The Shaking Fist

The first issue of Wayshak’s new comic called Ferryman came out today, and as usual the art is badass. Go get it. Now.

This music video cracks me up: metal, School House Rock style.

Amigo de todos!

Alex is blowing up right now! I thought I’d help spread the love…

BURBANK, Calif. (September 10, 2007) – Studio 2.0, the original programming, digital production arm of the Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG), has begun production on 23 new short form series projects for broadband and wireless, with additional programming in active development. The new projects – from Jim Henson Productions, Telepictures Productions, Warner Bros. Animation and film & television director/producer McG, as well as fast-rising comedians Joey & David, videogame/film/television producer Jason Hall and cutting-edge artist Alex Pardee, among others – reflect WBTVG’s creative strategy for Studio 2.0, to showcase new artistic voices, provide creative opportunities for established talent in the broadband/wireless space and serve as an incubator for new television series.

“Chadam”: Cutting-edge artist Alex Pardee and producer Jason Hall of HDFILMS Inc. are teaming up on a 3D animation project based upon Pardee’s character of the same name. Initially introduced as a character icon for the popular rock band The Used, Chadam has become an Internet phenomenon. Chadam lives as the “chosen one” in the hyper-stylized and exaggerated metropolitan island city of Vulture. His power of imagination is strong enough to physically change his environment and, therefore, his world … to save it from evil. The series will find Chadam in a place of refuge, where he and others have retreated to plan their attack against the serial killer known as Viceroy. An action-horror-adventure story filled with self-discovery, “Chadam” will come to full 3D animated life via the magic of the Unreal Engine 3, the leading technology and development framework that powers cutting-edge games such as “Gears of War” and “BioShock” on today’s popular platforms, including PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The Internet series will serve as an incubator for future expansion of the “Chadam” universe, from additional online episodes to television, film, videogames and more. (Science Fiction)

Apparently Aspyr is going to be releasing Guitar Hero 3 for Mac this fall. Imagine the hacks. And the add-ons. Oh, the possibilities.

It took approximately 6,400 Post-its and five hours to create this rendition of Donkey Kong in the windows of this UCSC engineering building.

…is an awesome movie. I highly recommend it. We went to go see the special showing at the Arclight last night. They had the guy that played the creatures signing posters (before we got there), and then he spoke a little before the movie started. T’was awesome. I even spotted Jhonen Vasquez a few seats away. Afterward they had a Q & A with the actor, but unfortunately it was after midnight and the drive back to Ventura was already looking ominous at that point - especially with work to go to the next morning.

I’m ready for sleepytime.

My latest internet addiction: weffriddles. It’s a series of little puzzles ranging from obvious to what-the-fuck. Enjoy. Feel stupid.

I’m currently stuck on (the real) level 45, so if any of you guys have enough time on your hands to get sucked into this and either need help or figure out 45 before me, lemme know.
