This Totoro Costume Looks Completely Huggable

College student Melanie wanted to be Totoro for Halloween, and she decided to go full throttle with the idea. The result is this elaborate and adorable costume.

Melanie’s mom did most of the work since she can sew, and it apparently took several hours to complete. This isn’t surprising given the size of the outfit! Totoro is still getting use after the holiday, too. He lives in Melanie’s apartment and gives great therapy hugs. I sort of want one for my house.

See more adorable photos after the break.

Steam For Ubuntu: A Five Point Review

I’m unique among Ubuntu users; I run the OS not because I believe deeply in free software and want to tell you how inferior your operating system is, but because I’m too cheap to pay for Photoshop and Office and too much of a wuss to just steal them like everyone else. As a result, my primary PC is a dual-boot; Ubuntu for work, Windows for playing games for fun and watching movies on the run.

Will Steam for Ubuntu change that? Well… not yet. But it’s a good start… insofar as Ubuntu lets it be one.

The Client

Using the client itself is pretty straightforward, it has to be said. While it’s still got some minor rough edges, and gave me a little trouble on the installation, Valve has worked pretty hard to make this that rare Ubuntu user experience that’s actually smooth and won’t draw on your rusty command line skills.

Buying games is as smooth as it ever is, on Steam, so there’s that.

The Games

That said, the biggest drawback here is the game selection right now. Valve has ported Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike and there are major games like Serious Sam 3, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Crusader Kings II and FML FTL, but a lot of the launch games are indie obscurities and fairly heavy on the platformers and casual games.

The Navigation

Everything I tried, from forums to library, loaded quickly, but it felt a little slower and stiffer compared to the Windows client. That said, I’m not willing to blame the software for that one; it could well be my laptop.

The Playback

Here, there aren’t any problems. It does take the games maybe a second or two longer to boot, but I literally had to pull out a stopwatch to see a difference. The big issue is really the fact that you’re going to spend a hell of a lot more time configuring this and that to play more graphically-intensive games. It’s more an annoyance than anything else, but if your gaming time is limited, be aware installing a new game will mean “fun” with settings until you’ve got what you want.

The Problem Right Now Is Ubuntu

I hate keyboard/mouse, so I use a Logitech gamepad and a few custom programs like XPadder in Windows to get the controls up and running and avoid screwing around with config files. In Ubuntu, right now, it’s possible to get that… but more complex than it should be.

Therein lies the rub. Steam works beautifully, the games I downloaded work beautifully, but the OS is not up to the usability standards you want when all you want to do is just play a game. I spent five hours with this last night, and an hour of that time, in increments, was spent troubleshooting: Downloading drivers, adding outside software, unpacking tarballs, tweaking configs. At least some of that was hardware, but Windows 7 on the same machine doesn’t give me any of these problems. It felt a lot like when I was PC gaming in the ’90s, honestly, where you’d run a game for ten seconds and get an error code that took up three lines in the window.

It’s true this is a stepping stone to other things: Steamboxes, Steam for Android, Steam for Consoles depending on who you ask. And Valve has done its homework; this is great for regular Ubuntu users, and it says something that even casual users like me can get the thing up and running with relatively minimal effort.

But Canonical needs to step up, if they want this to be more than a curiosity.

D.C. Comics ‘Lobo’ Movie Loses Dwayne Johnson

Last year NerdBastards brought you the news that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was keyed up to play Lobo in a DC comics movie. Today we bring you the sad news that all we hoped for, is not to be. In a recent interview with Dwayne Johnson about his current projects, MTV News asked the question:

Are you going to be playing Lobo?

With Johnson answering:

"It was [something that I was going to do] for a minute, but then it kind of just went away, as things happen in Hollywood. For a minute, I was interested in it, but then it went away."

Considering the turmoil going on around Warner Brothers and DC Comics movie productions lately, it’s no surprise that this project has gotten left on the shelf to gather dust. If the powers that be can’t get any of the tent pole characters of DC Comics to the big screen in a unified manner, besides Batman that is, one would expect the secondary characters, no matter how beloved by fans, to wither and die on the vine.

Don’t worry though, we’ll be seeing plenty of Johnson in the coming weeks with his appearances in the action thriller Snitch later this month, G.I. Joe: Retaliation next month, Michael Bay's dark comedy Pain and Gain in April, and then he’ll be in Fast & Furious 6 in May.

Johnson also confirmed we can look forward to his interpretation of the role of Hercules in director Brett Ratner's Hercules.

Sexy Cosplay of the Week: Cookie Kabuki

It’s back! It’s your Friday dose of the Sexy Cosplay of the Week and this week we’re off to Costa Rica’s with Cookie Kabuki.

Well she currently lives in the land of Kevin Smith (New Jersey if you didn’t know,) this lively lass has been tearing it up after being introduced to cosplaying by one of her brothers. Since then Cookie Kabuki and her foray into coslpaying has developed a huge catalogue of costumes that she’s continues to thrust onto the public – and we couldn’t be more thankful for it.

Cookie Kabuki has an extreme love of anime and most of her cosplay is borne from that love, with awesome costumes like Vocaloid‘s Megurine Luka and Panty and Stocking‘s villain Kneesocks. That doesn’t stop her from doing cosplay from North American shows like My Little Pony‘s Rarity and Adventure Time‘s gender-flipped Fionna The Human. Check them all out in the gallery after the jump.

You can see more of Cookie Kabuki’s work by going over to her Facebook, World Cosplay, Cosplay.com or Deviant Art for more.

Photographer Uses His Daughter To Recreate Works Of The Old Masters [Cosplay]

Award-winning photographer Bill Gekas takes inspiration from the paintings of the Old Masters of Western Europe, so he decided to try and duplicate some of their most well-known works. The resulting photographs were made all the more interesting for his decision to use his 5-year-old daughter in place of the women in the original paintings. His pictures are as mesmerizing as the paintings they represent.

Real Or Fiction?: The Craziest Animal Hybrids Ever Imagined

Animal hybrids — real or completely imagined — are a topic of endless fascination, especially on the internet. Let’s take a stroll through several of the craziest ever imagined and clarify once and for all whether they are works of fiction or something you should lie awake at night thinking about. First up: Bearsharktopus.

Yes, it’s a Photoshop by UPROXX’s own Matt Ufford, and it’s biologically impossible. On the other hand, imagine rolling out of your sleeping back and seeing this thing closing in on your campsite. Yes, pants would need to be changed.

Immortalized — AMC's original series brings viewers into the captivating and provocative world of creative and competitive taxidermy. In this competition, you have to bring your own game. Premieres Feb 14, Thursdays 10/9c. Only on AMC.

Polar bears and grizzly bears are interbreeding as polar bears are being forced south thanks to global warming. Over time this may result in a bear that has no fear of humans, can survive very extreme conditions, and is incredibly aggressive. So basically, it’ll sound awesome until they start invading human settlements en masse and eating everyone.

Man, we’re grateful this one is fake. Although Floridians might argue the point.

The idea of a rabbit with the actual horns of a deer is, as you may have guessed, false, but the concept of a rabbit with horns is, believe it or not, 100% real.

It’s caused by Shope papilloma virus, a disease that causes tumors to grow out of a rabbit’s face. And, yes, that includes on the top of the head, so there are jackalopes out there. They’re just horrible disease victims instead of hybrids.

You thought they only existed in Napoleon Dynamite, but lion and tiger crossbreeds are not only real, but actually relatively common. They come from a male lion and a female tiger reproducing and, oh yeah, they’re bigger than either species. Also they can reproduce, unlike some hybrids. Fortunately, they only appear in captivity. For now.

You know, we don’t want to know how the idea for this one got started.

That’s not a kitten: Leopard and puma crossbreeds are prone to dwarfism, possibly marking the first time in natural history that a hybrid spawned something consistently adorable.

But it’ll still eat your face. Just saying.

Courtesy of respected fine artist Takeshi Yamada, the “sea gerbil” is supposedly a fuzzy little rodent who lives under the sea, complete with devil horns and webbed feet. This is actually a careful mixture of organic and inorganic materials to create a convincing specimen: Yamada specializes in “rogue taxidermy”, a form of sculpture where taxidermists mix and match parts to create fanciful creatures.

No, it is not named Sandy.

The Cama is thankfully only possible through artificial insemination. The idea was to create an animal that creates soft wool and is far less surly than the notoriously douchey camel.

Instead the fur is rough and if anything it’s even more contrary and ticked off. Great in theory, crappy in execution.

So an iguana that can only survive on land interbred with an iguana that can only survive in the water in the Galapagos, spawning an iguana that can survive on either and has freaking razor-sharp claws.

Ever think Mother Nature is a big fan of making things more terrifying?

Al Gore may have been superserial about it, but Manbearpig does do some pretty serious damage, especially when it escapes into the real world. Then again, he is ultimately defeated by a bunch of fourth graders, so maybe he’s not as badass as advertised.

Killer bees are noted for their ferocity, swarming nature, and general terrifying defensiveness of the hive. And it all started in 1957, when the careful work of biologist Warwick Kerr was undone by some idiot randomly walking by and messing with his hives, releasing twenty-seven African honeybee queens into the wild.

Since then, the African queens have taken over, invading complacent honeybee hives, killing the queen, and filling it with bees that will not stop stinging you. A killer bee swarm is a pretty horrible way to die, albeit somewhat unlikely.

Somewhat.

‘Aliens: Colonial Marines’ In Three Points: Nasty, Brutish, And Short

Yeah, suicide is a reasonable option if playing this game is your other choice.

A short game deserves a short review, so that’s exactly what Aliens: Colonial Marines is getting. Rushed and slipshod, it’s a little surprising Sega and Gearbox didn’t bite the bullet on this one and just not release it. There are simply too many cooks in this kitchen, and too little care taken with the recipe.

Short

This game will take you perhaps six hours to beat, to lead with the single most damning thing we can say about it. That’s literally one hour for every year Gearbox spent developing this game.

This has the very odor of “contract that must be begrudgingly fulfilled”. Consider that Borderlands came out in 2010, Borderlands 2 just last year, and both games had a full boat of DLC.
It’s blatantly obvious that this game was in development right up until it became clear that Borderlands was going to be a much larger hit that Gearbox had expected, and began devoting resources to that.

It’s a shame, in a way, because there are good ideas here, if unrefined: Being forced to sneak past Xenomorphs and use the environment against them is a great concept in one level, but it fails in the actual execution. The only real work here that’s fully realized is incorporating the game into the Aliens universe: While the blather about this being a sequel is just that, it is fun to come across Bishop chunks in the Sulaco, or visit exactingly imitated locations from the movie.

Brutish

A large part of the problem is that the enemies you fight at incredibly stupid. Aliens have two modes: “Standing around enjoying a latte” or “Oh, yeah, we should run directly at this guy.” When you inevitably run into the standard space marines, they at least have enough sense to hide, but they’re not much smarter. Sequences featuring franchise standards like the power loader feel forced and pointless, and watching the two main enemy types fight each other is often more entertaining than actually shooting them. That is, if you can watch them at all.

Nasty

This is an unbelievably ugly game. While playing on PC, we didn’t run into any major graphic glitches, but it was still full of rough textures and graphical sloppiness. Why, precisely, this requires NVidia hardware to run is a mystery: It makes no credible use of it. The voice acting and sound editing are, if possible, even worse. “We’ll wait for you, soldier, but don’t make us wait!”: That’s an actual line of dialogue. And it’s delivered in about the least convincing way possible.

The level design is painfully linear and flat, and in fact the game is so hidebound and dull to play that I literally forgot I could upgrade my weapons. I just assumed there was no upgrade mechanic: Hell, everything else in this game is from 1999, why expect modern mechanics?

Ultimately, this is a failed opportunity. Aliens has been relentlessly mined by video games for material, but done properly, an Aliens game is still a lot of fun. But it’s abundantly clear that this game was rushed out to fulfill a legal obligation, that good ideas and proper design were thrown aside in favor of projects the developer preferred to work on, and in the end, a bad game resulted. This is not worth $60: Aliens fans should give it six months, and pick it up for $20

Aliens: Colonial Marines is available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

‘Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’ Lets You Customize Your Dismemberment

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is going to have plenty of jumping, sneaking and slicing guys up into party platter sized cubes, but did you know it’s also going to have some RPG elements? You’re going to be able to equip all sorts of weapons, upgrade your skills and so on — nice to know we’ll be getting some depth with our absurd violence.

Hit the jump for a couple videos that detail Metal Gear Rising’s skill upgrades and weapon types…

So yeah, incredibly unfortunate title aside, this game is looking pretty damn good isn’t it? Platinum Games’ stuff usually feels a bit underbaked — as an independent developer they just don’t have a lot of extra time or money to lavish on their games. But a Metal Gear game? I think they’re going to get the opportunity to polish that up nice.

Oh, and hey, here’s an older trailer we never posted that gives you a taste of the game’s suitably wacky storyline…

You know, sometimes I think video games need to grow up and scale back on the violence, but thankfully every once in a while a Metal Gear Rising comes along and sets me straight.

Everybody Has Their Hobbies I Guess — Somebody’s Trying To Port ‘Portal’ To The DS

The Nintendo DS isn’t exactly a system known for it’s incredible 3D graphics or brute processing capabilities, but that hasn’t stopped a French homebrew developer from trying to port Valve’s physics puzzler Portal to the system.

So far the transition is going better than you might expect. Hit the jump for some footage of Portal on the DS…

So yeah, I doubt we’ll ever see the entire game running on a DS, but it looks like all the basic Portal mechanics are in place, which is impressive in its own right.

Here’s my main takeaway from this — wouldn’t portable Portal be awesome? Sure, the game looks ugly on the DS, but the 3DS and Vita could handle the Portal games without much sweat. I want to give you more money Valve! Make it happen!

The Hobbit Hole Cat Litter Box Is Too Precious For Words

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. And then a cat pooped in his house. Take that, hobbitses. Geekologie tipped us to this concept for a Hobbit Hole cat litter box photoshopped by If Industries. It may not be real, but that’s probably for the best. Some things are too beautiful for this world.

Alternatively, get some Hobbit action figures and use it as a Hobbit Hole playset! You have to choose one or the other though, it can’t be a litter box that doubles as an action figure playset, that’s gross. [Geekologie]

Pffft, whatever. Toxoplasmosis is just the price you pay for adventure.

When and if If Industries ever makes this dream a reality, we know two cats who are ready to test it out.

‘Doctor Who’ 50th Anniversary 3D Madness, Possible Theater Release

We're all eagerly waiting to see what Steven Moffat has cooked up for us in the second half of the Doctor Who season. And following said season will come the much-anticipated 50^th Anniversary special. To make things even more interesting, it looks like Moffat and the BBC are not only planning to air the special in 3D, but may also be taking The Doctor to the big screen.

Some may not be fans of the 3D format, but Moffat apparently is, as he had this to say about the upcoming technological shift:

It's about time. Technology has finally caught up with Doctor Who and your television is now bigger on the inside. A whole new dimension of adventure for the Doctor to explore.

What's more, the way the execs at the BBC are teasing it, this may not be the one-and-only voyage into 3D for The Doctor, so we may be looking at more episodes in this format in the future.

While you wait for the 50^th, make sure not to forget that Doctor Who will be returning to TV (in traditional 2D) come March 30^th, 2013.

Thanks to TheMarySue for the heads-up.

‘Lost Girl’ Precap – Eyes Wide-WHAT?

Relationships became strained in last week’s episode of Lost Girl: Bo and Lauren realized their biological limitations, Kenzi found herself out of the loop, and office pets were once again proved to be a bad idea.

The case of the week involved a series of – shall we say – interesting suicides. Dyson and Tamsin come across a man trying to walk a tight rope between buildings, at some point it got into his head that this was a good idea. Like several people who have all died under mysterious, insane, and borderline self-inflicted circumstances, Dyson smells the scent of another Fae at the scene, and since all the victims have one thing in common, a new age therapy clinic, he reaches out to Bo to go undercover.

Posing as a couples therapist, Bo thinks she’s found a suspect in the clinic’s receptionist, a suicide Fae that feeds on the despair of people who kill themselves. But after another attempted murder/suicide, Bo begins to suspect another force. The bad guy turns out to be a Rakshasa, a shape-shifter who gets his victims jazzed up and euphoric before driving them to death. The Rakshasa lived at the clinic in the form of Dr. Bob, the clinic’s resident cat who spent most of his time in the office of hypnotherapist Dr. Palmer, setting the good-natured doctor up as a patsy. Dyson later goes undercover as a patient, but before he himself falls victim, and after being driven to believe that he can turn into a Griffin and flyaway, he’s saved by Bo and Tamsin in the nick of time.

But while all’s well that ends well for our heroes during their thrilling heroics, things were a little less certain on the home front. After getting into a fight over the ethical grey matter in posing as a doctor, Bo is seriously injured saving a potential victim of the Rakshasa. Unable to feed as well as she needs to off the utterly human Lauren, Dyson insists that Bo feed off of him so that her injuries heal completely. At the end, it’s time for true confession. Bo tells Lauren about the purely clinical dalliance with Dyson, to which Lauren reacts in a slightly stung, but utterly mature way. As a doctor, Lauren knows that biologically she can’t be all she needs to be for Bo for them to be monogamous, so they agree to find a way to make sure Bo gets what she needs while still being a couple. There’s just one rule: no Dyson. Bo can never feed on her ex-boyfriend again.

In other news, Kenzi tries to talk to Bo about her own growing medical condition. The rash on her arm is getting worse, the same rash that was inflicted on her after Kenzi’s confrontation with the Norn. With Bo busy, Kenzi reaches out to Hale, who’s bogged down with his new and very important duties as Ash. But when Kenzi interrupts a key ritual, she wears out her welcome with Hale too, and wandering alone at night on the streets, she takes another look at that rash before being dragged away by some unknown force.

And now that we know where we’ve been, let’s find out where we’re going. Here’s the preview of tonight’s new episode, “Faes Wide Shut”:

1) Swingers – Following last week’s realization that, for the time being, monogamy isn’t in the cards for Blauren, Bo and the Doc go trolling for tail at the Dal. Lauren’s putting on brave face as they try and find a Fae strumpet for Bo to feed on, but she’s hoping this kind of night out is temporary till science can offer an option to make a more traditional relationship possible. Still, a couple going out to the bar to pick up a third is little throwback to 70s sexy fun, which leads us to…

2) The Case of the Week - A human man comes how to his -ahem- eager wife, who sees him spontaneously turn to green slime and splatter all over the kitchen floor. The key, literally and figuratively, to the case is a sex club run by a Fae named Roman. Roman is a Bacchus, so named after the Ancient Rome counterpart to Dionysus, Greek God of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, ritual madness and ecstasy.

3) The Unusual Suspects - Although Roman is Light Fae, and been a fine purveyor of debauchery for hundreds of years, don’t expect that he’s not up to no good. Still, a good mystery comes with a twist, and this episode is no exception. Let me give you a clue: Octopussy.

4) The Other Case of the Week - Another body turns up, this one not gooey, but as Dyson discovers, it’s got Bo’s scent all over her. Tamsin is obviously excited about this prospect, but Bo claims to have no idea about how the girl in question ended up dead. By the end of the episode, someone ‘s going to get a clue that everyone’s favorite succubus may not always be in the driver’s seat of her own life.

5) Speaking of Identity Crises... – You’ll remember that last week’s episode ended with Kenzi in trouble. Her Norn inflicted arm rash looked like a full-blown case of flesh-eating disease, and that was right before – something – tripped her and took her away. But this week, Kenzi’s back to normal, hanging out at home, looking for strange cases for her and Bo to solve together. But if you notice that there’s something off about Kenz you might be on to something. Watch her interactions with the gang for subtle hints.

6) Terrible Double Entendre Pun of the Week – Courtesy of Trick after finding out what his granddaughter and her girlfriend are up to: “So many glasses… Must polish.”

7) Burning Questions - “What’s your show again?” “How about a little privacy?” “You wanna get kinky at a sex club with your granddaughter?” “Did you really see that girl leave?” “How much do I owe you for the beer, bar keep?”

8) How Does it End? - “So tell me bitch, where the hell is Kenzi?”

Next Week: Well, that would be telling. Especially seeing as how next week is about everybody spilling secrets. (Shhhhut up.)
