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!

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.
