I Love Glitches in Games

This gave me a helluva chuckle.

The 90's in 94 Seconds

Maybe you were born in 1985 and remember growing up to these things, but I was just finishing high school and moving on to college. Then afterwards: first apartment, first time going out to the bars with my buddies, first time out on my own... the 90's hold a very dear spot in my memory. So, even though this is geared more towards growing up in the 90's, it still elicited a shit-ton of awesome memories for me.

Deep Fried Dr Pepper Cake Balls?!

Jaw dropped to floor. Hand clutched to chest. Slight gasp.

DEEP FRIED DR PEPPER CAKE BALLS

This.
Sounds.
Fucking.
Awesome.

Video Game Zombies

I love zombies. Purists will note that I don't just like reanimated-dead-corpse style zombies, but also the infected-by-a-virus style, Haitian voodoo zombies, and other iterations (maybe some day I'll explain my theory of how the notion of "zombie" has changed over the years as a reflection of our current fears).

Zombie movies (Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, etc), zombie comics (Walking Dead, Crossed, etc), and especially zombie video games (Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, etc) - these are a few of my favorite things.

Here's a cool little article on the history of zombies in video games courtesy of GamePro.

Real World PipBoy 3000

A wearable, plastic mock up of the PipBoy 3000 came packaged with one of the collector's editions of the game Fallout 3. You can find instructables out there to gut it and insert an iPod Touch, which is pretty cool. But, how about a real world PipBoy 3000? Check this linkage out. Per that site: The Zypad® WR1100 rugged wrist-worn personal computer (PC) is a powerful wearable computing device designed for harsh environmental conditions that can be worn comfortably on the user’s wrist for hands-free operation. The WR1100 is designed to meet MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E requirements, making it an ideal solution for military, homeland defense, first responder, security, and emergency service field and in-vehicle applications.

Then again, there's always the iArm Forearm Mount!

Star Wars Retro Mashups

Some cool (and some not so cool) mashups of classic movie scenes, paintings, etc with Star Wars themes. I think my favorite is the Death Star/Moses parting the Red Sea.

Awesome Transformers 2 Review

I know this is an oldie, but my wife just watched the movie for the first time a little bit ago and this article came to mind. It's pretty spoilerific so if you haven't seen it yet and don't want anything ruined, then do not read on.

But, seriously. It's Transformers 2. Can it really BE spoiled?

Bonus! Rob's Transformers 2 F.A.Q.s!

It dawned on me at about 4am last night when I was finishing my review that 2500 words might not be enough to fully describe the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen experience. Additionally, I really didn't get much into the plot, as I was so busy explaining why it was a fundamentally shitty movie. So I took a little time to interview myself about the movie's story in order to help you understand what RotF is all about. Hope it helps!

Freeze. Pan. Zoom. Enhance.

The various CSIs and Law and Orders are the worst at this, but check out this awesome montage.






Freeze that.
Pan right.
Zoom in.
Enhance.
Focus on the reflection.
Enhance again.
Zoom again.
Pan again.
Freeze again. 
Insert technobabble that doesn't make sense but sounds smart with words like "bitmaps," "algorithms," and "GUIs."

Recipe for Chocolate Chip Blondies

This piece of genius is not my work, though I wish I could take credit because it's damned awesome.

Alright you assraping shitcocks, it's time to enrich your motherfucking lives.
Time to do something productive for a change and learn something new.
We're making Chocolate Chip Blondies so listen the fuck up, you worthless wastes of carbon, because I don't want to have to repeat myself.

Space Invaders and Grandma Rapers

Want bedding to make your bed look like a giant NES? How about tiles in your shower that are placed like the pixels that make up Space Invaders? Here are ten ways to "game up your home."

Dude rapes and kills his neighbor... with hot sauce. No, seriously. Oh, and then the cops found (air quotes) his DNA on the victim's chest. Yikes.

Join the Zombie Research Society! You'll get a cool membership shirt, survival packet, and learn how to survive in a post apocalyptic world.

Here's an example of a fine, upstanding fellow. Coolio decides it's awesome to rob his grandparents. After the robbery is reported, he decides he needs to shut them up and destroy the evidence. So, he kills his grandfather and then, get this, rapes his grandmother. And then kills her. And then lights candles in the kitchen and leaves the gas stove running full bore. It's too bad fuckfaces like him are allowed to suck up my air.
