Here's what Bungie's Jason Jones contributed to the Sony PS4 release conference today, an in house video touting the Destiny game:



The key take away for me is that the graphics of Destiny will be absolutely first rate. The music sounded pretty good too.

Adam Savage Builts a Case For His “Blade Runner” Prop Replica In Just a Day [Video]







Adam Savage of Mythbusters has a Blade Runner prop replica gun (like you do) and decided it needed an epic box for transportation and display. Savage already has an affinity for boxes and cases, and he wanted this box to be stylized and include artifacts from the Blade Runner and Alien universe. Tested goes behind the scenes to watch him build it in a day.



The finished product is beautiful, and it’s fun to watch it come together. I never tire of watching people make stuff.

Vulcan Could Become Part Of Our Solar System, Thanks To Shat And SETI


Vulcans-vulcans-17868380-1440-1080




SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) began an online poll a few days ago to find names for two tiny moons of Pluto, recently discovered thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, and designated P4 and P5 thus far.



SETI proposed a list of mythology-inspired monikers, in keeping with the naming traditions of planetary bodies within our solar system, and so far, Vulcan is leading the race. Approximately 347,000 votes have been cast, with more than 120,000 for Vulcan. Cerberus and Styx are in second and third place, respectively, and other candidates include Hercules, Orpheus, Sisyphus, and Persephone (not enough Firefly fans voting, apparently).



It was William Shatner himself who proposed this addition to SETI. The Shat never misses a chance to pimp out Star Trek, and suggested not only Vulcan, but Romulus as well–but it seems that one’s already taken (along with Remus), it’s the name of one of Asteroid 87 Silvia’s moons (I didn’t even know asteroids HAD moons! Who says this site isn’t educational?)



Keep in mind, this poll itself will not choose the names of these moons. The candidates with the most votes will be presented to the International Astronomical Union, but they will make the actual decision.



If you’d like to add your two cents, the poll is open until 12:00 PM EST on Feb. 25 at Pluto Rocks! (one vote per day, please).

Watch New ‘Oz’ Clip Featuring Kunis and Weisz


oz-the-great-and-powerful-poster-1




In a few more weeks, we will behold Sam Raimi‘s Oz The Great and Powerful, the modernized, updated prequel to the MGM classic film. Naturally, as we get closer to the release date we’ll see more and more clips, like this one, which features Rachel Weisz as Evanora and Mila Kunis as Theodora arguing over the veracity of the Wizard’s claims when he arrives in Oz from Kansas, and it ends with explosive results. Watch the clip below:



src="http://movies.yahoo.com/video/oz-great-powerful-argument-over-165213746.html?format=embed&player_autoplay=false" height="351" width="624" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">



The film co-stars James Franco as the Wizard and Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good Witch.



Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.



Oz comes out March 8th.

Kuroshitsuji II: Alois Trancy 05

kuroshitsuji ii cosplay - alois trancy 5 by arturo pozo


WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

Some time after the death of his brother Luca, Alois (whose real name is Jim McCain) was brought along with other boys to the Trancy estate. However, he was initially rejected by Trancy for his "filthy looking eyes". Alois later overheard another boy talking about summoning a fairy to have his wish come true. Curious to know if such a tale could be real, Alois performed the ceremony and instead summoned Claude Faustus. They then created the contract in what appeared to be a strange dream ritual.

Impressive cosplay by Arturo Pozo! Looks like Alois is saying "Ole!" in this photo! Thanks to Miguel for sending this in!
