MUSIC MON! SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE BETRAYAL OF SONIC AND BATMAN!

BATMETAL!!!

Let's start with a pretty damn metal video from AhryBES animation starring the dumbest version of Batman since Frank Miller's "Crazy Steve" from All-Star Batman. Combining Dethklok's Face Fisted with the Dark Knight is a brilliant bit of pop culture crossover madness and the animation is simultaneously revolting, arousing, and hilarious.

I can't wait to see their next project and hope it has the same ambitious scale shown in this comic-tastic piece of fanart.

SPOONY THEME- BETRAYAL (ULTIMA VERSION)

I dunno if I've shared this before...but who cares!

Spoony's Ultima Retrospective is one of my favorite series online-- they have a lot of really interesting observations on game design and storytelling (so much so that Lord British is Spoony's fan), they have some fantastic skits that go above the writing and production quality called for, and the build-up to the conclusion is so good!

SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!

This is dedicated to my friend Clay who, coincidentally, just got himself a pet hedgehog for his 20th birthday.

It is named Anguirus and it is, admittably, very cute.

Happy birthday, dork.

QUOTED FROM A FORUM POST BECAUSE IT WAS TOO MISSHAPEN FOR THE BLOG:
"Anonymous 07/27/09 (Mon) 02:17 No. 10536711

Aladdin: In one scene, Genie calls Al's clothes "so 3rd century." Genie has been the lamp for 10,000 years, so there's no way he could know of the fashion trends which hppened since he's been trapped. Which means the latest Genie could have been trapped in the lamp is the 3rd century. If he spent 10,000 years in there, it is now AT LEAST the year 10,300 AD when he gets out.

Conclusion: Aladdin takes place IN THE FUTURE. A post-apocalyptic world where only Arab culture (and some Greek) survived. It has been so long that the name "Arabia" has been corrupted to "Agrabah." The Muslim religion has atrophied to the point where there are no mosques, Imams, or prayers mats, but people still give praise to Allah in moments of happiness. Amazing technological marvels left behind by the previous civilization, like sentinel flying carpets or genetically engineered parrots which comprehend human speech instead of just mimic it, are taken for granted by the locals or considered "magic."

The Genie proves this by making impressions of ancient, long-dead celebrities like Groucho Marx, Jack Nicholson, etc."

The reply?
