Karl Urban has been confirmed as the new Judge Dredd.  No word on if Rob Schneider will return.  ( empireonline )

7 most horrifying museums on earth.  Thank you for the nightmare material.  That’ll be all for today.  (cracked)

This is a 10 minute video of gameplay from Team Fortress 2, documenting one of the online players freaking out.  At the 3 minute mark, he’s already managed to fire off 100 “fucks”, amongst other bizarre and hilarious banter.  It’s hard to decide what’s funnier: the words he keeps making up or the fact that he plays like someone who has never played the game before.  (kotaku)

“Look at me, Damien! It’s all for you.”  [jumps off roof, hangs self].  Seriously, check this kid’s scalp for numbers.  I think Joel Silver just died and inhabited the body of an 11-year-old.  (todaysbigthing)

A new Terminator movie!  A new 3D, animated, PG-13 Terminator movie!  Great.  (gammasquad)

We all wish our lives had soundtracks (…don’t we?), and this list provides the perfect songs for the perfect moments of your life.  Like, for example, when you’re traveling through time.  (thesmokingjacket)

Is Mad Men the new Saved By the Bell?  Yes.  Yes, it is.  (thesmokingjacket)

Some dad stole his sons videogames and sold ‘em for drugs.  But to be fair, the kid did break a lamp running through the house.  (withleather)

The health benefits of bacon, an inforgraphic.  (medicalbillingschool)

America’s best ice cream shops, you say?  Okay, I’m listening…  (yahoo)

6 amazingly high-tech anicient weapons.  Turns out the Greeks invented the light saber.  Jay kay!  (cracked)

The top 1o worst Bear Grylls meals.  #1 is probably who cares.  (askmen)

WARNING: these scarification pictures are fairly graphic and something you would see in a Clive Barker novel.  But since a majority of them are geek-themed, I included ‘em.  Don’t say you have been warned.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go eat a big bowl of spaghetti with extra sauce.  (holytaco)

Funny sign juxtapositions.  C’mon, you’re telling me the landscapers weren’t aware of what they were doing?!  (uproxx)

Comic Book University.  An imaginary world filled with all the classic characters and twice the sexual promiscuity.  (collegehumor)

What America loves!  Strangely absent from the list: xenophobia, bad news, ieverything, complaining, and ridiculously fatty foods.  (yahoo)

Please don’t beat me up, please don’t beat me up… The 20 most effeminate photos of The Expendables cast… please don’t beat me up! (manofest)

8 most badass plants in video games.  Personally, I think the perennial sowthistle, or Sonchus arvensis L., native to these Illinoisan parts, is pretty badass myself.  But what do I know?  I’m just a good ol’ country boy.  (ranker)

50 scariest movies of all-time.  Finally, a list I can get behind!  #1?  One Night in Paris.  (complex)

So the Improv Everywhere crew pulled some more hilarious public stunts, this time including grafitti.  Look, I don’t mean to sound bitter here, but I did this exact same thing 8 years ago — a time before it was “the thing” to film yourself and post it all over the internet for cheap, instant gratification — and I’m proud to say my little stunt made the front page of the local paper.  I can’t tell you how many “views” that equals out to, but I’d say at least 60,000.  So suck my dick, Improv Everywhere.  And suck my dick doubly, internet.  (urlesque)

A list of each star from The Expendables, and his best and worst role.  (screenjunkies)

7 terrible pizza innovations.  Oh come on, nothing can ruin a pi–holy fucking shit.  (holytaco)

A cat in a bathtub full of beanbag stuffing.  Awwwwww, it’s so cute when he eats it!  (youtube)

Some authentic mugshots from the 40s and 50s, and the stories behind them.  It’s like a Richard Stark novel…only real!  (smalltownnoir)

And lastly, “The Gathering” (of the Juggalos) was this weekend, not too far from where I grew up, and apparently all hell broke loose (gee, really?)  One guy got stabbed; but shockingly that’s not the big news: Tila Tequila, known for being a vapid waste of space, was pelted with rocks and (literal) shit when she took the stage.  And documenting it all?  Tom Green, of course.  (thedailywhat)

It was 41 years ago today that we landed on the moon.  It was an unprecedented achievement, a landmark in American history.  So how fitting that on this anniversary, another great American milestone passes: Lindsay Lohan is going to jail.  God bless America.  ( examiner )

The Goon is being made into an animated show, and it looks awesome.  Not to mention it’s being produced by David Fincher!  A win-win for everyone!  Yay America!  (iwatchstuff)

10 fictional pieces of technology that have actually been invented.  Anyone know where I can acquire one of those invisibility cloaks?  I have some girls locker-rooms I have to…do research on.  (unrealitymag)

I’m not one to make posts about pretty girls/hot girls doing everyday stuff.  I think those type of posts are pointless.  However, these ladies are eating donuts.  And you know how much I love donuts.  So, here are some girls eating donuts.  (uncoached)

Sam Raimi has added another film to his “to be directed” queue, and not surprisingly, it’s not another Evil Dead film.  (comingsoon)

16 worst video games based on comic books.  I think they’re being a little harsh on the ol’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  (popcrunch)

Jim Carrey, finally freed from the pseudo-Christian Scientific tyranny set forth by an entitled ex-Playmate, is set to star in some comedy that allows him to overact, once again.  Larry Charles is directing it, so it could be comedy gold.  (deadline)

5 things that changed the world due to ridiculous decisions.  Some of these had positive effects, some devastating.  But all of them are guaranteed to waste your time.  (cracked)

And lastly, the biggest box office disasters that were hyped at past Comic Cons.  Hey Hollywood, you wanna prevent your movies from losing so much money?  Stop giving them such big fucking budgets, you stupid pricks! (io9)

Just like the headline says, the demo for Madden 11 will arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360 next week on the 27th. This free demo will be much better than any past years as you will be able to play a full game of 5min quarters instead of the usual half with 2min quarters. The only downside I see is that you have to play as the Colts or Jets, but what can you do I guess. By giving users a full game …

Madden Demo
Just like the headline says, the demo for Madden 11 will arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360 next week on the 27th. This free demo will be much better than any past years as you will be able to play a full game of 5min quarters instead of the usual half with 2min quarters. The only downside I see is that you have to play as the Colts or Jets, but what can you do I guess. By giving users a full game to play, it will give you plenty of time to try out the new free flow gameplay that basically makes calling plays on the fly the standard as you will not see your usually big playbook to flip through, although that option is still available to players. EA Sports has also released a full list of team ratings for this years game, I’m happy that the Chiefs aren’t the worst in the game but were pretty close (it does make sense when the best rated player on your team is your punter though). To view a list of individual player rankings for your team, head over to ESPN.com Player Rankings Page.

Team Rankings
Madden 11 is set to be released on PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 on August 10th.

Yes!  They’re bringing Beavis and Butthead back to T.V.!  Now every time I laugh like Butthead after someone says something vaguely suggestive, it will once again be relevant!  ( nypost )

I’m Still Here , the documentary that follows Joaquin Phoenix’s burgeoning rap career, is coming out September 10th.  Out of respect?  We’ll never know.  But this …

I’m Still Here, the documentary that follows Joaquin Phoenix’s burgeoning rap career, is coming out September 10th.  Out of respect?  We’ll never know.  But this movie, if it lives up to the hype, is going to be awesome.  But I would have titled it Joaquin On Sunshine.  (filmdrunk)

Here’s your first look at Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds as The Green Lantern.  (popwatch)

Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk?  Sure, why not.  All you need is Zooey Deschanel as the heroine, and Arcade Fire providing the soundtrack and you’ve got your first superhero indie flick.  My fingers are crossed!  (deadline)

So apparently the Westboro Baptist Church is going to be protesting the SDCC.  You know, the “God Hates Fags” people.  It doesn’t matter why because it won’t be logical or sane in any sense of the word.  But if I see any of these crazy fucks, I will terminate them with extreme prejudice.  You don’t mess with the nerds.  They’ve been persecuted far too long.  (blastr)

Speaking of idiots, the Army was so thoughtful enough to whip up a comicbook detailing homosexuality and respect while in the service.  Because being gay affects the ability to pull a trigger, apparently.  Won’t you be glad when the world ends in 2012??!  (eptc)

Steve Carell and Paul Rudd talk sports, and it’s the only time I’ll ever listen to anyone talk sports.  (totalprosports)

Did you know Chuck Palahniuk got his idea for Fight Club from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?  Well, he didn’t really.  But it would appear there are some similarities…  (youtube)

This is the first time I’ve ever gotten nauseous using a search engine not looking at German pornography.  I present to you, The Revolving Internet.  At least the soothing sounds of Dusty Springfield help a little.  (therevolvinginternet)

5 “bitter” truths about chocolate.  Haha, get it?  Hey, wait a secDon’t you DARE bad-mouth my beloved chocolate! Oh, wait — haha!  See what I did there?  Mouth?  Chocolate?  Haha, let’s be friends.  I have some wine coolers in my fridge.  (cracked)

These are handwritten notes.  But not just any ordinary handwritten notes.  These are funny.  Seriously though, can you believe how funny I am sometimes?  I mean — mouth, chocolate — you get it, right?  (manofest)

Oh Mel Gibson.  Yes, we all love blowjobs, it’s true.  What is sweeter than honey and stronger than a lion?  A blowjob, of course.  But none of us have so much at stake, as you do.  So if we demand them from a loved one in a voicemail, we’re not risking losing our 800 million dollars.  You poor, ignorant racist.  Once again, a mighty god has been felled by a blo-jo.  (asylum)

Swearing on T.V. is okay now, apparently.  Fuck yeah.  Swearing on the internet has been cool since it started, bro.  (iwatchstuff)

I’m glad Old Spice is getting the respect it finally deserves.  I’ve been wearing this shit about 13 years now, and I’m relieved to no longer have to defend why I smell like someone’s father.  (oldspicevoicemail)

Check out these water slides.  I say this should be the next Nerd City trip.  Guys?  (popularmechanics)

T.V. series you might not have known were remakes.  Suddenly Norman Lear doesn’t seem so prolific.  (pajiba)

6 weirdest video game tie-ins.  I forgot all about the Cool Spot.  You knew he was cool because of those sweet shades he was wearing.  (dorkly)

And lastly, a recipe for “flourless banana mish-mash muffins”.  GET IT?  Seriously, throw me a bone here.  (caloriecount)

3D PS3 Sepetember
In  a recent technology event held in London, Sony senior director Mick Hocking stated that the PS3 would be able to handle 3D movies with a firmware upgrade this September.

In September this year, we’re launching another Firmware upgrade – and this one is going to upgrade the PS3 to support Blu-ray movies in 3D. Again, you won’t have to do anything – just connect your PS3. For the film market that’s a very significant event.

A few weeks back the PS3 began its support for 3D gaming, so it is good to see that the movie support will be coming soon…even though most thought it would be here already. So you only have 2 more months to buy your 3D television and expensive 3D glasses if you want to enjoy 3D movies on your PS3.

Since there was news of a Rare made remake of Goldeneye for Xbox Live a while back, fans of the original N64 shooter have been waiting for it’s release.

Since there was news of a Rare made remake of Goldeneye for Xbox Live a while back, fans of the original N64 shooter have been waiting for it’s release. Well that never came through due to rumored issues with Nintendo and how the rights were held, but that didn’t stop the rumors of an eventual release. A few months back there was word of a possible remake for the Wii, which would place Daniel Craigs Bond in the Pierce Brosnan role but the game would be a direct remake otherwise. Today footage was found that adds quite a large amount of fuel to the rumor fire and with E3 kicking off today Activision could have a huge official announcement of this soon. My thought though is it can look and have the same story of the original Goldeneye game, but if it doesn’t play as well it will not be able to replace the original.

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!

The rights are up in the air right now due to the Activision/Midway sale last year, so there is an easy possibility that this game could get made.

Well not officially, but according to ESPN.com EA sports is looking to reboot the franchise on the Wii console. The rights are up in the air right now due to the Activision/Midway sale last year, so there is an easy possibility that this game could get made. In the past years there have been many NBA Jam clones (NBA Street, NBA Hoopz and NBA Ballers) but none have really come close to the excitement of the original NBA Jam series. So here’s hope we get a new version, and as stated in the ESPN article, the creator of NBA Jam Mark Turmell has been hired to do the relaunch. Of course this is all rumors right now, but if it comes out and I can play as Bill Clinton or the Beastie Boys then consider it sold.
