Eclectic Method: 8 Bit Mixtape

This brings back TOO many memories!


Eclectic Method - 8 Bit Mixtape from Eclectic Method on Vimeo.

Punch The Pig

I came across this new interactive billboard advertisement today:

Its a Marketing Campaign by PNC for its "Virtual Wallet" product.

Now...its not actually making me get up and go out to purchase this new service PNC has to offer, but I think the idea of what basically amounts to be a giant gaming screen is cool enough to make me write about it.

Here's a video of people actually using the thing:

Video Timeline of Asteroid Discoveries Between 1980-2010

This is a video showing the discovery of asteroids from 1980 - 2010. It starts offpretty slow, but by the late 90's/early 00's asteroids start popping up faster!

Terminator 2: The Opera

From the creators of the Conan Musical! (You can look here for THAT one!)

Two New Star Wars Figures

Some of you may remember my first adventure with the Jamaican accented “Vendor Mon” where I basically stole purchased Darth Vader’s Imperial TIE Fighter for an incredibly low price. You can take a looky here for that tale.

Well today, I can across Vendor Mon again and this time he had a number of Star Wars Action Figures.

I bought two of them that caught my eye, and let’s just say that the price I paid for BOTH wouldn’ty have even gotten me ONE of those online, so again…I managed to get a good baragain.

Which two, you are probably thinking by now?

You can see that this is Luke Skywalker as he appeared in the last few minutes of Episode IV. This caught my eye because, when I was a child, they never did make this figure. They has just about EVERY sort of Luke Skywalker figure but not this one, and I even remember my Dad asking me how come I didn’t have Luke in this outfit in my collection.

The modeling is good as the figure has a blaster, an deactivated lightsaber, and the medal he received from Princess Leia…all highly detailed.

The second one I got is Imperial Starfleet Officer Juno Eclipse from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Again, another good model that comes with a blaster and a base as well.

If you are unfamiliar as to who Juno is exactly, you read more about her here.

As to why I bought that figure…

Suffice to say, SWTFU has become one of my favorite games, and I am totally looking forward to its upcoming sequel.

Plus…

Tough female blondes who have a thing for Dark Siders are just simply and totally awesome.

MBR-04-MkVI Tomahawk

Many of you know that I am a fan of 'mechs and 'mechas...and that the origin for that stems from may of the Americanized Japanese Serials I grew up watching from my childhood.

However...

Back in the 80's, a new game from FASA came out known as Battletech, and needless to say I was instantly fascinated.

Amazingly, it wasn't until many years later that I found out that many of the Battlemech Designs used in the game were "borrowed" works from other genres.

The 'mech that was featured in the image above, for example, was from the Macross Series and is part of the Destroid Class. That model in particular is referred to as a Tomahawk.

I recently found out that 1/72 scale model of that model is actually scheduled to be released in late August.

The kit is a snap fit construction set, without the need for glue, using Poly-cap for the joint parts for the ability to pose. The opening and closing of cockpit hatch and missile hatches are thoroughly reproduced, true to the original settings and highly detailed.

More models of the Destroid Class are anticipated to be released. 

Symbiotic Titan

This new series look promising. Ya just cannot go wrong with 'mechs!

The Last Exorcism

This is a most excellent Marketing Campaign. Kudos to the team that thought this up!

Taco Bell: Open 'till "Dark Knight" or later...

First we had Darth Vader holding up a Chase Bank.

Now witness...

The Dark Knight himself is reduced to robbin' (pun intended) another man's tacos.

What is this planet coming to?

"Run for the border..." indeed!
