The creepy and unsettling image making the rounds last week that purportedly depicted a zombie-like creature lurking in a Louisiana backwater was, surprise surprise, a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming game, Resistance 3.

As the story goes, a hunting stand out in the middle of nowhere had a digital camera set up, and the shots of the thing were captured before it smashed the camera up, leaving the memory card intact. The freaked out camera owner posted the pics to a gaming website, as you do when you encounter a pants-peeable cryptid in the middle of nowhere and it could have followed you home.

Playstation Lifestyle connected the “sighting” to this tweet from Insomniac Games about the upcoming release of Resistance 3:

Whoops… looks like one got out. If you see a Grim on the loose… please return to Insomniac Games, Burbank, CA: http://bit.ly/fqGoXX #fb

While the tale’s debunking hasn’t gotten much attention, the original story hit many mainstream media outlets, including several local affiliate news shows and Britain’s Daily Mail.

Creepy, unidentified Louisiana beast is viral videogame advert is a post from: The Inquisitr

Clearly, this dude was out walking his Montauk Monster when it got off the leash- it explains the anguished look.

The image and video below have captured the imagination of the internet this morning- some guys from Louisiana who have chosen to remain nameless submitted the pics from a deer hunting stand in Berwick. The camera was unmanned and broken, presumably by the unidentified thing, but the memory card was intact and the camera’s owners say the image was found on the card.

Local news describes the thing in the pic:

It looks like a cross between a human and an animal, with long slender appendages and glowing eyes.

The hunter says he just hopes it’s a vegetarian, if he runs into it in the woods again.

Bad attempt at viral internet fame? Zombie? Alien? Amy Winehouse? Do you have an explanation for the creepy creature supposedly caught on film in the woods in Louisiana?

If you want a high end headset that combines style with sound, you’ve probably been looking to no available for quite some time now. I’m happy to say your wait is over thanks to the Beats By Dre line of Monster headsets.

Revealed at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas tonight, the new line of headsets looks to bring studio and club sounds to listeners, while as Interscope records CEO Jimmy Lovine said, bringing back the emotion of the music that has become distorted by digital audio.

The “Head Monster” Noel Lee started the night out by entering the suite where the event was held on his segway, introducing everyone to why the line was started and then bringing out Loving who quickly introduced Dr. Dre.

After a few quick words Dre then helped unveil two new over the ears headset. The first unit, the Solo HD, is a headset designed to bring users the sounds of the studio environment, in, as the name would suggest, full High Definition quality.  The headsets on display, a crisp red colored unit was sleek and stylish with a nice glossy paint job that should impress any audiophile.

The next reveal was a headset aimed at taking the sounds of the club to the user, without needed to crank the volume past 10. As Loving pointed out, kids these days listen to their music at increasing sound levels to bring out the emotions of the music which are often lost throughout the recording and dubbing process. The unit is a headset designed with DJ’s in mind and as the name suggests it allows users to swivel the headset away from the users ear, a popular function provided by DJ’s when spinning.

Here’s Jimmy Lovine’s son, who is a DJ himself showing off the swivel feature:

Here’s another look at the DJ inspired headset:

Looking at the bottom of the headsets users will also find two input jacks, the perfect option for choosing which side your cord hangs from, while also allowing for “daisy chaining” headsets to one another as the user sees fit.

Finally P. Diddy was invited to the front of the room where he unveiled his DittyBeats earbud headset which combines leather with cool colors for both genders, including a stark white offering he was sporting, a black option and a pink option for the ladies. The earbuds look well fashioned for comfort and their sleek well thought out finish should be a nice option for users looking at headsets that offer more fashion and higher quality than Shure and other top notch options.

Diddy said he got involved because Dr. Dre is one of his hero’s, while also telling stories about his childhood and music:

My mother played music for me as a child, and I grew up loving the way music made me feel. It brought out joy and pain. It was my first career, my first love,” he went on to say. “No matter how many roads I travel, my heart always takes me back there. Music is my life, and Diddy Beats is an expression of how great sound makes me feel.”

Finally the entire team announced their participation in the U2 led “Project Red” which will donate part of the proceeds earned from each red colored Solo HD

Overall I was extremely happy with the new Beats by Dre offerings and I can’t wait to see more from the team at Interscope and Monster, hopefully in the very near future.

Just for the heck of it, here’s a few pictures of Dr. Dre and P. Diddy at the party:

Monster Wows At Beats By Dre Reveal, P. Diddy Helps Unveil Diddy Beats Earbuds is a post from: The Inquisitr

Remember back in July of last year when the web was a buzz about some monster that showed up in Montauk, on the eastern tip of Long Island? Well it looks like history is repeating itself but this time we have the video to go with it.

On Wednesday May 5th 2009, I was contacted by a couple that sent a message to the general e-mail box on this website claiming they think they’ve found what appears to be the Montauk Monster. Naturally, I questioned it thinking it was BS, but they seemed credible enough (after a phone conversation of course) to take an hour drive to Southhold and see it for myself up close and personal.

Upon discovery, it resembled what everyone saw last summer. This monster was located in Southold, NY on the Bay Area. For those who are unfamiliar with the area, this is the North Fork of Long Island. The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage. It really smelled horrific. I couldn’t help but take numerous pictures of it and video clips.
