First Look At Snake Eyes
When I first heard they were going to be giving G.I. Joe the live-action, Hollywood treatment, there was a part of me that cringed inside. In spite of the commendable job done with Transformers, I’m still very skeptical of Hollywood’s ability to mine my childhood without utterly ravaging and killing its treasures in the extraction process. When they announced that Ray “Darth Maul” Parks was slated to play Snake Eyes, my spirit was bolstered, but I remained cautious. Then GunDoc posted these pictures over on the OKC forums and suddenly I’m actually excited about the project. Check out one more picture, along with its obvious inspiration after the cut.

Obama On Race
I generally try to stay as far away from politics as I can. I’ve found that the subject often leads to horribly divisive arguments. More than that, though, I’ve never really cared enough about politics to get into it. I’ve been jaded by the past nearly eight years under the Bush administration. But, for the first time in my life, I genuinely care about the political process in this country. Moreover, I actually care about a political candidate. For once in my life, I feel like we can get this country back on track. Even through all of the mud-slinging and dredging up of anything to tarnish his character, Obama has retained his integrity.
OK Company Caricatures (Part 2)
Blud
Ever since I met him on GRAW 2, sniping with “Shitbrick” has been Blud’s first love.
After posting the first batch I discovered that the guys rather enjoyed my artistic take on each of them. Inspired by their enthusiasm, I set out to churn out another set of caricatures. Check out the rest after the jump.

1 Cop Vs. 25 Stoners
Just to put things in perspective, this is a 4/20 event staged by some intrepid stoners at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO. 25 stoners huddled under a parachute have their session interrupted by one bamboozled officer of the law.
OK Company Caricatures (Part I)
The Fat Ninja Goes CoD4
This was the one that started it all, and it remains my favorite.
In a recent burst of inspiration, I’ve been trying to draw caricatures of all of the guys from OK Company. It’s been a slow process and I’m still not even close to being done. Since OK Company has been playing mostly Call of Duty 4, I’m using it as the theme for the caricatures. Check out the rest after the cut.

Will Arnett Plays CoD4
Man, I wish I knew his Gamertag.
Optimus Prime and the Evolution of Dance
I can’t imagine the sheer exercise in patience that this video demanded, but the results are absolutely hilarious.
New Star Wars Clone Wars Trailer Emerges
Far be it for George Lucas to let the Star Wars franchise lie dormant. Fans will once more return to the Clone Wars in this upcoming CG feature that appears to take place some time between Episodes II and III, while being uncomfortably wedged in some cramped niche of the time-line established by the original animated feature of the self-same title. When I had first heard about it I was a little dismayed to find us lingering once again in prequel-era Star Wars, as it’s all getting so crowded, but then again it’s Star Wars; I really couldn’t give a shit when it takes place so long as there’s some Sith-on-Jedi action (Clone/Storm-trooper action also a plus). Judging from the trailer, this stuff abounds. I will submit, however, that I’d love to see the Republic Commando story arc expanded beyond the one game and several books it spawned.
Time To Pretend
Yesterday my pal Eriq stumbled upon this little gem on the ol’ internets. It’s the video for the song Time To Pretend by MGMT. The catchy chorus and driving, distorted drum-line easily hooked me and I was grabbed by the blatant references to psychidellics.

The Dead Flag Blues
The combination of the edited CoD4 footage and Godspeed You Black Emperor!’s track The Dead Flag Blues is really stunning in this bit of machinima.
PS~Thanks to Zeak for the tip.
