Yup, that's right!

The formula goes something like this: crazy amazing "life painting" artist Alexa Meadex the genius idea behind Van Gogh Photoshop magicx some mad make-up skills= voilà, a living, breathing, hyperrealistic facsimile of our one-eared icon, Vincent.

The German police have their panties in a bunch over a highly inflammatory sculpture of a urinating policewoman by artist Marcel Walldorf. Entitled "Petra", the hyperrealistic figure depicts a female officer crouched, peeing with buttocks exposed. The most chilling detail is her riot baton casually propped on the wall next to her.

One normally thinks of porcelain as decor or dishware for ladies who lunch, but artist Jessica Harrison has injected a horror show twist into the traditional ceramic delicacy.

Taste of Beirut is one of my new favorite food blogs. Joumana grew up in Beirut during the sixties and seventies and her blog is a tribute to her national food. I saw this recipe for arak-spiked chocolate cake and thought it looked delicious!

What's better than a little dessert? A lot of dessert! Watch a quick-witted South Korean street vendor wow a set of customers by turning a solitary lump of frozen honey into 16,000 candy strings in a span of two minutes.

Elder Dragon Highlander is apparently a MTG variant which emphasizes big decks, playing with a variety of cards, and gives you free Legends. I have never played it and I love it already. This website will teach you how it works. Post your thoughts in the forum.

Amazing places to visit - which ones do you want to see, or have you seen?

We know you love Scrabble. What about booze? Combine the two and you've got Scrabble night at the Deyermond Art & Bookstore in Santa Monica.

Sometimes ads are good for something. Such as documenting every single batmobile EVER, and publishing as a massive infographic. Comic book nerds, rejoice:

Without Richard Channing Garfield the world would be a much grayer and less interesting place today, at least for all of us. He created Magic in college, playtested it throughout, accidentally found a publisher for it, and wound up the the most well-known and successful paper game designer in the world (sorry Guygax, make something new why don't ya?). He does not seek the limelight, has not had a snappy biography written about him (or his game, amazingly enough) and I thought we should pay a...

Joystiq reports, "Mattel is working on a board game adaptation of Rovio's mobile hit, Angry Birds. The game looks like a pretty authentic recreation of its source material; players draw 'Mission Cards' depicting structures of bricks and pigs, which they then build using plastic models included in the game. Oh, and then they shoot birds at those structures using a tiny slingshot."

Glacial Wanderer demonstrates how to build a high-speed air gap flash fast enough to capture a speeding bullet without it getting blurred. These types of flash units usually run around $8K+, but for a few hundred dollars you can build you own and capture sick stuff like...

You wind up with one set that can do things the others can't, forcing players to counter that set with other cards from it, and generally limiting the creativity with which one can effectively play the game. Playing these types of cards is like playing trap defense in hockey or boxing like Floyd Mayweather: you might win, but neither you, your opponents, nor the people...

I started playing MTG in 1994, the same year that the Fallen Empires set hit the market. It was, in fact, the first new set released after I started playing, making me one excited nine-year-old. I harangued my father, he took my friends and I to Gameworks again and again, and the booster packs started to mount. The problems only started to occur once we got them open.

Is an MTG game fun to watch? Is it fun to watch Internet videos of? As an online video professional, I take an interest in what is fun or not fun to do online vs. in reality, and so will post some different types of MTG gameplay videos to see if ya'll like 'em. Stay tuned.
