The BioShock Infinite Songbird In All Its LEGO Glory

by Amy Ratcliffe on June 19, 2013

bioshock lego songbird 1

Songbird isn’t your everyday sort of bird. The 60 foot winged creature is Elizabeth’s guardian in BioShock Infinite and is intertwined in the story. It’s something to be scared of in game, but in Lego form it’s easier to face. Seeing it in bricks doesn’t make it any less impressive though – I’m just not worried about it pecking out my eyes.

Builder Imagine Rigney constructed the custom Songbird in just six days! The Columbia set featured in the picture will be expanded on, and the finished project will be shown off at Brickworld Chicago 2013.

Check out more images of this beauty after the break.

These Stencils Are Rainbows That Lead You To The Dark Side

by Amy Ratcliffe on June 19, 2013

All the colors of the rainbow suit Sith Lords and bad guys. DeviantArt user jarbid took art of Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and Boba Fett and created some colorful designs. The vivid hues jump out and slap you in the face – but in a good way. I love these images on the black backgrounds; I’d absolutely buy any of these designs on a t-shirt.

The Periodic Table of Muppets was designed by artist Mike Boon to include not just the Muppets, but all of the people who are Muppet-adjacent. This means you’ll have every Muppet, even the forgotten ones, as well as the Muppeteers who brought them to life. All the colors and eyes even match their people and Muppets! You can pick this up as a t-shirt or even a print to hang on your wall.

LEGO Death Star Trench Run Stays On Target

Experiencing the Death Star trench run in real life would be too scary for me – narrow roads are bad enough. Lego is a much safer way to experience the epic battle over Yavin. Flickr user Abathar photographed this model of the rebellion’s turning point, and it’s epic. I especially like how the ships are on sliders you can move around for reenactment purposes.

“Geekery” Becomes An Official Word In The Oxford English Dictionary

by Nicole Wakelin on June 19, 2013

diction

A word isn’t really a word until it appears in the dictionary, and thanks to the Oxford English Dictionary, “geekery” is now official. They recently decided to add “geekery”, “tweet”, “e-reader” and “dad dancing”. Tweet actually breaks the dictionary rules since they usually require ten years of use to be considered. I guess they don’t see twitter disappearing anytime soon. Still, geekery seems to be the biggest of the bunch in terms of what it means to the world of geekdom. Wait, is “geekdom” a word because when that’s in the dictionary we’ll know we have truly arrived.

Have you ever wanted to stick your hand into the Sarlacc Pit? I’m guessing you haven’t – regardless, it’s a thing you can do. DeviantArt user pandacatification knitted this hand puppet for a Star Wars contest. The Great Pit of Carkoon and the Sarlacc that resides within are overlooked all too often. The five tentacles go over your fingers like a glove. Just think about how much you could torment your friends!

If you can’t resist the Sarlacc’s charms be sure to visit the DeviantArt page – it’s available to purchase!
