First Trailer For the Tomb Raider Franchise Reboot

I love Lara's new look (see LINKAGE for more info).




Grand Theft Auto Modding on the PC is Awesome!

You have to love the modding scene; especially when they go past the "cool" things we'd all like to see modded in a game and just go for ludicrous. Check out the following and pay special attention to the motorcycles and terminators endoskeletons and... whatever. Just watch.

Looney Tunes 3D Version of 2D Cartoon Done Right

I always shudder when I hear that there are movements to bring traditionally 2-dimensional cartoon characters into 3D. I don't mean the crappy 3D where you have to where glasses and you find yourself reaching out to grab stuff like an idiot; I mean 3D rendered computer animation as per The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, etc. The following video is an example of how it can be done just right. The action, direction, colors, lighting, and character design all still feel like the old 2D versions of the Coyote and Road Runner cartoons with a new wrapping. I can certainly get behind something like this.

EDIT: Warner Bros. is pulling the video as fast as it can go up. I tried another link but that went down PDQ. Just do a Google search for "Looney Tunes 3D Coyote Falls" and you should be able to find a quick clip here and there. The Vimeo link was awesome as it was in HD (the currently available YouTube copy is not and the video severely suffers for it). Oh, well.

Evil Baby Bullet

This is about 40,000 levels of awesome and creepy.  I couldn't stop watching and couldn't stop giggling - especially when the sweet potato puffs a cloud of smoke.

WARNING: You will lose 1d12 Sanity Points if you watch the entire video

Protesting Luchador

I don't know what's happening in this picture and, to be honest, I don't want to know.  Indisputable fact: the guy on the motorcycle has enormous balls.

I'm the Catman

Suntanning Slave Leia x2!

Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in the slave costume from Return of the Jedi + her stunt double + lying out to get a suntan on set in the Mojave Desert = AWESOME

Wonder Woman Canceled

It's really no big surprise, but the official word from NBC is that the Wonder Woman television show has been canceled before it even gets a chance to air. Thanks to this tweet we have a shot of the Wonder-Woman-That-Could-Have-Been in this picture of Adrianne Palicki wearing the "booty shorts" version of the costume.

Insane Trackmania Nations Forever Track

This is one of the most creative tracks for Trackmania that I've seen to date:

Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale



Atari's Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale was released today for the Xbox Live Arcade (1200 MS Points) and the PC ($14.99 direct download or in-store purchase). It releases on May 31st for the PlayStation Network ($14.99). It's not a question of whether or not I'll get it, the question is which platform? LINKAGE to official site.

2011 Game of the Year?

This really has to be one of the single greatest pieces of video game footage I've ever seen.



The video's title is, "JRA Cinema Keiba on Web JAPAN WORLD CUP (ジラフ Giraffe)"

New 3D Green Lantern Trailer



The newest trailer for the upcoming (June 17th) Green Lantern movie is pinned to some 3D showings of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and makes all the previous Lantern trailers look like crap.
