Photofit: Self-Portraits
From Studio8 Design's website, this awesome project...
A project for The Guardian Weekend Magazine by Matt Willey and Giles Revell. Fourteen people were asked to create self-portraits, using a police Photofit kit from the 1970s, without referring to photographs or mirror images of themselves. They were then interviewed by Philip Oltermann on the subjects of identity and the self.

Penny Arcade Sells Out
One of the worlds leading and most prolific webcomics has initiated this interesting kickstarter(though with some pretty lacklustre if amusing rewards), aiming to rid itself of all advertising on their site (which currently keeps them and over a dozen employees employed). They are an inspiration to me as a creative, so I'll be interested to see how this pans out.
Regardless, it's a fantastic web comic that I read and listen to (its videocasts); though perhaps only of interest to the 'videogame and pop culture like-minded' (explicit)

Paperockcast
I've just finished listening to friend and ex-colleague; Paul Houlihan's Podcast, the Paperockcast. Going strong at eight episodes, it's a good production with a relaxing if spirited 'on the couch' style discussion of games new and old- As well as finishing up with a regular Group gaming session... Check it out (explicit).

The Star Wars That I Used to Know
If you're familiar with the rather stunning Gotye 'Somebody That I Used To Know ' (featuring Kimbra) track and you're a Star Wars fan still smarting from the prequels, you might enjoy the below parody by teddiefilms
Videogame Trailers: TF2
TF2 (Team Fortress 2) is a great, free to play, multiplayer FPS (First Person Shooter) with a long history.
My real interest in it is the art direction; which apart from a gorgeous, highly stylised design aesthetic carries over wonderfully into the various 'promo' videos which introduce each character.
They are cartoonly violent, dark humoured and a stand out example of how to holistically create a video game universe and experience... and so enjoyable to watch.
The Pyro (above) has just been released but check out the other videos. Also, have a look at this interesting and powerful open source movie maker used by Valve to create these movies!
