Looks.
Awesome.

Portal Speed Run in 10 Minutes

If you've never played Portal, then you're an idiot. No, seriously. It's a scientifically proven fact that some very smart dudes in Sweden discovered a year or so ago. They published a paper called, "If You Have Never Played The Game Portal Then You Are An Idiot." It was very well received by the worldwide scientific community and is up for a Nobel Peace Prize next year.

Anyway, if you are one of these scientifically proven idiots, then consider the following video to be a major spoiler as it's the entire game played through in a speed run in about ten minutes.

And before you shout, "that's impossible" - you're right. It is impossible without taking advantage of known game glitches. This shouldn't take away from the amazing amount of skill and preparation (two years!) that went into this run. Take a looksee.

Lego Antikythera Mechanism

At the turn of the last century, a strange mechanism was found in a sunken shipwreck off the coast of a Greek island called Antikythera. The wreck itself has been dated back to sometime during the first century BC. For years the mechanism's use and construction was absolutely unknown leading people to speculate everything from alien technology to novelty automata. It's said to have the complexity and intricacies of a Swiss clock, especially in its precision in accurately calculating astronomical movements, for which it was designed and, as such, has been called the world's oldest analog computer.

And it has been reconstructed using Lego bricks.

Rock Em Sock Em Robots the Movie

A few years back there was talk of various boardgames being made into film: Monopoly, Battleship, Candyland, Ouija, and Rock Em Sock Em Robots. No, seriously. Some Hollywood shit-for-brains actually thought a movie should be made about Candyland.

Sure, there was 1985's Clue but that game is already laid out with a plot like structure and lent itself to a movie adaption pretty damn well. But now they're talking about a remake or at least another version of Clue as a movie. Does it seem to anyone else that people are running out of ideas to make original movies?

So, I don't really know if the upcoming movie Real Steel is really what happened with the original idea for a Rock Em Sock Em Robots movie, but it sure looks like it. And it looks effing dumb.



Where's my Hungry Hungry Hippos movie, Hollywood bitches?

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Not due out until November 1, 2011 (11-1-11) Drake's next adventure will take him in search of the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands." Sometimes called Iram and sometimes called Ubar, Drake's inevitable race against time and gun wielding antagonists sounds like the developers may have recently just read the novel Sandstorm by one of my favorite writers, James Rollins. I remember reading it and thinking the story would make for a great movie or video game. Enjoy the official trailer and screenshots below.

You can buy either item (yes, they are real) at Duluth Trading Company. And no, I'm not getting anything to advertise for these guys, I just think their ads are effin' awesome.

Transformers 3 Teaser Trailer

Officially called "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," but that title sucks balls. The first movie was pretty cool and the second one blew huge chunks. Let's hope this third one won't be as crappy as the title. Every time I say that title out loud I can't help but hear "Transformers: Bark at the Moon."

Anyway, check out the teaser trailer here:



I love alternate history scenarios in fiction. I just really hope this isn't complete garbage.

Homemade Left 4 Dead Door

The folks over at Rooster Teeth (the guys behind Red vs Blue) just finished modding the door to their studio.  At first I thought it was a decal or cling of some sort (and then wondered where I could buy one) but after looking at the other two pictures the details become clear.  Very cool stuff.

Here's something else cool they did: driving a car in 3rd person perspective:

True Grit

A Coen Brothers (Raising Arizona, Fargo, Big Lebowski, the list goes on and on) remake of the 1969 John Wayne classic True Grit is coming out this Christmas season. Co-produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin, this movie is looking asskickingly sweet. Check out the trailer below.



EDIT: Holy shit there are a lot of "cowboy movies" on the horizon. Is there some sort of cowboy genre resurgence going on? We've got Cowboys vs Aliens, Cowboys vs Ninjas, Cowboys vs Zombies (Red Dead Redemption's undead DLC), and now Cowboys vs... well... other Cowboys.

Nothing wrong with this as I've always been pretty partial to cowboy movies ever since I first saw the Sergio Leone "Man With No Name" movies as a kid.
