If ever there where a reason to run out and buy an iPhone/iPod-Touch then this is it. Digital Jokers and Mayhem Studios are summoning the terror Cthulhu from his abysmal slumber and dropping him right into the palm of your hand with the iPort of The Call of Cthulhu: The Darkness Within.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. The Legend of Neil is a Zelda spoof on Atom.com, where a slacker finds himself stuck in the world of Hyrule after blacking out in the midst of debasing himself. This is Episode 2: First Blood, for more fun with Neil check out episodes 1 and 3.

The moral here kids is if you’re gonna do that sort of thing, make sure you have a spotter.

• Weta is releasing a series of sculptures based on the Halo universe. They all look very snazzy, like the above photo featuring the 25 century’s odd couple, Master Chief and the Arbiter. Weta is also auctioning four one-of-a-kind silver statues to celebrate the occasion.
• In movie news, fans of the Harold and Kumar films might be happy to note that a third film is in the works. via
• Fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show will likely be dismayed that MTV is remaking the beloved classic, using the original script, and some songs that had been cut from the film some 30+ years ago. via

It was just announced at E308 that Xbox and Netflix have formed a—long rumored—partnership that would allow Xbox Live members to use their consoles to view Netflix’s “instant view” titles through their dashboard. One word, two syllables: HOORAY!!!

That’s all I had to say, now get back to work slacker.

Here’s a couple videos for your viewing pleasure. The first one is the spoilerific new trailer for Lucas Art’s latest attempt to milk the Star Wars franchise, Force Unleashed. So far, everything I have seen about this game is awesome, and this trailer is no different.

Next up is the recently leaked trailer for the film adaptation of Max Payne, starring Mark Wahlberg. 9 out of 10 film adaptations of games generally suck, but Max Payne actually looks like a pretty good film.

***EDIT***
Bungie just posted this video of a real Halo fanboy.

mmmmmmmmm, This is the first in-game footage of Gears of War 2 to hit the intertubes. This looks even more bad-assed as the first Gears of War.

For a list of what makes this footage awesome, check out 360 Fanboy’s post.

The great time change is now upon us, hazah! For most that would mean an extra hour of sleep, but for me this means that it’s 6 a.m. and I’m steadily on my way to my third cup of coffee. The problem—if you can call it such—is that I awoke from one of those awful high school flashback dreams where you are running late for school and you haven’t even started your big homework project. Those dreams are too messed up to even consider going back to sleep. So, I get up, check the clock which reads 5:30-ish which sounds reasonable enough to me. I plod downstairs and turn on the coffee pot on my way to the office where I discover upon juicing up my mac that it is actually 4:30 (not 5:30) a.m.. Well, it’s too late now, the coffee’s on and besides all those people I’ve mentally suppressed are waiting to get me back in dreamland, so here I am…
