Things We Saw Today: We’ve Got Your Gamer Certification RIGHT HERE

We fully recommend that you show this… card to anyone who questions your gamer cred. And for the same low price of free, it even works for nerd and geek cred, too! What a bargain!

• Lionsgate, the film distributor behind the Hunger Games movies, has made a “significant investment” in Telltale Games, and our fingers and toes and everything else are suddenly crossed for Hunger Games games. (via CBR)
• Gaze upon the human face behind the voice of the male player character in Firefly Online and try to contain your excitement. (Spoiler: it’s Wil Wheaton.) (via Firefly Online)

Here are some eclairs shaped like cats. Why? Eclairs are yummy, it was cat day in Japan, and we just assumed you’re probably into cats if you’re reading this site. (via Neatorama)

• A CT scan of a Buddha statue revealed that it actually contains a real human mummy in case Doctor Who hadn’t given you enough reason to get freaked out by statues. (via io9)
• Stan Lee took a break from ranting to do something nice by sketching Spider-Man for a young autistic boy named Jamel Hunter. (via CBR)

So cute! Thank you for the POP #Lagertha dolls. #Vikings
