Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

Today, I found what is possibly the best and most eloquently written piece on the hotly debated topic of “video games as art” via Roger Ebert’s Twitter (uploaded to the Chicago Sun-Times by Ebert himself) which, given his uncharacteristically close-minded initial response to the subject, gives me hope in the old man just yet. From [...]

There are few webcomics I find amusing and none I closely follow (perhaps to my detriment as I understand there’s some quality stuff amidst all the murk out there) but Our Valued Customers is the proverbial exception to the rule. It has been a daily dose of simultaneous hilarity and this for quite a while [...]

I dedicated the majority of the last three weeks of my life to it but it’s finally done, my sketchbook is now in the Brooklyn Art Library. It’ll be available for viewing for a few weeks starting on February 19th and it’ll go on tour around the country until late July. Excitement! Above is a [...]

So I’m pretty bored at work, lacking the inspiration needed to work on some of my projects and I was thinking, just how much stuff did I write for this site last year? And what exactly was it about? I figure some grunt work will help clear my mind and below is the end result: a list with links to every post I made [...]

About a year ago, I humbly declared that one of my goals for 2010 was to get my average daily hits for that year from 24 to at least 30. As it turned out, that target was trumped on the very first month of 2010 with an average of 53 hits per day on the [...]

UDON is putting out a third Tribute artbook, a Mega Man one this time, and I’m throwing my hat in the ring once again. When I submitted to the Street Fighter Tribute, my piece just wasn’t very well executed and when I submitted to the Darkstalkers Tribute, I couldn’t color it in time. This time around, [...]

Over the last few days, we lost two giants who left their marks in completely different areas of the film industry. There is really nothing to be said of Irvin Kershnel, the man who directed, among others, a movie that is one of the greatest of all time and the voice of a generation. Of [...]

I held off on creating a Twitter account for the longest of times for one simple reason: my name is longer than their name character limit so fuck ‘em. Then I started to realize that I was missing on bits of internet gold by not being enrolled in the Twitter-verse so I made my whole [...]

  With 5.3 million viewers, the highest ratings for any series in AMC’s history, it’s safe to say that the TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead is doing pretty well for itself. I attended the show’s panel at New York Comic-Con last month and what I saw and heard was extremely promising so it does my heart [...]

The lead-up to Conan O’Brien’s new show on TBS (appropiately titled “Conan”) has been a lot of fun with tons of original web content, fan interaction, a blimp and whatnot but the above promo, which was shown exclusively in Regal Theaters, really takes the cake. It’s quite possibly the funniest commercial I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait until the show’s debut [...]
