Is that like the guy in Alien Resurrection whose job is to press the button that floods the Xenomorph cell with liquid nitrogen or whatever?

will somebody please back me up here

Although it doesn't appear in the movie itself, the music in the first trailer for Watchmen is "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning;" a slow, sordid B-side version of a similarly-titled song that Smashing Pumpkins wrote for Batman & Robin. It remains the single most ingenious detail surrounding a Zack Snyder film ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3orQKBxiEg Also: I love that of all the music they could have gone with for the introduction of James Tiberius Kirk in Star Trek 2009, they went with "Sabotage."

Russia is now arresting not only their own citizens, but openly gay or gay-supportive tourists.

Just a quicky, but I like some of the brushwork.

Here's today's mini Nintendo Direct featuring 3DS and Wii U neat stuff:

Earthbound! Today!

I'm gonna' cheat and post a thing that I did back when Metroid turned 25, but it was easily the most well-recieved thing I ever put on DeviantArt. Also, an artist that I already really liked started following me! :0

I definitely wish I could redo it with this stuff in mind, but it was a learning experience. I might paint it again digitally. (it's been ages since I've painted and I mostly worked in acrylics when I did. Bluh)

Dave, can I assume that you also dislike Yoshi as much as I do? 'Cause that is one feral-lookin' Yoshi. Aproaching 500 now. I liked this a lot more as the lineart drawing, but it was good to get the painting practice in. At least I'll know a bit about what not to do next time...

So two things! 1) I figured that, since I'm drawing again, I might as well get with the 21st century and make a tumblr to show off my junk. You can find me at http://letsdrawvideo games.tumblr.com/ 2) here's some WIP lineart of a Metroid illustration I hope to have finished tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words! I've decided that I'd like to do each one as a pencil and ink drawing like this. I don't like this one as much, so I might redo it, but it's a good start.

Specifically what my friend meant was how honest and unabashed its love for its inspirations is. Like she was really glad that there was absolutely no winking at the camera going on.

Villagers will indeed destroy your flowers. The fence public works project is specifically in there to give you a space that you can plant flowers in without fear of them being built on. Sometimes I wish you could just, like, enact zoning laws or something to keep folks from wrecking your orchards and flowerbeds, though.

I originally intended to paint this instead of using pencils, so I wish I hadn't done it on watercolour paper. It's basically a sketch of something I want to do in acrylics on a 40"x60" canvas.

Oh man, so my friend went to see Pacific Rim and compared it to Speed Racer, which is the Citizen Kane of movies. I definitely have to see this now.

I'd hardly call Pan's Labyrinth a fluke; there's a ridiculous amount of calculation involved in terms of using things like set design or scene transitions to tell the story. For example: Hellboy 2 is full of the same kind of stuff; things that sound like they would be obvious when you hear them out loud but carry the story without saying a word. ...My only complaint about what I've seen of Del Toro's filmmaking is that he carried the baby metaphor stuff way too far. Fertility goddess statue in the opening! Cool! Tooth fairies very deliberately move under the wall in a fallopian tube pattern! Okay! Hellboy protects a baby! Alright! His gun is named the Big Baby! Enough already!

If I can be a butt and count comics, Picture Box started publishing a series they call "Ten Cent Manga," which is a set of classy hardcover collections of postwar Japanese pulp comics, which is the kind of thing that's right up my alley. Right now there's only two announced, Shigeru Sugiura's adaptation of Last of the Mohicans and Osamu Tezuka's The Mysterious Underground Men, so I definitely intend to check them out. There's been another Tezuka resurgence lately so there's actually a lot of his work coming out soon that I'd love to read. Twin Knight, Triton of the Sea, etc.

I still want to see it. If nothing else, I have a massive appreciation for Del Toro forgoing CG in favour of building the fucking robot.

You can still get it tomorrow. It switches on Sunday.

In case anyone was on the fence, here's the first two days of gameplay in Japanese with English commentary. Spoilers ahoy. I watched them, but it all looks SO GOOD that I'm not going to watch any more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=r4y5BjBIyWw http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UBe0zqkqmFI

If the haunted house one is any indication, the new games are way more complex than the original ones. Like more complex than some actual eshop games.

dude dude dude Herculesthekitten ...Or Heracles, if you're pedantic about these things like I am.

Now that these games are starting to garner interest amongst the Thumbs, I thought you might like Serebii's list of all known new Pokémon. Quick and dirty guide to known version-exclusives: X: Clauncher (Water), Swirlix (Fairy), Xerneas (Fairy) Y: Skrelp (Poison/Water), Spritzee (Fairy), Yveltal (Dark/Flying) Also worth noting: that cute little bird from a few pages back, which is almost assuredly available early on, evolves into a Fire type. I'm pretty pleased with this, since Fire is kind of notoriously lacking in recent generations. For example: in Gen IV, you either picked Chimchar as your starter or you caught Ponyta. Those were the only two available before beating the Elite Four.
