I Remember You!: Borderland’s Mad Moxxi Cosplay

Posted by Ry on May 17 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

moxxi-cosplay-1.jpg This is a small gallery of deviantARTist Katy-Angel doing probably the best job I've seen cosplaying as everyone's favorite gladiatorial circus ringleader, Mad Moxxi. Sadly, as much as I loved Borderlands, I couldn't bring myself to grind all the way through Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot DLC. I played all the other add-ons, got every other trophy and did absolutely everything else, including kill Crawmerax the Invincible. I just didn't feel like putting in the hours to beat Moxxi's Underdome. "Lies." Fine, I kept dying then rage-quit and took a bite out of the game disk. It did NOT taste like a futuristic laser bagel. Hit the jump for two more.

Finally, Because Standing Sucks: The Horizontal Shower

Posted by Ry on May 17 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

horizontal-shower-1.jpg This is the Horizontal Shower from luxury bathroomer Dornbracht. You just lay on the stone pedestal like you're about to be sacrificed for a plentiful harvest, then let the six water jets soak your body, flooding your ass with cleanliness and washing away any rogue buttcrumbs like paper boats in a stream. Holy shit I should start writing product descriptions.
The shower comes with a controller they call the eTool, which lets you direct the flow from the various jets, and choose between various programmed patterns kind of like a massage bath. You can also use the eTool to regulate the water temperature and intensity.
Or you could, you know, lay down in a regular shower like I do. Sure it's not as glamorous and way more soap-scummy, but so what? IT'S CHEAP. Plus if you plug the drain with a toe and let the bath fill up your penis will float. Medical fact! Hit the jump for a couple more pictures and a video which, for a second, I thought was gonna be a softcore porno (and might have been!).

Visit Gotham City: Art Deco Superhero Travel Posters

Posted by Ry on May 17 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

superhero-travel-1.jpg This is a small series of art deco style travel posters by artist Dave Ault advertising some of the cities superheroes work in/are from. I don't know about you, but I'd visit Gotham City. But only if The Joker was around and throwing a gala ball I could attend. That guy -- he seems like he knows how to party. But Wonder Woman's homeland of Theymscira? I didn't even know people were allowed to visit there. Isn't it like just a bunch of topless Amazonian women running around? That sounds like a terrible time. Hit the jump for The Flash, Wonder Woman, The Green Arrow and Superman.

Politician In Iceland Moves Elf Family’s Boulder Home Onto His Estate After Saving His Life In Car Accident

Posted by Ry on May 17 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

elf-family-boulder.jpg Icelandic Parliament member Árni Johnsen nearly died in a car accident in 2010 but was saved by a family of elves living in a 30-ton boulder nearby. So, to thank them, he's agreed to move their boulder onto his property where they can live their lives in luxury and not off the side of a highway.
I had Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir, a specialist in the affairs of elves from Álfagarðurinn in Hellisgerði, Hafnarfjörður, to come look at the boulder with me [...] She said it was incredible, that she had never met three generations of elves in the same boulder before [...] She said an elderly couple lives on the upper floor but a young couple with three children on the lower floor [...] But they asked whether the boulder could stand on grass. I said that was no problem but asked why they wanted grass. 'It's because they want to have sheep.'
Admittedly, I was gonna call bullshit on this one from the start, but with names like "Álfagarðurinn in Hellisgerði, Hafnarfjörður" -- I dunno, that sounds like a place where elves might actually exist. And if they do... "We should go there, catch them in a sack, then beat it with a stick till they teach us earth-magic?" Bingo. Thanks to Ulri, who already has a family of elves living in the backyard but doesn't like to disturb them or they'll break in and steal things out of the kitchen cabinets.

Mommy, Where Do LEGO Babies Come From?

Posted by Ry on May 17 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

minifig-babies.jpg Seen here moments before child services were called, two LEGO parents grossly neglect 22 of their 24 bundles of joy crying hysteria. And now custom LEGO printer Citizen Brick is selling the orphaned minifigs for a scant $1 apiece. But seriously, somebody should have told that guy to put a plastic cap on his nubbin. Wrap it up, bro -- your wife is FERTILE. Kidding, I have no clue where LEGO babies come from. But I suspect a dragon from one of the medieval castle sets brings them if you pray really hard and put enough little gold pieces of eight from one of the pirate sets under your pillow at night. "They had sex, GW." WHAT? Toys don't have sex! None of mine do anyways. Okay, except for the Ninja Turtles. And, if I get drunk enough, MAYBE the Jurassic Park playset. "Is that why you've been walking like a penguin all day?" I think a t-rex might've chased the Jeep into my keister! Hit the jump for an assortment of some of the other custom-printed LEGO pieces Citizen Brick sells, including some zombie parts, some kinky shit, and a dude with a bong.

I’d Live There: Guy’s Ultra Impressive Gaming Setup

Posted by Ry on May 16 2012 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

gaming-setup.jpg This is a shot of Youtube user 16bitghost's (AKA Pete's) extensive home gaming setup. As you can see, he has pretty much every console ever including some that only existed on the city of Atlantis before Poseidon sank it because its citizens started worshiping science instead of him. HISTORICAL FACT. The only real question about the whole setup is how Pete connects everything, or if he just pulls out a console on an as-desired basis and plugs it in individual. Don't get me wrong, that's still cool, it's just that I have all my old consoles connected wirelessly. "GW, do you even HAVE any gaming consoles?" No, and my laptop is so shitty it crashes playing Minesweeper. Hit the jump for several more pictures and a 12-minute video walkthrough of the room.
