The Amazing Cinematography of Arcane – A Tribute to Visual Storytelling

Arcane

Few shows have redefined the boundaries of animated storytelling like Arcane. From its breathtakingly detailed environments to its emotionally charged character expressions, every frame feels like a painting come to life. Now, after years of anticipation, Gamerstrix brings us an incredible video that highlights the sheer artistry behind the series.

The video is a labor of love three years in the making. Gamerstrix began working on it shortly after season 1 was released but chose to wait for the continuation of the story. The result is a comprehensive appreciation of every shot, scene, and sequence that makes Arcane a masterpiece. Be sure to check this one out!

Happy Trekmas (Peace And Long Life) [Video]

Happy Trekmas

The holiday season just got a warp-speed upgrade! John Lennon’s iconic “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” has been reimagined in Star Trek: The Original Series style, thanks to a fun montage by Youtuber John C. Worsley. Check it out below!

John has also created numerous other holiday-themed Star Trek videos! I’ll include some of my favorite below for your viewing pleasure!

Hilariously Adorable Hand-Crocheted Yip Yips Pouches

Carissa Browning crocheted these geektastic stockings basing herself on the hilarious aliens from Sesame Street. Unfortunately, they’re not available for sale, but if you know how to crochet or knit, the patterns are available for free on her Ravelry page.

The spaceship has landed, and any fan of late 20th century children’s public television will recognize these lovable aliens.

Crochet them or knit them, use them as holiday stockings, toy storage, kids’ laundry, whatever really!

You should also be prepared to play with ping pong balls and pipe cleaners, and do a little light sewing.

Stay Metal, Stay Dry: The Pit Diaper Rocks the Mosh Scene

The Pit Diaper

The mosh pit: a sweaty symphony of chaos, flying bodies, and questionable personal space. But nothing ruins your groove faster than the urge to purge. Do you abandon the pit to wrestle with mile-long bathroom lines, or do you just clench and pray? Liquid Death and Depend say, “Why choose?” with the revolutionary Pit Diaper, you get a backstage pass to leak-free moshing.

Pit Diaper: Closeup

This isn’t your grandma’s diaper—it’s a hardcore, fully loaded solution for fans who just can’t hold back. Powered by Depend Guards, the Pit Diaper handles human waste like a pro. It locks it down tighter than a drummer’s double kick and neutralizes odors faster than a metal vocalist can scream “YEAAAH!”

Style? Oh, it’s got it in spades. Crafted from cruelty-free pleather and endorsed by metal drummer Ben Koller, it’s as legit as the pit itself. You’ll stay dry and rock steady, no matter how hard the breakdown hits.

Why risk slipping on mystery liquids in a bathroom that looks like it’s seen more action than the tour bus? The Pit Diaper lets you go with the flow without ever leaving the chaos. Supplies are limited, so don’t let this opportunity leak away. (Update: it’s now sold out, but I suspect it always was.)

Nanowar of Steel Drops “HelloWorld.java”: The Ultimate Anthem for Metalhead Coders!

Nanowar of Steel

When the worlds of power metal and programming collide, the result is a glorious cacophony of riffs, rhythms, and… syntax errors? Nanowar of Steel, Italy’s masters of comedic heavy metal, have struck gold (or perhaps Java) with their latest single, HelloWorld.java. This isn’t just another metal anthem—it’s a love letter to programmers and a parody of the genre’s serious side, wrapped in headbanging hilarity.

And the music video? It’s a source code video! Yes, you read that right. As the song thrashes along, lines of Java code fill the screen, seamlessly blending programming logic with metal lyricism. Perfect for coders who can’t resist a good loop—or a powerful guitar solo. Check it out!
