[Boredom Bytes] A ‘Super Mario’ And ‘Ghostbusters’ Mashup, Christopher Walken Plays ‘BioShock Infinite’

Published

Since last week was mildly depressing, today we’re going to focus on the funny. After the break I have a lovely mashup video that brings together Super Mario and Ghostbusters — I can’t believe that hasn’t been done already — a Christopher Walkenthrough of BioShock Infinite, and a super secret video. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

First up, Super Mario Busters 2. That Ghosbusters film may never happen, but I feel like this is a compromise we can all be happy with.

Okay, no, this obviously isn’t the real Christopher Walken. I’m sure he’s never heard of BioShock, because he’s far too busy being awesome. Have you seen Seven Psychopaths? That scene where he flies out of the coffin, a pistol in each hand, and pops a cap in two unsuspecting goons is something I’ve watched eighty times. No exaggeration. Eighty. Times.

It’s super secret video time! Okay, I’m a Game of Thrones nerd. I obsess over that show, and since the third season kicked off recently, let’s have a musical celebration (BYOB, obviously).

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
