Borderlands 2 New Playable Psycho Character

Just released 2 weeks ago, his name is Krieg and this introduction video of his is effing awesome:

Pacific Rim - Inside the Cockpit

I love that the giant human controlled mechs are called Jaegers.  The Germanic name reminds me of the giant mecha from the Front Mission video game series called Wanzers.  And it's pretty kickass that they are calling the giant monsters Kaiju which is what they have always been called in Japan (Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and the rest are all called Kaiju).

Anyway, check out this "behind the scenes" footage showcasing the sets for the cockpits.


P.S. The name Kaiju should not be confused with the Kaiju Big Battel (that's not a misspelling) wrestling federation which is both awesome and hilarious rolled into one.

Korean Guy Loves His Take Out Food

Siri Is An Asshole

Ridd Sorensen's various "Siri and Me" videos from Vine compiled into one YouTube video:

Five Guys Burgers and Fries - Oh My Dayum!

There's a guy on YouTube (Daym Drops) who is known for his various food reviews - he buys food, eats it in his car, and reviews it as he eats it.  He's pretty fucking funny.  Anyway, this video below is following the recent trend of auto-tuning popular videos with hilarious results.  The song is pretty damned catchy, actually.




And here's the original video:



Full disclosure: I fucking love Five Guys burgers.

Man of Steel: Fate of Your Planet Trailer

FINALLY!  A Superman movie that, at its core, is a Sci Fi story with a protagonist wrestling with the notion of trying to be human while actually having the powers of a god.  FUCKING YES!

Releases June 14, 2013

Xbox One Reveal Highlights

I'm sure the console will sell a billion units in the first five minutes of its release later this year, but the gaming press is having a field day with trashing Microsoft from forcing people who buy used games into paying an extra fee to be able to unlock the game to forcing players to be connected online in order to play a new game for the first time so that the purchase can be verified... ugh.  Even Adam Sessler, one of the only people whose opinion I respect and value in the video gaming world, tweeted that any cheers that were heard during the reveal came from the Microsoft staff in one area of the audience and not from the reviewers or press that were there.  Eek.



However, to be fair, Sessler wasn't completely negative in his review of the Xbox One reveal:

Spider-Man Plays Basketball With Local Kids

Andrew Garfield, the current actor playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man, takes a break from the set of next year's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to play basketball with some local kids while in costume.

What makes this video great for me is knowing that something like this would easily happen in the world of the Spider-Man comics.

The Wolverine Trailer #2

The Wolverine opens July 26, 2013.  The trailer already makes it look better than the steaming pile that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Is that Silver Samurai in there?  Or just some sort of nod to him in the form of a giant fucking Samurai mecha?

I Broke Surgeon Simulator 2013

You've heard me talking about Surgeon Simulator 2013 before, but you have to watch the following video.  I completely lost my shit about halfway through and I guarantee you will too.

Assassin's Creed 4: Under the Black Flag Trailer

Assassin's Creed?!  Pirates?!  YES!

Goal Celebrations

I dare you to try and figure out which of the following snippets of various soccer goal celebrations have been touched up a bit with computerized visual effects.  I don't think you can.

(NOTE: I'm from the Colonies so it's "soccer" and not "football" despite the majority of the world thinking otherwise)

Space Oddity by Cmdr. Chris Hadfield

Canada's most famous astronaut, Commander Chris Hadfield, just returned from a mission on board the International Space Station.  On his last day there, he recorded this cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity which just serves to solidify his incredible badassery.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Trailer

Here is the promo trailer for the upcoming television series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which will air on ABC this Fall on Tuesdays at 8 PM Eastern.  Looks pretty promising, really.  The pilot is written, directed, and produced by Joss Whedon which, for us Buffy/Angel/Dr. Horrible/Avengers/Dollhouse/Firefly fans is a fantastic thing indeed.

Lego Casino Royale

Guy re-makes the opening to the 2006 Bond movie, Casino Royale, entirely out of Lego.




And here is a side-to-side comparison of his shots.

Gravity Trailer

Trailer for the movie Gravity which releases October 4, 2013.  Don't know much about the movie outside of what the trailer shows but what I see looks good.

Ender's Game Trailer

November 1, 2013 cannot come soon enough.  This trailer for the upcoming film, Ender's Game, based on the book of the same name, based on the short story of the same name, will cure erectile dysfunction just from watching it.

To be fair, there is a spoiler in the trailer that I won't point out but really wish wasn't in it.

Super Rowboat Man

Fucking.
Awesome.

I'm fairly certain my hernia had a coronary from laughing so damned hard at the ending.

Spock Versus Spock

It's really too bad that this is ultimately an ad for Audi, but this video that pits "old" Spock (Leonard Nimoy) against "new Spock" (Zachary Quinto) is so well done and so worth watching, especially when Nimoy sings... well... just watch.

Pacific Rim Wondercon Footage

Pacific Rim hits US theaters July 12, 2013 and I cannot wait.  This looks absolutely badass.

Steel Panther's Death To All But Metal

The mock-80's hair band, Steel Panther, just played locally about a month ago.  Wish I had seen them.  Check out this video for Death to All But Metal:

Why You SHOULD Drive Recklessly

Thor: The Dark World Trailer

Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8, 2013

Hit Song

So, here's an awesome video that makes fun of today's hit songs:



And here's a video for a popular song (vid has over 22 milllion hits) that is EXACTLY what the previous parody is making fun of. All you need to watch is the first minute or so and you'll realize how on the mark the parody truly is.



And an oldie but a goodie that identifies how popular songs are all just derivations on Pachobel's Canon in D



Make sure you check out The Axis of Awesome's video for 4 Chords (I'm not allowed to embed it).

And here is John Lajoie's take on the subject:

Cat Scores a Soap Opera

If you've ever seen a daytime soap opera, even once, you'll instantly recognize how accurate this guy's cat's score truly is.

Patton Oswalt's Star Wars Filibuster

From Parks and Recreation - done in one take:

Call Me Scary

Have you heard Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" just one time too many?  Try these alternatives:

Call Me Maybe slowed down by 1,000% and it comes out sounding trance-like and pretty awesome



Call Me Scary - I'm pretty sure you will conjure Yog-Sothoth into being if you play this beginning to end

FDR: American Badass!

I am so far behind with my regurgitations... ugh.  Most of what I wanted to post in the past few weeks have already made their rounds on FaceSpace and the Twatter (no, I did NOT just misspell anything).  Anyway, until I get caught up, check out this trailer for the upcoming movie FDR: American Badass! which apparently came out last September.
