SPOILERS AHEAD.

Since Mass Effect 3's ending doesn't really do the greatest job of telling you what happens next, fans are filling in the gaps. Some are doing the wrong thing and being totally serious about it.

Others are giving the game an Animal House-style, 80's comedy epilogue. Which, now that it's here, I'm just going to treat as canon.

For all the Earth's problems, many of which are ugly things, all it takes is a trip into space to remind us that this giant ball of dirt can still be a remarkable, beautiful place.

This stunning footage was taken from the International Space Station. If it helps you to put on some Vangelis or the Mass Effect soundtrack to set the mood, don't let me stop you.

There's a prequel to the latest Battlestar Galactica series on the way, dealing with the adventures of a certain Bill Adama during the first Cylon War.

Here's the series' first trailer, which it appears somebody snuck out of last weekend's Wondercon. It looks exciting, and surprisingly expensive. Then again, it's a trailer. It's supposed to look good. Whether the actual show (filmed almost entirely on green screen) can live up to this is anyone's guess!

The series is called Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. It began filming last year, and while it was at one point mooted as a candidate for being an online-only affair, this looks too awesome to not get the big (well, bigger-than-a-monitor) screen treatment.

The fine folks at animation house Blur make some of the best video game trailers and cinematics in the business. So it's a treat, as always, to be able to feature their work here on Fine Art.

This morning, we're looking at Jason Martin, formerly of Blur but now working at Doom creators id Software as a character artist. While at Blur, Jason helped on the studio's Star Wars: Old Republic and Resident Evil projects, among others.

We've actually featured his stuff before, but Jason has since updated his site with more recent work, so we're featuring it again.

In addition to the Old Republic and Raccoon City stuff, there are also 3D models from Knights Contract , Batman: Arkham City and DC Universe Online.

To see more, head to Jason's personal site.

This is Videros, a cosplayer from Germany. You needed that intro because, for all intents, he may as well actually be Deus Ex star Adam Jensen, complete with future pants, fancy jacket and snappy sunglasses.

About the only thing he's missing is a shot of him eating cereal, but it looks like it was taken at a convention, so we'll let that one slide.

For more great Deus Ex cosplay, see this previous post.

There's a beautiful crackpot in Seattle who is selling a Star Wars Tie Fighter on Craigslist. Not a little toy, or a model that sits on your desk. He's selling 8 foot x 8 foot replica. Which you can sit in.

No idea what it was built for, but it's on wheels, will hold a 300-pound pilot and has blasters that actually fire (though they fire party poppers, not hot green laser death).

All this can be yours for $150. Good hunting.

In January, publisher Namco Bandai said that a petition to have cult hit Dark Souls ported to the PC had its "attention". Now, an Australian PC magazine is teasing something a little more substantial.

The newest PC Powerplay mag has hit newsstands, and its back page, teasing next month's issue (pictured above), isn't very subtle. It's got splashed all over it the game's trademark YOU DIED prompt, in the right font and everything.

Given the fact the magazine only hit stands this week, and that Namco are engaged in one of those awful LIKE US FOR NEWS scams over on its Facebook page, the likelihood of this being confirmed later this week actually seems pretty damn high.

Still, it's all 100% unconfirmed at this point, so don't get too excited, OK?

Nazi zombies are the stars of both movies and video games. With good reason. You combine a Nazi and a zombie and you've got twice the bad guy.

The premise is now set in (poly)stone with this statue from Sideshow, which shows an undead member of the 1000-year Reich in full lurch. As with most premium Sideshow statues it'll cost $350 when it's released later this year. You should be able to get one from your local comics store or favourite online toy retailer.

This clip, called The Duel, is based loosely on a 2006 animated short called...The Duel. Only this time it's in LEGO and shot in stop-motion, which makes it three minutes of your time well spent.

The animation was done by Namchild, who says that no CGI was used whatsoever, and that only PhotoShop was employed to edit out the wires necessary for the hot ninja action.

DeviantArt user batman-n-bananas made a very fetching steampunk Portal gun. But what to wear with such a contraption? Why, mechano-Victorian long fall boots, of course, in which fancy modern tech is swapped out for reliable British steel.

These are wonderful. And while they fit the "Steampunk Portal" brief perfectly, I like to think they'd be just as suitable for a future in which Mary Poppins wanders a post-apocalyptic wasteland, killing mutants with her salvaged umbrella swords.
