A Time-Lapse Tribute to The Pixel [Video]

This 20-by-8-foot, 5,760 pixel installation by 8-bit artist Jude Buffum was created over 5 days and recorded in this time-lapse video during the 25th annual Game Developers Convention earlier this year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark Stop Motion [Video]

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I’VE SEEN IN DAYS.  The entire first six minutes of “Raiders” done in stop-motion animation.  OH YEAH.

Ties Made of Trees

Wooden Ties

If you’re looking for a unique geeky Christmas present and are  environmental conscious, then consider taking a gander at Wood Thumb. I ran across this purveyor of unique wooden Men’s ties at the Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles last weekend. This San Fransisco-based startup uses recycled wood that is sourced and “upcycled” from old barns and houses to create unique wooden ties!



25 Awesomely Nerdy Snowmen

It’s cool to see a lot of old stand-bys: the R2D2, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, etc.  What’s interesting is the prevalence of meme-based snowman art.  The “forever alone” guy is made with dirty snow.  I think a good majority of these are pretty wicked.  Especially Spiderman.

MUST WATCH: Jedi Ninjas Lightsaber Battle [Video]

Jedi Ninjas was developed as a passion project to recreate the current style of Star Wars action seen in video games into live action. This style often combines elements of Force powers with the use lightsaber combat. As there are no upcoming live action Star Wars movies to this date, this was a project to make many of the fans’ dreams into a reality.

This shirt is inspired by the coolest mofo modown around this town. I wanted a design that looked more like a coat of arms and didn’t point to a specific Doctor.

Disney Steampunk. Yep [Pics]

The weirdest part of this is that, I swear, I was driving in my car the other day, thinking of jokes, when the idea of Disney Steampunk floated into my mind.  Now I get online this morning and boom, there it is.  The collective unconscious strikes again! These are neat, at least.

Cosplay Roundup for the Weekup

 

 

 

 

 

Gamma Squad’s weekly roundup of cool cosplay is rockin’ as always. The coolest thing about cosplay is that for them it’s Halloween every day. I wonder how much time some of these costumes take.
