Sometimes interests and recommendations converge in unexpected ways. This time, it was learning about recent recommendation Partyshank, only to discover the talent of remixer In Digital Form. I may be a bit biased, but I like some of his selections for mixing and mashing:

I'd like to say more about this later, but Crayon Physics looks awesome:

This seems custom fit for the DS, but I'd certainly love to play the current version. One user demonstrates a Miyazaki-themed solution to one of the puzzles:

The biggest concern at the moment seems to be that the open-endedness of the game doesn't give you much incentive to be ( Read more... )

And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in jaggers eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

His name was always buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the wonder kid
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
Its a crash course for the ravers
Its a drive-in Saturday

When I was much younger I used to confuse:

Burt Reynolds with Tom Selleck
Kevin Costner with Mel Gibson
Dom Deluise with Paul Prudhomme
Michael Landon with Macgyver

These days, I don't do this, but I do think that:

Katy Perry looks like Zoey Deschanel.

For some reason, I could keep the entire cast of Battle Royale straight (mostly non-descript asian ( Read more... )

Per invitation, I decided to go to Chips & Salsa to watch Florida pummel Oklahoma. Stewart has started calling the Gators the "Florida Tebows", which is fucking genius and pretty much explains my feelings about the team. Still, it's nice to see the SEC showing up strong, especially after that embarrassment that was the Utah vs Alabama game.

I never ( Read more... )

Microsoft announces a new Windows? Already? Windows 7 beta coming soon. And I'm still running XP Home Edition.

I wish I could go to CES.

A Coworker asked me the other day if you can browse the web on a 360. The answer is that you can, if you have XP or Vista Media Center Edition. Unfortunately, it's merely a proxy, but you'll still be browsing on ( Read more... )

This last weekend I backpacked 17 miles of the Savage Gulf at the South Cumberland State Park with a coworker and some of the boys from a Scout troop he mentors. They needed another adult leader and Arthur asked me if I would volunteer. I had worked with the troop a few years back, so I knew some of the kids that were going and was happy to help ( Read more... )

My comment is in regards to Robert Pelloni's "Bob's Game", which came to my attention through various gaming websites (IGN.com, Kotaku, etc). I would love to be able to play Bob's Game and I would like to see Nintendo grant Robert Pelloni an authorized developer's license so that he can get his game published. I don't understand all the details, ( Read more... )

My dad won a Nintendo DS as a door prize at his company's Christmas party last week. Human Resources asked him the other day if he'd had a chance to try it out yet and he told them he didn't know what it was but that he'd open it at Christmas. When he showed it to me, I told him what it was and he said "Oh. I'm not really that into games. Maybe ( Read more... )

Last night Greg(ory) stopped by. We hung out and drank some Christmas beers and happened to catch the ten o'clock news, a super-rare occurance for me. While dodging commercials, I ended up on WAAY 31 and I have to say that their female news anchor Karen Adams was totally drunk on camera. She didn't seem to be aware that she was louder than the ( Read more... )
