My Childhood Recaptured in Stop Motion
And by ‘my childhood’, I of course mean the X-Men cartoon from the 90s, recreated in loving detail.
Glorious! The action figure work is to die for. The video was made by Kyle Roberts and Reckless Abandonment Pictures. Top notch work. Apparently they took over 4,000 individual pictures to make that video, along with special effects and background animation. Truly impressive. My friends and I in college once made a stop motion video in the hallway. It was good, and I wish I still had a copy of it somewhere.
I don’t know about you, but the X-Men cartoon in the 90s defined my childhood. I was watching that cartoon before I even really got into comic books, and no doubt it helped spur me along to my eventual obsession. So kudos to these people for winning the Internet this week.
The Stick of Truth Will Warp Our Fragile Little Minds
Oh my God, you guys. I missed this during Assassin’s Creed Week, but this trailer is too damn good! It’s an actual gameplay trailer for the upcoming South Park RPG Stick of Truth!
The game looks incredible! It looks exactly like the show. To hell with all those old South Park games that tried to turn them into 3D computer animated characters. That was garbage, this is awesome. Just look at all those awesome South Park Easter Eggs and references to the show. This game is making me drool. A fantasy-based South Park RPG. Oh man, oh man.
The Last Stand of the Goomba
Watch and know the horrible truth.
Damn you, plumber! Damn you to World 8! Pipoca Effects are true heroes for this unflinching documentary!
Eagle Vision? Meet Donut Vision
Found it online, not sure who draw it. But I definitely think it fights this week’s special theme!
The Best Dragonball Z Fan Film Ever!
And that’s not just hyperbole. I’d like to see anyone else – including Hollywood – make one better than this. These fans are the real deal.
That is impressive work. The costumes, the acting, the looks. I love that Vegeta seems to be wearing a painted cycling chest guard. Everything is just so well done. I mean, it’s clearly an amateur job, but there is a lot of heart behind it. Plus Tien, my favorite character, gets some awesome scenes. This is what true geekery is about, people. The film was made by K8K Productions out of England. Kudos to them.
