Real Ghostbusters use Snow Leopard

Look at this awesome image that some nerds made! Hurray nerds for making this wonderful thing with all your spare time!

Asian I don't understand make Star Wars better


Asians who make food say "fuhka you!" to George Lucas by having Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, C3P0 and others shilling what appears to be mashed up fish insides. I'll take 20 cans of fish mush please!

This Superbowl ad was a winner


Yes, I too like Google's Superbowl ad, which basically failed to depict the search engine's main function of detecting porn. Getting us all teary-eyed over your little internet developed love story is fine and dandy, but nothing beats the yellow people of Springfield.

Sorry Google overlords, I'll never question you again! Don't delete my blog which you technically own!

Cellar-Fcp draws ladies attractively

I love these pieces by a Hong Kong based artist known as Cellar-Fcp. More pretty ladies here (some of them are naked, so if you're at work, make sure your boss is totally into naked ladies).

New Superbowl logo is better than actual Superbowl

Okay, so I'm pretty sure everyone who actually LIKES football would disagree with me, but yeah, I'm totally more excited about this logo than the actual game. The type here just looks SO powerful. Big, bold and in your face! JUST LIKE FOOTBALL & BEER! SPORTS! Perfect for a game involving large, muscular men, tackling each other on a grass field.

Anyways, yeah, I also like how the logo is flat, but still achieves dimensionally. The shadow underneath is a bit awkward, but I don't mind it enough to really care.

PS: Me and Robin are totally cheering for the Saints. GO SAINTS! You suck other team that is playing!

Poor little guy

Lost is awesome. Shut up Anna Hurley.

I just pulled this from an email exchange I had with Jordan & Anna. Anna hates Lost, but she's totally wrong, so her opinion doesn't matter (jk Anna. jk. Sort of). Anyhow, here's what I had to say
I'm really excited about it too! I think it's off to a great start. I imagine the end of the season being the 2 parallel universes somehow meeting and everyone having ot make somekind of choice between the 2. I also like that there's now an apparent ultimate villain (Man in black/Fake Locke/Smoke Monster). A lot of stuff was explained last night, but there are some new questions...

Jordan, I made this connection this morning... Remember the conversation between the Man in Black and Jacob and there was a ship arriving to the island in the distance? I'm PRETTY sure that's the arrival of the Black Rock (the ship on the island with all the dynamite). I think that's how the Others first came to be on the island (hundreds of years ago)... Also remember how the Man in Black mentions how he remembered Richard in chains? I'm guessing the Black Rock ship was some kind of slave vessel or a ship housing convicts...

AWESOME.
Later, Jordan sent me his friend Malachi's thoughts. They are better written than mine and I totally agree with them.
I really liked the premier and the direction the final season seems to be going in. I love the fantasy or mythology based mystery (as opposed to crime mystery) a lot, and so I find Lost to be one of the most fun shows to watch when it's firing on all cylinders, as it has been. I've heard that the alternate timeline will merge with the "correct" timeline about mid-season. It feels like the whole season is going to be basically a showdown between Jacob and the man in black (Esau?) and we'll learn a little more about the nature of the island and the forces of Jacob and Not-Locke (who, by the way, gave the creepiest face EVER during the premier. You probably know the one I'm talking about) I realized the other day that I don't much care if they don't explain much more of the mysteries. They've answered a lot more questions than I realized when looking at some of the series-long plot synopsis. I think there is still a good chance that the finale will feel sort of like a let down, but I think the last season as a whole will probably be the strongest.
Counting the moments till next Tuesday.

Don't remind me!

There's a website that exist merely to show this single graphic. Let us mourn for the passing of the last decent talk show on television. On the bright side, Lost is totally on tonight. Nothing else matters.

Good grief Darth. Blockhead.

This should fill the cute and Star Wars related quota for today. The head of Charlie Brown sprouting wings of a Tie Figther. Creepily adorable.

Hold onto your butts, Lost premiere tonight

The sixth and final season of Lost is set to premiere this evening. What better way to celebrate that gawking at these awesomely designed Lost posters by Ty Mattson? He's so good that he's won AWARDS. I bow to his design greatness.

UPDATE: Who says nothing ever good comes out of Orange County? Mattson Creative is totally based out of Irvine! He even did work for my previous hipster infested hangout, The Lab. Holla!
