Take one part Mighty Muggs…One Part Charity…and all parts awesome, and you have something I wish I could’ve seen in person!
The Empire Muggs Back is a program designed to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, by way of custom Mighty Muggs, designed by various artists.
The whole group can be seen above. Personally, my favorite is the Lucas Mugg with a Pet AT-AT!

Of all the pieces of swag available at San Diego Comic Con this past week, this might’ve been the best.
Sure, it looks like a regular freebie shirt (above)…
But flip that shirt over your head and…
OH MY GOD A ZOMBIE

As robots become more and more common place in the future, it’s key to recall that we really shouldn’t become too friendly with them.
These PSAs from YouTube underline just how key that line of thinking is.

You know, while the past week has been a blast for me, between hosting Super Art Fight 4 at the Ottobar, and working a table for Art Fight High School at Otakon this past weekend, I got a bit backlogged.
Luckily, I have a whole slue of stories for you, and with SDCC this weekend, expect more coming fast and furious.
What’s on tap?
-More images from IRON MAN 2!
-First look at the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Remake
-A Review of (500) DAYS OF SUMMER!
and so much more!
So…know in advance, you’re about to get hit with deluge of geek – RIGHT IN THE FACE!
While I know that we’re going to see decent quality scans of these images very shortly, I figured you’d want to see these images as soon as you can.
Both above, and below, are the first looks at the Comic Con issue of Entertainment Weekly, featuring a cover story on Iron Man 2.
Via the cover, and an inset page, we get the first looks at Scarlett Johansson as a very attractive Black Widow, another look at Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
In true nerd cred way, these images are screencaps of the first look shown on Entertainment Tonight last night. Expect “real” images sometime this weekend.
EDIT: See, I told you it’d come fast! Here’s a clear version of the cover.
EDIT 2: And here’s a pic of Scarlett as Widow! In a word: UNF.

Oh, if there is a show I love, it is Mad Men.
So with each little bit they release, I get more excited.
Today, we have the first official promotional image, seen above.
Interesting shot of Don Draper literally being drowned in his office.
Will he be fighting to keep his head “above water” this season? Or is it a reference to his so called baptism at the end of Season 2?
We’ll find out the answers to that and more, when Mad Men Season 3 premieres in just about a month, on August 16th.
Love Left 4 Dead?
Love Shaun of the Dead?
Awesome, then there’s the PERFECT mod for you. Titled Left 4 Winchester, this PC-ONLY mod (mumble-grumble) allows you to play through the different locales seen in the 2005′s Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost zombie classic.
The release date has yet to be announced for this mod, but considering I’m an XBox 360 L4D player, I’ll just look on with jealousy.
…jerks.

As a fan of both terrible puns and early 90′s hip hop references, I completely endorse this advertisement/product.
