Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation

Sick of all the marketing for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World yet? No? Well, I am, and I actually like the comics. Anyway, here’s a cool little animated short that Adult Swim did based on a River City Ransom-inspired flashback scene from Vol. 2. The actors from the movie all voice their respective characters. One [...]

DC Universe Online Trailer

Never mind that Marvel Super Hero Squad stuff… now this is a comic book-based MMO I want to play! Of course, there’s obviously no way that the gameplay for an online game will look anywhere near as good as this epic six-minute cinematic. But if they can at least capture the general feel of this, [...]

Hot Wheels Invisible Jet

So apparently this is a real Comic-Con exclusive that was being given out in San Diego this year. It clearly had to have been inspired by the fake Star Wars “The Force” action figure that’s was floating around online a while back. (Still not as cool as Rocky’s Meat, I’m afraid.)

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
07.12.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Alicia brought this video to my attention recently and it really got me thinking. Motivation and work satisfaction are a big deal, particularly in creative industries, and most people assume that money is the most important factor. This provides some evidence to the contrary. The unfortunate thing is that there aren’t many companies with the [...]

Douglas Coupland’s Rootsx Clothing Line
07.07.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Canadian clothing company Roots recently teamed up with Canadian writer and artist Douglas Coupland to create a new fashion line that just screams out “Oh Canada!”… the only problem is that it’s pretty damn hard to make Canadiana look cool. He went with a telecommunications theme, the idea being that technology connects us since we [...]

Marvel Super Hero Squad Online Trailer

I know a lot of people have been waiting a long time for an official Marvel MMO, but somehow I doubt this is what they had in mind. This week Gazillion Entertainment officially announced Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, an MMO based on Marvel’s line of cute and cartoony two-inch figures. As you might expect, [...]

Axe Cop

By now, you may have heard about Axe Cop, the web comic written by a 6-year-old kid and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother. But have you seen the motion comic? Like a lot of things that go viral on the web, it may seem a bit gimmicky, but there’s also something so charming and refreshing [...]

Fighting Fantasy: Deathtrap Dungeon for iPhone
05.07.10 | Permalink | 4 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post over on Film Junk about a movie in development based on one of the Fighting Fantasy books from the mid-’80s. I was a big fan of these books when I was younger, as they combined Choose Your Own Adventure-style branching stories with role-playing elements… a brilliant [...]
