20 Badass Comic Book Heroes that are Cool on Purpose - #11

The Hulk - born Robert Bruce Banner

If there's one certainty in the Marvel Universe, it's that you don't fuck with the Hulk.  Abide.  Bruce Banner was one of the first freak accident superheroes in history.  During an experiment, he was exposed to an absurd amount of Gamma radiation and somehow lived.  The resulting after effects created an immensly powerful alter ego within him named the Hulk.  Most people know that Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk when his heart rate rises too high, so pissing him off would be a death wish.  Most heroes have arch nemesis', Hulk however is such a badass, the entire military is after him!

The Vice Guide to Liberia

I've been quite the fan of VBS TV since they debuted Shot by Kern, photographer Richard Kern's online web series.  I saw part one of The Vice Guide to Liberia on Wine and Bowties a while back and now have finally watched the entire thing.  A must see.  Follow the title link to see it in its entirety.

Rhymefest - Exodus 5.1

Rhymefest is one of those criminally underrated MCs out there.  I mean, the guy already has a Grammy for his work on "Jesus Walks".  Check the video to hear some of the deepest rhymes I've heard in a while.  Via Kanye's Blog.

Men You Could Learn From - Brock Samson

Everything about Adult Swim's Venture Bros. is awesome, but Brock Samson is especially so.  Other than having the only cool mullet on earth, he is also an O.S.I. agent with a license to kill.  He wields that ridiculous bowie knife because he refuses to use guns.  Yeah.

Whip ass.

Brock routinely kills people who attack the Venture family. Fighting should not be a common occurrence once you're an adult (unless of course it's in your job description). The times that it does come to fighting though, no one should ever want to test you again. Learn to throw a punch. Every guy should take some beginner's boxing lessons or martial arts to have at least a basic understanding of defense. You never know, you might be really good at it. Don't kill anyone though.

Test Your Might - Jim Bathurst Men's Health "How fit are you" Competition Entry

Men's Health Contest First Submission - Click here for another funny movie.

I've been telling my friends about Jim Bathurst over at Beast Skills for the longest.  He's a two-time winner of the Men's Health "How fit are you" competition.  Do you know how insane that is?  Here's the video that one him the first one.  Clapping handstand pushup?!  Are you serious?

Demotivational Poster - Cowboy Wizard

No disrespect.  This is actually the unbeliveably talented country legend Leon Russell.  He performed with The Zac Brown Band who killed it tonight at the Grammy's.  Zac Brown somehow did a face melting solo on the acoustic guitar.  Yes, acoustic.  Sick.

I made this one.

See ya Space Cowboys...

Pink's 2010 Grammy's Performance

I was still blown away by Pink's MTV Awards perforamce so to see this as a follow up is absolutely amazing.  She is definitely one of my favorite performers... and she's singing live!  Amazing.

roblfc1892

roblfc1892 is a photographer/artist hailing from Croatia.  His photography is mesmerizing and his trippy artwork is just as good.  Versatile and creative, there's lots to see on his Deviant Art page after the jump (title link).

Demotivational Poster - Retarded Basketball

Posts have been slow because I've just undertaken the gargantual task of increasing the size of older videos and photos on the blog.  They were a lot smaller before the site change so it's taking me quite a while to get them uniform with the rest of Cool on Purpose.  I'll trade you this insensitive demotivational poster I made for your forgiveness.  You're so understanding.

I made this one.

See ya Space Cowboys...

Shaun O'Neil

Shaun O'Neil is an impressive American artist with a unique style and eye for cool.  He pencils both unique and recognizable characters in dynamic poses that capture the eye.  Sweet.  See more of Shaun's work at his website (link in title) and at his Deviant Art page here.

Nubian - Rise to the Top

By now you should know not to sleep on Nubian.  This song goes ridiculous hard and is Nubian's follow up to "Body Language".  Expect to see his album drop February 7th and take over.  I have a small cameo in the beginning as the engineer.  I'm always working... even in videos.

20 Badass Comic Book Heroes that are Cool on Purpose - #12

Dr. Manhattan - born Jonathan Osterman

Dr. Manhattan is the star of what I consider the best graphic novel of all time (Watchmen), and possibly the most powerful being in all of comics.  After a freak accident with an "Intrinsic Field Subtractor", Dr. Jon Osterman was transformed into a blue-skinned being with no finite limit on his powers.  He was actually seperated into billions of particles during the accident and put his self back together.  Talk about will power.  Explaining his epicness in my own words will not do him justice.  Rather, I'll enlighten you with the most epic quotes ever spoken from the doctor himself:

"I feel fear, for the last time."

Livewire - Snow 2010

I've posted Livewire's exploits before on Cool on Purpose.  His handstand skills are absolutely otherworldly... even in snow.

50 Video Games that are Cool on Purpose

I’m sick of all these bullshit lists that so called “video game websites” are putting out. Have they forgotten what a good game is? Here is the definitive list of 50 games that are Cool on Purpose.

50. Forza Motorsports (Xbox 360)
49. Mario Galaxy (Wii)
48. Indigo Prophecy (Xbox)
47. Contra (nes)
46. Matrix: Path of Neo (Xbox)
45. Call of Duty (Xbox)
44. Star Fox (N64)
43. Max Payne 2 (PS2)
42. Ninja Gaiden II (nes)
41. Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate (Sega)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

The first Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was pretty awesome.  With a few improvements it could've been one of the best games of the year.  Now Lucasarts is at it again with the second installment that hopes to be better in every way.  The trailer looks dope so we'll see what happens.  Shouts to Sponny for putting me up on this.

Leslie Ann O'Dell

What a terrific photo.  I'm curious to know how long it took to get this brilliant shot fittingly titled "Yin and Yang".  Leslie Ann O'Dell is an Oregon based photographer with a penchant for capturing cats (with the lens) among other things.  She also does photo manipulation and traditional art.  See more at her website (title) and her Deviant Art page here.

pac23

What can you say?  Cool.  It's great when you find an awesome artist who also colors so well.  The gallery on pac23's Deviant Art page (title) is filled with more drawings like this and colors of other dope pencilists.  Check it out after the jump and be amazed.

Cigo Man Band

Ingenious!  This guy is a brilliant street performer in Croatia who goes by Cigo Man Band. Just singing and playing the guitar is a masterful feat, but adding in harmonica, a back bass drum and a slew of other instruments out of a fairytale and it wavers on the impossible.

Thor - born Thor

Thor is a god.  Awesome.  He is the son of Odin, ruler of Asgard.  Thor's well known for his ridiculous hammer Mjolnir.  He's the only one who can lift it (except for Hulk and he even struggled) because of enchantments cast on it by its creator.  He stands 6'6", 640lbs (his skin and muscle tissue is extremely dense).  However, in an effort to teach Thor humility, Odin sent him into the body of a handicapped medical student on Earth (down grade).
