Adventure Time Tees for the Younger Crowd

Okay, so while we grown-ups have Mighty Fine for our Adventure Time T-shirting needs, Bioworld (purveyors of, er, “lifestyle merchandise”) has gone and released a boatload of tees for the show’s shorter fans (kids!). There’s, like, eighteen of them here on Amazon (they’re all boys shirts; sorry, girls). So, boys, go hit up Mom and Dad for those credit cards. Now!

Who Wants To Play Video Games?

Here’s your first look at D3P and Cartoon Network Enterprise’s premiere Adventure Time video game, available this fall. And here’s what may or may not be your first look at the network’s press release:

OH MY GLOB! THIS IS LEGENDARY! D3Publisher AND CARTOON NETWORK ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIP and VIDEO GAME for ADVENTURE TIME

Play as Finn and Jake, in the Magical Land of Ooo, in the First Ever Interactive Title Based on the Hit Comedy Series, Adventure Time™: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!

LOS ANGELES – May 8, 2012 – Ready for a mathematical, algebraic, radical time? D3Publisher (D3P), a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, and Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) today officially announced the upcoming release of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!, a video game based on the popular Cartoon Network series, Adventure Time. This is the first Adventure Time video game that will release on the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and Nintendo DS™ hand-held system late fall.

In the first licensed Adventure Time video game, Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King. Jake couldn’t care less about half-eaten bananas, crumpled up burrito wrappers, and old chicken diapers – but when they find out the Ice King is using their stolen goods to construct a Garbage Princess, the heroes embark on a fantastical adventure to teach him a lesson! Journey through the Land of Ooo in an offbeat adventure and discover perilous dungeons and unimaginable treasures, while playing as Finn and Jake in a unique action-adventure experience.

Working alongside the game’s developer WayForward is the series’ creator Pendleton Ward, who is designing a new storyline and quests for the game.

“Adventure Time fans have been asking for a video game to complement the series for some time, and we are working directly with Pendelton Ward, who has an amazing vision for the game,” said Peter Andrew, vice president of product development, D3P. “Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! will be a fan’s golden ticket into the elusive Adventure Time universe and will capture the random fun and adventure we all love about the series.”

Adventure Time is the pop culture sensation, Emmy-nominated, top-rated show among kids, and its popularity continues to soar both on air and at retail. The series follows Finn, an adventure-seeking kid and Jake, his shape-shifting canine best friend, on their adventures in the Land of Ooo. The awesome duo save princesses, battle the notorious princess-kidnapper, the Ice King, party in Lumpy Space, fight in dungeons, and even befriend Marceline the Vampire Queen. Since the start of its fourth season, Adventure Time is the #1 program on Mondays on all television with kids 6-11.

“The rich and diverse characters in the Adventure Time world are absolutely perfect for a video game franchise and working with D3Publisher, WayForward and Pendelton Ward, we have a great team in place to bring it to life,” said Pete Yoder, vice president of consumer products, Cartoon Network Enterprises. “This game will provide the Land of Ooo experience that young fans will love.”

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!, is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB. Additional details about the game will be available in the coming months.

From last night’s “In Your Footsteps.”

And apologies if the ending was spoiled by Cartoon Network’s promos leading up to the episode. As Kryten over on ToonZone pointed out, “That ending would’ve been so shocking IF WE HADN’T ALREADY SEEN IT EVERY FIVE MINUTES FOR THE LAST WEEK…”

Attention, design nerds.

One of favorite people at tumblr is Peter Vidani, who overlords one of the most important and interesting groups at the company. As you can read in the interview below, design at tumblr has a significantly different role than at most Silicon Valley tech companies. The disparity has a lot to do with the company’s roots in New York City (rather than engineering centric Northern California) and even more about the vision of founder/CEO David Karp.
