The Hit Squad - First Pixellated Feature Movie

What do you get when Family Guy and Nintendo conceive a child at Spinal Tap orgy? The Hit Squad! If you are always on Twitter, and you have people in your circles who love the 80s and everything that goes with it – especially 8-bit stuff, then you might have gotten wind of the world’s first pixellated feature film. That is The Hit Squad. Here’s a quick look at what the film is all about.

Target Does The Avengers

This is one of the times that it must suck to be in the US. If you’re eagerly awaiting the release of The Avengers, that is. When I woke up today, I saw my Twitter stream full of people talking about having seen The Avengers. Good for them, huh? If you’re still “patiently” waiting to see the movie, we hope that our Avengers Week will help a little. How about taking a look at an advertising campaign by Target?

Lebowski Ipsum

It’s the end of the week, but it doesn’t mean that it is the end of the line for Lorem Ipsum generators that are not the run-of-the-mill kind. Do you remember the Lorem Ipsum Generator for Hipsters? That post also included a bonus: the Bacon Ipsum Generator. Earlier today, I found myself playing with a different kind of Lorem Ipsum Generator. Called the Lebowski Ipsum Generator, it has all sorts of references to the 1998 comedy movie starring Jeff Bridges. I guess it’s time for another confession: I only got to see the movie very recently. And I didn’t even pay that much attention as I was working. After playing Read more »

New ‘Hunger Games’ Site Assigns You To a District

I’ll come right out and admit it: I’m hopelessly obsessed with The Hunger Games. I started reading Suzanne Collins’ masterful trilogy this year, and found myself unable to stop. Yeah, there’s a love triangle, but it’s the anti-Twilight. Because these teenagers don’t have time for long, emo talks about their feelings. They’re too busy being forced to kill each other for sport. Read more »
