RéJean is a wonderfully good concept artist hailing out of Japan.  I'm intrigued by the wide-hipped women and inky shading techniques.  See more of RéJean's awesome work here for the Deviant Art page and after the title link for the website.

Big Boi - For Your Sorrows ft. George Clinton and Too $hort



Here's Big Boi's latest video for his single "For Your Sorrows".  Featuring George Clinton and Too $hort, it's as trippy as you'd expect.  If Andre decides to drop his album this year, expect these two to have the best records out in 2010.

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass



OK Go consistently make some of the best videos but this one has to be seen to be believed.  They've mastered the longshot like no other band and the song is fantastic.  So many of the pieces are so clever and creative, you wish you were there when they were building it, or at least when they tried it out.  Via Video Static.

The Observatory - Killer Whales... uh, Kill

Killer Whale Attack The Observatory

Observations:

Are we seriously still on the whole Sea World fiasco?  Have we forgotten that the Earth has just been hit with two devastating earthquakes and that scientists believe America is next in line?  Perhaps our full attention should be directed there.  Of course we should be saddened by the loss of any human life, but it wasn't like she didn't know the dangers of working with a wild animal.  I mean, it is one of the largest carnivorous animals in the world. It does travel in packs.  It does live in an environment that humans do not.   It even has 'killer' in the name!

I am quite the fan of the cat before you for obvious reasons.  I am also incredibly impressed that someone can capture a photo so masterfully.  The photographer's name is woxys of the Czech Republic, and she is meant to hold a camera.  See more of her work after the jump (title link).

20 Badass Comic Book Heroes that are Cool on Purpose - #10

Batman badass comic book hero

Batman - born Bruce Wayne

Bruce Wayne is entirely human.  In fact, he's the only person on this list with no superpowers, and he's still a mainstay in the Justice League.  As a child, both of Bruce's parents were gunned down before him by a robber on the streets of Gotham.  In a vow of badassery, he swore to protect the people of Gotham from that ever happening to anyone again.

Korgoth of Barbaria



Rarely has there been a show so barbaric, violent and manly.  It is no less than a shame that this show was not put into full production.  If you somehow have not seen this pilot, you're in for a treat.  See part two and three below.

God of War III - Gameplay Trailer



The most badass game in history returns with the third installment.  I posted the first trailer a while back, but this one is composed solely of gameplay.  With this game, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain coming out, it looks like I'll need to get that PS3 sooner than I thought.
