If someone wanted to know what heavy metal music is, you could do a lot worse than hand them a copy of Dio‘s finest work, Holy Diver.

Amazon is currently offering you the chance to download Holy Diver for $5 as part of their December 100 MP3 Deals for $5.

“Stand Up And Shout,” “Holy Diver,” and “Rainbow In The Dark” are among the greatest metal tunes ever written with some huge guitar riffs. This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time.

As always this offer expires at the end of the month so download before December 31, 2011 11:59 PST. If you would prefer a physical copy the CD version is available for $7.99.

There’s something wholly amusing about taking something popular and re-editing it to look like it belongs in a completely different genre than it does. It’s been done plenty of times before, and it’s been done again here with the hit sitcom Modern Family.

Scriptwrecked has taken the comedy and put together a lengthy five-minute-long movie trailer presenting it as a new horror movie along the same lines of an Orphan or The Good Son.

Having not seen the show it’s assumed that this video is not as funny as it could be, but for those of you who do watch you’ll surely get a kick out of the video, which can be seen below.

Artist Madeleine Flores, creator of the comic The Girl and the Gorilla, was recently ended up in the emergency room in a neck brace and thanks to her lack of healthcare plan, she now has some unexpected large medical bills to pay off. Therefore, she’s lowered the prices on some of her artwork over at her site Little Love Monster.

She’s got some really cute stuff, like the Batman-themed print at top here called Batman and Friends, which you can purchase. You’d not only be supporting an indie comics creator and artist, but helping out someone in need who could use the money for their medical bills.

Marvel is killing two birds with one stone: they’re offering a deal to celebrate the holidays and getting readers ready for next year’s big Avengers vs. X-Men mega event. From now through December 30, 2011 at 11:59pm EST, Marvel is offering a selection of digital titles featuring the stars of the upcoming event for $.99 cents each. They’ve titled the sale AVENGERS VS X-MEN: MAJOR PLAYERS.

Millions of people spend small amounts of money to obtain virtual items for their video game characters or avatars to wear and use proudly. But how many people do you know have spent a small fortune for one single video game item?

A Chinese man did just that, paying $16,000 for a one-of-a-kind sword in the upcoming martial arts MMO, Age of Wulin. The man won the honor of paying such a price for the virtual item through an auction put on by Snail Games, the maker of the title. Other notable acquisitions included two sheathes—one for the Hook of Departure and one for a Lordly Spear—which sold for $2,500 and $1,600.

You can see a trailer for the game below.
