Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: an honest trailer for Michael Bay‘s Transformers, HP Lovecraft & Nikola Tesla as paranormal investigators, a fan-made Blade trailer, a customized Star Trek Starfleet Academy diploma, and Will Smith does the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air rap, plus Bits Of Doom.

Some new pictures from the set of Peter Jackson‘s adaptation of The Hobbit have made their way to the ‘net, and they’re worth a peek.

Usually after official images and a trailer have been released for a movie, set pics mean very little. But for fans of Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy who are eager for the new movie, these new images offer a bird’s eye view of the farm where Hobbiton was built, including Bilbo Baggins’ Bag End residence. As you might already know, it’s quite the beautiful area.

Check out the images below.

The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a mash-up of The Avengers and Reservoir Dogs called “Avengerer Dogs” by Crocktees.

The shirt went on sale at RIPT today, Tuesday, May 22, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

Today, Tuesday, May 22, 2012, TeeFury is lowering their usual low price ($10) to the even lower price of $6 for their latest t-shirt Grab Bag sale!

How it works is you select your size and quantity and pay $6 plus shipping per shirt, then Teefury will randomly pick one of their previous limited-edition t-shirts to send you. You can order up to 12 shirts per size. Also, there won’t be any duplicates, so if 12 shirts are ordered, none will be identical.

The $6 Grab Bag deal is only for today until 11:59pm EST, so get in on it while you can! It’s a great chance to get your hands on a hot item you missed out on before.
