We don’t want to know what you use these Dr. Manhattan Gloves for. We really don’t. Whether you’re using them to act out your darkest of sexual fantasies, or simply need a new pair of dish washing gloves, do as you will, but no asky, no telly.

No matter what you use them for, they are just too damn cool to pass up. I mean, really? You’re not going to own a pair of Dr. Manhattan gloves? And you call yourself a Watchmen fan. Not to mention they would serve as an excellent distraction from your woman’s brute man-hands, which remind you more of Rorschach anyway. How the hell did they even get like that? She’s not a construction worker. Though she might be working some “construction sites” on the side.

If there’s one thing we go ga-ga over here at Gearfuse, it’s a kickass set of LEGOs. This Watchmen set? No exception. It was created by Jordan Schwartz and the neat thing is, each character is made from original LEGO parts. That’s right. No hand-painted nonsense here, folks. Just good ol’ fashioned tinkering with LEGOs. I’m personally a fan of the Comedian and Rorschach – they look the most like the original comic.

Just wanted to give you my two cents this morning on what I thought about the Watchmen movie. I read the book about six months ago and while I loved the graphic novel, the movie adaption is pure rubbish. So bad, in fact, that I turned the pirated version of the movie off walked out after 40 minutes in. It was slow. It was dull. My three friends and I all agreed that we would rather be doing anything else in a Saturday night but watching the Watchmen.

So yes, that’s the cold hard truth. Those reviews about it being lackluster? Spot on.

While I doubt in almost every way that this is some officially sanctioned publicity stunt, it doesn’t make this blog, written in the voice and style of Watchmen’s very own ink-blot donning protagonist, Rorschach, any less awesome. He walks the streets at nights, documenting the refuse of the city. And now, he has apparently moved his diary to the interwebz.

Rorschach’s Diary isn’t the greatest produced blog of all time. I mean, it IS on Livejournal. Though the frequent postings and similar graphic style serves as a pretty sweet extension to an already classic universe.

I’m sure this would have popped in his mind at some point.

$25, a keen knowledge of graphic novels and love for nostalgic gaming required. Wocka wocka wocka wocka wocka…

Despite the ongoing legal battle between 20th Century FOX and Warner Bros. over Watchmen rights, Warner is still flinging press material left and right. Found in some Brazillian publication called SET, there’s four new close-ups of characters from the movie. Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian and the chick who’s fucking Night Owl (sorry, I just finished reading it and already forget half the book) all make an appearance that really gets me hyped for the 2009 release of the movie.
