World's LARGEST NERF GUN!!

Your standard Nerf gun is pretty great if you're pretending hunting small dogs or small people but what if you need to Nerf an elephant? For that you need a Nerf gun the size of a Vespa. But where do you find a gun that big? Well it just so happens some guys on Youtube made one. I guess you could steal if from them. Just watch out, they have a huge Nerf gun.

2016 SDCC Cosplay: Cosplay Beyond

Day two of Comic-Con cosplay picture time! I read that it was hot as ball in San Diego last weekend so keep that in mind every time you see a cosplayer in a full armor get up. Walking around in all that foam and plastic would be a great way to make weight if you had a UFC fight later that weekend. Although the overlap of Comic-Con goers and UFC fighters probably isn't that high.

I guess my point is this weekend was really perfect conditions for ladies (or dude) in booty shorts. You might even say we saw THE SEXIEST HOTTEST COSPLAY EVER this weekend. Yes, If you're looking at this google image search I would definitely say we saw THE SEXIEST SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON COSPLAYERS EVER. Boobs.

Again, these are just pictures I found on tumblr, reddit and twitter. If you own any of these or are in any of these and you want credit or links just hit me up and I'll be happy to add them.


Put Kylo in some lifts and this would be perfect.


Harley Quinn is the new Slave Leia. These costumes will be everywhere this year.


Hail Hydra!

The tag said this was Mera but it looks like a rule 63 Aquaman to me.


I actually this this might have been a statue. Oh well too late to remove it!


This is one of the most impressive bat suits I've ever seen at a con.


How easy is it to get off that much body paint? Are you stuck like this for days?

Is that a Vinyl Spider-Man costume? I didn't think they made those anymore.

Great Batgirl Cosplay just reminds me that we'll probably never see a great Batgirl Movie


You think when he's at the gym he tells people he's working on his cosplay?


Hello Nurse.


I'm still convinced this is actually Wesley Snipes.

Dude put on a suit, bought a glove and he has the most impressive cosplay of the group. Well done.

Disney Rolls Out The Red Carpet For Little Kylo

Apparently if you go to Disneyland dressed as Kylo Ren the First Order Stormtroopers really pull out all the stops for you. I have got to get down there. I don't care if it's like $200 a day now. Think of all the hits you youtube!

2016 SDCC Cosplay: The Cosplay Awakens

Hey kiddos, you know what time of year it is? It's Comic-Con cosplay picture time! Also known as the time of year when Kevin pads his site visit numbers for the entire year. It's not a huge surprise that my most popular post for the month is still a cosplay gallery from the 2011 SDCC. People (ie bots) love those cosplay posts. I have at least two of these posts lined up for the week, I might even make it three this year.

Just to make sure we cast as wide of a google image search net as we can I'll throw in a couple adjectives, I've found that stupid adjectives really help with the google searches. Sexy, Hot, unbelievable, geeky, hilarious, funny... umm I already said "hot" right? How about Sexy-Hot? How does that sound google image search? Sexy-Hot is just how you like it, right? Oh yeah... boobs.

As expected this year's SDCC had a lot of cool an imaginative cosplay. Here's some of my favorites, or at least some of my favorites that didn't have watermarks on them. If you own any of these or are in any of these and you want credit or links just hit me up and I'll add them.


I expect we're going to see a lot of Suicide Squad cosplay from here on out.


This is even better than that Mad Max Trump I saw everywhere last year.


That's because nobody cares Waldo. Nobody cares...


Sexy Chewbacca? Sure, why not?


There was a lot of Overwatch Cosplay this year. This reinhardt was my fav.


Genius! The kids are cute and they can't use their arms. Perfect Cosplay!


Sweet Fancy Moses, those wings!


Are we sure this is cosplay and not the real GRRM?


It's sad when you realize she dies at the end of the con (JUST KIDDING!)


Is that Enternity the abstract, virtually omnipotent entity representing all time and reality in the background?


Not Technically cosplay but amazing none the less.

Deadpool vs Comic-Con 2016

D-Piddy is a pretty well known cosplayer, he goes to a lot of conventions dressed as Deadpool and acts really silly. Everyone has a good time. Here's 5 minutes of him at this years SDCC. I like the part where he grabbed that one dudes butt. It's funny because butts are funny.

Also, holy crap. Was that actually Wesley Snipes?

Brie Larson Is Your Captain Marvel

I've already mentioned that I feel like DC clobbered Marvel when it came to big movie announcements at SDCC but one of the big splashes Marvel made was announcing that Academy Award winner Brie Larson is going to play Captain Marvel on the big screen. It's a big announcement for two reasons: First off this will be the first Marvel movie solely focus on a female hero. Secondly, grabbing an academy award winning actress for any Marvel role is a pretty good grab.

It's pretty ridiculous that it's taken 8 years and about about a dozen movies for Marvel to get to this point but I guess it's better late then never? Marvel has been pushing a more diverse comics universe for the last 5 or 6 years, it's nice that effort is finally showing up on the big screen with Captain Marvel and Black Panther. Can't wait for all the hot takes from Fox News when these two movies hit the box office.

Ash vs Evil Dead: Season 2 Trailer

I think I already freely admitted to pirating all of the first season of Ash vs Evil Dead. I know it's a terrible thing to do but... well, I really don't have any defense here.

So, season 2 looks fantastic! I mean using a chainsaw to tap a keg seems like a terrible idea but hey, it's a party. At least until the deadites arrive and everyone is covered in blood. Then it's just like a different kind of party. One where you probably wish you had back all that beer you spilled everywhere with your chainsaw hand.

Doctor Strange Official Trailer 2

Oh yeah, Marvel premiered a new Doctor Strange Trailer at SDCC this weekend. It's fine. I don't know, I'm still not on board with another Origin story. Audiences are superhero smart these days. Do your origin in like the first 5 minutes then lets get to the sequel already.

Also all the white people mixed with Asian themes still seems really racist to me. I know the same could be said about Iron Fist but I like Iron Fist better than Doctor Strange so I'm more willing to let it slide over there. I'm consistent with my inconsistency.

Uninhabitable Links

Tara Strong Rocks The Harley Quinn Cosplay At SDCC. This is noteworthy due to the fact that Tara Strong is the voice of Harley Quinn in the Batman: Arkham video games. She also does voices for Teen Titans Go and My Little Pony. It's also noteworthy because she is not unattractive.

More Cosplay for SDCC to come later this week!

Official: Yahoo snapped up by Verizon in $4.8 billion deal. Yikes, it wasn't long ago that Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo for like $43 billion and that's down from the nearly $110 Billion it was worth back in 1999. Outside of my parents and my wife's parents and probably your parents, I don't know anyone that uses Yahoo regularly. Wall street sees this as a win for Verizon because they've been able to acquire a bunch of content for not very much (It should be noted that Yahoo paid just over a billion dollars for Tumblr alone two years ago). I sort of see this as a loss for the internet as a whole. It's just another case of an internet provider becoming heavily invested in the content business, which is a blow to net neutrality.

Rio Olympics Athletes' Village Declared "Uninhabitable". These beds are too small! Also the toilets don't work, the power lines are all exposed and the whole place smells like gas. Other than that everything is just fine in Rio!

The Astounding Herrera's magic tricks in S03E15 of King of the Hill ("Sleight of Hank") are animated realistically. The people behind King of the Hill really di put a painstakingly impressive amount of detail in to the Magic tricks performed in the Sleight of Hank episode. Man, King of the Hill was just the best show. I have a couple seasons on DVD. I really should go back and watch those more.

Warner Bros Drinks Marvel's Milkshake

Marvel was having a pretty good San Diego Comic-Con, with showy trailers for all their netflix shows plus some casting news for Agents of Shield, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Captain Marvel. DC and Warner Bros took their "pretty good" gave it a wedgie and stuffed it in a locker with trailers for Justice League, Wonder Woman, The Lego Batman Movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, King Arthur: Legends of the Sword, and if that wasn't enough a new Suicide Squad Trailer.

As much as I would like to pad my post count for the week here's all of them. Nice to Warner Bros just post these to Youtube after they showed them at SDCC. Pretty much the best way to battle piracy is to just give it away. They've generated a ton of buzz and I kinda doubt the 6,000 or so at Hall H that got to see these first feel cheated in anyway.

Nothing about the reviews or previews or word of mouth made me want to see Superman v Batman so I still haven't seen it. A friend is letting me borrow the DVD later this week so I'll probably get to it next weekend. HOWEVER, Justice League and Wonder Woman both look awesome. I'm all on board the DC hype train. Hopefully Zack Snyder doesn't throw me off it again with more talk about Batman getting raped in prison.

First Look at New Marvel Netflix Shows

Sweet Christmas, Netflix and Marvel really brought the heat when it came to SDCC first looks. We get the first trailer for Luke Cage and Iron Fist and a super bonus teaser for The Defenders. The Luke Cage trailer in particular is perfect. If the entire series is 10 episodes of Luke Cage wrecking low level thugs set to Wu-Tang tracks I'm totally fine with that.

The Iron Fist trailer doesn't provide as much action but at least gives you a sense of core of the character. Homeless Karate Man. In the comics Danny Rand is also quite rich so we'll see if that plays into the show or not. It probably would have been cooler watching him blow the door off that warehouse if I hadn't just watched Luke Cage do the exact same thing AND beat up guys with a car door.

I think I might be more excited for these TV shows than I am the next round of Marvel movies.

You Made a Hot Tub out of a DeLorean?

I had never heard of these guys at Super Fan Builds until this Hot Tub Time Machine DeLorean video started making the rounds on Reddit. It's pretty interesting. I could do without the goofy skits but the building stuff was pretty interesting. Maybe I could have these guys come over and fix my hot tub. I have a bad feeling that even if I got power to it, after sitting for 10 years unused it probably wouldn't work very well. If only I could go back in time and run power to it right when we bought the house...

FAN-O-RAMA is FAN-O-CREEPY

Here's a trailer for a Futurama fan film called Fan-O-Rama. It's equal parts impressive and disturbing. It's obvious the people putting it together are pretty talented with make-up and special effects but that transition from Cartoon to real life is a rough one. Leela does not look right, no one looks right. I mean if they post the finished project up on youtube or vimeo I guess I'll watch a couple minutes but I might have to get a bit drunk first.

Visual Links

Twitter Permanently Suspends Conservative Writer Milo Yiannopoulos. Man, that guy has a punchable face doesn't he? So the long story short here is that this guy encouraged his followers to tell current SNL actress and Ghostbuster Leslie Jones just how terrible she is. I don't follow either of these two on twitter but a few people I do retweeted some of the stuff that was sent to Leslie Jones and woof, it was horrible. Like Croatian soccer fans throwing bananas at black players horrible. Of course now this Milo guy and his group of asshats is claiming censorship and that the liberal media is intolerant to conservative ideas and blah blah blah.

Worse than his actions are some of the people defending him. I mean his actions are terrible but I get that he's just a hack trying to get attention. There are people out there that legitimately believe it's their god given right to call someone a cunt on the internet. I do not get that.

Rob Liefeld Is Hiding ‘X-Force’ Sketches All Over San Diego Comic-Con. This is a pretty cool little contest from a big name that totally doesn't need to do this. Rob Liefeld gets a lot of crap because he can't draw feet and a lot of his comics just disappear after issue #2 or 3 but he seems like a decent guy. I really wish he'd make his way up to Emerald City Comicon sometime but I think he has a beef with the group that puts it on.

One of these days I'm making my way to SDCC. It looks like a huge expensive pain in the ass and I get that all the cool comics stuff gets totally ignored but still. It's like complaining that the World Cup Final is rarely a good game, you still want to go just to experience it, right?

Cool visual effects in 16bit console games. I love how much Nintendo and to a slightly lesser degree Sega, were able to squeeze out of their 16 bit systems. It's a sort of creativity you don't see (or at least aren't able to recognize) with the current generation of consoles.

"We Were The Best, Richard" 10 Great Moments From Grant Morrison's Batman. I have a lot of Grant Morrison's Batman run and I found a lot of it to be hard to read. He has this habit of just dropping you off in the middle of the action and I'm the kind of reader that can barely remember what happened in the last issue so I was always going back an issue to see if there was something I missed. I'm guessing his run reads a lot better as a trade, or at least it would for me. I should really go back and reread some of those.

Why Wizards Why?

Milania Should Plead the Vanilla Ice Defense

Just a quick reminder that Vanilla Ice is a freaking National treasure. Dun dun dun dun dun dun duh.

Boy have I missed the Colbert Report

I didn't realize just how much I missed Stephen Colbert (of the Colbert Report as opposed to Stephen Colbert of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert) until he returned to TV last night to cover the Republican National Convention. I know the Daily Show with John Stewart was sort of the gold standard of late night political comedy but I'm sorry the Colbert Report was a better show. It was nice to see him back, even if it was only for a 10 minute segment.

I was kind of amazed at how badly the Comedy Central shows dropped the ball yesterday. I understand how their taping schedule works and I know it would have been a challenge to do any sort of new show at the RNC but come on. The Daily Show played a clip show that was really really poorly edited. The Nightly Show didn't even put that much effort into it, they just ran a rerun from last week. Both shows need to do something different and creative to gain back all the credibility they've lost over the last year. Just doing what Stewart and Colbert used to do but much worse isn't going to do anything for them.

Anyway, how about that Melania Trump? That was crazy huh?

10 Actors Who Hated Their Superhero Costume

TGIM, am I right? I believe that stands for, holy balls it's Monday and I feel like I've been run over by a truck, stuffed into a button up shirt, shoved out the door and then run over by a second truck. Also I'm a bit sunburned. I need to get more sleep, or stop playing Overwatch until 1 am. Any chance we could get a couple more hours added onto the day? I feel like I could be really productive with a 30 hour day.

Anyway, here's a list of stuff about superheroes. It's not bad. It's funny they mention Jennifer Lawrence prominently. I stand by my opinion that her becoming a huge movie star after they had already filmed X-Men: First Class was terrible for the franchise. It's bad enough they keep having Magneto flip from good guy to bad guy, but Mystique being the face of the Mutant resistance? Woof.

The Star Wars Rogue One Poster Is Great

I know I don't post a lot of movie posters around here but look at this thing. It's pretty fantastic. I hope we get a scene after the battle where the Storm Troopers have to get all the water out of their armor. Maybe a couple of them chilling in a cabana. Like that season of Saved by the Bell where Kelly was mysteriously gone and they all worked at the beach club. I guess what I'm saying is that Star Wars Beach Club is all I really want.

Krum & Rob Viktum - Suitcases and Passports

Krum (the rapper formerly known as Playdough) and Rob Viktum released a few album about a month ago called Bare Knuckle Gospel. It's pretty good and it's free if you sign up for some newsletter thing. You've got a spare gmail account sitting around right? Go get the album. Just Do it.

No Man’s Sky - EXPLORE Trailer

Anyone know where I can pick up a few more hours in the day? I realized yesterday I probably made a mistake buying Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U when I'm already knee deep in Overwatch AND No Man's Sky just went gold.

I am so ready for No Man's Sky to finally be released. I probably won't pick it up day one, I want to read at least one or two reviews before buying it but man alive, if this game sucks I'm going to be crushed. It looks so great. 30 years ago when I was playing SunDog on the Apple II I couldn't imagine an open world game this pretty.

Introducing The Nintendo Classic Mini

Hey 90s kids, put down your Pokemon Go for a second and check out this mini-Classic NES that Nintendo just announced. It's looks just like the original, except that it's all small and stuff. It comes pre-loaded with 30 NES classics like Zelda II (LOL), a retro controller that works with the Wii U and a nice modern HDMI output. All for about $60.

It's a terrible deal. Don't get me wrong, it's cute and all but my entire RetroPi build cost $30 and it plays hundreds of Nintento, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about playing retro games on retro systems, there's no emulator that perfectly captures that experience BUT this new NES is just that, an emulator. If you're going to get an emulator just buy a raspberry PI and really get your moneys worth.

Or don't. I mean if the fact that this thing is super cute is enough for you go ahead and buy one. I probably haven't used my RetroPi in about a year, sure playing old games is fun for a couple hours but the nostalgia dries up pretty fast. At least with one of these Classic Mini's you're not going to spend half a day setting it up.

I Can Make Phone Calls!

Sad Links

Breaking: All the Marvel Now (2106) leaks and no more X-men? A few years ago Marvel discovered they could sell more comics by constantly shuffling their line-up and rebooting everything once every two years. Personally I don't see it as a very sound long term strategy but I understand why they do it. Are you more likely to pick up issue #248 of Iron Man off the shelf or #1 of The Invincible Iron Man, or International Iron Man or whatever it is they're calling the main Iron Man book these days.

I think what's really taken people off guard here is that Marvel had its solicitations for October leaked and there's zero X-Men titles on it. Mutants haven't gone away completely (Deadpool still gets two books) but there's nothing here with X-Men on the cover. Considering how popular the X-Men were when I grew up that seems amazing. I don't get what Disney and Marvel are really trying to accomplish here? Do they think Fox is quaking in their boots because Marvel won't publish an X-Men book? Fox barely even knows comics exist. All the execs at Fox probably think that they publish the X-Men book because they own the movie rights. This is the weakest strong arm technique I've ever seen.

A Cosplayer Is Running For Political Office. This is kind of interesting I guess. Cara Nicole Trujillo, a cosplayer from Arizona, is officially running for the Arizona Legislature as a Green Party candidate. Personally I have zero problem voting for a cosplayer but even though she's running as a Green Party candidate she says she's "pro limited government". I think I'm old enough that I understand what that means. Tax cuts for the rich, like Tony Stark.

A Gallery of Retro Video Game Ads. Well there's an ad you couldn't get away with these days. Some of the ads in this gallery are really something. I guess back in the 90s and early 2000's, it was too much to expect for video game companies to hire actual qualified advertising agencies to give them a hand.

Canadians Are Creating Their Own ‘Sad Pokemon Go’ Since They’ve Been Left Out Of The Fun.Since Pokemon Go isn't available on Windows Phone I'm going to do the same thing. I'm just going to wander around outside with a stuffed Jigglypuff, throwing tennis balls at things.

Kendra Wilkinson - Lost in Space

I don't know what compels me to post awful music videos like this, but here we are, at Kendra Wilkinson's "tribute" to Lost in Space. First of all, how is Kendra Wilkinson still a thing, Secondly why not Holly she was way better looking. Also back to First of all, how is Kendra Wilkinson still a thing?

The Floppotron: Smells Like Nerd Spirit

I've seen music performed on disc drives before but I haven't seen anything quite like the Floppotron. 64 individual floppy drives, 8 hard drives and 2 flat bed scanners. It almost sounds like real music, not some horrific science experiment gone wrong begging to be killed.

BTW, I had a rad birthday. turning 40 is still complete garbage and should be against the law but I had a super cool birthday full of family and friends anda new Nintendo Wii U. More on that later... maybe much later. Work is insane right now. I've received over 130 e-mails just today and that's not counting how far I am behind for taking Thursday and Friday off. I probably shouldn't even be writing this right now, I'm just falling further and further behind.. Help me Mario Kart 8!!!!

P Stew's Cowboy Classics

Between this and that horrible MILF $ video I posted yesterday I'm pretty sure the internet is broken. Someone needs to check the tubes, I think they're clogged.

Fergie - M.I.L.F. $

Wow... this is just... wow. I can't even.

It's 2016 and Fergie is pouring milk all over her boobs, dancing with Kim Kardashian and completely ripping of Kelis's Milkshake song. At this point I think we kind of deserve Trump as president. Its one step closer to Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho and that can't be a bad thing right? I love drinking Brawndo, it's the thirst mutilator.

Fox Don't Care

This last weekend I finally saw X-Men: Apocalypse (thanks Martin!). It wasn't the worst movie in the world but it wasn't exactly what I would call "good". I thought the plot was actually pretty interesting but the dialogue was so ham fisted at times it almost felt like it was a parody of an action film. I don't think we'll ever know if Sophie Turner was outright bad in it or if she was just sabotaged by the schlockiest dialogue this side of a Star Wars Prequel.

One of the things that stood out the most to me while watching it is that outside of the 4 or 5 main stars Fox really doesn't care anything about the X-Men's supporting cast. Take Angel, a founding member of the X-Men known for his playboy disposition and heroic nature. In this he's a drunken pit fighter. Psylocke, long time X-Man and sister of Captain Britain, is hired muscle, a horseman of Apocalypse and one of like two characters that doesn't have a redemption story. Caliban, the Morlock who is so scared of his own shadow he actually makes a deal with Apocalypse so he can have actual powers that matter, is portrayed as some sort of underground power broker.
Those are the major details, the minor stuff like Havok being Cyclops's older brother instead of younger I can let slide. It's just weird that for like 6 films now Fox (and lets face it here it's mostly Bryan Singer) is happy to just shoehorn any X-Man into any role. Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man is a bad guy, sure why not? Mystique is the X-Men's leader and new trainer instead of assassin and adversary?

Also, Charles sure is forgiving of Magneto for killing all those people he kills in every movie.

I think this is one of the reason fans were so quick to embrace Deadpool. They actually made Colossus Russian. Who'd have thunk it?
Don't get me wrong, Deadpool was a hit because it was a good movie not because it was a slave to the source material. The thing is Deadpool showed you can do both. Hell, every Marvel Studios movie has shown you can do both. Sure they change a lot of the minor details around but in the end Iron Man and Captain America are Avengers, Vision was created by Ultron, Scott Lang is a reformed criminal, etc. These characters have been around for decades now. You can streamline their origins and backgrounds for a film while still keeping what makes them unique and interesting. Marvel's made a billion dollars doing it.

I'm not advocating Fox give up the movie rights to the X-Men (even though that would be great) but maybe it's time to give the franchise to someone other than Bryan Singer. X-Men and X-2 were great movies, he's done as much as he can do right about now. Time to get someone in their with a vision for a simpler less confusing X-Men universe that knows why these characters have been so popular for so long. Maybe see what that Deadpool guy is doing for the next 10 years.

Will a Walmart Huffy survive a Downhill Mountain Bike Trail?

Short answer nope. Not at all. I mean yes, technically the bike made it down the hill but after the breaks fail, the shocks start leaking oil and the handlebars are bent you probably won't be making a second run. Kudos to this dude for not dying.

LEGO Civil War: Ant-Man vs. Iron Man

When does Captain America: Civil War come out on Blu-Ray. I want to see that movie again but I think it's already out of theaters. Remember when movies would be in theaters for forever. I remember seeing Jurassic Park in the theater in the summer of 94, a full year after it was released. Now a days movies are out of the theater in like a month and they're at Redbox in two. I think I'm already out of luck if I want to see X-Men Apocalypse for my birthday. Which is in a week, ugh.

This birthday is hitting me hard. Not just because I turn 40 but because I haven't been very happy lately. I miss all my friends, I'm in a bunch of physical pain like all the time, my kids are growing up WAY too fast, work is for suckers... I'd like to do some big blow out thing but I have zero energy to put into it and at this point it's too late. At least this year I was smart enough that I took the day off of work, I think I worked on my birthday last year and it was balls. You should never have to work on your birthday, it should be law. Someone get Obama on that. That would be a fantastic legacy.

I ordered a new power supply for my computer (the el cheapo one I bought 6 months ago has a bearing out and it sounds like a small lawnmower is powering my pc), it's supposed to arrive the day before my birthday. Maybe I'll just spend my birthday working on my PC, that's kind of fun. Does Baskin & Robbins still give you a free cone on your birthday?

Oh yeah, here's some Lego video that's kinda cool looking. I really like the little cap they gave Lego Black Panther for his ears.
