This Is What a 70s Guardians of the Galaxy Cartoon Would've Looked Like

We're actually going to get an animated Guardians show on Disney XD this year, but had the characters been in the very gifted hands of Hanna-Barbera decades ago, this is totally what it would have looked like.

This Is Not A Screenshot From Star Wars, It's A @#$%ing Toy

This Is Not A Screenshot From Star Wars, It's A @#$%ing Toy

Hot Toys has done it again. They've used their dark magics to somehow create a 12-inch Darth Vader action figure so stunning, so accurate, that it could honestly be used in the actual movie itself. Get all the details (and more unbelievable pics) here!

Have You Played… Gone Home?

by Philippa Warr

A cardboard child

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.

Gone Home opens as Kaitlin Greenbriar returns to her family after spending a year abroad, but rather than a welcome party she finds a curiously empty house and a missing sister.

The Underlying Assumption That's Necessary For Every Star Trek Mission

by Ria Misra

The Underlying Assumption That's Necessary For Every Star Trek Mission

There are a lot of things you have to simply accept (like teleporters and faster than light travel) in the Star Trek universe. But there's also an underlying assumption in the show that has less to do with technology and more to do with its characters — and it's been hiding in plain sight the entire time.

Amazing Iron Man Parody Trailer Turns Tony Stark Into A Literal Iron

by James Whitbrook on Toybox, shared by Robbie Gonzalez to io9

És molt gran. S'ho han currat :P

Per cert, i moolt off-topic. Com m'agrada Constantine, he de reconèixer que des del segon episodi millora moltíssim, son fidelíssims als còmics en quan a trames i personatges i una cosa que m'ha encantat és que han fet que en Chas sigui clarament inmortal, hi havia moltes "fan theories" i es donava a entendre, però aquí t'ho deixen clar.

La putada és que quan a mi em mola una sèrie l'acaben cancel·lant i, de moment, no hi ha plans per a una segona temporada... :'-(

Iron Man/Ironing jokes have been around forever, but I don't think I've ever seen a parody as extensive as this - behold, the full fledged trailer for Iron Can!

In an exclusive excerpt from the book The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, we've got exclusive early sketches, plus the first He-Man pitch memo!

Cities: Skylines – Hope For Heartbroken SimCity Fans?

by Paul Dean

Last year’s SimCity disappointed me. Beautifully presented, it was nevertheless cramped, buggy, and content to throw thousands of simoleons at me no matter how good or bad I was at my job. It broke my heart a tiny bit. When I heard that Colossal Order were working on Cities: Skylines, I wondered if they might just pick up the pieces. Already experts on making games about transport and infrastructure, their pedigree suggested that Cities: Skylines might just be the civil engineer-cum-defibrillator that I needed to fix everything.

Sitting down to watch Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen play with a very early build of the game, I found everything remarkably recognisable, perhaps even too familiar. Cities: Skylines looks an awful lot like the the last SimCity and that’s not simply because it demands a floating, eye-of-God perspective and buttons for laying down roads or stretching out industrial estates. Its interface is laid out in a very similar way. Many of the overlays work in a very similar way. I’m immediately reminded of how the Warlock games, also published by Paradox, looked very much like a fantasy mod for Civilization V.

Well, The New Doctor Who Christmas Special Looks Bleak As Hell

by Rob Bricken

The first, extremely brief look at this year's Doctor Who Christmas special has arrived, and I think showrunner Steven Moffat may be trying to put a bit of coal in Who fans' stockings, metaphorically speaking. Even with Nick Frost as Santa, this looks like the darkest holiday special yet.

The New Star Wars Theme Park Rides Will Be Based on The Force Awakens

Sad days for those hoping that Disney would be making more attractions in the vein of Star Tours, allowing visitors to leap into the world of the original trilogy (let's be honest — no one's upset about the lack of prequel rides). Nothing new will make it into the Disney parks that isn't related to new films.

First 7 Minutes Of This Time Travel Movie May Draw You Into A Paradox

They made a movie of Robert A. Heinlein's time-travel paradox story "All You Zombies," and now you can watch the first seven minutes of Predestination, right here. They showcase the newly-added subplot about a terrorist bomber, but also hint at just how this character's timeline gets so tangled.

Did Arrow Just Reuse Some Fallout 3 Armour?

Huh. Warner TV Asia has released a teaser trailer for this week's Arrow Midseason Finale, purportedly revealing the final look of Brandon Routh's Captain Atom armour suit. But if you're a fan of the apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3, it might look more than a little familiar to you.

Mark Hamill is set to reprise one of his most iconic roles, and I'm not talking about Luke Skywalker. Hamill will return to the role of the Trickster, the maniacal supervillain he played on the original 1990 Flash TV series, on the CW's new Flash show. That's awesome.

Skyrim Mod Endreal’s Trailer Explores The Undercity

by Shaun Green

The developers of upcoming Skyrim total conversion Enderal: The Shards of Order have released a new trailer, showing off a location dubbed the Undercity.

I’m curious: just how does one acquire a Shard of Order? First you’d need to shatter an intangible concept, which seems like a lot of hard work, even for a fantasy big boss. Ordering a Shard seems a lot easier: you can just have one custom-made by any number of Skyrim merchants. Enderal, whoever you are – you have my number. Call me.
