This fantastic zombie apocalypse-themed wedding cake was made by Tracey over at the Little Cherry Cake Company. I just love how the bride and groom stand on top of that cake, waiting for the zombies to come up so that they can chop their heads off. Om nom nom nom.

The Star Wars Gangsta Rap is Already 13 Years Old! [Video]

I remember when the original version of this song/video came out in 2000, I watched it over, and over, and over again. Back then, Youtube didn’t exist, and the video was in flash format on newground.com. I’ve included both the revamped (above) and original version (below) to share the nostalgia with you guys.

We’ve got Death Star!

Last year, she was Banthapug, the year before, her owner transformed her into wampug, and this year, she’s a Gamorrean guard.

Edit: This is quite obviously a happy little pug! The headline was written to put emphasis on the Gamorrean aspect of her costume.

Edit #2: I’d like to apologize for not reporting the info correctly. Editing this from my phone so I’ll keep this brief. You are all absolutely right. I’d also like to say that I did ask for the owner’s permission before posting the picture. I am truly and deeply sorry about all of this.

I’ll soon be posting a full picture gallery of user-submitted Halloween costumes on the site, but I think this specific one by Blizzard Entertainment employee René Koiter should be on a post of its own. Not only did René create one of the most amazing and true-to-the-series depiction of Khal Drogo I’ve seen, but he also did a great in-character performance for Blizzard’s annual Halloween costume contest a few days ago. Check it out!

Thanks René!
