So if you are a geek like me you may have heard of this site called Etsy.  So let me start the Etsy Thursday news post and showcase with what I would consider to be a cool purchase.  Today’s featured items from Etsy are the VinylWallDesigns. These designs are fun and easy to apply on your walls.  When your friends walk into your home or apartment, and you got one of these on your wall, you’ll gain instant geek cred.

Freddy vs Jason, King Kong vs Godzilla, The Donald vs Rosie. Some of the most recognizable names in history have also sparked some of the greatest rivalries of all time. The engineers at Apple and Microsoft are no different, going toe-to-toe many times over the past few decades. Apple creating their iPod line and Microsoft creating the Zune line. Now the two similar foes do battle in our arena; The Apple iPod touch 32GB vs. The Microsoft Zune HD 32GB. (more…)

The Christian religion always seems to want to be part of the “in-crowd.” They want to be known as cool and hip.  But, every time I see a product like this, it feels like your parents went to go with you to that teen party and pretend they are teens too. Before Mass: We Pray the video game, I thought Guitar Praise was fake.  But then I found out it’s real. Now, I don’t know what to think about this video game trailer above.

Now, I’m not bashing on the Christian or Catholic religions. But I just think religious traditions should stick to non-video game worships. You’re already on the radio and TV. Leave this medium alone, please.

This dog is now officially the coolest dog ever lived. I’d like to challenge any dog to try and play Tony Hawk’s Ride and top this dog’s score. If you’ve been living under an internet rock and don’t know who this dog is, go past the break to refresh your viral video memory.

We have all seen some really talented artists in various forms of media. It seems that there is a very large community over on Deviant Art. I find myself frequently visiting the site and just being blown away. I happen to stumble on Jeremy’s Art Gallery and boy was I amazed. A very interesting art style that really stands out. Also does some really bitchin Pokemon!!! Be sure to check out his Art Gallery. Here is a little Q&A session I had with Jeremy.

Artist of the Week: Jeremy M. Jack

Deviant Art

What’s been your inspiration for art?

As a child I was very inspired by Disney. Then came Don Bluth and he was like the ANTI-Disney. When i saw The Secret of Nihm I felt my whole life had changed… After which I saw the work of Norman Rockwell and art made a difference to me. Then came comics, and Jim Lee revolutionized the way I drew. Then Jae Lee blew my mind by proving comic art didn’t have to follow a specific “style”. Right now I am HUGELY inspired by greats like Matteo Scalera and Sean “Cheeks” Galloway. In fact I am taking Sean’s Schoolism course this semester and I can’t wait! As far as people close to me, I must give credit to my cousin Travis Story, who gave me the greatest tales to tell through my art. And my good friend Clayton Bodley, who gave me the best characters and a real drive to persue my art.

Welcome to Pandora, a wasteland planet full of hostile bandits, mercenaries, and alien wildlife. It is also home to a legendary wellspring of wealth and alien technology known only as “The Vault,” something that many people believe is a myth…and something many desire to find. This is the setting to 2K Games and Gearbox Software’s First-Person Role Playing Shooter, Borderlands. Having had the chance to play it at PAX 2009, albeit very briefly, I had a few vague ideas about what the gameplay would be like. First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen these days, but I was under the impression that Borderlands would be a whole different experience. And, I am glad to report, it didn’t disappoint. I spent a good 20+ hours taking on the main story and I enjoyed every minute of it. (more…)

I’m all for 8-bit art.  It gets me in a nostalgic way. But something like the video past the break just keeps my jaw dropped and my head cocked to the side. WTF indeed. To see this WTF video, go past the break. I didn’t want to embed it just so you have proper warning for the NSFW-ish parts. (more…)
