Recently I blogged about how getting the much anticipated Bioshock 2 from 2K Games is a must, and I have taken my own advice. With two gift cards I received for Christmas, I paid only 7.08 out of the whole $60ish (that's with tax) price tag and eagerly took it home. For any Bioshock 1 fans who were hesitating to get this game because of things they might have heard, I'm not sure if this is going to help the games case any, but read on!

Midnight February 23rd (that's Monday going into midnight on Tuesday) Come down to the POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD Blu-Ray Release Event at Forbidden Planet NYC with writer/director LLoyd Kaufman!

Ah Funny or Die, you've got your fingers on the heartbeat of this modern age. How else could they take the current two pop culture sinkholes that I care most about and make a video about them at just the right moment in history? Gypsies, thats how.

I first read about this on Lou Ander's Blog Bowling for the Future. I'd say it looks interesting -- like a car wreck that you're watching in slow motion involving a bus full of your friends and a truck hauling rare razor-billed exploding crocodiles.

i really don't know what to say!
This reminds me of the ridiculous toys that are available for Batman as well as Spider-Man and so many others. i mean we have seen all types. from deep sea Batman to moon walk Batman. Pilgrim Batman! I just don't know. it comes off as extremely cheesy and something one would see in the Adam West series.

The Apple iPad, aka the Savior of the Print Medium, aka Senor Rico Loco, aka the long fabled Apple tablet which became a verified almost reality last week, will without a doubt carry digital comic books. If you're a comic book fan with an iPhone, you've probably seen the likes of Comixology which we reviewed a while back, and others available for the device. Well the gadget geeks down at gizmodo are reporting on one such app, Panelfly and its coming reboot for the iPad. "This looks incredible" is an exact quote (notice the quotes) from Adam in an email to the Basement Crew.
