Over 100 People Storm A Mall In The U.K. For Epic Lightsaber Duel

On Saturday, February 13th, over 100 wannabe Jedi and Sith stormed Cabot Circus, a shopping mall in Bristol, England. The crazy part is, this whole thing was organized through Facebook.

This is probably the largest lightaber fight in history and it’s even more awesome because everyone else in the mall had no clue what they were about to witness when they woke up that morning.

The Awesome 80's Inspired Artwork of Michael Steele

I’d never heard of Australian artist Michael Steele before, but regular Albotas.com commenter and message board user Don Schwabs recently visted a Steele exhibit at Australia’s Gorker Gallery called Accumulating. Don puts it best when he writes “His works are made of pure awesome extract. They’re clusters of colour and show glimpses of all the cool shit from your childhood (well, mine and anyone else born in the 80s at least). It’s almost as if the little prince from Katamari has rolled his ball through my mind and picked up all the stuff I love then dumped it on canvas.

Go to any art shows lately? Know of any that are coming up? Why not share the awesomeness over on our message boards?

‘The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks’ Extended Commercial

I’ve watched this extended 60-second commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks 3 times in a row, and each time I found something new. As awesome as it is, it sucks that it’s gonna’ get cut down for TV.



Daily Graffiti: “Aint Play’n”

Don Schwabs aka the dude who made the Scribblenauts Munny aka the greatest Albotian who ever lived took this pic of some Nintendo inspired graffiti that he spotted near a train station.

Fucking awesome find, dude! I love the little mean face on the cartridge.

Is there any awesome graffiti in your neck of the woods? Why not send it in to brownkidd@albotas.com to be featured on Daily Graffiti? Seriously, stop keeping all the good graffiti to yourselves, you selfish bastards.

Sure! Why not? – Resident Evil Plush Grenades

takethat

Resident Evil felt hand grenades – not as effective as the real thing (or a zombie outbreak simulator), but still pretty awesome.

The guy who made these says:

Original plan was to use metal keyrings for the pull rings, but I wanted something I could safely hurl at the TV when stupid things come on.

This leads me to believe that this dude’s a huge pussy. Everyone knows that real men throw actual grenades at their television sets whenever they disapprove of lame and non-manly programming.

Flairs – Truckers Delight (Awesomely pervy 8-bit music video. Also, poop.)

Warning: this video contains large amounts of the following: cleavage, butts, buttsex, hippopatamus butt rape, tongue rape, anal inflation, poop, airplane rape, magical mustachioed boner faeries, semen, bukakke, shish-kabobbing, and awesomeness.

If this was a real game, I’d play the shit out of it.

Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Perin (Premiere Heure) who takes the song’s title (a tribute to those little pleasures that the lonely truck- driver indulges himself in) and takes it to the next level. Think Spielberg’s Duel + Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel’s wildest fantasies. All warped into an 8-bit Sega era style graphic. And this clumsy and somehow pretentious description doesn’t even come close to what you’re about to see: it’s très funny,très dirty, -très sexy. Très Flairs indeed.

Old NES Console Turned Into An Arcade Joystick

NES-Console-Joystick-Mod_1

This is the NESticle, not to be confused with the NES emulator. Aside from the silly-yet-awesome name, it houses working Sanwa joystick parts and works with the Xbox 360, PS3 as well as Mac, Windows, and Linux machines.

As cool as it is, I kinda’ wish it was facing the right way. You have to turn the console around in order to play it an everyone knows that staring at an NES’s ass isn’t as cool as staring at its frontal goods.
