Watchmen Babies In V For Vacation: DVD And Comic Cover
Click To Enlarge
Here are some goodies that you can print out on standard 8.5″ x 11″ letter paper. Click to enlarge, save to your computer, and print as-is (do not re-size). Cut out and insert into DVD case or affix to a comic book cover.
Above is the DVD Cover for Watchmen Babies In V For Vacation. It’s for the standard amaray case, but many DVD cases do vary in size. Apologies in advance if you have to undergo some trial-and-error and need to re-size. Didn’t bother with back art (didn’t know what to put there). If you want an authentic look, paint the spine blue to match what Milhouse was holding in the show.
Whatever you do, please DO NOT ask Alan Moore to sign this DVD case. You are jeopardizing yourself and more importantly me.

This is a comic book cover. Affix it to a comic book for a fake Watchmen Babies issue (you’ll need to sacrifice a comic book). Or you could just let is sit in an insert with a book. This is a PNG file, so you could enlarge it for a poster or use as a desktop wallpaper.
Other printable stuff: X-Men Diploma, Good Will Hunting Painting, and some Mouse Rat merch.
Note: Yes this blogger is back after a whopping 17-day retirement. There are several reasons for this, but mostly due to the overwhelming show of support that came in the form of emails, comments, and tweets. The recent closures of Rockstar Vancouver and Radical Entertainment (the latter being where I recently worked) also provided a lot of perspective - I really didn’t have it that bad. The Hockey blog will resume in the fall. It’s too scorching to think hockey here in Vancouver. I didn’t delete the “I QUIT!” posts, merely set them to private. Thanks again to everyone, I hope you enjoy whatever craziness I post for the foreseeable future.

You can buy a high-res poster here.
As promised, Montreal’s Metro map rendered in Super Mario 3 style. I’d like to dub this map trend as “Mariotography” if I may.
Special thanks to Chris Erb from Spacing Montreal for the translation and layout assistance.

Geeky TVs Part 2: Batman
Here is an industrial design for a Batman-themed television. It has a steel frame from which the screen hangs from, just like a bat. Read the rest of this entry

Geeky TVs Part 1: Iron Man
So I read this article at Forbes the other day (yes I read Forbes — it helps me learn big words) which outlined the decline in TV sales. It didn’t surprise me because modern TVs are made to last and just about everyone made the transition to LCD/Plasma/OLED TVs over the past decade because of their increasing affordability. Also HD was a worthwhile carrot (love how they tried to get us back to the trough for 3D TVs* - HA!).
I’m not a business or tech analyst, but I think there is one trait all TV manufacturers lack, and that is imagination. The cookie cutter appearance all TV’s have can be disposed of in favor of unique designs that represent the varying tastes and interests of consumers everywhere.
I believe we’re at that threshold where TVs have to diversify their appearance to encourage market growth, a tactic the automobile industry latched onto several decades ago. Functionality and engineering have been nearly perfected - it’s time for style.
Take this Iron Man design above. Definitely geared towards the comic book geeks, techies, film buffs, car lovers and so on - not exactly a niche market! If something like this were available, it might provoke some to think about getting a second (or third) TV, or to eschew paying rent for one month for a complete upgrade (let’s face it, we geeks are bloody impulsive).
Look forward to more TV designs based on films, comic books, and video games in the coming weeks. Check out this Star Trek TV from a while back if you like this one.
*That same article cited an increase in 3D units shipped, but no hard sales numbers. A 14% increase from what exactly?

The Versatile Bob-omb
This might give you some disturbing insight to my mind, but today I was installing the lights on my bike, I thought to myself: “You know what would be cool, is if they made blinking tail lights in the guise of a Bob-omb” Even just a flat disc-shaped version would be great.
