Cool Beans 9/2

So this week's Cool Beans was going to start with a hilarious video of a prank that Simon Pegg pulled on the cast of Into Darkness. Then Paramount was a bunch of dill weeds and pulled it.
But, the Internet is a big place. Enjoy

Continuing with the theme: hilarity in space.
Here is Space Drunk, the first alcohol inspired sci-fi flick.


Pax is over, but Rev3 is this releasing their coverage.
Which includes this pretty funny video featuring everyone's favorite question.


One of the coolest games that I saw from Pax is Super TIME Force.
A hyper-pixel Contra style game from Cappy.

Cool Beans 8/5

America isn't the only game in town when it comes to Super Squeal Syndrome.

I would actually like to see this, since I find international heroes to be really interesting.  

This might be an ad for the next iPhone OS assistant.
Also don't fuck your phone. Seriously, this looks like it might be pretty good.


The idea of celeb walking a con floor by incognito cosplay is fantastic.
Bryan Cranston even went to his panel as Walter White mask.
But check out Adam Savage rocking the floor as Ackbar.



Ever wonder what it;s like to work the customs desk in a 1980's dictatorship.
Wonder no more by playing Papers, Please.

Cool Beans 7/29

Freaking nerds, you gotta love'm.


I have have no shame about the fact I love Jackass. So to put it simply, I am super excited
that Knoxville will be up to some Bad Grandpa mayhem this october.



A comic about Brooklyn, how hip.
This is only a few pages but it does have promise in it's four color style.

Really cool interview with Alexey Pajitnov the man who helped us all improve our spacial
reasoning. If you love video games you need to take a moment and watch this.



Holy online multi-player Batman!
Just a quick look and run down of Arkham Origins multi-player mode.



Trask Industries - Solving tomorrows problems today.

Cool Beans 6/24

Conan ran the floor of E3 to find out what the next gen systems have to offer.
Conclusion, Booth Babes.


As some people might know the actor Jason Mewes (Jay) had serious drug issues for years.
This is an really cool short about part of his struggle based on one of Kevin Smith's anecdotes.

More Jason Mewes? Sure.
What if Batman and Robin were harder assed gun toting vigilantes?
And what if Jason Mewes was Vicky Vale?


So some big stuff happened this week as far as gay marriage.
I don't care what your opinion is, but I have to recommend this video, since I gaffawed at it.

Adam Savage sits down to palaver with David Chang of famed Momofuku.
This is a little bit on the long side but it is wonderful, inspiring, and full of MSG.


So I didn't notice this in the film myself, though I wish I had.
Yeah, they CGI'd a few frames of Christopher Reeves into Man of Steel.

Cool Beans 6/17

There Can Be Only HAN!
Nerdist is doing some Star Wars comedy shorts and this one is hilarious.


So Spock (Zackary Quinto) is producing an indie movie and it looks pretty funny.
Kinda mockumentary meets the Hangover.


This is a really amazing project that seeks to give access to the joy of games despite disability.
Some gamers may forget that we come in all shapes and it is encouraging to see work like this.


So I like this toss back to the days of VH1's pop up video.
Also I had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Hollywood is making a Brickfilm.


Wanted to touch on Mad Max for E3 week but it got lost in the mix.
So pumped for this because of the setting and it's not being tied to a movie. Which is good.

Cool Beans 6/10

SUPER FREAKING GIANT E3 EDITION!

This is all the crap that I thought was cool beans. So I thought I'd share it with you.
Be warned I like the Rev3Games team, Adam Sessler especially, so you'll have to deal.

Sunset Overdrive looks like Jet Set Radio and Mirrors Edge meets Serious Sam and BulletStorm.
It could be awful since we have no gameplay, but at least it isn't grey-brown.


The Division has my fancy tickled on the simple mechanics that they are messing with.
Most of all the team matching system.


Sweet mercy I wish I was ten years old so I would have an excuse to play with these.


Really I have no words for how much I want a Oculus.
Then I saw this build from the EVE Online Team and my words are now "GAH Oh My gibbidy."

Cool Beans 6/3

RED WEDDING EDITION

So if you haven't watched last weeks Game Of Thrones, you have only yourself to blame.
This will be a ***SPOILER FILLED*** Cool Beans.
BEWARE!

Okay so R.R. hit up Conan this week and admits that he just wants to have real suspense in his stories.



Conan pulls out reaction videos of the Red Wedding and  R.R. couldn't be more pleased.


Here is an awesome compilation of Red Wedding reaction videos step by step.
Or death by death I suppose.


Arya is freaking out man!
Maisie Williams Vine Upload Spoiler

Cool Beans 5/27

Now for something really touching Q&A with Patrick Stewart one of the best people who is an icon
of our community. 
 Boxes with cats in um, Qubits in superposition, Lockheed Martin's future war machines, and Google doing something...
Science!

In the strain of Game of Thrones Facebook, here is a Lanniter reality show.

Just insert me anywhere!
I have been enjoying the new season of Arrested Development and  Tobias insert videos.

Cool Beans 5/20

This life size X-Wing is nuts.
But seriously these LEGO sets are getting to be a bit too complicated and pricey.


Cops and Robbers. Well Lupin the 3rd and Detective Conan.
Both of these series rule. So why not have a team up.


You drink or you die.

So if you liked my Into Darkness review, you will love this io9 spoiler article.
SPOOOILERRRSSS!!!

Cool Beans 5/13

Get those Bat-Pasties Bruce cause it's time for a Arkham Tease.

(Totally no gameplay shown but I give no fucks!)

I like stop motion and Doctor Who.
(This makes me very happy and the officially dorkiest member of the cast.)
Can't say much about this, but if you don't watch Parks & Rec you should.

I know it's not a video, but it won't kill you to read this splendid interview with Mel Brooks.

Cool Beans 5/6

Yes consoles are like the Globe Theater and Games are Shakespearean plays.
(Not everyone is a Sess fan but I am so bugger off.)


Whoever had this idea may be the new Don Draper.


And now lets take a look at the successor to Eternal Darkness.
(Though it's not finished I am still a bit giddy.)


Happy belated May the 4th.

Cool Beans Week 4/29

Light up your pipe weed kids because Willie the Grey is here.
(How did he not get cast as Radagast the Brown?!)


So I have mention that toys in Japan and generally very unsafe. This one takes the cake.
(I really just want to know when they will be making this in adult sizes.)


Help stop this immoral holiday, and May the 4th not be with you!


So many ninjas! I am not even that big of  a Mad Wolvie-Berserk styles, but NINJAS!
(I really just want a Wolverine Origin Comic movie.)

Cool Beans Week 4/22

Well things got interesting at the Iron Man 3 red carpet when Yahoo! Movies interviewers ask a few fine questions of the nerd savior Joss Whedon. What we learn first is that the first Avengers 2 draft is done; Agent Coulson is in the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and him being alive will get explained; Tony Stark will be as "swaggerful" as ever; though most interestingly Avenger 2 will feature a brother/sister duo, which many as speculating are Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
(Holy crap holy crap holy crap!)


So this game called Dragon's Crown is being published for the US, and people are pretty upset with the character designs. Specifically those of the obtusely leggy Amazon and the prominent decolletage of the Sorceress. I would be surprised if not for two reasons, this is a ATLUS game and it is a Japaneses port.
(This is only one of the many strange things to come out of Japan's gaming market, DoA Volley Beach Ball anyone?)


History Rules, and raps about history Rule Even More! Epic Rap Battles of History is so worth your time.
(Check out the Tesla vs. Edison one too.)

Cool Beans Week 4/15

This is just nerd sauce all over the place.
(BTW If you have not watched Parks & Rec. you should.)


You won't get me monies this time Nintendo!
(Let the onslaught of weak 3rd Party games begin.)

Well two years later Nintendo is bringing their A-Game (really any games) to the 3DS
