Gnarcade is a short film -- a rap music video, really -- that mixes up 8-bit video game foes with competitive skateboarders and snowboarders. It was produced by Mike Benson of the studio Knife Show with music by Ground Up.

Superdouche!, a short film by Jonathan Emmerling, reminds us that there's a lot that Superman could do around the world, but he mostly just hangs around Metropolis solving minor problems. That's basically the point (and more) of Superdickery, an archive of Superman doing terrible things to his friends.

This appears to be an actual, real, and occasionally licensed product. In fact, there are multiple versions. Hooray!

What does it mean to smell like the Spider-Man?

Zelda on Paper, by EricPowerUp, is a stop-motion paper animation presentation of the Legend of Zelda narrative that gets increasingly surreal. I think that Luke Plunkett at Kotaku puts it best when he writes "Imagine, then, Zelda was born not from Nintendo but from a West German animation project in 1978, and this will look right at home."

The video is preceded by a short commercial.

King Henry IV (1553-1610) of France was noteworthy for ending the religious wars of Reformation era France through both good generalship and effective diplomacy, as well as opening French commerce in India. An equestrian statue of him graces the Pont Neuf in Paris. In a temporary art installation, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac added neon lights and a lightsaber. At the link, you can view more photos and a video.

The Rocket Propelled Chainsaw (RPG M1B). Just gaze upon its awesomeness. I don't know who's responsible -- apparently this design has been floating around the Internet for while. But I suspect that engineer and regular commenter Jeff the Baptist is responsible. This design just screams "Jeff".

The bayonet mount is a nice touch. A lot of people would think that the user of a rocket propelled chainsaw wouldn't need a bayonet. Those are people who have never fired a chainsaw in anger.

Omega Supreme was the largest Transformer from the 1980s. He was basically a transforming military base. One amazing craftsman made a custom, functional (in the sense that it transforms) model of Omega Supreme. It's huge, it's detailed -- it's on sale!

The bad news is that the opening bid at eBay is $3,000.

The good news is that Alex left the corporate credit card on his desk.

At first glance, you might think that this is a computer-generated rendering of Mario and Luigi. It's not; it's a photograph of a great work of papercraft by deviantART user Dan Hilse. They're 40 and 50 cm tall, respectively. How do you even build something like this? I wouldn't know where to begin.
