Kids these days…

The Onion

Australian TV seems to be filled with penis talk this week. Earlier this week we had Belinda Heggen’s backhanded compliment of Mark Aiston’s hangdown.  Today, the cast of Today can’t seem to escape the blackhole of on-air double entendres, much to the delight of my 12-year-old sense of humor.

The trailer for Techland’s FPS zombie game Dead Island is everywhere, and for good reason.  It’s better than most of the movie trailers I’ve seen so far this year.

The game is slated to be released some time this year.

From Jeff Wysaski:

Like most guys my age, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes religiously. It is by far my favorite comic strip of all time, and I still enjoy revisiting it from time to time. Unfortunately, author Bill Watterson was notoriously tight-stringed when it came to releasing licensed material of good ol’ Calvin and Hobbes. While this is mostly for the best, I can’t help but think that the strip and video games are a match made in heaven.

As such, I took it upon myself to create a mockup for the game that an entire generation wishes was real. Ladies and gentleman, here is the Calvin and Hobbes NES video game that never was.
