Metal Gear Solid Snake: Poppet Edition Posted: 09 Jul 2011 03:00 PM PDT Solid Snake might be a little rough and tough, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a softer side – and by that, I mean plush and squishy. Despite having no idea who Solid Snake was, Crafter averyg ended up having to make a plush Snake for Craftster's Poppet Mini Swap (yes that's "poppet", not "puppet"), in which crafters have to make a requested doll for their swap partner. Other than the giant head and lack of a nose or mouth, the felt and pipecleaner version of Snake is a dead ringer for Hideo Kojima's Snake. Although I'm not quite sure about the eyes either. I'm pretty sure that when the government wanted to create the perfect soldier, they weren't thinking about his eyelashes.

Darth Vader Takes a Holiday

Posted: 09 Jul 2011 05:52 AM PDT

It can get pretty tiring being a Sith Lord, and after a long day of evil-doing on the Dark Side of the Force, sometimes you just need a break. That's why I found this series of photos, entitledDark Holiday, by Nick Presniakov so funny.

Even Darth Vader needs a holiday from time to time. After all, there's more to being a Sith Lord than running the Empire and torturing and killing Jedi. Here you'll find Darth Vader taking a stroll, going for a surf, using a Segway, and just basically trying to have fun.

     

Apart from relaxing and sleeping in seedy motel rooms at night, you can expect Darth Vader to take surfing seriously, even if he has to use a white surfboard instead of a more customary dark one.
