The Dark Knight Rises is currently shooting in Pittsburgh, and the locals were treated to a close-up look at Tom Hardy in full Bane costume. Naturally, plenty of photos and even some video made its way to the internet.
Check out some footage from the set after the break, including video of a what appears to be a prison break scene and footage of a local pair of newlyweds who were allowed to check out the Tumbler.

It’s been far too long since I’ve played a tabletop roleplaying game. I miss Saturday nights spent with friends around a crowded table overflowing with caffeinated drinks, Chipotle burritos, and some noxious smelling but delicious chips. The food and drinks were stuffed in between dice, character sheets, pencils, graph paper, and the single calculator that everyone shared. Games would last until the early hours of the next morning, and occasionally I’d let my character suffer an injury so I could crawl into the corner and go to sleep. It was a singular yet familiar environment.
Our friends at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have developed a RPG series devoted to gaming night. They are known for blending perfume oils with exacting precision. They take their time and experiment. The end result is bigger than perfume oil—it’s experiences. It’s places. It’s RPG characters. Each person who rubs a BPAL oil into his or her skin will smell something different. That’s partially because of body chemistry and mostly because perfume oils shouldn’t be like a McDonald’s hamburger. They shouldn’t be the same to everyone, and the team at BPAL utilize their skills to customize the experience.

From Fashionably Geek: As principal photography begins on The Dark Knight rises, so does the viral marketing campaign. The blitz has begun with the first image of Tom Hardy in costume as Bane, which was revealed by playing a little Twitter game kicked off by a bizarre audio recording on the blank Dark Knight rises website.
Spectrograph analysis of the recording revealed the hashtag #TheFireRises, which generates an automatic reply with a link to this page, showing a Twitter profile mosaic that eventually becomes a clear photo of Bane.
I’m sure we will see plenty more marketing stunts by the time The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20th 2012.

From Fashionably Geek: Hasbro sent us one of their customary new product image dumps over the weekend, and after a bit of digging we discovered one particularly interesting product—the General Grievous electronic helmet.
No details have been released thus far, but it seems as though you’ll be looking and talking like Grievous in no time. Check out the packaging shot after the break.

You want to see something bat sh*t crazy? Check out George Takei in his “audition” for Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark in the video after the break.
The question is, would a one-man show featuring George Takei dangling in the air wearing a Spider-Man suit, fighting enemies and singing the Spider-Man cartoon theme song be more entertaining than the actual play?
Probably—either way you’d be watching a train wreck. At least Takei’s version would be funny.

Fashionably Geek readers and the internet in general had a lot to say about the new Wonder Woman costume, and by the looks of this photo it seems that someone at NBC was listening. No more shiny, candy hooker pants and the blue boots have gone to a more appropriate red color. Much better!

As we first saw with their World Time E-Ink watch, Phosphor is on the cutting edge when it comes to affordable watch design. The new Phosphor Appear (formerly the Phosphor Reveal) was no exception as it garnered quite a bit of attention when it was first announced thanks to its unique Micro-Magnetic Mechanical Digital (M3D) display adorned with Swarovski crystals.
So how cool is it up close and personal?
