Wil Wheaton's Last Supper

So Wil Wheaton is the son of God. Huh. Artist Wayne Dorrington isn't saying he is for sure, but, well, he did this, based on his show TableTop. You be the judge. List of disciples at his site (Geekdad via John Farrier)

Alien Operation: The Board Game

If you can't remove the facehugger, instead of a red nose lighting up, a chestburster explodes, ending the game and coating everyone in a patina of blood and viscera. Fun for the whole family! (By Steven Lefcourt; via 604 Republic)

Big Lebowski Monopoly

Stranger knocks you out and steals your rug. PASS OUT. Do not observe Shabbos.

Samzo has created a ridiculously detailed Big Lebowski Monopoly game, with property, Community Chest (Briefcase) and Chance (White Russian) cards. (Hat tip to John Farrier of Neatorama)

Looks like times are tough for Rich Uncle Pennybags, he's sold off the car and is out on the street. Still, you'd think he'd be able to stay at Baltic Avenue - that place is a dump. (Recessionopoly by Carlos Rocafort IV at Threadless)

Another great piece from Galley 1988's Is This Thing On? I hope Ian Glaubinger displays a bigger version soon as I'd love to see all the details, but just the references to Stripes and Spaceballs is enough to keep me happy for now.

A Monopoly version of The Wire? Oh, hell yes! From The Poke:

Based around the journey a young gangster might take through the fictionalised Baltimore of the show, players move from corner to stoop, past institutions featured in successive series like the school system and the stevedores union, acquiring real estate, money and power before ending up at the waterfront developments and City Hall itself.

“We hope The Wire Monopoly game will go down well not just with fans of the show, but everyone who secretly wishes to be a poor violent black drug dealer from America.

I would play this in a heartbeat. (Link via The Ampersand)

That is some crappy cruise — it must have been obvious they were sailing into a war zone, what with all the water plumes and flaming ships. Who's the captain, Zapp Branningan?

Wrong Target by Glennz — and yes I realize I am turning into a t-shirt blog.

Checkmate In Four Moves, Predator

Can't an Alien and a Predator just get along? The image, along with the duo playing pool and tetherball, were created by a New Zealand ad agency for the Sky TV network, for an airing of Alien vs. Predator. I suspect the ad was better than the film.
