This one took the internet by storm last week, but if you didn’t see it, you missed a viral classic. The Muppets perform the Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody”

This isn’t the first crack at Muppet Music. Weezer featured the Muppets in the video for “Keep Fishin” which you can watch HERE. Universal disabled video embeds, but if you got to this website you know how to click a link, so just click this link.

Big Lob, a character depicted in the infamous 1987 animated G.I. Joe: The Movie, is finally arriving in action figure form. The crowd goes bananas!

He was a character that spoke in sports metaphors and gave play by plays of his every move. Big Lob was never intended to be a toy and was invented solely for use in the movie. His name has popped up a few times in comic stories since then, but his only meaningful appearance was as a new recruit in the war on Cobra-La.

The GIJOE Collector Club is offering its members the figure as a free perk, provided their membership remain active by March 16, 2010.

While there have been many advances in the design and technology of 3.75 inch figures in the past 20 years, I have to give credit for assembling Big Lob using vintage tooling. Yes, that belt line has a mighty O-Ring beneath it, meaning he’ll fit in with any other Rawhides you’ve got in your collection.

DC Universe classics is a hard enough line to collect without having so many store exclusives! I delve into some of whats available now at a few retailers, but if you can’t find the figures featured in this review at your local big box, theres always the amazon links below. Happy Hunting!

And that’s what a UNICORN is.

Batman doesn’t have many friends. I mean, he’s in the Justice League and he teams up with a new costumed bozo every week on Cartoon Network, but that doesn’t mean any of these guys are close.

So Batman sometimes has to be the snot out of allies. This happens in official books and toons a lot, but when you open it up to the world of fan films, edits, and satire, you’ll get some good stuff.

Click after the jump to see 4 films of Batman fighting another hero, monsters, a holiday, and himself.

Powet’s own Caleb Goessling and Sean Corse were featured on NBC 15 in Madison, WI last night as part of a story on the dangers of online gaming, and what you can expect to hear when you put on a headset.

You can find the entire clip here. What you don’t know about playing online… could kill you… or something.

I probably could’ve posted this on Friday so you would’ve been armed with some good music to go into your weekend, but then we’d have this problem of ruining the wordplay of “monday mashup” and its only the second week of this feature so I don’t want to kill it too quickly.

Anyway, Party Ben is a San Fransisco DJ with a highly successful career of mixing songs together to give away for free on his website. Actually that probably doesn’t earn him much money at all, but he still does it and thats cool. [Read the rest of this entry…]
