Old Meets New in Resident Evil
For the umpteenth time, the original Resident Evil game has been re-mastered with new and awesome graphics. But someone with the message board handle of Bunny has decided to splice that re-mastered graphical awesomeness with the original game’s very-outdated audio. It is, quite simply, brilliant.
This is the sort of genius idea that the Internet was made for. I loved the original Resident Evil games. I think they were the reason I went with Playstation back in those early video game wars. I think I played Resident Evil 2 half a dozen times.

I Need About Tree-Fiddy
That’s $350, so I can buy the new LEGO Helicarrier from The Avengers. Behold its glory!
This insane piece of awesomeness is one of the largest LEGO models ever made, and will be nearly 3-feet-long on completion. It’s gone a ton of characters and jet fighters and Quinjets to hang out on the two runways. It’s a behemoth of epic proportions, and is once again something I’ll never be able to afford.
Why aren’t I rich yet?
Not that I would have anywhere to put the damn thing once it was built. But just knowing it exists, and looking at all of these pretty pictures, is enough to get me salivating.

A Day of Fan-Made Trailers!
A bunch of very talented people from all across the Internet have decided to use their video-editing skills for the good of mankind, and have produced a couple of really neat fan-made movie trailers! And seeing as how it’s Thursday, I thought I’d share.
Here we’ve got Captain America: Civil War by Alex Luthor.
Luthor then also graces us with his take on a Black Panther trailer.
And finally, a fella going by Prox added a darker, possibly cooler soundtrack to Avengers: Age of Ultron.

6 Superheroes With Football in Their Veins
The Big Game is this Sunday, and I’m not quite sure if an innocent little geek blogger like myself is allowed to use the words ‘Super Bowl’. Uh oh! I just said it! Ah well, hopefully this week’s List of Six can get the NFL on my side and there won’t be any lawsuits. Let’s talk about some football!
More fights should be decided by football
Specifically, let’s talk about superheroes with a penchant for football! That’s more my style anyway. But there’s one problem: there aren’t many sports-themed superheroes! When I tried to do a sports-themed list last year, I had to resort to skateboarders and a guy who throws javelins in order to reach six entries! But this year I went outside my wheelhouse and did some real digging!
So join me after the jump for six superheroes known for tossing around the pigskin!
Behold the First Teaser Trailer for the New Fantastic 4!
Usually movies have to wait for a sequel before they start replacing letters with numbers, but the new Fantastic 4 movie doesn’t have time to waste. So behold, the first teaser trailer for Fant4stic!
I know fandom is prepared to hate this movie, and I’d like to think I’m going to approach this with open eyes, but the trailer doesn’t do much for me yet. The movie looks slick, that’s for sure, but this trailer is a little too moody for my tastes right now. It doesn’t say ‘get excited for the new Fantastic 4 movie’, it says ‘there’s going to be a new Fantastic 4 movie, and here’s a glimpse of what it looks like’. Though I do like the angle that this is a sci-fi movie with a Fantastic 4 twist. And how there is zero attempt to connect to the previous films.
I guess FOX is just hoping that nobody cares enough to remember those other films, and that they’ll embrace this brand new attempt instead.
I’ll definitely go see the movie, and heck, maybe it will even be good, but it has an uphill battle ahead of it this year. Once Age of Ultron hits theaters, nobody is going to care about Fant4stic.
Jeez. It pains me to type that. At any rate, the movie comes out on Aug. 7.
