Things I learned from watching this video:
1. South African band Goldfish hate smooth jazz and cats.
2. This is how you do a referential video.
3. Slow-motion, pixellated 3D explosions are awesome.

My previous assertions that I was done posting about Portal 2, like the cake, was a lie.

Remember how great Lost was, especially around seasons 2 and 3? Before they got off the island and started time-travelling and it turned out to be all about some cosmic chess game between two moral abstractions made flesh and an underground, colour-changing light fountain? Remember when crazy shit would happen and you’d be all, whoa, what the hey?! Like when Ben managed to make Locke’s Dad appear from a magic box, or Desmond shut off the fail-safe and the sky turned purple, or Locke found the glow-in-the-dark map of the island painted on the inside of the hatch door?

1MAAAAAAAAAAAALT! Liquor. I wish this was a real thing.
2Michael B. Myers Jr. (a.k.a. DrawsGood)’s Lost: The Animated Series is something else I wish was real. I’m partial to this anthropomorphised Smoke Monster, which - let’s be honest - has a heck of a lot more personality than the vague-outlined black cloud that appeared on the show.
3I love custom toys, and Wade Schin has outdone himself with these. I wish they were mine. So much cooler than the (admittedly incredibly-sculpted) McFarlane Toys action figures of Locke and Hurley.
4From top-left to bottom-right: Sun and Jin; Charlie and a Mary statue full of heroin; Locke and The Hatch; Shannon and Vincent; Hurley and Dharma Ranch Dressing; Gun-Totin’ Sawyer and Polar Bear; Locke, Sawyer and Locke’s Dad; Ethan and Pregnant Claire; Crazy Beardy Michael, Ana Lucia and Libby; Danielle and Baby; Jack and Undead Christian; Daniel Faraday, Richard Alpert and Jughead The Bomb.
5From top-left to bottom-right: Chopper Pilot Lapidus and Ajira Flight 316 Pilot Lapidus; Kate and Juliet; Walt and The Others; Keamy, Alex and Ben; Dr. Marvin Candle\Mark Wickmund\Edgar Halliwax\Pierre Chang and Dharma Camera; Desmond and Hatch Computer; Mr. Eko and Smokey; Ben and Sleepy Widmore; Sayid and Young Ben; Hurley, Miles and the Dharma Van vs. 1970s Dharma Initiative; Bakunin and Sonic Fence; Boone and Drug-Runner’s Plane.
6These are just awesome. Tons of detail in each card. Click on the image to peruse a larger version, or here for the full-sized (3925x6000px) original.

Marvel\DC Superhero Movies, 2011-2013
Fairly self-explanatory, I think, and although it doesn’t include the likes of X-Men: First Class (due out June 3rd, 2011), The Avengers (May 4th, 2012) or The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3rd, 2012), this series does a pretty classy job of summing up the major upcoming tentpole blockbusters due out from both Marvel and Warners. Gonna go see Thor on Sunday!
