New trailer for Alice: Madness Returns



Here's the third trailer for American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns (it ends fairly gory). It has a nice look, but I sure hope it's got a lot less jumping than the last game.

Saturday Night Live makes fun of Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark






Saturday Night Live featured an advertisement for a personal injury attorney specializing in injuries caused by viewings (or involvement in) Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. I love his suit and the list of possible claims at the end. Via.

So weird it's a little scary live news flub



Los Angeles CBS 2 News correspondent Serene Branson's report on the Grammy's went so awry that you have to fear for her health. (As far as I can tell, they're not mentioning it on their broadcast or website. Probably too interesting.) Via.

Per the comments, she's been hospitalized.

UPDATE: Or maybe just checked and sent home? Yeah, it's looking like it was not a stroke.

UPDATE: CBS news says she was simply examined at the scene and released.

More Volkswagen Star Wars footage



Here's more footage shot for the Volkswagen Star Wars commercial. It says "making of" but it's really just more footage of little Darth Vader adorably failing to use the force.

How Robot Chicken episodes get made



Nice, long video showing how Robot Chicken episodes get made (including Seth Green performing some Voltron gangster rap).

Also, here you can see Bridget Dash sculpting the Sarlacc Pit out of clay for the recent Star Wars episode:

Steampunk meets Sin City's visual style in the video by Soapbox Films for Ben Lovett's Eye of the Storm:

Wonderful video of a family-run maple farm



Really terrific video of a photogenic family operating their maple farm. It takes forty gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup.

I do not endorse this behavior....



But well, I might have laughed once or twice, especially when he set the guy's newspaper on fire...

Mimic octopus








The mimic octopus can swim like a fish, or bury most of its arms and look like a sea snake, or stand on its legs, or run on the ocean floor like a turkey, or puff itself up to double it's size, or change the patterns on its body, or...

Enjoy as Little Darth Vader attempts to use Sith Lightning on his dog, and suffers other humiliations, in Volkswagen's Super Bowl ad. (Good ad for Star Wars costumes, not so much for Volkswagen.) Via.

Popular tv shows, miniaturized











Lost, Breaking Bad, Mad Men and more as tiny dioramas by Steven Huybrechts. The video's NSFW on account of the Hung miniatures (and sound effects). Via these sites.

New DC Universe Online trailer



I'm assuming this is by Blur Studio - - watch In Lex We Trust, the latest DC Universe Online trailer. It starts a little slow, but makes up for that by featuring a futuristic Batman.

Relatedly, this is a fairly positive review for the game, especially the actual combat. It made the dual pistol character sound pretty cool, so I found a video showing off the acrobat's moves:
