Earthy Crunchy Meets Lycan Raspy

The lycans swept the scheming vampires off the parapets and through a steep cliff-like drop into the teaming streets. Wails and whoops, punctuated by whistles and oohs, crept over the glittering mass and swollen rash that is humanity and humanoidity rippling via fractured purpose the gaiety the enrapture the brace of the things that serve us.

A river of oil, of almond, of wheat, no, not wheat, swirls, so many confection swirls. The river lycans elope with the sea glow and float on to the ethereal stream that the meadow elves know as the Jet Stream. Their energy wildly in flux, borne aloft or sinking at the whim of breezes, tufts the forest carpet tenderly in gloom.

They saw no sun but little moon wandered with them.
They experimented with color. The oumpyres wore only black.
They enjoyed the legumes and forestry pecans but also the bitter-fruited almond tree seed.
They adored the harp and altar of the night but would snatch glimpses of the fabric filled buttercup sky at daybreak.

Lycans.

He's Got The Netherworld Look

 
Viktor

Shiny black supervillain wardrobes, rampant ponderous goth countenances, a retro-future backdrop, gargoyle-ridden skies with splashing thunder, and ignorant clans clashing by night.

This is Underworld.

Finally, an exciting website to accompany the sleekest of horrordom, the dark opacity-graded scape, and the steaming pits aside cathedral-skyscraper hybrids: much finer than steampunk.

This is our favorite film series of modern times. 30 Days of Night, Twilight, and the rest just do not compare to this Matrix-oumpyre cinematic reflectionless third-eye candy.

Three Addicting Little Minigames:

Night Patrol

Essentially a Robotron-like game, and quite fun, though I have a hard time achieving independence between each hand and utilizing the W-A-D cluster and the arrow keys to move and fire, even considering that I have total independence when playing the percussives (drums!). Go figure.

Guard The Castle

Almost makes you jerk back when the lycans reach the parapet and pounce. Awesome!

Catacombs Maze

I like mazes, so this is ok by default, otherwise, it is ok. Not as good as the other two.

Final word: this is a fresh Flash site, with the 3D navigation-scape and all the little things to click on for games, info, pics, etc., and the other trappings of modern Flash websites. We are not particularly interested in cheats or easter eggs, but will keep a fourth eye open for them on game sites, forums and other blogs, and, if they are cool, we will post them as updates. And, though not a site issue, we are kind of curious as to whether the new Sonja will be able to fill the Hot Topic platform boots of Kate Beckinsale.

Enjoy until January 23rd. Then, check out Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

Such vapidity repels like garlic. But, such vapidity is aristocratic like 'dem blood-hording wampyres.

Vampire Happenings And Trends

With graphic novels, comic books, glittering websites, and pixelated films, GGI'd to the max, forming torrential currents that inform cinematic and visual culture, the underwater streams, moonlit trends, and tertiary darkness of vampires, continue to inspire and drive the murky, turbid brooks coursing through back alleys and gargoyle-tormented parapets.

The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and the so-called Dark Knight, would be wise to avoid the skulking bloodsuckers, for all three, and their cliquish brethren, would be severely outmatched by Nosferatu, and his brethren. Plainly put, superheroes are not primordial enough to battle folk legends and mythological beasts.

For instance, The Hulk would not stand a chance against Ajax. Supposed stats notwithstanding, the primordial power is not there. Smaug would have no chance against a serpent plucked from a medieval bestiary. And, perhaps the most fitting past-present match-up, Dungeons and Dragons Tiamat would be feckless against ancient Tiamat.

These age old concoctions and constructs are too vast, too shrill, and too fearsome for any chromatic pop culture hero or villain.

Our newest category, Vampires, will contain random and non-systematic commentary and review of bleeding edge vampiric presence in film, graphic novel, video game, artwork, poetry, novel, tale, and, if so inspired, even board game and puzzle.
