Sep 25 2009 Looks Promising: Halo Anime Series Preview
Here are a couple video previews of the upcoming Halo Legends anime series due out later this fall. I thought they looked okay. I mean, it's no Cowboy Bebop, but then again, THERE'S NO DOG NAMED EINSTEIN (I'm partial to dogs named Einstein, you see. Especially scruffy ones!). So yeah, what do you guys think? Excited? Indifferent? Would you rather watch paint dry? Or would you rather watch me eat lead-based paint chips? CAUSE I WOULD DO THAT FOR YOU!
Hit the jump for another one, which is mostly horn-tooting for the people who made it.

Sep 4 2009 Looks Breakable: New PS4 Concept Art
From Tai Chiem, the same designer who conceptualized last week's XBox 720 comes this PS4. And here I've been thinking it was a baseball cap glued to a coffee table. Silly me.
As the designer expects, the Playstation 4 will sport a high end touch screen rather than glossy body that the current generation gaming console sports. The CD ROM has a sexy placement and a gloss cover that can be customized would definitely be an added advantage, what say? Even the PS4 controllers are designed to perfectly match with the console and will sport a few touch screen options. From the images given, it seems that the gen next Play station will also have an embedded OLED screen, which makes this Playstation 4 game console here twice as cool as expected, right?
What's up with making everything out of glass? I've got news for you designers -- GLASS ISN'T FUTURISTIC. Self-powered rocket ships, those are futuristic. Glass is oldschool. As a matter of fact, one time I saw a glass bottle from the 1970's. That's before I was even born!
Hit the jump for several other renderings.
Aug 18 2009 Music Video: Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?
This is a music video for a song by The Guild titled 'Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?' And to answer your question, no. The Geekologie Writer does not do Night Elves. Dwarves, call me.
Thanks to Mel, who farms awesome like some poor saps farm WoW gold.
Aug 3 2009 Luke, I Am Your Hood Art: Darth Vader Car
Geekologie Reader Dustin, the same man responsible for spotting the Dagobah hump wagon a couple weeks ago, has had yet another Star Wars themed car drawn to him, this time a Vader Civic.
The Yoda Van and now this. I suppose all of the Star Wars cars in the universe slowly migrate towards me.
You might be right, Dustin. Also, I'm pretty sure this painting has cut the car's resale Force by at least a Skywalker arm. Oh, what's up with the custom license plate? STRW ARS? Your guess is as good as mine.
Thanks Dustin, and I'm glad to see you weren't driving and taking pictures this time. OR WERE YOU? You were!
*Please don't email me about the license plate. I get it, okay. But obviously, you don't get me. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE NOT DATING. I'm looking at you, Mr. and Ms. About To Send An Email Calling Me An Idiot.
Mar 15 2009 The Periodic Table Of Video Game Charcters
Wow, what a periodic weekend! First yesterday's table of typefaces, and now one of video game characters! WOO WOO! Hit THIS to see the thing in its entirety. So, what do you think? Personally, I think it's questionable as hell. It looks like they just threw characters into spots based on their names with no regard for valence shells or reactivity. Now, I hate to be a stickler for science, but why is Neon dry humping his bed's footboard?

Thanks to JJ, who's smart enough to realize Raiden and Kratos don't belong in the noble gases.
Feb 24 2009 The Whitest Kids You Know: Star Wars VII
This is a slightly NSFW (they say the f word a few times) Whitest Kids U'Know skit about making Star Wars VII with George Lucas. It was okay. I actually chuckled at one point around 2:35. But then I cried. Are you surprised at my tears, sir? Strong men also cry....strong men also cry. I just happen to cry battery acid mixed with snake venom. Makes a great stain-remover! So great, in fact, that the ShamWow douche will stop at nothing to get my secret formula. So you know what I did? I ShamWow whipped him in the face and it sucked his eyeballs out. True story.

Thanks to The Superficial Writer, who, despite his claims of moving on, was caught sobbing under his desk clutching a photo of Hayden Panettiere yesterday.
