Vice's Music Blog "Noisey" Invents The World's First Rap Based Board Game: Guess Wu?
Awwww Yeah.... Wu Tang Again and Again!!! We are suckers for creativity, and especially creativity that invokes our favorite rap group from Shaolin. So when we came across an article over at Vice's music blog Noisey about a custom version of Guess Who? that featured the members of the Wu and their extended family our attention was caught. Featuring box art and individual portraits by artist Dan Evans, the game works on the original premise of Guess Who? but with a hip hop twist. So instead of asking if your character guess wears glasses or if he has on a specific kind of hat, you might ask if he goes by the name Golden Arms or has ever had an album called Fishscale. This could make for hours and hours of Wu related fun... and lead to all types of expansion packs thanks in part to the endless supply of Wu affiliated rappers. Who wouldn't want to grab volume 3 of the game featuring Pop the Brown Hornet, Shabbaz the Disciple and King Just? The possibilities are endless. Lets just hope this becomes a "thing" and not just a genius one off by the Vice gang. If Monopoly and Life can get away with branded versions of their board games, why not Guess Wu? I would certianly buy it....

Vice and 'The Conjuring' Production Team Present: The 3:07 Project
There are so many cool things out there on the interwebs that sometimes things just go unnoticed by you no matter how interested you may be in the subject matter. I am a huge fan of horror films and love to follow my buddy John Squires on all of the various horror sites he writes for (Fearnet, Kumbaya, and especially his blog Freddy In Space!). But Johnny does so much blogging that sometimes things fall through the cracks. The 3:07 Project is one of those cases. The gang over at Vice teamed up with the productions team of this summers major horror hit film The Conjuring to come up with a short film series from some up and coming directors that focus around 3:07 AM... the Devil's Hour. For those of you who have seen The Conjuring you know that this time plays a prominent role in the story, as this is the time when supernatural and spiritual behavior is at its height. They didn't play no games, tapping four very talented directors to take on this subject matter. Nacho Vigalando (Time Crimes), Ti West (House of the Devil), Max Landis (son of John Landis, screenwriter of Chronicle), and Jason Eisner (Hobo with a Shotgun) all have their own short entry... and you can catch all four of them in one short 7 minute video after the jump. Let the creepiness role... I can't think of a better way to spend 7 minutes today, can you? Check it out after the jump...
