Superhero Optical Illusions

oi2

For every good, there is evil. For every life, there is death. And for every superhero, there is a villain.

Amazing artist Simon C. Page has taken the idea that heroes and villains are connected, and turned it into art using his own variation of the “two faces and a candlestick optical” illusion. The posters, which there are only three of so far, can be ordered through his website and would definitely look right at home on any fanboy’s wall.

Check out the posters below of Vader Vs. Luke, Spiderman Vs. The Green Goblin, and my personal favorite, Batman Vs. The Penguin.

The trick is, can you see both good and evil in the posters? Or just one?

United States of Star Wars Map

ussw-full

Star Warsfan Rebecca Crane found made a wonderful use of her spare time (which nerds seem to have an awful lot of) and created a map of The United States of Star Wars. Each state on the map represents a different planet/location from the Star Warsuniverse. Texas is Kessel, Oregon is Endor, Maine is Naboo…etc. Each state is based on similarities in geography as well as the type of people that reside there. Here is a little more info…

There are probably tens of planets that work for each state, I picked either the first one that I came to or the best fit.

Planets were assigned based on partial terrain, landmarks that correlate with the planet and state, types of people in the state and planet, famous landmarks, or slightly randomly selected (but loosely based on facts) from my brother and myself. 

In case you can identify all of the Star Wars States Rebecca made a list of what state corresponds with what planet. (AFTER THE JUMP)

TWILIGHT ZONE XXX

twilightzone

Another day, another nerd porn parody. With the recent success of Batman: An XXX Parody, The Sex Files: A Dark XXX Parody and other nerd inspired titles, the porn industry has found new ground in spoofing nerd/geek properties. Gee, who would have thought sex and superheroes would sell? Suffice to say, now that the nerd-porn spoof cherry (wow, say that 3 times fast) has been popped, a wave of nerd properties ranging from superheroes, the supernatural and Sci-Fi are are waiting or are in process of getting adapted. Superman and Stars Wars being ones we are looking forward to the most. One, of the latest titles, however to be hitting shelves is Paul Thomas’s (The Da Vinci Load‘The Twilight Zone Porn Parody’.

The Twilight Zone” explored a world of dark, sci-fi fantasies, often turning our understanding of the world around us on its head. Will Twilight Zone the Porn Parody do the same? From a story perspective probably not, but it’s sure to turn heads, one way or another. Will have to withhold our judgment until we see it (and see it we shall). Regardless of story, “The Twilight Zone Porn Parody” stars Kimberly Kane (of The Sex Files parody) and when Kimberly Kane is involved you know your in for a penis breaking good time. This bitch is HAWT!

The story-Set in a distant era of cocktails with lunch, and gender-specific roles, biblical virtue found itself being challenged by a couple of new neighbors, whose penchant for earthy carnal pleasures dominate the archaic and self-suppressing morals practiced by the rest of the town. In a quest to uncover the mystery behind the new family, known as The Stones, Kimberly Kane finds herself drawn in and seduced by the enticing and mystifying lifestyle known as swinging.

The DVD is out now and available for purchase here (Only$ 39.99) WATCH THE SAFE FOR WORK TRAILER BELOW.

Image Of The Day: This…Is…PAINTING!!!

painting

Sure this image has made it’s way across the net and may be a bit late to post, but I don’t care. It made me laugh and who knows, there may be some other folks who have the same stupid humor that I have. Just imagine if the gentle, down to earth Bob Ross (if you don’t know who is then YouTube the bastard) was this intense. He could have gone on saying how “this is a bush” and how “this is a tree” in some victorious manner. It certainly wouldn’t put you to sleep, which hearing Bob Ross’s soothing voice did quite often.

Star Wars Meets Winnie The Pooh

WTC1

A mash-up made in heaven, this is.

Artist James Hance has created one of the greatest mash-ups I have ever seen – putting together Star Wars and Winne the Pooh.

The cast shows Han Solo as Christopher Robin, Chewbacca as Pooh Bear, R2D2 as Piglet, and (my personal favorite) an AT-AT as Eeyore.

Seriously, I do not think these illustrations could be cuter if he tried. You will be glad to know that you can buy prints of all the illustrations for $10 here through his website.

Check out all the pictures located below, as well as his adorable little captions.

Blade Runner, Now In Convenient Video Collage Form

blade_runner

Sometimes you need to catch a viewing of Blade Runner, but dammit, you just don’t have the time. Well, clever cat François Vautier put each and every frame of the movie and made them into one gigantic mamajamma of a picture.

Then he put a virtual camera and panned all over it, resulting in a crazy acid trip that will make you want to reach for your multiple copies of the movie.

10-Foot Gundam Made Entirely Out of Left Over Part Trees

gundam-1

This hand of mine is burning red! Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory! Erupting God Finger!!! So yeah, G Gundam was my favorite Gundam series since it mixed shonen and giant robots together, which eventually led to me start building Gundam models. I was more into the Super Deformed set since it was more cartoonish and at the local Asian mart, it was the cheapest set available.  If I have one bad memory of building the Gundam kits were those annoying frames/part trees would sometimes snap under my chubby fingers and hurt me.

Well, it seems some people has found some use with those left over plastic parts and after 250 hours, they successfully built a RX-78-2 Gundam model (the one that Amuro Ray uses) that is about 10 ft. It’s very impressive that they built such a large Gundam out of those frames. Check after the jump for some more pics and imagine what you could built with left over parts.

Game Consoles Made From Cashews

500x_cashews

So wait… food, video games and saving the environment.  Sounds perfect right?  Well that is just the combination coming together in the creation of a NUTASTIC new bioplastic being developed by Japan’s NEC Corp. in order to make game consoles.  These bioplastic use renewable and natural resources such as vegetable and corn starch.  Now here’s the really cool part, it would be CHEAPER to produce!  It’s time to get REAL nerdy now folks as well as  show some love for those hippie-dippie vegan types out there…HERE WE GO!  Normally, bioplastics are unable to “take the heat” so to speak which would make them unusable in a situation like this or like in the scenario with the X-Box and “Red Ring of Death”.  However, NEC’s bioplastic is created from a by-product of plant processing of cashews, called cardanol.  Since 70% of this new bioplastic is plant-based, this means more heat resistance. Good luck trying to destroy our new game consoles Heat-Meister, you asshole!  Also, this new bioplastic will have both flexible and rigid parts (sounds like a bad date).  Although the product isn’t set to hit the market until 2013 it would still be pretty cool if this happens!

Big Giant Yoda Head Cake is Filled With Delicious Midi-chlorian Cream Filling

yoda1

Instructable user tchitwood put this amazingly detailed cake together. Man did they ever do a good job! My only gripe is that IT’S YODA’S HEAD! I would feel the same way about downing any extra terrestrials head! Shellac that bitch and put in on the wall!

This is what the artist had to say:

I’m an artist who recently has gotten into cake decorating and have fallen in love with it! I’m currently taking the beginner cake decorating classes and hoping to land a job at a bakery. I decided to try making my first sculpted cake and chose Yoda as the subject. It was so much fun and I’ve found my passion! This is a red velvet cake (with rice krispie treats for the ears) covered in fondant.
