This is a picture by Kim Herbst from an art show hosted by the Autumn Society of Philadelphia that took place back in August (OOOOOLD!). The video game inspired show was entitled, "8-Bit And Beyond" and the piece itself is unofficially called, "We're Gonnna Need A Bigger Rutsack...". Per the artist:
That poor 'lil guy has to lug around so much stuff through Hyrule after you collect everything. Usually I work in brush 'n ink and scan the artwork in to color it digitally, however, due to time contraints, this entire piece will be made in Photoshop. The final product will be printed as a signed limited edition on acid-free archival paper and mounted on board at 13" x 19.
Good job. Unfortunately, the show is long over. So yeah, we missed it. But on the up side, we're all in the same …
Photoshop: How To Turn Yourself Into A Na'vi
Retrieved 236 Days Ago
This is a picture of Peter Ammentorp as a Na'vi. He made the transformation using Photoshop (I still prefer makeup). As you can see, he did a pretty good job. Don't get me wrong, I'd still bow and arrow the shit out of him and then try syncing with his dead body, but....I can't believe I just typed that. But you read it. You're the real sicko here.
Hit the jump for a video of the Na'vi-ing in action.
20 Life Lessons Learned From The New Mario
Retrieved 236 Days Ago
Paste Magazine writer Kate Keifer went and compiled a list of 20 life lessons she learned from playing the New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Most are things I learned in grade school, but there were some gems in there (no there wasn't, don't expect any). 1. Never trust a flying turtle.
2. Make it a habit to bang your head against brick walls. Sometimes money comes out.
3. When choosing between shooting fireballs and iceballs, consider the climate.
4. Reincarnation is real.
5. You can walk on clouds.
6. Water, too.
7. If you have spare time, jump around aimlessly until free stuff starts appearing.
8. Money grows on trees.
9. Why not just wear the same outfit every day?
10. Throw animals whenever you can.
11. Unless they're big enough for you to ride on them.
12. Climbing inside …
What Could Pooooossibly Go Wrong: Mad Scientist To Create Robotic Frankenstein
Retrieved 236 Days Ago
The man on the left is Professor Henry Markram. Based on this picture alone he's clearly a mad scientist. Don't believe me? Read this captain crazy shit: Professor Henry Markram, a doctor-turned-computer engineer, announced that his team would create the world's first artificial conscious and intelligent mind by 2018.
And that is exactly what he is doing.
On the shore of Lake Geneva, this brilliant, eccentric scientist is building an artificial mind. A Swiss - it could only be Swiss - precision- engineered mind, made of silicon, gold and copper.
The end result will be a creature, if we can call it that, which its maker believes within a decade may be able to think, feel and even fall in love.
Now I'm not saying somebody needs to blow up Markram's lab and rescue the beautiful …
Sacrilege!: A Super Mario Jesus Flipbook
Retrieved 236 Days Ago
Youtube user TotemX went and made a flipbook starring Super Mario Jesus. Basically SMJ jumps off the cross and proceeds to stomp the hell(!) out of some goombas, tear Bowser in half, and then punt the princess like a football. Which....I'm not entirely sure is what the real SMJWD. Is it, SMJ? What do you say we down some shrooms and look for shapes in Lakitu's cloud?

Thanks to Tor Inge, who once made a flipbook out of corrugated steel. The dude's strong.
What better way to teach your child the alphabet than with characters from the Mega Man series? There's none that I can think of. BESIDES HOT GEEKOLOGIE TOPICS! Kidding, I don't want any babies exploding with A is for awesome. Okay now you do B.

Thanks to P05TMAN, jigga and Barbado, who learned the alphabet the good old fashioned way: literally having it beaten into them.
You've Got To Be Kidding Me: Cleavage Caddy
Retrieved 236 Days Ago
The cleavage caddy may look like a breast-shaped CD holder for your car's sun visor, but it's not. No, it's a purse a woman (or moobed gentleman -- hopefully with a monocle) stows between their breasts (look at me using the proper nomenclature!) and bra.
An insert for your bra with or without an added lace accent to to enhance your attire with a feminine influence. If you choose the lace version, the lace covers your cleavage, adding an extra element of modesty, while still allowing you to carry all of your personal items discretely tucked in your bra. These are worn anchored to the bra by the elastic strap with a snap. Tuck away your keys, credit cards, lipstick and more!

Awesomest Sweater Vest In The World

Because there's nothing more enjoyable than watching jackasses hurt themselves attempting feats of stupid, this is a compilation of the best (and most painful) fails of 2009. It's chock full of future Darwin Award recipients, and I wouldn't be surprised if half these jokers don't make it to 2011 (please exit the gene pool ladder left). Although, as a guy who's shattered his arm twice and now has a Luke Skywalker arm, I want to cut it off and be human again.

See-through Laptop Screen Is See-through

Samsung had a 14" laptop prototype on display at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show with a transparent OLED display. That means you can see the screen AND your legs at the same time. Maybe even your penis! Kidding, kidding, it's not a giant magnifying glass. Oooooh, emasculated to the emaximus! Hit the jump for a video of the screen in action.
