I've been playing a ton of Portal 2 lately. I'm nearly finished the single-player campaign and then I'll try tackling the multiplayer, but I have to say - there's so much pure awesomesauce crammed into the single-player story-line that I wish it would never end. Almost anything I say about Portal 2 would be a spoiler, so instead I'll just throw out a bunch of phrases, out-of-context, to express my enthusiasm: Wheatley! Reboot! Cave Johnson! Gel! Potato battery! 1982!

One thing I am able to confidently ruin for everybody is that The National's song recorded for Portal 2, Exile Vilify, is fantastic, and is worked into the game in a fairly non-essential (in that if you miss it, you aren't overlooking anything critical to the game itself) but well-implemented manner. Or you can just stream it below.

Scott Pilgrim Extravaganza of Doom!


"Scott Pilgrim" by jjar01

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World had its flaws, and I'll be the first to admit that, but it was still one of my favourite movies of 2010 and I think that it deserves a lot more love than it got. Sure, Michael Cera - as Hollywood's go-to awkward teenage white boy nerd - was miscast (overcast?) as Scott, but on the whole it really felt like a genuine labour-of-love adaptation of a cult comic book rather than a studio attempt to cash in.

So to that end, here's some Scott Pilgrim-related artwork and miscellany.
