For Such a Chess Set, I Will Give You All of My Rupies!

A freelance sculpter and video game character fan, Ben Howard has had a couple of pictures of his custom chess set posted to Reddit by his friend and reddit user, hospitalchapel. I’ve gotta admit, it’s pretty sawewet looking. I’ve been told that Ben will even make a custom version for you as well. You can check out more of his work on his site, fizzmanindustries.com. Once we eventually finalize our logo here at Idylum, perhaps Mgmt will order us a few desk stattuettes. Pleeeease??

Colbert Ruptures Hamstring – Stewart Shot by Richter

I know, I know. I haven’t been updating, and thus we definitely weren’t the ones to inform you, but unless you’ve been living somewhere with no Cable, Internet or Broadcast T.V. (north Korea?), you know that Conan O’Brien lost his tonight show gig to the Big Giant Chin. Well since that gruesome affair ended, Conan has been traveling the country performing his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour throughout the States. Last night, the Basic Cable Boys, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert stopped by Conan’s NYU show to condemn O’Brien for leaving N.Y. in the first place. A dance-off ensues which ends with Stewart being shot 9-10 times by Andy Richter.
