We live in a culture of mash ups. It is inescapable. There are some winners and a whooole lot of losers.
I consider this a winner.
Someone has taken footage from The Avengers and created a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers style TV show opening for it. I will let you debate among yourselves about which Avenger is what color Ranger, but I hope we can all agree that Agent Coulson and Maria Hill are NO Bulk and Skull.
The guys at Epic Rap Battle are letting two giants in the world of invention a chance to verbally abuse each other. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla make their cases why they were the greater inventor, even though Edison is remembered more fondly and famously. You see, Edison promised Tesla a huge payment for his work and then gave him the shaft.
Yeah, go read about it. Edison was a huge dickbag.
Does Game of Thrones have too much death, tits and incest for your liking? Is your version of drama a good night of One Tree Hill? Then you will definitely want to take a look at School of Thrones, a new web series that has just started on YouTube.
The family warfare mixes with class cliques with very CW-like results. I got a bit of a kick out of it as all the characters were introduced. They were quite clever with matching up the personas well with high school life. Episode 1 is below and Episode 2 will be out on March 17th.
A little tits and incest wouldn’t hurt either.
Greyjoys!!
The modern geniuses at Bad Lip Reading are back and this time they are taking on last year’s reboot of The Amazing Spider-Man. Well, more specifically, all the intimate scenes between Andrew Garfield’s Peter and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy.
I’d like to slap you boo.
Why?
I hate your food.
Can we give these guys a medal for winning the internet?
It is finally time to see the last video in the Tomb Raider: The Final Hours series. Over the past six months the series has introduced us to the actors portraying the characters, the creation of the unique music, the first hands-on for the public at San Diego Comic-Con and last time, the immense strain that the developers felt as they tried to finish final bug testing on their way to release.
This final video has host Zachary Levi interviewing the department heads on this final run until the game gets into the hands of gamers. Crystal Dynamics has done a great job with the lead up to the game and its time is almost here.

Naughty Dog has started to release developer videos leading up to the June release of The Last of Us.
The first is titled “Hush” and focuses on the development process that went into creating the infected citizens. Not wanting to make them simply zombies, they took their inspiration from the fungal plants they saw on the BBC documentary Planet Earth and wondered what would happen if the fungus spread to humans.
Naughty Dog has something special looking on their hands as many have seen since E3 a few years ago.

Crystal Dynamics is back with a new episode of Tomb Raider: Guide to Survival which focuses on Lara’s ability to find new weapons and upgrade them through scavenging for spare parts to add to your guns and bows. As we get closer and closer to the game’s release the true depth of Tomb Raider is being shown.

Welcome, once again, to the weird and wonderful world of William Shatner. Today “The Shat” gives his opinion about J.J. Abrams taking over the Star Wars franchise. He calls Abrams “a pig” and says the director has “gone too far” for trying to take on both of the biggest sci-fi franchises ever. The great thing about Shatner is that he knows how to carefully walk the line of funny as hell and sarcastic asshole. You can never tell which side he is really on and that’s what makes him “The Shat”.
Check out the interview snippet here and see if you can tell the difference.
Machinima is on a roll lately. Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn hit all the right notes before the game released last November, then they were the first to roll out the lost Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome pilot which was broken up into multiple mini-sodes and now….now here is the Far Cry Experience.
Based on [amazon_link id=”B0050SYV70″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Far Cry 3[/amazon_link] (the review is coming I promise), the series stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse as himself. He and a cameraman head out onto a tropical island where they encounter Vaas and his merry band of pirates. Needless to say that things do not go so well for everyone involved.
If the man playing Vaas seems to be perfect for the role it is because that is Michael Mando, the actor that brought Vaas to life in the game as well. Does it disturb your soul to know that there is a real Vaas out there? His performance is just as great as Far Cry 3 and is watchable over and over again much like Heath Ledger’s Joker.
The video below is all the episodes that have been released combined into one video. A bit of warning: if you have played Far Cry 3 then you know what to expect, but those watching that have not should be warned there is excessive violence and language as well as some cannibalism (but I laughed, should I be worried?). Enjoy!

January means two things: it is a new year full of broken resolutions and Archer is back! Season 4 of the FX show is set to premiere on January 17th and today we got a look at a new poster. To go along with this there are a set of character interviews below that have each character describing what would be their perfect day. Two things I took from these: I am now oddly interested as to what “dunch” is and how come Krieger didn’t get a video?
