 YouTube Artist gloriously combines Super Mario Galaxy and Don't Stop Now

Ask yourself this question: How often do you sing your little heart out to some music by Queen? If you answer, every single GD time, this this mash-up is for you.

Youtube artist JimLad decided to take his love for Mario and create a video that matches up perfectly to Queen's Don't Stop Now.

This isn't one of those videos you watch for 20 seconds and then say to yourself "that's nice". No, its a 90% guarantee you will listen to the ENTIRE song. And that is a good thing.

Watch the following video and try to resist the urge to put Queen on repeat today...

When your health gets low, we know one turtle you CAN'T count on

Many of you remember the old school Nintendo classic TMNT game. But a common crisis that occurs is how do you determine who gets their hands on the pizza aka health?

In the following video, you can pretty much see what most of us have thought for years:

  • Nobody likes Donatello
  • Leonardo is a whiny bi#$@#
  • Ralph is the coolest, but kind of a selfish jerk
  • Never trust Michelangelo around a pizza for more than 30 seconds

What’s the most exciting thing to do after Thanksgiving? Shopping!  Everyone is getting their Christmas shopping done now when the deals are hot and the lines are long. Since I don’t like to go out on Black Friday I was searching online for a Series 1 Cole Train from NECA Toys when I found the most amazing news ever.

For awhile now I have been wishing for a scale replica of the 1987 Predator and yesterday this announcement was discovered from NECA Toys via Twitter (@NECA_Toys).

A quarter scale replica of the classic original 1987 Predator standing at a lumbering nineteen inches tall will be available Spring 2011.

There will be 3 versions, each with a different head. Predator with his helmet on, closed mouth, and open mouth. Each will retail for $80, and only 5,000 of each will be produced. Some stores are taking pre-orders now and you can save some money if you order all 3. I was so excited about this announcement that I pre-ordered 6 Predators.

Stay tuned sometime around March for a very exclusive Predator un-boxing.

Simple and cheap to make rings add an extra BAM to your costume, literally

Even if you are not that keen on Super Hero history, you're probably aware of the iconic Bams, Kapows and Kerplunks you have seen in old movies and comics.

To coincide with my Adam West Batman costume, I thought it would be great to incorporate these into the costume.

With just a sheet of laminated paper, a hair tie and some glue, you can make this awesome accessory in about 10 minutes.

Have a Batman costume and no utility belt? Might as well call yourself a commy

When you chose to dress up as a Superhero on Halloween or a costume party, the accessories are sometimes the most important part of the costume. Not to mention, the most fun.

Which is exactly why I put the strongest focus of my Batman costume on the utility belt, ala Adam West.

In the utility belt, (which is such a big deal it has its own Wiki page) items included can be a range of items such as Bat lasso, batarangs, Bat line, Bat Bombs, communications device, Batlight, grappling gun, smoke grenades, bat rope etc etc...

Important to note, all of these items require you say "Bat" before the name. For example, you wouldn't have a normal "lasso" on your utility belt but rather a Bat Lasso. Only reason for this is it makes it sound so much more bad ass.

The Google accessory is the biggest selling point of the new TVs

A few weeks ago, a new product called the Veebeam was brought to our attention and its just one of many new ways that your television viewing will be changing in the near future.

Enter Sony's new lineup of Google TV powered 1080p edge-lit LED HD televisions. Packed with four USB ports, four HDMI inputs and Wi-Fi capabilities that range in sizes of 24-inch, 32-inch, 40-inch and 46-inch.

But what's the difference between these new HD TVs and other TVs already on the market?

Simple, these are the first set of TVs that come with uber-exciting Google TV already installed.

Finally something that makes it easier to track our weight in an already obsessed skinny culture


What can an American culture use that is already so used to seeing perfect bodies photo shopped and splashed all over every entertainment medium we have?

Scales that update you constantly on your weight via wifi! YES!!

Honestly, I am one of those people who check my weight every day, sometimes more often. I try not to but it's easy to get caught up with how much you lose or gain everyday. With a gadget like this, I could see where some people would become obsessed more so than what is considered "normal".

But it does have some pretty cool features if you need to track your weight loss, fat and body mass index over a long period of time. The scale is able to communicate with iPhone apps like Run Keeper and Weight Bot or online sites such as Daily Burn. The scale can track up to 8 people in your household and even update your Twitter or Facebook accounts.

Because I really want my Facebook friends to know I scarfed down that whole pizza last night and now I'm 3lbs heavier? Don't think so!

Need a costume that won't require a lot of work or money? We got you covered!

Halloween is not the only time costume parties are held. But if your like me, you spend months planning for the holiday with a costume that is worthy enough to be worn year round.

The past couple years, my own Mario and Tombraider costumes turned out to be huge hits but the only problem with these costumes is that they take a while to create.

But many people are not as obessessed as I am with making good video game costumes and therefore the thought of picking out a costume is very daunting.

And so it begins....

If you are fairly new to the site, then you may not know my obsession with making Halloween costumes as awesome as they can be. Every year, I seem to step it up a notch in both my research but more-so with the amount spent on my costume. Sigh....

Last year, before Halloween even started, I knew that I was going to go as Batman this year. With the end of all my Fantasy Football drafts, its now time to focus on Halloween once again. YES!

Upon doing research on Batman's infamous utility belt, I came across the inspiration for this year's costume choice and that is Mr. Adam West. Some of you who are not familiar with the actor who played Batman in TV series back in the 60's, may know Adam West as one of the most underrated characters in Family Guy, the Mayor Adam West.

His comic genius far surpasses his time, especially in the best-of clip found that includes quotes that will be said at some point or another during the time wearing the costume.

Watch and enjoy a genius among men...Mr. Adam West
