The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum For The Criminally Insane - Lego Style

There are custom Lego builds... and then there are CUSTOM LEGO BUILDS. Xenomurphy is a Lego builder who has just completed one of the second ones, a Lego build that is about as epic as it could be. He has spent the last year completing a huge Lego build of the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane of Batman fame, complete with a courtyard and interiors that bring the building from the Batman mythos to life! Yup, a whole year... and not only did he dedicate himself to the epic build, he has provided the world with a free 80 page guidebook on how to replicate the build brick by brick!!!! That is right, you can build your own incredibly detailed Arkham Asylum, thanks to Xenomurphy's meticulous documentation. The pictures of this build don't do it justice, and the sheer fact that the build guidebook is 80 pages gives you a glimpse of just how much work went into it. You can see Xenomurphy's Flickr photostream with all the photos of the build by clicking here, and you can download the full 80 page build guide in PDF format by clicking here. Great work... check out a few images after the jump...


Thanks Joe Fletch for another great find...

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 27

Always on the look out for inspiring art... emblazoned across the chest of humanity. Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

**Please click READ MORE below..for Mo' Tees...Mo' Tees....Mo' Tees!**

'Return of the Living Dead' has got the evolution (de-evolution ?) of man down to a science. It's as simple as putting 1 foot in front of the other!

'Ninja Attack' excellent art style + Ninjas....need I say more?

'Le Petit Plombier' mashes up the world's favoritest little video game plumber with the world's most beloved little prince....to my delight!

My little China girl says ...sshhh oh baby, just shut your pretty mouth in this 'Kokeshi Doll Tee' 

Boo! 'The Neverending Story' mashes up the Pixar classic 'Monster's Inc.' with one of my childhood favorites, 'The Neverending Story'. Love a good-monster mash-up!

'Sally Quinn' seems to be infatuated with Linus' Joker in this Peanuts/Gotham mash-up. Why so serious!?

'The Rail-Splitter' suits the 'Great Emancipator' up in a mech robot for some clobberin' time! 

...and 'Arkham Zoo' has all the animals of the Asylum lined up for visitor's to see. I've seen this same bat-idea before but love this new bat-style!

Lock up your 5 year olds, when 'The Purple Dino Raged'! I'm no huge fan of Barney but I love this design and it loves me....we're a happy fam-i-ly!

'Beat 8bit' is another mash-up design I've seen before but never done this well. This one makes me wish the honchos over at the game studios that currently own these 2 licenses get together and make this tile-invasion a reality!

KA-BOOM! Here's a badass design that homages the great action film sequences of yester-year. Close your eyes and you can just picture Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Eastwood etc. doing 'The Walk Away' unscathed from this one! 

Finally this week we have yet another tie for my favorites.....

First up, it looks like Disney's opened the vault on another batch of their classic films that were taken off shelves for their usual 8 year hiatus....but this time these have gone rotten, zombie style, in the tee entitled....'Return of the Classics'

And last but, certainly, not least, 'Walk of Shame' kicks Smurfette out of the 3-apple high bed in the morning. That Papa kinda almost has a Quagmire-like grin to him if you ask me. Giggity Giggity! Get right in there, Papa! 

Til next time, tee-ny boppers! Remember to vote!

These Are The Titles These Video Games SHOULD Have Had...

One of the cooler sites that I peruse is Something Awful. Every Friday they do "Photoshop Phriday", where they pick one topic and people use Photoshop to edit the pics according to the prompt. This past weeks project was "What these video game titles SHOULD have been". There were a ton of them (click here to see them), but these were the ones I liked best.

Wii Fit

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Kingdom Hearts

Perfect Dark

Tecmo Bowl
