Portal 2 Poster

Okay, okay, I know I said I was done, but then I found this and I couldn’t resist.

Marvel\DC Superhero Movies, 2011-2013










by DrawsGood Illustration and Design


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!

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is easily one of my favorite shows of all time. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out.

Good News, Everybody!

I'm transitioning over to Tumblr, since it makes following and reblogging much, much easier, so be sure to head over there and check it out! (The Blogger edition of Apocalypse POW! will be put on hiatus for the foreseeable future.)

I WANT TO GO INTO SPACE.

Apparently, I was not finished posting Portal 2-related things. Here, have some more.

"Want You Gone" by Jonathan Coulton\GLaDOS5


Notes:
1 I have to admit, it took me a second before I realised how clever this was.
2 He sees you.
3 This really only makes sense once you've finished Portal 2.
4 This is currently my desktop wallpaper at work.
5 Kind of a spoiler, I guess... Though out of context, it's just a great song a la "Still Alive".

"Portal 2 Cubees" by Cubeecraft (full Valve series available here)

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.

I posted about Penney Designs' Lost adventure game a while back. I thought I'd posted these faux-2600 game cartridges of demade games as well, but I guess not!

Chomping At The Bit

I haven't posted any vinyl customs lately, but I'm really taken by Jared "NikeJerk" Cain's "Chomping At The Bit" series of Super Mario Bros.-themed toys. Makes me wish I had more money to spend on custom figures, in fact. Check out the link for more examples of his excellent work.
