And I’m back! Enjoy some of this awesomeness as I continue to go through my e-mail, back logs of links and find all kinds of stuff from around the Net for you to enjoy:

Did you know that the Old Spice man wants to be a superhero? Check out his transformation here:
And in other amazing video, watch this deleted scene from Return of the Jedi, available on the soon to be released Blu-Ray versions.

And finally, for the D&D kids out there, here’s t-shirt designs for D&D inspired sports teams. I love the gelatinous cubes (because who doesn’t love to say ‘gelatinous’) and the Displacer Beasts:
That’s it for now, but I should be back tomorrow, have a great one!
