I simply can’t believe the toolbox you have stashed under your bed doesn’t already include this “must have” practical tool. It’s crystal clear to anyone that neither an electric nor gas-powered chainsaw will work underwater. Instead you need a compressed air-powered chainsaw. Thankfully Toolmonger puts the spotlight on just the thing. Ideal for “Left 4 […]
Ultimate X revealed as a hunter
Marvel have shown us the fourth and final shadow on the Ultimate X cover. That’s all of them now. I don’t have Paul’s brains to pick as to who these re-tooled heroes may be so I’m going to take the suggestions from ComicVine’s G-Man instead. Looks like Ultimate Liz Allen to me. Not much of […]

Zombie kitten death trance
Here’s a rather unusual music video from Cyriak. I’m into this for the animation only. Not sure I could listen to the music all that often but if it is your thing then you can pick it up here. I’m much more into the zombie kittens, drawn by Sarah Brown, which you can get on […]
Amazing new Left 4 Dead 2 trailer
This gory beauty is nearly 3 minutes in length. It’s not just the graphics and the new types of infected that this video hints at but also the story and the character’s personality. Unlike Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 is a linear adventure rather than four independant shorts. If you ask me the […]
