Runs Into a Small Problem [Comic]

by Geeks are Sexy

Humorous, but ultimately untrue. The Flash has super-reflexes.

And is easily the best superhero of all time.

If we were just considering Marvel, it'd be The Hulk.

The Trailer for a David Lynch-Directed Return of the Jedi Is Kind of Legitimately Terrifying [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle

In true Lynchian fashion, the heebie-jeebs of this video by Samuel C. Spitale sneak up on you. “Ok, he just cut Jedi clips together in a weird fashion, it’s kinda funny… HOLY S***, BOB.” And then the Red Room backwards talking talking happens, and that’s never not terrifying. It could be in Adventure Time and I’d still shudder.

Gender Bent “Erotic” Metal Gear Solid V Cosplay Is Fantastic

by Amy Ratcliffe
Tom Wright

The world needs to know.

genderbent metal gear solid quiet

Some of the outfits in Metal Gear Solid V don’t exactly provide full coverage, and the sniper Quiet is barely wearing anything. Hideo Kojima, director and more on the series, says the purpose behind that design and others was to be erotic.

Check out the tweets after the break (mildly NSFW)…

The initial target is to make u want to do cosplay or its figurine to sell well.

— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) September 4, 2013

The character I asked Yoji to make it more erotic, this one may not be cosplayable.

— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) September 4, 2013

Dear Cosplayer friends, something like this for example. pic.twitter.com/SWkN3BSDFy

— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) September 4, 2013

Well, Kyle Mistry made it cosplayable. I hope he hangs out with the guy who recently cosplayed Lara Croft.

When @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN said he wanted people to cosplay Quiet, don't think this is what he had in mind. Soon, Fanime. pic.twitter.com/bSmFcRhDpb

“Frozen” As A Horror Movie? [Video]

by Nicole Wakelin
Tom Wright

Hilarious. Absolutely loved it.

Capture_Upload

You wouldn’t think you could turn the warm and fuzzy world of Frozen into a horror movie, but you’d be wrong. This video takes the scenes you know from the film, but splices them all together in a very disturbing way. Add in choice bits of dialogue and music fit for the latest slasher flick, and you have a version of Frozen that definitely is not safe for the kiddies.

See the video after the break…

Ninjas vs. Zombies = NINJA APOCALYPSE: The Movie

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

This looks... unbelievably good.

I’m not too sure about this one, but it features zombies and ninjas… and it looks pretty cheesy, so I’ll definitely be checking it out! I haven’t seen any synopsis of the plot, so I can’t tell you much more about it unfortunately, apart from the fact that it’s supposed to be released on August 5th on video on demand platforms.

Honest Trailer: The X-Men Trilogy [Video]

Honest Trailers are the best. Period.

From Screen Junkies:

“Days of Future Past” is almost here, featuring every X-Man ever. We decided to look back at the original X-Men trilogy, which spawned two great movies and one that should have been optic-blasted into oblivion.

Darth Lily Meets LEGO R2-D2 [Video]

by Amy Ratcliffe

I have to have a girl-child so I can dress her up in gender-bent dark villain costumes. I'll call her Tara Dactyl.

Tara Dactyl Voldermort!

Tara Dactyl Joker!

Darth Tara Dactyl!

vader and r2-d2

Wherever R2-D2 goes, he brings magic with him. Kids chase after him, and he makes adults smile. At Emerald City Comicon, a LEGO R2-D2 (L3-G0) encountered a little girl in a Darth Vader costume and their interaction will melt your heart. Darth Lily carries on a conversation with R2-D2, and when she realizes the astromech is afraid of her Vader mask, she removes it and hugs him. Cue the chorus of “Awwws.”

Flail over the cute in the video after the break.

Great trailer, to hopefully a great movie. I'm really stoked to see this one. But not enough to brave the movie theaters for it.

Say hello (again) to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Secondary, Facebook trailer in case the Youtube version is pulled. We were experiencing issues with both.

Apex Rising now on Kickstarter!

by Tom
Tom Wright

So I had to add my own blog in order to post this.

It's weird to follow my own blog on here.

For the next 14 days, you can back Apex Rising on Kickstarter. It’s been live for less than 2 hours, and we’re already over $100! (because someone already bought the reward level of choosing a name in my upcoming series, but hey, a victory is a victory)

Please go check it out, and make sure to watch through the end of the video to see Bear the actor dog.

Apex Rising has its own website, too, if you want to read a little more about the world (in Appendix A & B).

Thanks for being awesome!

EDIT: Remember that one time that I said we were over $100? Well, only 4 hours in and we’ve hit 60%. I’m feeling a lot more confident now than I was 5 hours ago. Thanks everyone!

Shark Fin Life Vest Turns Your Dog Into A Terror From The Deep

by Nicole Wakelin
Tom Wright

Terror from the deep? Or... Bear-er from the deep?!!!

et_Upload

Okay, so not really that terrifying since it’s a life vest for your dog with a bright blue fin on the back. Still, this life vest will keep your pooch floating even if he gets too tired to paddle, and the fin is even functional. Should you need to grab your dog, it’s like a built-in handle. All the most stylish dogs are sure to be sporting shark fin life vests this summer.

Realistic Mario Shouldn’t Mess With Dinosaurs [Video]

by Stefan A. Slater
Tom Wright

I love these Realistic Mario videos.

realistic yoshi

Things rarely turn out well for Mario and his brother Luigi in Pete Holmes’ sketch comedy series, Realistic Mario. In a previous episode, Mario found out that slamming your head into a floating brick really, really, really hurts. But in this latest video, Mario discovers that cute dinosaurs like Yoshi are, at the end of the day, still flippin’ dinosaurs. Which means they like to kill and eat things. A lot.

Watch the video after the break…
