Things You Might Have Missed in Studio 666

Because of course this was going to happen.

(TW: Gore)

The fake Dream Widow plaque that may indicate what this full EP due on the 25th could be titled

Director BJ McDonnell said this opening scene was a lot more ick than what made it into the film (and based on a flash a few minutes later, he’s not wrong - keep reading)

The Sigil of Baphomet in the background - the ‘official’ symbol of the Church of Satan

When the news broke about the Dream Widow massacre in this fictional timeline, Nirvana were in Davenport, Iowa IRL

1) The second mockup Dream Widow plaque; 2) The artwork on the wall behind them is similar to what can be seen throughout the Encino house - almost foreshadowing

The costume department spent $0.00 on Taylor Hawkins

Jeremy Shill has Barb Weems assigned as his first contact on speed dial

I might be wrong but this looks like Taylor’s friend Hans Hagen casually crossing in the background

The Big Red Delicious - Foo Fighters’ first touring van

According to a crew member, this was the first scene they filmed. Also, Nate goes in for a handshake and gets knocked back

Shifty, sir, you’re taking the wrong path

So yeah, this is what I meant by toning down the ick

The jump scares that flash each time Dave claps are the faces of the trapped members of Dream Widow

There’s a poster for The Figurines in Greg Noll’s room, in 1993, except The Figurines didn’t release their first EP until 2001, whoopsie doodles

Once you notice recurring symbols with five points planted throughout the house, representing each member of Dream Widow and all members of Foo Fighters who will not survive...

This artwork was commissioned for the film - artist is Nalani Williams

This couldn’t really be any other album but LP2 by Sunny Day Real Estate, could it?

The picture on the wall behind him is never shown in focus but it looks like a younger Dave and his mother Virginia

Think of the pain Dave was going through to have to pretend he didn’t know shit about running a barbecue for the sake of this joke

Mossburn Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Who dumps iceberg lettuce on a plate in the middle of the table like that? Who do you think you are?

No notes, just offering this as a reaction pic

Remember when we thought Dave’s neck had gotten so thick that it broke his Mjölnir necklace because we didn’t see it for a while? We can rebuild him, better, stronger

The 2019 Pula poster

Absolutely no one thought to use the crucifix figurine on the shelf at any point in this movie

1) The five points on the decorative thing above his head; 2) The text on the poster reads “Fear Beyond Imagination”

The metronome on the bedside table and the obvious wink here

Visual hat-tipping to The Exorcist

Was the fact that the delivery guy looked so similar to Dave a deliberate choice or

Further evidence that Dave has this shirt in every imaginable colour

Another cluster of five - the candle holders on the wall

I get that they wanted to make most of the effects as practical as possible but cardboard on a dolly is never going to look like anything else except cardboard on a dolly

Pilfered filing box from a law firm that has nothing to do with its contents

THE BUCK ROGERS DISINTEGRATOR PISTOL, HAIL HOLY SHIT ON HIGH

I don’t think the creative team had someone like me in mind, who would go through this frame by frame and would point and laugh this loudly

The shadow hand on the right

You. Can. Never. Have. Too. Much. Ranch

Stunt hands by Steve Vai (no, really)

‘666 Presents’ on the punk posters

For anyone who might need this. Someone very well could, I don’t know your life

Continuity oopsie: Between shots, Pat lifts his head off the bog roll twice

Pat is always the closest to breaking throughout this movie but here, he’s not even trying

Dave whacks in one direction, Taylor’s head turns the other

They all play their signature instruments or variations/custom versions of them

Dave’s Gibson Elvis Presley Dove, with the six-pointed star added for the film

FF show posters: Portland 2018/Vegas NYE 2017

While Barb is yucking out over the food on the ceiling, i’m wondering what has gone so wrong in their lives for a pile of instant noodles to end up draped over the board

We never got an explanation for these dolls, did we? Was there ever one? There wasn’t one. Unless - dolls, ‘Doll’, “i’ve never been so scared”. I’m reaching

Whiplash reference

The runic alphabet, but put your thing down, flip it, and reverse it

AGAIN, FIVE, THE FIVE, THE THING WITH THE FIVE

Pat slips very briefly on the spilled pool water on his way over

Except for Chris and Rami, the band members are killed in the reverse order in which they joined the band - leaving the OGs to battle in the film’s climax. Bwaaaw

You can briefly see the blood bag in Jenna Ortega’s hand before she squeezes

Bringing their own wardrobes to work right down to the undies (I don’t know how to feel about knowing this)

BJ said the original idea for the ending was for Tenacious D to show up and take the book. WE COULD HAVE HAD THIS

A subtle sign that the curse is complete during this scene is Dave’s darkened eyes after Shill says the final incantation

Jimmi Simpson was brought in as an acting coach for the band around the time of the table read, but he buggered off by the time they were shooting

Looks like a room in Studio 607, the band’s newest studio adjacent to 606

The Coolest Dota® 2 Products on Shapeways

Edrice’s powerful-looking Dota® Signet Ring

Fan art is something that’s always gone hand-in-hand with the things people love: comic books, television, and sports, just to name a few. That’s why fan art for video games is both abundant and diverse. But what happens when a fan of a particular video game, say Dota® 2 (you know, just the second-most popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena of all time), also has the ability to create amazing 3D printed custom Dota® 2 products? That, dear reader, is when they need to open up a Shapeways store. And, if they do it before Nov. 17, they could win lots of things.

Thanks to Shapeways’ new partnership with Valve, we’re seeing new Dota® 2 pieces pop up in all different sections of our marketplace daily (though I’m still waiting for someone to make a chibi Roshan statue with a wheel of cheese). So, without further ado, here are some of the coolest Dota® 2 products on Shapeways. We hope you find the creativity we uncovered just as inspirational as we did, because wow — this stuff is inventive, awesome, and sometimes hilarious.

Dota® 2 Models

With a game like Dota® 2, models are always going to be the most widely represented product we have. There’s no mystery behind it — Valve has given creators a massive cast of amazing characters to work with, and bringing their beauty, design, and detail to a 3D model is something you have to see to believe. For instance…

Baldurs Tod’s Incredibly Detailed Roshan

The last time I talked about Baldurs Tod, I couldn’t help but obsess on his Team Fortress 2 statues. But seeing his incredibly detailed, incredibly accurate model of uber-creep Roshan blew me away. Sure, those with some painting skill could make him look even more realistic with a custom paint job over the white Strong & Flexible plastic, but the stainless steel model was the one that really blew me away. The texture of the stainless really stands out here, making Roshan’s ancient carapace feel that much more realistic.

Miniature Den’s Double Threat

Even if you don’t know much about Dota® 2 or its lore, do you really need to understand much when it comes to a knight in sweet black platemail flanked by a badass dragon? Not much, I’d say. Bilal Majeed Khan of Miniatures Den has a wide line of Dota® 2 figurines, but this one took the cake for me because it’s just a classic combination brought to life by 3D printing. It’s two figures in one, essentially, and the detail in this model is just as precise as all of the other work on Bilal’s page. It’s a great focus piece to put on a shelf and zone out on, thinking of all the cool adventures these guys would get up to, slaying foes and gettin’ money. Or maybe that’s just me.

Mostly Jewelry‘s Least Jewelry-Related Pieces

Mostly Jewelry’s model, and a promo image of Tinker for comparison

Making a 3D scale model is challenging enough, but when you add in the insane amount of detail that comes with bringing a character like the Tinker to life, you kind of jump off the deep end. Despite the difficulty, creator Peter Lemmens gives us this spot-on rendition of everyone’s favorite meme beast. Getting this statue in real life means that you might get some flack from other Dota® 2 fans in your office, but hey, it’s worth it to rep your love for the ultimate 1-V-9 hero.

Dota® 2 Tech

When it comes to making tech accessories for this game, we’re just beginning to see the possibilities come to life. But what we’ve found so far is super impressive:

Tigri’s Keycaps’ Pudge Cherry MX Keycap

Tigri’s keycap with Pudge’s character model for comparison (via dotawallpapers).

Anyone can get some hot Cherry MX keycaps. However, nothing says “I love Dota® 2” on your keyboard more than having the horrifying visage of an undead butcher held together by his own twine. Pudge is an abomination, to be sure, but he sure does look pretty when you pop him on as your Escape key. If you’ve got a sweet custom keyboard with Cherry MX switches, then this keycap is definitely for you. And it comes without the putrid smell of decaying flesh! That’s always good.

Dota® 2 Accessories

And while there aren’t as many Dota® 2 accesories as there are toys, there are still quite a few, and they all look great. Don’t believe me? Check these out:

The Dota® 2 Belt Buckle by IvanGolota

via IvanGolota

Belt buckles are in no short supply here on Shapeways, but they don’t seem to get as much love as, say, rings or necklace pendants. So in the interests of showing off some other littler-known pieces on Shapeways, as well as just showing off a really awesome belt buckle, check out this great piece from creator Ivan Golota. The brass version of the buckle adds to the piece’s timeworn feel, making it feel almost — dare I say it — ancient. Getting this in any metal finish would look great, but the plastic versions are definitely not too shabby as well.

Dota® 2 Signet Ring by Edrice

Edrice’s powerful-looking Dota® Signet Ring

Edrice has won us over again with this preeeeetty impressive signet ring. The first time, by the way, was when the designer brought us full color sandstone Grumpy Cat. But we digress. This feels like The One Ring for Dota® 2 players. This ring seems like a good luck charm. Or the Super Bowl ring of Dota® 2 world. Just wear it and feel its power.

What’s missing from this article?

Your piece! We’re always looking for new designs to add to roundups like these, so take advantage of the new Valve + Shapeways partnership, create the Valve product of your dreams, and share it in the comments. There’s always room for creativity and ingenuity in our community, and of course, it makes for a great article. And don’t forget — from now until until Nov. 17th, all the licensed Valve merch you put up for sale will enter you to win some very cool prizes, plus a bunch of Shapeways money.

Happy creating!

  Editor’s note: While we normally only feature products that have already been printed, Valve products are new to the marketplace, so many are still awaiting their first prints. We’ll keep this post updated as we get IRL pics of the featured products.

[betta-resplendent]

I decided to take advantage of a sudden burst of energy - though i regret it now because ow - and clean off my desk! I figured I’d show off my work. It’s not great, and my desk is still pretty much m a d e of dust, but that’s okay. I’ll explain it here so nobody gets bothered by it:

First pic is just the whole thing. My room is so damn small, I was actually standing next to my fish tank to even get that picture, my back was in the opening to my tiny af closet. That’s as far as I could get without being out of view lol. The pot with the fake flowers is actually where my cane is, I keep it there when I’m not using it. 

The top shelf of my desk is the spray bottle for the air plants and a fake ‘fish box’ where I put the shells from my trip to Oklahoma, some betta fish cut outs from the Hikari food boxes, and Bailey’s first fake plants. There’s also my razor, I pretty much always have to keep it nearby because eeeevery morning and eeevery night I’ve gotta shave if I wanna keep any semblance of looking like a normal gal. Also, my lil enderman plush, some odds and ends, and a pencil box my mother got me for my birthday in high school. (it says “The writer must write what he has to say, not speak it”. It’s a shallow box, but it’s good for a few pens and pencils <3) Around the stands are a couple flowers my grandmother gave me while in Oklahoma to visit, my “Hello Spring!” note pad, a clippy to hold together anything I need (I really need to give that back to mom lmao, a penguin scent port, my air conditioner remote, the drying towel for the air plants, and behind that is a back scratcher because my skin is dry AF.

The main desk is where I’m gonna be keeping all the plants, my D&D dice, figurines, and my makeup. I might bring my nail color back down too but for now it’s stowed away in my closet. The middle space was kept open for the bowl to soak the air plants in when they’re ready to soak. I put some figurines in with Lara. They aren’t permanent but I had no other decent place to put them lol. 

Then there’s my computer setup. There’s Rumple Teazer from where I donated to the local shelter, the remote for my computer/TV, the key that I share with my girlfriend (hers is rose gold, mine is black). In the little tissue box are a few odds and ends I couldn’t find another place for.

The main monitor, behind the keyboard, is for pretty much everything. Games, tumblr, youtube, reddit, Gaia. Anything that actually requires my full attention. On the other monitor is where I keep chat programs, email (functions as chat, so my mother has contact with me while she’s at work), and youtube if it’s only music. I also use that just to keep my streaming software on. I’d like to eventually have a third monitor to put the streaming shit on so I can keep the second as just a place to have the stream chat on because W O W does it get crowded. Oh well. ANOTHER TIME. I have a constantly rotating thing going for my wallpapers to be stream art that friends and ‘fan’ made. <3 And of course on the speakers (they no longer function, they’re just there to be there. We never did move them and they’ve been nonfunctional for like 3 years lmfao) is my little Adipose stress ball from Christmas 2 years ago, and my Rowlet plush my girlfriend bought me a few months back. <3 

On my tower is all my charging shit for my phone and backup battery, plus my mouse dongle, and I found the crab sand baby and positioned his claw to look like it was gonna pull out the cord. I’m sorry but I find it fukkin adorable lmfao.

so that’s a tour of my desk lmao. This is where I spend like 95% of my time. Bailey can see me from his tank, though I have to turn to see him, but occasionally we’ll share a dancy-dancy moment when we notice each other and he hears my wheels lol!

Oof, sorry. I’m sure nobody cares but I kinda like talking about this stuff. I feel like I have all this sentimental shit around me and I wanna gush but I have nobody IRL to gush to. ;N;
