Port de Balès Cows

Haven't put up a cycling vid in a long time. Here is a cool one. While doing some recon on the Port de Balès in the Pyrenees, the upcoming stage 15 in the TDF, Lance had some unexpected visitors. There is a second vid after the jump with a little more talking and explanation of what they are doing.

I do want you to note that in this first vid Lance is getting himself ready to be filmed (he doesn't realize it is already recording) and in the "actual" video he wanted to release he is more put together. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

A Look at the Different Nations (Updatedx2)

Just found these. Shyamalamadingdong totally nailed the look of the different nations. I cannot wait for these movies to come out. I just hope I'll have time to go watch it. I will be on my psych rotations, so shouldn't be too busy.

Here is the Water Nation, it is the one that impressed me the most. The other three after the jump.

Updated: io9 just posted this cool info on how ILM created some of the effects in the movie.

Here is also a buttload of high res pics that they released.




Air Temple



Fire Nation



Earth Nation



Do you like how I changed the color of the progress bar? Thought it was a nice touch. What do you guys think?

Haha, Classic Appa.

Here is a new teaser for The Last Airbender. Appa makes a longer appearance. I have to say again... I don't think that I like Aang's voice. Oh well.



Also, io9 did a brief review of Jonah Hex. They essentially say that every time it could have been real badass they ruined it. The say it sucks. Just to give you an idea, the post title is "Jonah Hex will make you want to burn your face with a red hot axe." Pretty descriptive I would say. Oh well, still have the comics.

Contra v Tetris

Ever wonder how a mashup between Contra and Tetris might look? For your viewing pleasure:



I always wondered where those damn blocks came from... this is not what I expected.

Mortal Kombat the way it should be...

Can you imagine a movie like this. This is super awesome. I would LOVE to watch this movie. The internets are still out on what it is. A preview for a new MK game? A movie that was never made? What do you guys think?

I Don't Remember This Product Placement

Enjoy Adidas' "original" World Cup ad. I guess this is pretty awesome... but hasn't the original trilogy seen enough changes in its lifetime? This is still better than Han shooting first.

Red Dead Redemption CO-OP

I was just thinking the other day, as much fun as attacking gang hideouts with your little brother is it can definitely get old. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a more structured co-op? Much to my surprise it was in the works the entire time. Hell. Yes.



Ever since I joined twitter my following list has grown to include a great many diverse people. Some of my favorites (in no particular order) are Batman, Conan, HHTDL, and mos recently Kevin Butler himself.

I also follow a lot of game developers including Rockstar. This is how I heard of this, just wanted to add that. You guys that can have twitter apps on your phones... I recommend it.

Super Hero Garb...

...is, IMO, getting dangerously close to this. Here are the latest images of our favorite Marvel heroes to make the transition to the big screen.

Thor (complete with Mjolnir):

Here is Good ol' Cap (sans wings on head):


As far as I'm concerned they really missed the mark on this next one after the jump.

I guess this is better than the Galactic Hurricane from the second Fantastic Four movie...

We Need Emotional Content

I used to be a huge Bruce Lee fan. Now I remember why. Lee is often remembered for his supernatural martial arts prowess, but forgotten for his philosophy.

Im not sure who recounted this story. Lets speculate! Chuck Norris? John Saxon?
