The Final Countdown: Bad Draculas, Bootleg Thor Trailer and Titanic 2

Published by Paul Tassi under Final Countdown

Go here to see bad Draculas.

Before Edward Cullen, there was another famous vampire. No, not Blade, Dracula. Over the years he’s been played in many ways, but a few have been an affront to his once-upon-a-time badassery.

Unreality’s Facebook page wants your blood. Not really, just you “likes.”

Steve Carell vs. Zach Galifianakis

Published by Paul Tassi under Movies, Videos

I’ve sort of forgotten about Funny or Die, and with it, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. I thought his schtik of abusing celebrities via his awkward interviews was funny for a while, but it just became kind of whatever at some point.

But I just watched his latest one with Steve Carell (conveniently out when Dinner for Schmucks gets released tomorrow, hmm), and it’s absolutely hilaroius. Carell is the best when it comes to being fake pissed off, and this is probably the best Ferns segment I’ve seen. Check it out above.

Someday, I’ll be able to spell Galifianakis right on my first try…

Why I Want to be a PC Gamer, but Can’t

Published by Paul Tassi under Editorial, Video Games

(I touched briefly on this issue yesterday in my Starcraft 2 review, and was writing this column for another site, but I decided to post it here instead. Enjoy.)

Starcraft 2 came out this week, a game that I’ve been looking forward to for what seems like eons. And that’s barely an exaggeration. The original title was released in 1998, and I remember in 2000 thinking they were waiting an awful long time to announce a sequel.

Well, in that ensuing decade Blizzard was a little busy buying up people’s souls with a little game called World of Warcraft, but finally they did get around to their long lost project, and now that it’s here, it’s glorious. Well, at least it is for some people.

A year and a half ago, I bought a Sony VAIO laptop. It’s always been fast for everything I’ve needed it for, the screen has been extremely sharp thanks for a Blu-Ray player and 1080p resolution. It’s been the perfect PC for me, outside of a few pixels that decided to commit suicide for no reason.

But after buying Starcraft 2, I now see that my laptop is complete and utter shit. Due to my 2.0 Ghz processor (far below the required 2.6) and my Intel “I don’t know the number but it’s not good enough” graphics card, I’m forced to play the game with graphics and texture settings on low. And when they say low, boy do they mean low. The game looks completely last generation, with blocky polygons and muddy textures, a far cry from the 1080p glory I’ve seen in broadcasted YouTube matches. I can’t even see death animations, my units just instantaneously disappear when killed.

A Gallery of Predobear Invading Comic-Con

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Oddly Enough

predobear2.jpg

I’m not going to fully elaborate on the meme for anyone who hasn’t been on the internet in three years, but long story short, Pedobear is a cartoon bear that likes to pop up any time anything underage and questionable is going on, and at SDCC is that he decided to don a costume (and thus become “Predobear”) and troll the floor looking for opportunities to be inappropriate and hilarious.

Check out a few pictures of his antics below, along with one memorable run-in with this year’s biggest tween sensation, Hit Girl.

A Disturbing Gallery of All Things Human Centipede

Published by Madison under Images, Movies

I’ve been somewhat relieved to discover that I’m not the only person who’s really fascinated with The Human Centipede.  In fact, my love of the soon-to-be-if-it-isn’t-already cult classic is pretty tame compared to that of some other fans.  The idea and concept of The Human Centipede crack me up, but I certainly haven’t bought any merchandise, created anything, or dressed up in a costume related to the movie.  Of course, thanks to the wonderful Internet, I’ve been able to track down the results of people who have.  Be prepared to be a little disgusted and check out a sweet gallery of all things Human Centipede below.  FEED HER!!!!

The Most Expensive Home Theater in the World

Published by Nattyb under Images

Amazing Home Theater

I figured this would be a great time to post pictures like this as I’m finally moving out of NYC tomorrow.  My run here has ended and it’s time to move to suburbia.   One of the major things to consider when buying a home is costs.   I’ve made the conscious decision to do the best I can to make the best house possible which means sparing no expense.

Like I’d rather have a kick ass television than a kick ass car.  Ya dig?  I want my home to be a place that I want to be in.  That I’d rather spend time than anywhere else.    Which is why when I came across this home theater it got me thinking.  While I’ll never have one like this, it makes sense to do the best with what you got.

While I don’t have $6mm like these people do, I hope to one day have a kick ass home theater….

Go here to see a big Mousetrap.

Why yes, that is a lifesize version of the game Mousetrap. That’s all I’m saying about it. To know who built it, or where it came from, or how many real life mice it has trapped, you’re going to have to click above.

I Choose You

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Video Games

i-choose-you.jpg

Is this the nerdiest way to ask someone out ever? It’s pretty damn close, but come on, you have to say yes. You can’t change the name of your Pokemon more than once, meaning he’s tainted all his high-level Pokemon…just for you! If that’s not a romantic gesture, I’m not sure what is.

Plus, she’s going to tear through the Elite Four with a level 98. That’s just a bonus gift right there.
