Looking good there, Natalie


It's official. Lightsabers make everything sexier. Not that Natalie Portman needs any help in that area.

Robin Hood? Guess Again.



'Sup, y'all? Let's start the week off right by stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor. At least, that's what Yoshimitsu and his clan does. He's from the 3D fighting game series known as Tekken, by Namco. He's even been drafted into Soul Calibur; another 3D fighting game series, also by Namco.

What's so special about him? Well, you'd have to at least play the games to appreciate him thoroughly but today, he's with us because he too has mastered the use of --you guessed it-- the Lightsaber.

Want proof? See him in action is this Tekken 5 combo exhibition:
Sadly, he's in an alternate costume that employs the use of a katana and not his usual Lightsaber, but he's an expert all the same

Star Wars vs Touhou



Darth Vader vs Touhou's Hinanawi Tenshi.

She seems pretty confident. I wonder what they're in disagreement about. Maybe knowing more about her would help but alas, I don't. However, if you do, please do share.

Also, if you know the fanartist of this image, lemme know so I can link to his/her site.

Lightsabers in Everyday use

Any one got a light?

Wait, nevermind...

Nice Guys Finish Last

This gif is probably older than the internet itself but what better place to repost it?

In case you've been living under a rock, the three characters you see here are Kyo Kusanagi [with the green lightsaber], Shingo Yabuki, [with the blue lightsaber], and Iori Yagami [the one playing the role of the Sith] from SNK's "King Of Fighters" series.

It's a story-driven fighting game where metrosexual flame-users abound. My favorite would be Iori. Why? Isn't it obvious...

Star Wars invades Soul Calibur


Soul Calibur IV hits home July 29th, but expect some uninvited guests. Touching down on 2 of this generation's gaming consoles [lol sorry, Wii], 3 Star Wars characters are added to the mix; 2 of the 3 you'll recognize, as they're legends in their own right. And the other? Well, apparently, he/she's a surprize; if you don't already know, I won't spoil it for you. Instead, just watch this trailer:


Better quality video available HERE

The Xbox and the PS3 are both getting different versions of the game; Vader will only be available on the PS Triple, while Yoda will only be on the Xbawks.
