Everyone has found themselves beatboxing under their breath from time to time.  The only problem is, only a handful of us out there are actually good at it.  Thankfully, INCREDIBOX has taken the fun of beatbox and removed any of the skill necessary to make it happen.

I was taken back to such videogames as Mario Paint and MTV Music Generator.  Enjoy wasting your time!

This just has to be seen to be believed…

Youtube user onebyonetv has created a fantastic interactive Youtube video detailing each currently announced fighters ultra combos. All you have to do is click on the fighter of your choice and a video will launch showing off their new ultra combos. Pretty cool and easy way to see all the new updates.

Really what more could you want. Luckily artist Patricio Oliver has delivered on all three fronts. His art is a fantastic pop art style and he has some fantastic X-men, He-Man and other super hero related art on his site, even some in the Bruce Timm animated style. So head on over to his site to check out his great work and much bigger copies of my two favorite pieces are below.

Now for me it will be none as I think the last baseball game I played was the fantastic slugfest. But if you are a baseball fan, there are some great options out there. Both MLB 10 and 2K Sports Major League Baseball 2K10 are both scheduled to be released on March 2nd and both games look great. But 2K10 is offering their fans quite the incentive to buy and play their game. 2K sports will be holding a contest that will reward the first person to pitch a perfect game, by May 2nd, $1,000,000. Yeah One Million bucks if you can pitch a perfect game in 2K10 Baseball. The rules aren’t fully available on their website on what you would have to do to do this, but I assume you would have to play against the computer on a certain difficulty setting and obviously record it for proof.

Now that is a nice incentive to buy 2K10, but in the past years MLB baseball from Sony has been stepping up their game in presentation and gameplay where 2K is no longer the king of the hill as both games have been getting similar scores in reviews. Below is a new video detailing the level of effort put into making MLB10 appear as close to watching a broadcast of the game as possible. It is quite impressive the way each player has their distinct mannerisms as well as how fluid routine plays look.

Well, here’s another time waster. If you’ve ever wanted Robin to say something to Batman that would result in him being smacked, now’s your chance to make it happen! The link below is for a Batman and Robin comic panel generator. Have fun.

At least according to his “official” twitter page he is. Yesterday a post on his twitter page, which is not ran by him but linked from his official website and newsletter, stated that Zach would be hosting on March 6th. Unfortunately at this time NBC has not made any formal announcements about hosts that far in advance but if this is true, it should make for some interesting TV. I’m not sure how Zachs humor would transfer over to sketch comedy but I’m sure it wouldn’t be that bad. I still enjoy SNL so it’ll be good to have another good host after this weeks horrible selection of Ashton Kutcher (what does that guy do no anyway besides star in camera commercials with Fisher Stevens)

How often have you looked at those amazing NECA TMNT figures and thought to yourself, “Man, if I only had a Triceraton figure to go along with these guys!”? Probably, like, every day, right? Well, so did the customizer known as Pock63 over at Figure Realm, who made this massive 10″ custom Triceraton warrior figure.

Maybe some day, after NECA gets around to releasing those Foot Soldier and Shredder figures that they showed us 2 years ago, we’ll finally see a Mirage-style highly-articulated Triceraton.  Until then, however, it’s up to resourceful customizers like Pock63 to give it their best.

From Pock63:

Body: Meistro Hulk with schulpted armor
Arms: Meistro hulk with schulpted gloves and tooth picks fore the spikes on his left arm.
Legs: Grey hulk legs with schulpt added to exstend the pants leg I also added schulpt to make the skin match meistro hulks skin
Head: Schulpt
Tail: Mcfarline toys figure
Belt: Batman pouches, LCBH Ripclaw belt, unknown grenade, gun in holster sawed off the lege of mcfarline toys figure.

I spent a lot of time schulpting the armor and head on this guy. I changed the design of the chest armor a bit but appart from that I stuck pretty close to the design of the old figure. The head was a pain to schulpt but I think it turned out pretty well.

Well, it’s officially over.  Whew!  The thing Apple has been working on for almost 10 years has finally been shown the light, and it’s called the iPad.  I followed the whole thing from Gizmodo’s live blog of the event, so thanks for the pictures!  I have to say right off the bat, that I’m mildly disappointed with what Apple has cooked up.  Now, once I lay my hands on one it might be a different story (just like the iPhone…) but this thing is essentially a large, beefed up, iPod Touch.  No magical new user interface, no support for using more than one app at a time, and no curing cancer!  Sounds like I hate the thing right?  Well….no, I don’t.  I just wasn’t very impressed.  Apple wanted this to be a device that fits between their computer line and their iPhone/iPod Touch lines.  To me the iPad isn’t that device.  It’s a suped-up iPod Touch that will be easier to use for things like editing documents and reading.  Maybe in a few months when apps start appearing for it, it could be a different story.  A decent version of Photoshop could be a killer app on the iPad.  So we’ll see.

I see this as a step forward for personal computing, just not the “walking on the moon step” that the hype had led up to.  I see the iPad murdering the Kindle and any other eReaders out there due to the iPad being able to do so much more for not that big of an price increase.  Oh, yeah…the price.  Starts at $499 for a 16Gb version.  32GB will run you $599 and 64GB comes in at $699.  Add an extra $130 if you want unlocked 3G connectivity, and Apple has worked out a special data deal with AT&T for monthly rates.  Jobs says it will be shipping in 60 days (90 if you need the 3G version).  Hit the jump for the rest of my impressions and more pics of what they showed off.  Again, thanks to Gizmodo for their live blog coverage and pics!

Louis C.K. is by far one of the best stand-up comedians out there right now and has been for decades, showing his fantastic skills off in many HBO stand-up specials and his HBO show Lucky Louie as well. Since the cancellation of his HBO sitcom, Louis has continued his stand-up routine with all new material that will lead to the release of his next stand-up concert film “Louis C.K. Hilarious”. Hilarious debuted at Sundance this week and of course has been getting stellar reviews. On top of the news of his new stand-up film, FX has just picked up a full season order of his new show “Louie” which is set to debut over the summer or next season to run with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Is it just me or is FX becoming an actual good network to watch with Louie, It’s Always Sunny and Archer). I can’t wait for this new special and TV series and to tide you over until then as well, check out the below video by Louis about promoting his new show (keep in mind the video is very NSFW so watch at home or have your headphones in)

A few years back when Kick Ass was in development, Mark Millar held an auction on his forum site (sign up and talk about stuff here) that allowed the winner to be the star of Kick Ass. Yes the main character in Kick Ass, Dave Lizewski, is the real name of the guy that won the previous auction and is now immortalized in a comic book, toy and upcoming movie. So now you have your chance to do the same, this time with Nemesis. Mark Millar is auctioning off the rights to name the protagonist police officer in his upcoming comic. You can choose whatever name you would want if you are the winner of the auction which goes to benefit special needs children over in the UK. For your chance to have your name carved in pop culture history, check out the ebay auction right here.
