The Walking Dead Monopoly And RISK

What? No TOP HAT? I refuse to play unless I can be the magic hat. Carl's hat is okay, I guess but I will be the phone that Rick listened and talked into to but was never hooked up. Some very detailed pics of both games after the jump... so what are you waiting for???

My rules for The Walking Dead version of RISK are the same for regular RISK. I have NO FRIENDS when I play this game. I will lie to you. I will make deals with you that I have no intention of keeping. I will use you to do my dirty work. Then when you are at your weakest I will crush your armies, take your cards and forget you ever existed. You will cry. I don't care. And I will tell you all this BEFORE we start playing so if you start the game, be prepared to face the consequences of your foolish actions.

Adventure Time Monopoly

I am completely ODing on Adventure Time Season 1 on Netflix, so when I came across these cool ass sketches from artist Steve Wolfhard (the storyboard artists for Adventure Time) for game pieces for an AT Monoply set. He didn't even know that the actual game was going into production and then he found out that not only did it come out, but they used 5 of his token designs for the game. I love this show, and might have to grab this Monoply. If you really like AT as much as I do, subscribe to Wolfhard's blog because he always puts up tons of cool related art. Check out the original sketches after the jump...

The 'Make Your Franklin' Project Lets Artists Redesign The 100 Dollar Bill

This is a very cool communal art project that allows artists from around the world to recreate America's 100 dollar bill in a way that they feel is better served then the old Ben Franklin. The results were amazing and very representative of the many walks of life that the artists come from. You can see all of them by clicking here. Here are a few of my faves. If only our money really looked this cool!!!

The Roof Is On Fire!!! by Wasted Rita/Puerto Rico

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

Spring has sprung and I could use a few new unique T-Shirts to really make a statement without saying a word. A Statement like "I'm a geek that doesn't take much of anything seriously...I'm approachable and easily abused." 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.

'Island Vacation'- LOST homage disguised as a vintage vacation t-shirt?! I'll take 3!

'Rebel Scum Dogs'- Han & Greedo, face off once and for all, to decide who shoots first in this Star Wars/Reservoir Dogs mash-up!

'Frog Girl'- Reminds me of a special frog princess, and myself. I'd love to get it for her for our Disney Road Trip of 2011

'Recessionopoly'- Since I started this post, this one actually got the votes it needed to become a bonafide Threadless tee! I'm posting it anyway because pairing up my favoritest board game ever with a horrible time in the U.S. economy is financial genius!...I'm a large by the way ;)

'Jedi Bug Zapper'- ZZZzzAP!

'Back to the Jurassic'- This one is for my boy, Glenn. I'm sure he'd find a zillion reasons why a 'Back to the Future 4' in the vein of Jurassic Park would be a Hollywood disaster. I'd argue that, if done correctly, this would make a great place (time?) for Marty and friends to land the DeLorean....but as a simple tee? A stroke of genius worthy of Doc Brown himself!

'Anti Genetic Engineering'- Simple...it was the contrasting title that sold me on this one, though.

'Papa Smurf the Barbarian'- I saw this one and imagined it would be a great on real-life Smurfologist and friend of CCD, Matt Murray, as he debated the fine art of Smurfery with his peers. Heck...if he don't rock it, I wilst!

'Disintegrator'- (pewn..pewn!) Reminds me of what Vader told Boba Fett..."...no disintegrations!"

'AT-ST'- The birth of the 'Chicken Walker'

'Le Bouquet'- Sadly, scoring on this one has ended. Too soon to tell whether it's made it to the big leagues but I still love it's 'assassin with a heart' spirit which reminds me of the film 'Leon: The Professional' a bit. Classy!

'Walk Like An Egyptian'- Star Wars meets Camel cigs in this fun and iconic mash-up.

'Abduction'- The purple (my fave-o-rite color) is what caught my on this this piece first...but, ya gotta love a good alien abduction...even when they're snatching up whales!

'Sharkquestrian'- This one is just completely f*cked. I love it! Killer!

'Han Deckard'- I'd have called this Handiana Deckjolo but, the artist hit his mark with this Harrison Ford iconary.

'King Louis'- The Orangutan emperor of Disney's 'The Jungle Book' is getting his just desserts in this mash up with  his historical french counterpart. This is the one I'D rock on our Disney Road Trip of 2011 if I could. 

See how the last bunched fared in this Link to previous installment of 'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!'
