Sometimes you feel like you’ve seen everything, and then you browse Etsy. HellsProps has fashioned a replica of the combustible lemon from Portal 2. The prop is Aperture branded and makes explosion noises. Alas, it doesn’t actually blow up though. Too bad. Oh, and don’t worry about the lemon rotting; it’s made from plastic and polyurethane.
Check out a video showcasing the lemon’s finest features after the break.
I think we’ve proven in the past that superheroes shouldn’t have social media accounts. This is especially true for Batman and Superman. The following video is yet another example of why you should unfriend those dickholes right this instant.
Surprisingly, permission was actually granted for a student to build this wooden reproduction of a Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) in woodshop class. When I was in shop back in the day we only got to make boxes and benches – what a gip.

Put the snowball in the cup, pull back, and watch your snowball soar over the fray and find your target. With a Snowball Launching Crossbow in your arsenal, you will always dominate any snowball battle.
On Wednesday, Boom! Studios will be launching the first issue of the new Adventure Time comic book series by Ryan North and artists Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb. To celebrate the release, BOOM! is offering readers a preview of the issue’s backup story, “My Cider the Mountain” by artist Aaron Renier (Spiral Bound, The Unsinkable Walter Bean).
Check it out after the break.
The first full-length trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man has arrived (maybe Sony didn’t want to spend Super Bowl money on it), and it predictably paints a new, more modern picture of his origin story. Beyond that, it doesn’t really feel all that different than previous Spidey flicks. In other words, we haven’t seen anything yet that has convinced us that this franchise was worth rebooting.
Check out the trailer after the break, and let us know what you think in the comments and/or on Facebook and Twitter.
Ever since Lego announced they had the Lord of the Rings license, fans and hobbitses have been eagerly awaiting news. What will the first sets be? There are so many options. Well, thanks to the Slovenian Lego forum Kocke Klub, we may finally know. The image was taken in a private area of the Nuremberg Toy Fair, and if it’s valid we’re in for a treat. It looks like we’ve got Sam and Frodo battling Shelob, the fight between the Nazgul and the Fellowship on Weathertop, Helm’s Deep, and something with a cave troll. It’s probably a scene from the mines of Moria. Ahhh! I’m making room on my shelves now.
Check out an additional image after the break.
A fanatical Hunger Games fan that goes by the name V. Arrow put a ridiculous amount of thought and effort into mapping out Panem’s 13 Districts (click to enlarge). Her process is outlined in the aimmyarrowshigh LiveJournal—and she makes a compelling argument.
She’s also got a book in the works dubbed The Panem Companion: An Unofficial Guide to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games. Seems like it would be the companion book to have because V. Arrow clearly knows her sh*t.
