I already knew Mega Man was awesome. And Mega Man 2? Doubly so. That’s pretty much a no-brainer.The same can be said for the electric guitar, for yea, it is the only object known to man from which pure concentrated awesomery flows. However! You may be unprepared when these two crackling pillars of unadulterated awesomeforce [...]
What’s the deal with Lost’s Jacob? You know, that weird dude hanging around the island, being kind of invisible, making people immortal? Well, your guess is as good as mine. Actually, I take that back: my guesses are better. Here are five of them that I challenge you to beat.
When The House passed health care reform legislation last week, conservatives across the country immediately took to bellyaching loudly about socialism, President Obama, Obamacare, and Obama’s socialistic agenda. Surprising, no? All of these themes were woven into an elegiac fugue about the beautiful and dead dream once known as the United States of America. But [...]
If you’re a Facebook user, chances are you’ve noticed a friend’s post, and said one of the following things to yourself: “Goddammit, enough with the Farmville!” OR “Goddammit, enough with the Foursquare!” In the case of the former, you may have said that about Mafia Wars, Petville, Roller Coaster Kingdom, or Cafe World instead. In the case of the [...]
Don’t get me wrong: I don’t care about Katy Perry, any girls she may have kissed, or the degree to which she enjoyed said kisses. Notheless, I feel it is our duty ( you know, our duty as a super-low traffic blog) to report on the rumors that are flying around about her role as [...]

Calling a woman a hot piece of ass is wrong, do you hear me? Wrong! Offensive! Inappropriate! We’ve also already discussed the inherent douchbaggery of playing Farmville, so if you do both, it should be no surprise when a sassy bespectacled fury armed with a dry-erase board comes after you as if she were a spider monkey and you were made of bananas.

After considering the many clever ways I could introduce the video of Justin Beiber’s face colliding with an airborne water bottle, I decided that the best way would be to tell you that this video features Justin Bieber’s face colliding with an airborne water bottle. Continue Reading

Brief history lesson: a long time ago, in a galaxy… that we’re in right now, it was a period of cable tv war. Rebel stations, striking with a seemingly hidden viewership, had won some ad revenue away from larger networks.
It is unlikely that many of you understood that I was leading into a rant about G4 TV which used to be called TechTV, which was called ZDTV before that. See, back then (circa ‘98), Leo LaPorte was holdin’ it down on The Screen Savers, talking about gadgets and all manner of technological and computerized whatnot before such a thing was en vogue. More on this later. Continue Reading

One of my favorite rappers, mc chris (you may know him as the voice of MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Hesh on Sealab 2021), has made something of a name for himself by rapping about Star Wars and other nerd fare with encyclopedic knowledge, and his most recent about Twin Peaks is no different. He didn’t include it on any albums, he posted it online, someone made a video the same day, and it blew the fuck up on YouTube. Fire up your Twin Peaks memories, kids, and get ready for the chorus.

I thought about going with a funny title, but no, this pioneer deserves better. Maybe something about Heaven or Hell or some such.

I had made a secret resolution never ever to mention the iPad on this site… and I just broke it. For no reason. Go, me!
If you share my hatred for the device-that-cannot-be-named and all it stands for, then you’ll probably be pretty excited to learn of it’s less evil Android-based alternative, the WePad. Specs, availability, and a nice big image, ahoy! Continue Reading

The last time I played D&D with my friends, I played as my halfling rogue. I had honed his skills in the art of stealth and assassination, but doubt lurked in my mind when we went on our latest campaign. Our party was surrounded by hostile mud monsters; the GM asked me what I’d like to do, perhaps he supposed something sneaky or dexterous, but I thought, as a hobbit assassin, this would be an ideal moment for my character to have a whimsical flashback sequence of his days as a young halfing playing in a field of tall grass and wildflowers, well before he fell in with a morally questionable group of mud-monster-fighting adventurers. The problem was that my choices were entirely limited to sneaky or dexterous things.
Sleep is Death, a new video game by Jason Rorher, has no such problem. It is uses something much more primitive than even the simplest AI or game engine to generate the occurances within the game, but it so much more powerful that could generate a virtually infinite amount of levels.

I hate a lot of shit. That thing you’re looking at now? I probably hate it. I’ma bona fide hater, as in I hate in good faith, as in I have every confidence that whatever stupid thing you think is totally clever and great I find lame and insipid. Nonetheless, I’m a rank amateur when compared to Kingsley, the virtuoso of hate. He hates birds, for Christ’s sake.
My man, if you ever want to write for a blog with readers in the double digits, we have much to discuss. I bow to the master.
