Drumheller, Alberta boasts “the world’s largest dinosaur statue”, a 26.3 meter tall Tyrannosaurus Rex statue. Just like the iconic T-Rex from the Fallout New-Vegas videogame, visitors can climb an internal staircase and view the surrounding desert through its mouth.

Saturday Matinee – Pwnisher’s Render Challenge, Rex Race, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band & The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Pwnisher hosted a competition that resulted in this mesmerizing compilation of entries based on the same “simple” animation:

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is always a fun romp, and they have a new album in the works.
Rev. Peyton – Guitar/Vocals
Breezy Peyton – Washboard/Vocals
Sad Max Senteney – Drums/Vocals

Yep, that’ll do for now. Have a great weekend, watch out for the bugbears and we’ll throw something on the floor to kick around tomorrow.
