YouTubeIndustrious, I Guess: 8-Bit Video Game Wedding Invitation
By Great White Snark | March 4, 2010
So, “Lia” and her fiance went to the trouble of programming Super-Mario-like 8-bit video games* to serve as the invitations to their wedding.
“We knew that we didn’t want standard paper invites. We wanted something for people to keep and remember. We are geeks. We love video games. Why not have a video game invite?”
The thing is, the invited guests can’t see the wedding details until they win the game.

Delightful: Pug in a Teen Wolf Costume [Cosplay]
By Great White Snark | March 4, 2010
Usually there’s only one dog whom I’ll allow to appear in a canine costume on this here blog.

But then Shelby came along in this Teen Wolf dog costume, and I broke one of my personal rules for the first time since I paid to see a Michael Bay movie.
Via Go Pug Yourself by way of Geekosystem, who tells everyone he does the Wolf Dance. Which, you should know, is totally a euphemism.

Terrible, Just Terrible: Avatar: The Last Airbender Costumes [Cosplay]
By Great White Snark | March 2, 2010
Anyone who knows Avatar: The Last Airbender–either via its original incarnation as a fantastic animated TV show or by way of the compelling trailers for the upcoming live-action movie–knows that the main characters are all little Asian kids.
Little. Skinny. Asian. Kids.
Not only do these Airbender costumes not feature Asians, nor kids, their degree of non-skinniness falls squarely within the domain of “Did someone mention little kids? ‘Cause I could totally eat right now.”
Via The Daily What, who frowns upon snacking on children. Unless they’re suuuuper asking for it.

“Hate” Doesn’t Cover It: Yoda Transformers Toy
By Great White Snark | March 2, 2010
This Yoda Transformers “Attack Ship”–unveiled at Toy Fair 2010 and scheduled for release in August–makes me so profoundly unhappy.
If your eyes have done something to really piss you off lately*, you can make them pay the price with more images of ridiculous forthcoming Star Wars Transformers over at Transformer World 2005.
* No, seriously, though. If you and your eyes are currently on good terms, I do not recommend following that link.

Nerve Endings Taste Good(?): Avatar Na’vi Cake [Geeky Cake]

I just can’t tell if the cake artisan has captured this young Na’vi in a state of “oh, shit!” right before his tree-home is demolished by the Evil Human Forces, or if the little fella has just discovered the marvels of sucking on his own nerve endings.
Thanks to Kyla for the tip.

Cutest Lil’ Violence: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Stop-Motion LEGO Animation
By Great White Snark | March 2, 2010
Here’s a fantastic LEGO stop-motion animation by Fancy Pants Productions based on the mega-successful (and deliciously violent) Star Wars video game property, The Force Unleashed.
I made this as part of an animation challenge on bricksinmotion.com. The goal was to make the coolest lightsaber duel possible. The lightsaber and blaster effects were done in photoshop.
Come for the hot Star Wars-y action, stay for the remarkable smoothness of the stop-motion animation, the professional camera movements, and the high-quality, tightly-integrated sound effects.
Or, you can make like GWS and giggle, point, and say, “Mmmm, pretty.”
Mmmm, pretty.
Via Brothers Brick, who will force choke you if you don’t stop running in the house with that lightsaber on.
