AMAZING Rapture LEGO Build (With Insides!)

Bioshock's Rapture: hands down one of my favorite video game environments to date. "Do you hold hands and kiss a lot?" Dammit -- as in, 'to this point in time', not to wear my letter jacket, moron. This is an impressive build of the underwater city (complete with crashed plane!) by LEGOmaniac Imagine Rigney that was on display at the recent Brickworld convention. The outside is amazing, but if you're a fan of the game, or LEGO (or both!!!1), you've got to see the insides as well. I posted a couple pictures after the jump, but you should really, really, REALLY go check out the artist's Flickr page and see the high-res versions to do it justice. It even contains Sander Cohen and his creepy Quadtych masterpiece! You know, I really liked that guy alot. No -- loved. I never killed him on my first play-through and actually paused the game when I got to him on my second so we could be together forever. I'm serious, that's why I can't play my Xbox anymore.

Hit the jump for a couple more and another link to the artist's Flickr which also contains other amazing builds including Hogwarts, Howl's Moving Castle and Avatar.

Nice Moon Boots, Bro: The First Dog Fitted With Prosthetic Paws On All Four Feet

Seen here after successfully fetching a 20oz soda (God, get him a toy!), Naki'o shows off his moon-boot prosthetic paws. Naki'o is the first dog to have all four paws replaced with prosthetics, and refuses to let the mailman go easy on him. The sob story, which you might want to skip if you're an easy crier:

Naki'o was abandoned as a puppy when his owners left their foreclosed home. During the Nebraskan winter, he stepped into an icy puddle in the home's basement and got all four of his paws trapped in the freezing water. With severe frostbite, Naki'0 and the rest of his litter were transported to an animal rescue center. Veterinary technician Christie Tomlinson adopted Naki'o, and organized a fundraiser to pay for his two back legs to be fitted with the prosthetics. He came through the procedure so well that Orthopets decided to donate the remaining two prosthetic legs. The prosthetics are designed to replicate the muscle and bone structure of the dog's natural limbs.

BOOM -- happy ending. Now I don't want to go off the deep end about WTF is wrong with people who don't treat animals (and their allegedly loved pets) with any compassion, so I'll just say this: I will find you, and I will kill you. Also, when they start fitting dogs with rocket boots we've gone too far.

Now With More Special Effects: Staged Cosplay Fighting At Anime North Convention

Video editor Yung Lee went to the Anime North convention in Toronto and convinced a bunch of the cosplayers there to mock-battle him. Then he added some special effects (mostly a shit-ton of lens flare) and called it 'Epic Anime Time'. This is that video. Personally, I would've gotten drunk and actually fought all the cosplayers, but what do I know? I'm just a man who believes you don't need special effects when you've got raw talent a pint of bourbon in your stomach and are convinced a group of pocket monsters just called you Whiskeydick. OH ISH ON NOW, PROKEYMONS!

Doing It Totally, Totally Wrong: Updating Your Facebook While In A Standoff With The Police

Jason Valdez (whose Facebook profile you can view HERE to read everything that went down), 36, barricaded himself and his ladyfriend in a motel room after police tried to serve a felony warrant on a drug related charge. Then sat in the room for 18-hours providing Facebook status updates but didn't have the decency to write a Yelp review for the motel.

Utah police were involved in a standoff with a guy in a motel and he updated his Facebook status throughout the ordeal -- which ended with him shooting himself in the chest as a SWAT team raided the place (he's now in critical condition at the hospital, but expected to survive).


Many of the reports claim that it was a "hostage" situation, because there was a woman in there with him, but, if you read through the messages, it seems pretty clear that she was there willingly. The guy, Jason Valdez, even posted photos of the two of them and joked about his "hostage."

Listen dipshits (you know who you are) -- before this turns into the idiotic trollfest about race that I know you bottomfeeders are capable of, how about we like, not do that? I know it's not easy for some of you more short-sighted halfwits, but remember: the easiest things to do in life are rarely the best. Take your mom for example.

Sign Of The Times: Guy Updates Facebook Status During Police Standoff [techdirt]

Thanks to mud, who got on my jeans and now I'm gonna have to wash them despite only having worn them for a week.

Communist Statue Graffiti'd With Superheroes

A memorial to the commie 'liberation' of the country in Sofia, Bulgaria was recently defaced by anti-communist graffiti artists to include the likenesses of a bunch of superheroes (plus The Joker, Santa and Ronald McDongald). So yeah -- good lookin', guys, but it's still weird seeing Santa fighting something besides type II diabetes.

Hit the jump for a bunch of closeups, as well as a picture of the statue in its regular state, except for a chick painting a pecker on the dude in the middle.

Oh You Guys!: LEGOLand General Manager Pranked With LEGO Version Of His Volvo

When LEGOLand California General Manager Peter Rochetti came out to the parking lot to leave work for the day he found out his Volvo SUV had been replaced with a nonfunctional LEGO version. "Oh you guys! Are you guys messing with me again?! Because if I find out you actually sold my car and replaced it with a LEGO one I WILL F***ING FIRE YOU ALL AND BURN YOUR HOUSES TO ASH!!!! I think he had cocktails at lunch.

The blue beauty was made of 201,760 pieces of lego and weighed 2,934 pounds, reports the LA Times.

I love how he tries the door handle. Peter, please tell me you just wanted to see if there was an interior and not because you thought it was a real car. Because, I'm not gonna lie, that would be a bad sign for a guy running a multi-million dollar business. Also, "Don't bother coming to work tomorrow."
