I don’t like to see cool ideas in advertising copied by other companies that sell a similar product. BUT! I am always a fan of these slow-motion, soft music, high-action video game teaser trailers. I don’t know why. It is just a format that super does it for me. 

I believe Gears of War was the first one who really did it effectively. 

In no particular order, the other commercials like this I remember were:

• Halo 3
• Dead Island
• Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

The weather is so bizarrely nice out today that I decides to put on a nicer pair of shoes. Today we have my Adidas Galactic Scoundrels which are themed around the original scoundrel, Han Solo.

What you can’t see is the bacon and ham and two kinds of cheese underneath the fried egg. Potato wedges were also fried in duck fat.

I won’t be having any supper tonight.

You can now get Threadless shirts and hoodies for your Xbox Live Avatar! Some people think buying things for your avatar is kind of dumb. I do not. I have so much shit for them. Mostly its costumes from games like Dead Space and Tron. 

They only had one of the shirts that I actually own, but it didn’t really translate as well on xbox. So I bought this one that JJ has in real life. They’re only 80 points. No big deal.

Sidenote: My name on xbox is VictorDoom if you wanted to add. I need some people to play Battlefield 3 with.

After another Monday night of Monsterpocalypse, I am still beating down on Jeremy’s Rakadon. The first half of this game went really quick, but in the end I kept healing which frustrated Jeremy to no end. The Cthul team seems really easy to heal with. They have units and abilities that make it very easy. 

I may have pushed Jeremy to putting away Rakadon in favor of another monster for next week. We’ll see. I think Rakadon can win, we just haven’t figured out the best way to use is abilities.

Wow. Check out these amazing screenshots from the upcoming sequel game Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Everyone looks so good. Grimlock, Shockwave, the whole gang. It is safe to say that I am very excited for this. 

The first one (War for Cybertron) was such a great game. Transformations were fluid, and they made sense. I never really felt forced to transform, it always felt natural. Story was great. I loved playing as both Autobots and Decepticons.

I have great faith in High Moon for this upcoming game.

I’m really digging this cover to Supergirl #8. George Perez is obviously one of the greats when it comes to comic book art. What I love about this thought is the negative space of the Silver Banshee’s costume being used. It’s been done before, no doubt, but the colors and the shapes really give a cool sense. 

I picked up the DMZ box for the Lords of Cthul team for Monsterpocalypse last week, and I got to try them out on my neighbor Jeremy and Rakadon. Ulgoth is a pretty mean beast and once he gets in for the beatdown, it comes hard. He is great when people try to surround him because enemy units adjacent just die when he’s hit. He can’t be thrown (unfortunately for Jeremy, he thought that meant he couldn’t be smashed either. Terminology is very important in this game) and he does super damage in his Hyper Form.

Only downside to Ulgoth seems to be his weak defense and low health. He is certainly aggressive though.

Really fantastic Mexican Pulp Art. You can view the mega post of them here. Some of them are weird and then some of them are weird.
