It's time for another issue of Things and Stuff! First up, rage faces! Everyone has seen these on the internet. EVERYONE. But we rarely see them in real life. Until, as you may have guessed was coming, now.
Next, here's probably the greatest female Skeletor costume I've ever seen. It was snapped over at Megacon 2012, and… I am officially feeling a feeling.
Remember Skeletor? Remember? He's this guy.
Nice to know that somewhere, even the ugliest bastard has a hot alter-ego traipsing around, arousing fanboys.
Next, some gaming news! A fantastic little online turn-based RPG has just been released, Marvel: Avengers Alliance. You can play as a metric crapload of characters from the Marvel universe, predominantly those from the Avengers lineup, and the game is structured so as to minimise destructive effects upon your social life. It's like the coffee table book of games.
You create your own agent, then you work with the greatest heroes of all time... at least, those from the Marvel universe.
Having said that, it is pretty addictive. It lives in Facebook, but a surprising amount of fantastic games live on or around Facebook now (look at Spiral Knights). To whet your appetite further, here's the launch trailer:
Oh! And speaking of trailers… the latest Avengers trailer, for the Joss Whedon soon-to-be-masterpiece, is INCREDIBLE. Observe.
I mean, sweet JESUS. That bit where The Hulk grabs an unconscious Iron Man? Boner town. And that's not all the internet has served up in terms of nerd trailers. Did you catch the trailer a little while back for Prometheus, the Alien prequel by Ridley Scott?
That might just be the sexiest goddamned thing i've ever seen. And if you're an Alien fan, you'll know about the corporation whose interests bleed into the overarching plot of the series. Here's an insane viral video from Ridley Scott. Good god, I am so overstimulated right now.
