Yes, in advance of her appearances at Comic-Con, Alison did a little role-playing for a photo shoot, and Nerdist has been honored as the exclusive site for the pictures’ debut. They’re like she was dropped right into a James Bond movie, or a video game, or both.

Here she is, having just dropped two guards at a secret rebel base, inspecting the damage to her fingernails:

And here, she’s doing her best about-to-spring-out-and-shoot-the-guard pose:

Finally, having shot the guy in the first stall, she’s ready to take another big enemy guard out. Can she spare a square? I don’t think that’s really an issue at this point:

The photo credit goes to Dave Cox and Wil Wells of Elevendy, and they’re at www.elevendy.com. They did a great job — give ‘em a hand.

Oh, right, where will Alison (I don’t feel qualified to call her “Slippy” like Chris does) be at Comic-Con? Here’s her schedule:

Thursday
1-3p: “Friends of the Nerdolution” panel & autograph signing at Zachary Levi’s Nerd HQ — that’s the place you heard Zach talk about on the podcast. It’s at Jolt’n Joes, 379 4th Ave., in the Gaslamp District at 4th and J, a couple of blocks from the Convention Center.

Friday

Saturday

Sad Keanu? Nyan Cat? All the time-wasters you’ve sent to friends, family, and unsuspecting acquaintances all these years?  Fred Willard says he came up with them all, and Fred Willard is waiting for your money at the Taco Bell. Do not keep Fred Willard waiting.

HT: Our own Jonah Ray

See! Some dreams DO come true! Even if those dreams are fueled by a failing economic system and crack.

Made by Jonah Ray & Wade Randolph. Special appearances by a glasses-less Steve Agee & adult filmstress April O’Neil.

Come on out.  Both shows.  You know you want to.

Maybe.

G4 reports that Activision has dropped the next GH edition from its development schedule and is disbanding the business unit that develops the game. Might it come back in another year or two? Possibly. But some things run their course, and Guitar Hero did that.

In some ways, it’s a shame. GH, and its rival Rock Band, were the perfect party video games, fun for non-gamers and almost the perfect universal fantasy — everyone dreams of being a rock star. But you can’t play it forever. And the novelty of adding more songs wears off, leaving you with a few dozen songs you can’t hear on the radio again without thinking “green-green-green-red-green-yellow-yellow-blueGREENRED… damn.” Plus one or two you can do well enough to impress the other, more intoxicated partygoers (“hey, I didn’t know you could play ‘Bulls On Parade’!”).

Okay, gamers, are you bummed? Surprised? Indifferent? What was your best Guitar Hero song?  And what other gaming franchises ought to give it a rest, too?  Comments below….

If you see Kevin walking down the street sporting a seriously chompy cameltoe, this is why. I was GOING to sell it for a fortune on ebay because Ladies Love Cool K, but sadly a homeless guy ate it when it fell out of my pocket while giving him change. He said it tasted familiar, which I found to be an odd remark.

You’re still one of my favorite people, though, Kev!

This picture was taken at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. Yes, that is my hand. Normally I would agree that the “that thing looks like a dong!” comedy is low brow even for me, BUT THIS TREE REALLY LOOKS LIKE A DONG. Either this tree mounts other trees to reproduce or is pollinated by really slutty bees. The only thing this imagery was missing was sap dribbling out of the end. If  someone kicked or punched it we could put it on Web Soup (or launch Tree Soup for the best viral tree nut shots around).

On that tip, please watch an all-new Web Soup tonight on G4 at 5p/8p PT/ET immediately following Attack of the Show! It’s our second to last new ep of the season so let’s keep this Dream Factory alive!

Treeners!!!
