Make Up Your Mind!: Ambigrammatic Tattoo~



This ambigrammatic (FAKE WORD IS FAKE) tattoo reads 'art & science' when read in one direction, 'philosophy' when read in another and 'schools 4 fools' when read upside-down in a mirror while spinning around repeating 'Bloody Mary'.

"Art & Science / Philosophy" -- designed by renowned typographer John Langdon, best known for providing the artwork featured in the novels of Dan Brown~

Impressive work, John. Any chance of hooking me up with a 'Geekout/Anime Lover' design? I'll pay you -- IN ILLUMINATI GOLD! I'm on to you, Freemason~

Jimmy Fallon on KZ3 3D..OMG,OMG!! THIS IS INSANE!~



Check out what happens when the Helghast invade Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Clue: one host who has no clue what he’s doing but seems to be having shed-loads of fun nonetheless. The footage, suavely narrated by Guerrilla Games’ Herman Hulst, shows off the previously seen on-rails Intruder sequence from the start of the game. Not much new here it seems, though we do get a few meagre glimpses of the oil-rig’s structure from Frozen Shores and how players can knock out struts, sending screaming Higs to a freezing, watery death below. woohoo~

Star Trek VS Ke$ha's 'TiK ToK'~



Somebody (Youtube user MissSheenie) went and searched through original Star Trek footage to sync to Ke$ha's crappy hit 'TiK ToK'. This is the resulting music video. Admittedly, MissSheenie did a great job, but I can't help but hate Ke$ha. And not just because she has a dollar sign in her name and an ass that looks like two sad pancakes, but that certainly doesn't help. God, remember when it took actual talent to get a record deal? Now all it takes is f***ing wingdings in your name~

Pac-Man Inventor Still Carries Around His Original Sketches Of The Game~




This is Tōru Iwatani. He invented Pac-Man 30 years ago and still carries around his original "top secret" sketches of the game in a notebook. Me? I invented cool 28 years ago and still push my balls around in a wheelbarrow~

Iwatani was a speaker at the recent Festival of Games. To the surprise of the conference's host, Iwatani was carrying the original Pac-Man sketches with him~


See that 秘? It means these documents are secret~

Secret schmecret, the game's been out forever. This isn't 1979 you know. Or is it? No, it's not. If this were 1979 we wouldn't be having this orgy on the internet, we'd be doing it at your parents' house with a bunch of blow (I think I kissed your dad)~

But How Many People Died?: Body Counters Counts Movie Deaths So You Don't Have To~



The Body Counters website keeps track of how many deaths there were in a particular film so you can decide if it's worth watching or not. For example, in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood only one person dies. NOT WORTH IT. But what about 'Jason X'? Try 250,023 (including beating one person in a sleeping bag to death with another person in a sleeping bag, then that one against a tree). NOW THAT'S A F***ING WINNER!~

Something that's been missing from your day: a guy taking a sword directly to the face, am I right? Good thing there's this red-band trailer for Neil Marshall's Centurion to sate that need! From what I can tell, this film is The Incredible Journey if the domesticated animals were instead Roman soldiers sneaking around and killing a bunch of dudes~

Mortal Kombat Rebirth~



Just under eight minutes of shot "Mortal Kombat" has been posted on YouTube. Now it reports that the film is, as many theorized, a test for a potential R-rated film reboot of the video game franchise. The short is directed by Kevin Tancharoen. This short is awesome! Actress Jeri Ryan, seen in the short playing Sonya Blade, offered further comment about the project on Twitter. "It's not a game trailer," Ryan said. "Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film." She said she had "No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was~

DO WANT: Street Hawk Urban Assault Vehicle~





The Street Hawk is the first vehicle with 46 inches of independent wheel travel without camber or caster compromise. The ride height or ground clearance is adjustable from zero to 44 inches while in motion. The Street Hawk has 1,100 horsepower, 1,805 foot pounds of torque and has a highway estimated 22mpg. The vehicle is all-wheel-drive with 40 inch tall, 15.5 inch wide tires and 22 inch wheels. The air suspended seats are hand crafter to the driver's specific proportions. From the driver's seat you can control the vehicles pitch, roll and overall ride height using D-pad controls beneath your fingertips~

The Street Hawk is the best on-road performing Shadow Hawk. With an overall weight of 4,800 pounds, the Street Hawk can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 3.5 seconds and has a calculated top speed of 208mph. The vehicle uses an innovative suspension system that leans into corners and maintains the ideal camber and caster geometry throughout operation. Production is set at 12 units per year with the first vehicle available in late 2011~

I want one. No, I NEED one. And they start at only $1.2 million. I'm gonna buy all of next year's production! In my dreams. And speaking of my dreams: I had one last night where I was making out with a werewolf (I blame Twilight). So yeah, what's that mean? And, completely unrelated, any idea why my dog's been hiding under the bed all day? Must be sick~

Full THOR Costume Revealed~



Continuing the week's leaking of superhero concept art that Marvel suspiciously doesn't seem to be halting, here's a mock-up of The Mighty Thor in his whole goofy get-up. You may recall, the studio previously released a MySpace-style top-down photo of Chris Hemsworth rubber-suited trunk, but this is our first look at what he'll look like full-body: like Thor's torso grafted onto the legs of a G.I. Joe villain. Now you know~

Mother Nature, You Bitch: Giant Sinkhole In Guatemala City Swallows Buildings, Road, People~




Satan, are you down there? This is a giant-ass sinkhole in Guatemala City that appeared over the weekend after tropical storm Agatha (whore! You're no Cristie) battered Central America with rain.

"DOWNPOURS caused by tropical storm Agatha have created a giant sinkhole in Guatemala City, while throughout the country officials have reported 120 people dead and at least 53 missing"~

"The sinkhole, which formed in the northern part of the capital city, swallowed up a space larger than the area of a street intersection.

Residents said a three-storey building and a house fell into the hole. The residents blamed a poor sewerage system for the sinkhole."

My thoughts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy~

Piano Gloves~

Piano Gloves from Scott Garner on Vimeo.



Here's a prototype of the Piano Gloves that enables users to play a full size piano without any piano present. Designed by Scott Garner. This design is composed of two digitally enhanced gloves that use Arduino and processing to track the player’s movements and create the corresponding piano notes. User just puts on the gloves and then plays the piano on any flat surface, such as a desk or table, and the gloves will know what notes the user is intending to play~
