I'd say this is priceless

My car didn't start this morning so I'm probably not going to be bloggin much today. Here's something from my tumblr, which you should really be checking out more.

Sidewalk Snorting Links

Periodic Table of Artist. I love this chart but I'd have moved Roy Lichtenstein from Gimicky to Hacks. Most Gimicky artists can still draw something without tracing.

Charlie Sheen Tour Bombs in Detroit. This is a good breakdown on just how awful the opening show was. Personally I don't know what people were expecting? You know he's not a real warlock, right?

Lindsay Lohan might be in Superman. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Free books on the Kindle. Something called the Magic Catalog provides some 30,000 public domain books available for free on the Kindle and to iBooks. It's cool and all, but how am I supposed to display all those books in my iDen?

ThunderCats Ho! The Governator No!

Lets start the day with a little good idea/bad idea. Above is the trailer for the new ThunderCats cartoon. It looks pretty sweet. I like the whole LOTR fantasy vibe it has going on, I just wish there was more Panthro in it. All in all I'm looking forward to DVRing this.

On the other side of the coin we have the trailer for the Stan Lee/Arnold Schwarzenegger hack fest, the Governator. I watched half the trailer and that was more than enough for me. Seriously, who other than Lee and Schwarzenegger thought this was a good idea? Donald Trump? Michael Bay? Hitler? My guess is it was probably Trump.

Green Lantern footage apologizes for the Green Lanter Trailer

So here's the big geek news from WonderCon this weekend, The Green Lantern Tailer that ran during the super bowl sucked. The producers knew it sucked so to apologize they've released 4 minutes of new footage that blows away the previous trailer.

Now I'll freely admit, my expectations for this movie were really really low, like House Party 3 low. But after watching this new footage my expectations have been officially upgraded to House Party 2.

Game of Thrones is killing me with awesomeness

There's a strong possibility that back in the day I might have downloaded an album or two without paying for it. For legal reasons It's hard for me to keep track of those kinds of small transactions. However I can say without a doubt that I have never illegally downloaded a movie or TV show. It's not like I haven't had the chance (remember the Wolverine bootleg?) but for whatever reason I've always drawn the line at cds. Maybe it's just a size thing, like if it's under 100 mbs it's free game. Or maybe I just thought the record companies owe me big time for years of overcharging. I mean say what you will about movie studios, but at least when I blow 10 bucks on something stupid like Avatar I still feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

Anyway, with all that being said, I have no problem admitting that I am going to torrent the crap out of Game of Thrones. My cable/Internet bill is already $150 a month, there's no chance in hell I'm spending another 20 a month for HBO. At this point the only way I can see avoiding the torrents is if HBO decides to do the classy thing and post the entire show on Youtube. Your move HBO.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm not sure how I missed this way back at last E3 but here's some cinematic footage from Star Wars: The Old Republic. It's pretty sweet looking. Of course it was way more awesome when I thought that the sith dude with the scars was supposed to be Darth Vader. I mean would it kill Lucas to let us have a video game that spans the time between Episode 3 and 4? If my memory works I think the old PC Game Tie Fighter was set during that time frame, but it's not like that game was big on story.

Anyway, back to The Old Republic. This is a MMORPG by Bioware (the creators of Knights of the Old Republic) which sounds cool. Of course this game has supposedly showed twice at E3 and still doesn't have a release date. But if you want you can already join a guild on their website! Nothing cooler than joining a guild for a game that's yet to ship.

Links for Friday, Friday

BrewreyMap.com Great news, there are 6 breweries within 5 miles of my work. Bad news, I still use Internet Explorer at work.

The 10 most promising TV Pilots for Fall. I don't think this screencap is from one of the actual shows, which is too bad. I'd totally watch a show about ladies flag football.

How to steal like an artist. Step one, never repay your student loans. Bazinga!

45 Impressive PC Case mods. Since I first heard about Diablo 3 I've been trolling the net looking at parts to put together a new gaming rig. According to this list I should be looking more in my garage than on newegg.
