The Best Battlefield 1942 Kills EVER

Okay, I don't know about "ever" but these have to be up there as some of the best killshots in all of Battlefield history. The following two clips are similar in that the players each leap out of their planes to perform a seemingly miraculous killshot... and then return to their planes. In mid-air. Absolutely incredible.





I miss this game.

Beauty and the Beast - Thai Version



The Thai title literally translates to "Beautiful Girl With Curse Devil" which, I admit, is awesome. But that character design. Holy shit! To people who can't animate for shit: please, PLEASE leave character design up to the animators at Disney and the CG masters at Pixar. Because... well... you can't. The sad thing is that this is a shot for shot copy of the Disney film. Is that even legal?

Here's a Thai version of Snow White from the same demon possessed mother fuckers who animated "Beautiful Girl With Curse Devil."



See what I mean about character design? Those dwarves?
Yeah.
100% good old fashioned nightmare fuel.

I wish I knew the artist - I'd love to give credit where it's due.

What's interesting to me is that I've always heard Lucas intended the Battle of Endor to be an allegory for the Vietnam conflict: a technologically superior invasion force repelled by natives employing guerrilla tactics.

Banksy Does Simpsons Intro

I love Banksy.  No one quite does satire that hits it home for me as well and as hard as he does with his street art.  I wish I knew how the hell the Simpsons producers were able snag his talent for one of the current season's intros.

Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine Project

Babbage's Difference Engine

Okay, so I think the subject of Steampunk is pretty damned cool.  Maybe that's why I think the folks over at Plan 28 have a really nifty, albeit expensive, idea that they want to take off the ground: to build Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.  Wait a sec... let me clear something up.  Steampunk cosplaying?  Not so cool.  As a matter of fact, it's downright silly.  Well, unless you're a hot/sexy Steampunk cosplayer like this:

But, that's really more the exception than the rule.  Right?



Uh... what was I talking about again?  Oh, right.  This:
