Fangamer EarthBound Fan Bundle: This Merch Stinks

Posted on 29/10/2014 by Lambert Varias

… and if you didn’t get that reference, this is probably not for you. Video game merchandise store Fangamer is raising funds on Kickstarter for You Are Now EarthBound, a collection of artworks made by and for EarthBound fans. And yes, it will have scratch-n-sniff cards.

You Are Now EarthBound has four main parts. The first is a handbook for the game, which will be presented as a travel guide to Eagleland. It will be at least 250 pages long and will be filled with trivia, fan-made illustrations and the aforementioned scratch-n-sniff cards.

Then there’s the Psychokinetic album, which is filled with covers of songs from the EarthBound/Mother series.

There’s also a similarly titled fanzine filled with more fan-made illustrations and writing. You can preview the magazine’s content here.

Finally, there’s EarthBound, USA, a documentary about a group of fans who helped make the game and the series popular online.

Withdraw from the nearest ATM then pledge at least $128 (USD) on Kickstarter if you want to get the whole You Are Now EarthBound collection. You’ll also get a Nessbot flash drive for your support. If you can pledge at least $256 Fangamer will also give you a yellow backpack filled with Eagleland trinkets in addition to the collection. You can also get digital copies of the collection on lower reward tiers. And in case you didn’t know, you can get EarthBound on the Wii U via the Nintendo eShop.

7 Marvel Superheroes With Their Own Comic Book Cereals

Posted on 07/10/2014 by Ehud Riven

Not that we need any more advertising and brand placing in our lives, but this idea of using Marvel Superheroes (and one lovable movie villain) like Iron Man, Thor, Captain American, Loki, Hulk, Groot and Deadpool on cereals boxes is incredibly cool.

The combination of Bamboota and Elliot Fernandez brought together this wonderful project, taking a very needed spin on the boxes of morning cereals.

Iron Man (Iron Bran)

Comes along with Pepper Potts, the mandarin, a lot of money and also a potential drinking problem, not to mention the Nick Fury eye patch.

Loki (Loki Charms)

Comes along with a depress Thor and also one awesome staff among other things.And speaking of his bashing brother…

Thor (Honey Nut Thorrios)

Comes along with his Avenger friends, including the useless Black Widow and Hawkeye. Ther Mjolnir as well, if you’re worthy of picking it up.

Deadpool (Deadpools)

As expected from the Merc with a Mouth, this box comes with things that go Boom!

Hulk (Gamma Snacks)

If you get these gamma snacks, you’ll also receive a Loki with a black eye, one solemn Nick Fury and maybe Gamma radiation, which usually isn’t a good thing.

Captain America (Ameri-Crunch)

You’ll be filled with Red, White and Blue emotions after biting your way through this.

Groot (Groot Loops)

How a well made film made a tree and a raccoon incredibly popular.

Posted on 17/09/2014 by Ehud Riven

While the filming of the fifth Game of Thrones season continues, someone is also working on the sixth book, although he’s taking an awfully long time doing so.

7 Artworks of Frozen as a Tim Burton Movie

Posted on 12/05/2014 by Ehud Riven

The world still hasn’t gotten over the awesomeness of Frozen, but could it have been even better? Maybe not not better, but certainly different, if a filmmaker such as Tim Burton, with a unique and very different style to this specific Disney flick, would have gotten his hands on it.

Elsa & Anna

Who knew two sweet princesses could make a catchy tune and playing with ice into such a creepy, nightmare-inspiring moment?

Just Anna

It seems that Anna had quite a lot to drink the night before Elsa’s coronation.

Anna & Hans

A very charming prince with 12 older brothers, but behind the quite handsome and pleasant mask, there’s a devilish villain no one expected.

Just Elsa

Her hair was tidier in ‘Frozen’.

Olaf, Sven & Trolls

A talking snowman? Rock-Trolls? A moose that seems to have a bromance with a human being? That’s weird, but the Tim-Burton style makes it even weirder.
