Fallout 3. Awesome game, right? I can’t even remember how many Nuka Colas I chugged down while exploring the Capital Wasteland. But let me tell you, it was a hell of a lot. Similar to my real life soda drinking habits. Glug glug glug!

Well, now you can print out your OWN Nuka Cola labels, for the “classic” original or the “new” Quantum, thanks to a talented board member over at Facepunch. And if you want to take it an extra step, you can mix up your own cola recipe.

Nuka-Cola Quantum Recipe
Two drops of Blue food Coloring
Two drops of Red food Coloring
One Foosh “Seriously Caffeinated” Mint
1/3rds Sprite
1/3rds Mountain Dew
1/3rds Squirt! soda

Mix it up with your martini-master skills in a bottle, slap on the Quantum sticker, and you’re good to go! THE POWER OF NUKA-COLA QUANTUM IN YOUR HANDS.

Sounds good to me… except for that Squirt! Soda. What is that? Consider this beverage served at the next Geekadelphia party. Yum!

Just 2 nights ago, Brian (@ Brave New Worlds) and I were playing the most recent Transformers 2 trailer in slow motion hoping to catch a more detailed glimpse of (what looked like) Devastator.  Fully convinced that it was him, because of the different construction vehicles that his limbs were comprised of, we began to wonder what the hell The Fallen is, whether he and Devastator are the same robot, and what his deal is.

Today I discovered exactly what both The Fallen and Devastator looked like, and I am pretty content with what I saw.

EDIT: Our friends @ CrunchGear just posted about the unveiling of the new Autobots – check it out if you’re into that whole “good guy” thing.

… And this is the second time I’ve posted about their recent branding fail (see October 24th, 2008).  I felt it was necessary to bring it up again given the fact that half of Philadelphia has been plastered with their heinous new icon inserted cleverly within words like “POP, JOY, HOPE, AND VROOOOOM”

It looks like the work of a college freshman who scribbled on a vellum pad hours before the final critique.

Artist Lawrence Yang sees this whenever he looks at the new logo, and he’s right, you’ll never see it the same way again.

I hate what it stands for, because the ads don’t make me want to drink Pepsi. There is no new recipe, nothing tastes different about it, and it certainly isn’t any healthier (it’s still liquid sugar, like any other soda) so why the fuck would they try to convince me that the brand stands for a revitalization of the product?!

I’m just glad I’m not alone in this regard, that there is a world of people out there who don’t quite understand what drove such a classic image into the dirt.

Now, I wholeheartedly agree that Branding is Not a Science, but I personally feel compelled to share my opinion that the new Pepsi look does not do justice to their legacy as one of the most cherished brands of all time.

*PEW PEW PEW!*

Ah, Portal. One of my favorite games of all time. I never once thought of possibly dressing up as the protagonist in the game. After all, all she rocks is an orange jumpsuit and the gun. How cool could it possibly look?

Turns out, it looks hella awesome.

This girl, Emily Skeith, has the coolest boyfriend ever. He CUSTOM BUILT this Aperture Science Portal gun out of metal and brawn, similar to how he built the Eiffel Tower.

You can see a whole gallery of images on Emily’s Flickr, as well as a shot of her wearing an engagement ring. Congrats Em! That guy is a keeper.

Wow. This game looks so fun.

We really wanted to score a sneak peak at Deadly Creatures for the Nintendo Wii, but all we could capture was this hysterical bug. Well, error. The spider isn’t the bug, I’m talking about the… you know what. Nevermind. Watch the friggin’ video.

I’m in your RSS reader serving a vital dose of typography-design-geek-links.

The T-shirt is aptly called “Helbotica” because it employs a mildly popular font you may know as Helvetica. Toronto based designer Jonathan Yule produced this gem, along with a few others as part of a series of illustrations based on his favorite sans-serif fonts.

I saw these shirts in person at NYCC (@ the Chop Shop booth) over the weekend and they looked pretty awesome next to their fantastic weRobot shirts I already wrote about.  Personally this is a must have, but I just spent my free cash on graphic novels.  Damn you, Umbrella Academy.

Eric and I are still in the process of putting together a gallery of New York Comic Con photos for you, but in the meantime I thought I’d share this quick shot from my phone.

This is a version of samurai Darth Vader, and it’s totally badass.  My only gripe was his use of a lightsaber – I would have preferred a Nodachi across the back or a standard Katana hanging from the belt in a red sheath, to complete the outfit.

Total rating? 7/10

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) is sporting New York City on their Beer Week pass. Awesome.

Philly Sky Line has the whole story. B-Love is certainly right, it’s a great idea to have this safe sipping pass, but come on. NYC?

Thank goodness the pass says “sample” on it. Maybe… maybe that means these aren’t printed yet? Please let that be the case.

I’ve loved every single Watchmen poster I’ve seen so far, and at the Comic Con, Tim and I saw a lot of ‘em. The six posters that showed off each individual character catered to my excitement for seeing Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach on the big screen.

However this Watchmen poster that features all the main characters… this one takes the cake. Can’t wait to order one of these on eBay and frame it in my room.

And no, it will not replace my framed Silk Spectre poster. Don’t be silly.

Have I over stated my love for Hellboy? Perhaps. I do post on just about anything Hellboy related. Custom made Lego figures, plush creations, sneakers, papercraft… but can you blame me? Hellboy is awesome!

You can check out an entire gallery featuring different shots of this Hellboy Lego bust, over on Brickshelf.

If there is one thing everyone complains about when it comes to the Nintendo Wii, it’s the serious lack of hardcore titles. Sure, there are a handful, Medal of Honor: Heroes certainly comes to mind, and of course Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda: Twilight Princess. But the wealth of casual games and shovelware filling up the shelves certainly outweigh the quality titles.

With this in mind, Geekadelphia happily welcomes MadWorld, a bloody, carnage filled romp through a Sin City-esque drawn world. The stark black and white comic book style characters and scenery only make the bright red blood splotches all the more intense.

Thanks to the kind folks at Sega, we scored a hands-on video with MadWorld, and boy, did Tim love it. Take a look, and get ready to buy this game when it drops this Summer.

You know, we here at Geekadelphia love us some geeky tattoos, whether its our pal Alex’s HTML ink or Obi-Wan Kenobi leg tats, geeky ink is awesome.

However, it is especially awesome when girls get geeky tattoos… and when those tattoos involve video games. What? Don’t judge us, people. We’re video gamers AND we’re guys.

Tattooed by artist Eliza Casarjian at the Painted Bird Tattoo parlor in MA, Eve The Demoness (that’s her LiveJournal name) refers to herself as the Piranha Plant Princess. And we can certainly see why.

Unlike the awful level up tattoo Ben found back in August, this is a great example of gaming ink. Bravo, Eve. Bravo.
