Musical Taste’s Best Thing Ever: Girl Talk film Girl Walk: All Day
Last year, famed mash-up DJ, Girl Talk, released his latest album, the awesome All Day. Starting with Black Sabbath and Ludacris bleeding together, the album never lets up for it’s entire running time and promptly crashed his label’s server from the sheer volume of people trying to download it. Now, a full length film is [...]

Lincoln’s Link of the Day: Deku Tree of Life
As someone who is finally playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time now that it’s been released on the 3DS (shut up, I never had a N64), I must admit that this is awesome. I’ve played many of the great Zelda games: A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess…. and [...]

Trisha’s Quote of the Day: When in Philly, don’t be in Scotland
If the movie is set in Philadelphia, why aren’t you filming it in Philadelphia? Admittedly, when I visited Glasgow, one of my first comments was that it reminded me of Philadelphia. But even so, Philadelphia itself would be a better stage for a story supposedly taking place in the City of Brotherly Love. Besides, your [...]

Lincoln’s Short film of the Day: Portal: No Escape by Dan Trachtenberg
I was going to write a real article, but I got caught up watching Troll Hunter (It is awesome and doesn’t need the in-the-pipe American remake) so I guess for now we’ll all sit down and watch this fantastic short based on Portal.

Lincoln’s Video of the Day: Miles Fisher’s New Romance
Miles Fisher is an actor in the upcoming crap gore-fest Final Destination 5 and the intriguing J. Edgar. However, he’s also pretty damn good at parody. And as someone who grew up with Saved by the Bell and dislikes where modern horror is headed? I can’t recommend this video enough. (Via The Playlist)

Supreme Court FTW
There you have it folks. Video games are protected under the First Amendment the way books, plays, and movies are. Not to read too much into this, but essentially the Supreme Court has said that video games can be art, the same way books, plays, and movies can be. But maybe that is reading too [...]
