Best TeeFury shirt ever?

I've never seen Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, but I am a bit of a Star Wars fanatic. It's no secret that The Hidden Fortress had more than a little influence on Lucas's Star Wars, and TeeFury's November 23 tee ties the two together quite nicely. AJ Paglia's "Lightkatana Fight" is, in my humble opinion, the best tee they've featured since I started visiting the site earlier this year.

TeeFury features a different tee design every day. They cost only $9 plus $2 shipping, which is dirt cheap considering the high quality of the shirts and the limited nature of the designs. Each design is only available for 24 hours, so it's important to act fast!

Something Awesome: IGN's Retro Video Game Vehicle Posters

Earlier today, the good folks over at IGN posted some amazing retro posters centered around our favorite video game vehicles from games like Mario Kart, Halo, Half-Life 2 and more. Above is my personal favorite (and current wallpaper), obviously based on Nintendo's F-Zero series. Go check them out here. Oh, and take a look at their Retro Power-Up Product Posters post (alliteration!!) from mid-July. They're a bit taller than the vehicle posters and don't work quite as well as wallpapers, but they're arguably just as cool as the vehicles. Especially the Donkey Kong and Lon Lon Milk ones.

The Pimp-Boy 3 Billion

My Fallout: New Vegas review is in the editing process and should be up at ResetGames.com before too long; in the meantime, look what I found!

The Pip-Boy 3000 was an essential piece of equipment in Fallout 3, and its significance doesn't diminish in New Vegas. Imagine my surprise when I finished the Gomorrah casino quest during my second playthrough and was handed the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion, a blingin', golden, pimped out version of the Pip-Boy. I even heard disco music the first time I donned the gadget, probably because I chose the Wild Wasteland Trait at the beginning of the game.

Fallout: New Vegas has many self-aware in-jokes to find around the massive Mojave Wasteland, especially with Wild Wasteland enabled. Thus far, this one just might be my personal favorite.

Check out the Fallout Wiki, where I came across the above image, for more.

Thursday Night Batman Update!

Yesterday was a big day for Batman fans. Director Christopher Nolan announced in an exclusive interview with Hero Complex's Geoff Boucher the official title of his third and final Batman film: The Dark Knight Rises. I'm still not sure what I think of that title, but I know I'll come to accept it eventually.

Nolan also revealed that the Riddler would not be the villain. This makes me very happy; the Riddler is a little too similar to the Joker, in my opinion. Also, it's nice to know that people will shut up with the Riddler rumors (two days after The Dark Knight's release: "Hey Brent, Johnny Depp/Eddie Murphy is playing the Riddler in Batman 3. I read it somewhere. No, it's true. I read it.).

“We’ll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones," Nolan said in the interview. Who knows what that means. Maybe the Scarecrow/Crane will return? Talia al Ghul? Hush? Hugo Strange? Catwoman? I'm personally hoping for Hush, but I'd be fine with anyone Nolan chooses. He seems to be kinda good at this.

Nolan also said he would not shoot the film in 3D, but will use IMAX cameras again. Words cannot express how much I applaud this move. 3D is gimmicky and it gives theaters an excuse to jack up their ticket prices. IMAX is more expensive to watch, sure, but I thought seeing The Dark Knight in IMAX was a far cooler experience than any 3D movie.

In some casting news, Deadline recently reported that Inception's scene-stealing Tom Hardy would play a role in the new Batman film. I'm betting on a villain, but it's hard to tell at this point. The current rumor is he'll play Harvey Bullock, a Gotham City cop from the comics. Either way, Hardy is an amazing actor, and will no doubt be a valuable asset to the cast of The Dark Knight Rises.

To round out the Batman stuff, surf on over to Threadless. They've reprinted one of my favorite tee designs, and it's on sale for just $10 plus shipping through November 1st. "God Save the Villain!" by Enkel Dika is truly a jaw-dropping tee, one I'm sure Batman fans wouldn't mind wearing. It's the picture at the top of this post.

'Mad Men' Season 4 Finale 'Tomorrowland': Worst Episode Ever

"Tonight's 'Mad Men' was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever. Rest assured I was on the Internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world."

Comic Book Guy says it better than I can.

To sum it up: nothing happened. Nothing worthwhile anyway. Take this away from "Tomorrowland": no entertainment property is safe. Even in the hands of its creator, a property can still be tarnished. Case in point, go watch Attack of the Clones. I don't break out this picture much, but there it is.

'New Vegas', baby!

'Fallout: New Vegas' hits stores on Tuesday.

Remember, what happens in New Vegas stays in New Vegas.
