Meet Rick Genest, The Most Tattooed Man On Earth...

 

Even though this is an ad campaign for make-up, I thought my fellow nerds would enjoy it immensely. I recently caught the Keanu Reeves flick '47 Ronin' and was pleasantly surprised by the mystical kung-fu flick and what it had to offer. It was high action, a great story, and had some interesting characters... none more interesting that Rick Genest. He was great with all his tattoos, and looked awesome on screen. if you don't know, Rick is covered from head to toe in tattoos. They are mostly of the skeletal variety, leading to Rick being nicknamed 'Zombie Boy' & 'Skull Boy'. When some people see him all tatted up it may make them gasp and wonder what the hell is wrong with him. But makeup company DermaBlend Pro did not see it that way... they saw a great opportunity to use his tattoos as a perfect example of the age old adage 'You can't judge a book by it's cover'. They put Rick through a full cover up of his tats, filmed it, and then came up with a crazy commercial on just how amazing their makeup is. The resulting video was great... and proves the above saying to a T. It is pretty cool, so check it out after the jump...

So This Is What Waitresses Look Like In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

Chicks with tats are kinda hot. Chicks with tats that rock a Star Wars helmet to help move the monotonous work day along are even hotter. But chicks that compound that by wearing a galactic themed apron... now that is just wonderful!!! Click after the jump for the full pic...

I Always Knew That Dog Was Pure Evil - Duck Hunt IRL

I spent countless hours spring clicking the demise of helpless mallards in Duck Hunt for the NES. A simple game, but amazingly effective. How the hell did that gun thing work anyway? Apparently it will not work on the new flat panel TV's only on the old CRT models. A reason to keep those bad boys around. I still find myself learning new things about that game. For instance did you know if you plug in a controller the 2nd player can control the bird movement? OMFGTITMATIEH!!!! Click after the jump for more...




And I keep trying to kill that goddamn son of a banjo mother luvin dog.

STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!

So apparently, I'm not the only one who has been influenced by this 8-bit classic.

G4 has recently launched a films division and they've been doing a good job of presenting original short films with video game themes. For their "Epictober Film Festival" the entries have a horror theme. My favorite has been this very clever and well produced little Duck Hunt inspired bit of terror.

The Hunt...will leave you breathless........(or something)





Pretty awesome. I don't think anybody could take their love of Duck Hunt any further than tha....

...oh wait.
