‘BORDERLANDS 2’ SCREENSHOT BLOWOUT: CUSTOMIZE YOUR SEXY DEATH DEALER.
What with all the rejiggering of this year’s game releases, Borderlands 2 has elevated itself to the position of my most anticipated joint. Here’s some new screenshots of the bitty. I’m totally loving the fact that they’re employing an entire palette this time, not just a wasteland of brown and poopy-green.
Hit the jump for some screenshots.
Teaser Poster For EDGAR WRIGHT’S ‘THE WORLD’S END’ Proves Flick Is Really Real
Hell yeah. Teasing tips everywhere this weekend at Comic-Con is a poster for Edgar Wright’s The World’s End. It ain’t much, but it is enough.
Cosplay: FEMALE CYCLOPS Is X-Tremely Sexy. Crap Puns++
Don’t usually vomit up two cosplay posts in one day, but I had to post this. I had to post this.
CHARLIE KAUFMAN And ‘COMMUNITY’ Creator Dan Harmon Teaming Up On Stop-Motion Flick.
Look at this wizardly team-up of quirky proportions. Dan Harmon and Charlie Kaufman are joining arms, in hopes of bringing a stop-motion flick to the world.
NEIL GAIMAN Penning ‘SANDMAN’ Prequel In 2013. What Say You?
Listen, this ain’t Before Watchmen. This is a creator diving back into a world he created. At least that’s the delineation I see.
JOCK’S ‘DARK KNIGHT RISES’ POSTER For Mondo Is Stupid Sexy.
Goddamn Mondo and their gorgeous posters. Jock has dropped a Dark Knight Rises one for them, and it’s the truth. Baked in glory.
‘MASS EFFECT: PARAGON LOST’ TRAILER: Here’s Hoping ME3’s Prequel Is Better Than its Ending
Wasn’t really aware of the fact that there was a Mass Effect 3 prequel anime slithering down the pipe, but it seems pretty rocking. The writer of Clone Wars and the studio behind Ghost in the Shell? Hell yeah. Could do without the jab at unprepared soldiers being “ladies” in the trailer, since, you know, my Shepard is all double-x chromosome, but hey man. I’ll still take it.
WEEKEND OPEN BAR: Your Character!
[WEEKEND OPEN BAR: The one-stop ramble-about-anything weekend post at OL. Comment on the topic at hand. Tell us how drunk you are. Describe a comic you bought. This is your chance to bring the party.]
Welcome to the open bar! Pull up a chair, pop open a brew, and join the conversation! I’ll get things started.
With which fictional character do you most closely identify?
Russian Parliament Approves WEB CENSORSHIP LAW. Putin Cackles.
One of the neatest things last year, in a really horrifying and troubling way, is how Putin pretty much stole an election last year and all of us assholes over here were like “Oh, Dancing With The Stars? Awesome!” and paid no attention. Hey man, we got priorities. Wonder how much this will register on our collective radar.
Press Start: to continue
Dear friends. It is with a heavy heart that I write this, my first guest spot on Press Start! Many of you will remember our beloved Caffeine Powered as the articulate, junk grabbing slop enthusiast that regaled us with tales from the very frontiers of video game development and culture. I want you to hold on to that memory as tightly as you can. The last time I saw him – barely covering his modesty with tattered rags, excitedly drawing my attention to his bedroom walls: hosting his life’s work rendered in fecal matter – he told me that I needed to resurrect this information behemoth. I willingly accepted. And promptly left the premises.
