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.

Anyone who has played a First-Person Shooter (FPS) knows about the perils surrounding the fabled “rocket jump.”

If equipped with a rocket launcher, an individual can, if times properly, blast himself to new heights with the blast from the rocket. However, in about 99 per cent of the time, it ends in disaster (and there is usually an easier solution anyway).

But, what would a rocket-jump look like if it actually could happen? Videogame veteran and aspiring film-make Freddie Wong knows.

“These are not the posters you’re looking for…” But they are! Check out these minimalist poster interpretations of the original Star Wars flicks. Artist Andy Helms really captured the anticipation of battle in these prints for A New

Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Unfortunately these prints are sold out, but check out the art below and tell us what you think!

“Marty! Marty!” Looks like we’ll be hearing doc saying that and more quotes as it has been confirmed that Christopher Lloyd will be providing his voice. USA Today got a concept art (pictured above) and other details on Telltale Games (Sam & Max series, Tales of Monkey Island) upcoming game. Marty and Doc Brown will look like their movie counterparts and while there will be other returning characters, we don’t know if the any actors will give their likeness or voice. Series screenwriter, Bob Gale, is working on the story development of the game which is set for 5 episodic downloads.

Knowing Telltales history, I’m pretty optimistic as I have enjoy their past release and they are the king when it comes to episodic downloads. What do y’all think? Does any of these news excite you or are you still holding back because of the history of bad movie video games?

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.

It’s no secret (except to maybe you newbies) that we here at nerdbastards are super excited about AMC’s upcoming The Walking Dead series, based on the wildly acclaimed comic by Robert Kirkman. The comic itself is a rich, smart, character driven story about what happens when a group of people are forced to survive in a world ruled by the dead. It’s filled with great moments of suspense, psychological terror and gut wrenching loss. The live-action series is set to deliver to do the same. As a sign reassuring quality it is being produced by AMC, who are the fine folks that have brought us both Mad Men and Breaking Bad (best shows on televisions right now). That and the premier episode is being directed by Frank -FUCKING- Darabont (The Green Mile). Even if you have never read the comic or for that matter a fan of Zombies, this show is poised to rape your face.

Now, the premier episode hasn’t even aired yet (Oct. 31st Release) but AMC is sure as shit feeling confident that the show will be a success, as they have officially green lit a second season (Woo Hoo!). Although the first season will be 6 episodes, the second has been upped to 13; happily, there’s obviously plenty of source material for the show to work with

The AMC Television Series stars  Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually) Jon Bernthal (The Pacific), Sarah Wayne Callies (Prison Break), Laurie Holden (The Mist), and Emma Bell (Law & Order). The show follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home after a zombie apocalypse.

Mortal Kombat!!! Cue techno song. I’ve been a fan of the franchise since the Genesis days and knowing that the 9th game will be going back to it’s roots, just makes me a happy fat boy. In the video, we get co-creator Ed Boon talking about the history of the franchise and how they are changing things up for the new game. He admits that Mortal Kombat has had it’s bad moments but it seems that he and the crew are trying to make a legit fighting game this time around.

All I know is that spring, 2011 can’t come any sooner as I’m excited about the new fatalities, the X-ray focus moves, and the new story that is suppose to change the history of MK 1 to MK 3. How about you guys? Any of y’all excited about the game and if so, leave a comment on how you feel about the upcoming game.

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.

Ever wonder what’d be like if Full Metal Jacket was re-enacted with spot on Donald Duck impersonation? Me neither. This video is absolutely hilarious, plus it has some spot on voice on acting, with whomever does it. Just wait for him to yell out “Queers and steers!!!! Which one are you?”

The big news out of the week is that Diamond has decided to keep new comics shipping on Wednesdays. There was some talk about moving it, and now they’ve decided retailers can opt-in to Tuesdays, but Wednesday is still New Comics Day.

This is a huge relief to me as I’ve arranged my life for the last fifteen years around new comics on Wednesdays. It’s a great way to get through the rest of the week knowing that you have comics at home to read!

The full release from Diamond is here:

I hope everyone had a great time at Baltimore! A special shout out to my very good friends at COMIC ART HOUSE who were there. And a special fangirl squee to the appearance of James “I made empressith fall madly in love with Starman” Robinson. I wish I could have been there. Next year maybe! (Hey readers, talk Nerdbastards into paying for my tickets and hotel room!).

On to this week’s ship list:
