| Fan Prints Out All ‘Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’ In-Game Books, Creates One Incredible Volume Posted: 29 Sep 2011 04:04 PM PDT  This has to be one of the coolest things I've seen made from a fictional video game world, and someone needs to make this bad boy into a reality for the rest of us video game uber–nerds. Reddit user notadoctoreither took every single book you can read on your lengthy journey through The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, printed them all out, and compiled them into one massive tome of Elder Scrolls lore. And the result is exquisite. The book is perfect in every way—in look, in font, and in overall presentation. It's something that every fan of the games would kill to own, and for that very reason, I'm both depressed at my inability to be so crafty and jealous of this man's talents! You can see some images of the book by clicking on over to the other side now! [...]  |

| Must See: 24 Paintings Of Celebrities As Russian Generals Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:58 PM PDT  At one time or another, you've probably seen one of the paintings that various people in a position of power have had commissioned of themselves. One particularly notable portrait out there is that of the Russian general, which someone has taken to an extremely entertaining new level. George Dawe, an English portrait artist who has painted 329 portraits of Russian generals, uses a digital copy of his work as a basis to add his friends, family, and some celebrities into the paintings using Photoshop. So far he's done a bunch of celebrities, and most of them look amazing. If we didn't know who these people were, you wouldn't think twice about whether most of them were a legit Russian general or not. Some look a little off such as Sean Connery, for example, who looks as though he's just passed gas in a room full of people, and is pleased that none of them can figure out who it was. Continue on below now to check out the pictures, and to the source link for even more. [...]  |

| Watch ‘Star Trek’ Star Zachary Quinto Play Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:15 AM PDT  Way back in November 2008, the CBS comedy Big Bang Theory had an episode called The Lizard-Spock Expansion where the characters played a game of their own creation called Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock, a variation on the classic game. In a recent video interview to promote his upcoming film Margin Call, Zachary Quinto, who played the young Spock in the new 2009 Star Trek movie, was asked by the interviewer to play the game. Quinto apparently had never heard of it, but played it anyway. Check out the humorous video here below [...]  |
| Ever Wondered What The Heavy Metal Version Of ‘Shadow Of The Colossus’ Would Sound Like? Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:19 AM PDT  If you call yourself a "gamer" and have never played Shadow of the Colossus, it's time to get on that immediately. And as luck would have it, Sony Computer Entertainment has just released a special new remastered high definition collection of the game paired with another beloved title, Ico (which you can pick up here). If you happen to be into metal AND games, well, then do I have a treat for you. YouTube user ferdk16 has put together a medley video of himself rocking out some of the music of Shadow of the Colossus on an electric guitar...and it's pretty gosh darn epic.

| Check Out This Zombie Map of the World Posted: 29 Sep 2011 07:56 AM PDT  More zombie fun facts! A new Google map shows where zombie lovers, like me, are doing our keyword searches for the word 'zombies' (see above). It seems most of us who doing these searches are English-speaking city-dwellers, not, as I would have thought based on The Serpent and the Rainbow, in Haiti where such things as zombies possibly do exist. Maybe they just call it something else there? Apparently, 'zombie' is an Anglicized word. I don't know. But I do know that anything zombie related is a-okay in my book [...]  |
