Coming out this summer is The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. It\’s the classic original updated with hand-drawn graphics, voice acting, new interface, and re-mastered music. You can also swap between the new and the old version on the fly. The screenshots look pretty good. They stayed faithful to the original while modernizing the graphics.

These are awesome: Lego models of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim and Fallingwater. You know how on Lego boxes they have pictures of other models you can build with the same set? It\’d be so cool if an alternate model for one of these was a Taco Bell or something.
I hope they come with a Frank mini-figure too.

The 6 Creepiest Abandoned Places. My personal favorite is Danvers State Insane Asylum in Massachusetts. It was the setting for Session 9 and since then it was turned into apartments. Haunted apartments, presumably.

The trailer for Guy Ritchie\’s Sherlock Holmes movie is out. Looks interesting, I think. I always pictured Watson as shorter than Holmes though.

Awesome collection of game cover art done in the style of the Criterion Collection.

This guy made an awesome Wall-E computer case. He actually milled and lathed parts out of solid metal! Now that\’s dedication.
