World Superhero Registry – Ever dreamed of putting on a costume and fighting crime? Actually put on a costume and go out to fight crime? Then this website is for you. While a large number of individuals on the site are actually poseurs, the purpose of the site is for vigilantes to see that they’re not alone and work together. I’m not even joking. Whether the creators intended for the site to be a legitimate crime-fighting social network or just a tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun, they certainly designed the website to take itself seriously.

Dr. Horrible on DVD – Joss Whedon pimps it for me pretty well here, but if you’ve already seen it, you should just go ahead and buy it. The commentary is its own separate musical that must be heard to be believed.

9 – Trailer for the animated feature, produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, director of Night Watch (iTunes), Day Watch (iTunes), and Wanted (iTunes). Currently, the one movie I’m seriously excited about come autumn.

Games

Passage – Some of you that know me have heard me talk about this game before. It’s a simple, minimalistic, 5-minute, expressionist life-journey in game form. It recently became available for the iPhone for $0.99 and is an excellent buy if you like to help support true visionaries in the gaming genre.

Burn the Rope – Another minimalist game, this one is a simple Flash game that takes less than a minute to enjoy (but give it 5 minutes of your time and it’s even better). The art work and style of the game are very neo-retro and well worth brief distraction from productivity the game provides.

Warfare Incorporated – I’ve talked about this one on the blog before, so skip it if you read it already. While not as minimalist as the two games above, this game is incredible for the very simple reason that it is essentially Command & Conquer for the iPhone. It’s $5, but it’s totally worth it, especially as it has over 200 downloadable maps available for it beyond the built-in campaign. The devs are also hard at work adding in multiplayer support for future revisions, so check it out.
