LIMBO - In-game Teaser

A sweet game trailer I stumbled upon via LikeCOOL. A 2D side scroller with a very dark and dangerous feel. And people say video games aren't art.

App Inventor for Android

Google is making it easier for you to write applications. Checkout their App Inventor - an easy online interface for writing applications for your phone. It is oddly reminiscent of the Lego Mindstorms programming interface with drag and drop blocks that connect to each other. It may not allow to do everything, but its fast and easy.

We are back with Shootout Monday!

After a brief hiatus in the wildnerness at our secret lair, we are back to the style at Vund3rbar. To aid our post-vacation woes, what better a remedy then some good old fashioned shootouts!?

Both of these videos have some pretty sweet action in their own styles. The lego one is super sweet.



And the cardboard one has some sweet props.

M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy

M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy: Charlie Jane Anders scathing review of Avatar the Last Airbender is likely far funnier than the movie which is an enormous travesty. It is sad to see something that could have been so great get mangled. The review manages to squeeze in one small compliment among a couple pages of sarcastic criticisms. You guessed it, the special effects are awesome - which occasionally makes you forget how bad the rest of the movie is.

Hulu Plus!

As someone who loves internet TV (seeing as how I don't have cable or satellite) Hulu Plus for $10 a month sounds like an awesome idea. As long as the content is there, I will pay. But it sounds like the Daily Show and Colbert Report will not be available, severely hurting my chances of signing up. One extra bonus though, iPhone and iPad viewing comes with the subscription!

Stream Big Boi's solo album right now!

Sir Lucious Left Foot... The Son of Chico Dusty is the solo album debut by one half of my favorite hip-hop duo Outkast, Big Boi. This album doesnt come out until July 6th, so take advantage of this generosity to listen in full now. You can also pre-order the album at Big Boi's site with different options including some cool swag. The limited edition Goodwood necklace (pretty rad but i got my eye on The Skullness) is enough justification for dropping the extra dough on the deluxe Goodwood pack.

Which one of these is not like the other? Which one of these does not belong?

Robert Mackenzie


Greg Peltz

If you answered none, or you don't know, then you might be right. Greg Peltz says on his blog that he was so inspired after seeing Robert Mackenzie's work that he wanted to recreate his own version to hang in his house. He of course gives full credit to Mackenzie for the idea, but has since gone on to make a whole sleuth of other paintings. You would be a fool to not checkout both artists pages to see their dazzling work.

14th Anniversary, Stone Emperial IPA

My other favorite-est brewery on the planet, Stone Brewery, has released its 14th anniversary beer today, Emperial IPA. The statement released by Head Brewer Mitch Steele and President and Brewmaster Steve Wagner says that for this brew they went on an escapade to England to search out the old British techniques and ingredients for making a traditional British style ale. Only fitting then that the 14th anniversary Emperial IPA uses all British ingredients except for the water.

I personally can't wait to try out this new offering from a very respectable and reputable brewery. Also, if in the San Diego area, you should definitely head over for a brewery tour.

Dogfish head Bitches Brew!

One of my favorite breweries on the planet, Dogfish head, has released another seasonal sometimes brew, Bitches Brew. This one is a tribute to the original Bitches Brew jazz album crafted by Miles Davis in 1970. Head on over to their site to check it out and order some stuff. If you happen to be by a distributor who can get you Dogfish heads or carries them regularly youd be a fool not to try them all.

Avatar The Last Airbender

M. Night Shamalan is making a live action movie based on the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was an avid fan of the cartoon, and while I am not sure if his dark and serious adaptation does the cartoon justice, I am still very excited to see what the movie can do. The main characters can control the 4 elements (fire, earth, water, and air) and to make it look realistic they needed to bust out some serious special effects. They hired movie CG bigwigs ILM (from Transformers and Star Wars) to come up with some seriously awesome looking effects. Check the breakdown at i09 or the latest trailer here:
