Oh good. I'm back.
This really is quite amazing. Lilly!
Monopoly. The movie. No kidding. Directed by Ridley Scott.
Hey, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are making a movie together.
Hey, look. Hellboy 2.
What you need is a Brazillian name. You know, in case you ever accidentally become a soccer star.

We're going to West Virginia For Christmas. Wish us luck!
I had no interest, really, in seeing The Kingdom. But here's the first four minutes of it. A neat little lesson in Middle East Conflict plays behind the credits. Worth the watch.
Hooray! Blood Bowl Video Game!
Since we're road tripping soon, here's a handy guide for packing a bag.
Sometimes Cracked.Com writes a pretty good article.
15 Awesome things you didn't know existed. I totally want that toaster.
This is weird. The Beatles sing Stairway to Heaven.
Oh, look. The Hobbit. Bet no one will make a big deal out of this...
Binocular Soccer. This is actually pretty good.
Soulvaki Tetris. I had to post at least one game, right? Be warned. It's loud. Or my headphones are.
Speaking of Tetris. This is awesome.
Oh. My. God. Look at this. It's a Dragonlance trailer. Why does it suck? Because, I mean, just look at it. It sucks right? It's not going to stop sucking just because you're not looking. It's lurking there, sucking, even when you're not paying attention to it. And they stuck the D&D logo on it. Why does everything that has the Dungeons and Dragons trademark attached to it have to suck? Why?

COMMENTS PEOPLE!
Mass Attack is pretty cool.
And you can waste a good hour or so with the R2D2 translator.
And there's more Narnia movies coming.
And finally, this made me laugh. Lego Indiana Jones. You gotta watch it all the way to the end for the surprise twist!
Oh, and somebody leave me a comment. I don't care what it is or if it's anonymous or what, it's just nice to know somebody is reading this thing. Not that I'd stop posting if no one was, I'm just saying.

Good Stuff, Gimme the Good Stuff
And this is awesome: Steam Trek.
Want to know what the cat does all day while you're at work? Here's the truth!
New Stephen Chow movie: CJ7.
Seriously? This is the new KITT? Um...go new Knight Rider movie? I guess?
Is this a sequel to this? (Looks like it's not, but it should be. They should at least be in a box set together. Oh, well Kayla will like it, it has Steven Strait in it.)
Apparently Batman is now going to be John Conner and fight the Terminator.
Oooh, neato jellyfish thingy. I want one.
Many of you who know me know that I love John Carpenter Movies. One of my favorites is "The Thing". Most people know it was based on an older movie. Most people don't know it was also based on this story, written in 1938, which is now completely online for free.
OK, that's it for now. Go read the Thing.

Giggity-Games.

Monkey Kickoff How far can the monkey kick?
Drop Kick the Faint Punk rocker kicks a dude to see how far out of the club he can get him.
Space Hamsters Try to get the hamsters to fly.
Kitten Cannon How far will the kitty go?
Puzzle Games:
Puzzle Inlay Blame my wife for this one. She found it.
Theseus and the Minotaur A logic puzzle game. Try to escape the maze.
You Don't Know Jack The Classic trivia game.
Action Games:
Matrix Rampage 2 Actiony jumping game. Kind of reminds me of Elevator Action.
Zebedee Numchuck Race to the top!
Press the Spacebar No, seriously, that's all you do.
Crypt Raider This game and the two that follow it are all similar. They're like Boulder Dash, if you remember that.
Acno More boulderdashy goodness.
Aqua-Energizer Again with the Boulderdash.
Avoision I really like this one. Keep the ball away from the marauding bugs!
Splash Back I might have posted this before. It's kind of neat.
City Smasher Play a GIANT monster trying to destroy a city.
Beliefs Very strange game. Sidescroller mostly, but it's totally weird.
Quadradius Two player elimination game.
Ownage Very nice sidescrolling shooter. Kind of like Cabal. If you remember that.
Zwok This is a weird multi-player war game where you throw things...and yeah.
Fishy Eat fish smaller than you. Get bigger. Rinse. Repeat.
Block Head Zombies Fun. Like lego-headed zombies. Lots of blood.
Campaign Weird strategy game where you try to take over the US as a presidential candidate. Fun for the whole family. Play as a Republican or Democrat. (If it had Get-Up-Licans and Get Down-O-Crats, I'd be happier).
4-Second Frenzy Like Wario Ware. Little 4 second mini-games.
Avalanche Try to climb up before the water gets you. See how high you can go.
High Speed Chase Woot! Fast car.
Text Games:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The original Text adventure. I played this on a C-64.
Trukz I have no idea why (or how) but this is a truck driving text adventure. Maybe my parents will like it.
Oregon Trail Again, I played this on the C-64.
Online MMO or RPG weirdness:
Rings of Orbis I have no idea what this is about.
Duels Or this, but it appears to have something to do with dueling.
Oil Empire Apparently you run some kind of Oil Empire. Probably a resource management game.
Mafia Returns Apparently, you're in the mafia.
Mafia Boss Also, mafia. La Cosa Nostra. Or whatever.
The Last Knights Fantasy.
Conquer Club No idea. Sounds neat though.
Tales of Pirates Woot! Pirates.
Carnage Blender Didn't play it. Don't know.
Sports Games:
Buzzerbeater This is some kind of basketball simulator.
PGA Golf The page looks pretty, but I didn't bother playing it.
Curveball It's like 3-D pong.
Dashabooja I'm barely qualifying this as a sport. It's supposed to be like playing 10 hands of poker at once, but it feels more like a slot machine.

Good Turkey Day
I still didn't sort out all those gamey type things I said I was gonna. I know. I'm a slacker. That's irrelevant at the moment because...well, it's my blog, I guess cause I say so. What are you gonna do?
While you're preparing proper retribution for my not giving you games, go look at bees. Bees are cool.
Ok, fine, so bees leads to B-Movies. Oh man, that was a good segway.
I wish I had one for this. It's just food pairing.
Ok, that's it. Hope you had a good holiday.

Weekend Goodies.
Check out this Squirrel playing dead.
If you're having trouble deciding between the Venison Carcass and the Elk Carcass for Thanksgiving, then...these pictures aren't going to help you.
I love this song.
The great Pizza Orientation Test.
The University of California Marching Band's tribute to Video Games. This is neat.
I find this game Infectious. (Ho ho, I'm so clever).
Free Rice. This is some kind of Vocabulary game, and when you get answers right they send free rice to hungry people. Or something. I didn't really bother reading all of it.
Paint Lines to help the ball get home. It's paintball. But not the kind you would normally think of.
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Woot! I'm semi-famous.
Oh, you probably need the address.
It's here. Also, somewhere over in that direction -> I'm going to add his page to my list of things, which I've been meaning to do for like a month now but gangster rappers are lazy. (If you're a gangster rapper reading this page two things, 1.) You're not lazy. That was just a joke. 2.) What the heck dude, why are you reading this?)
Linkies time:
SPOCK! It's SPOCK!
We all need more Free Comic Books in our lives (via Mangoat).
Hate on Cruise all you want, but I'm going to see this movie: Valkyrie.
It's odd to me that i haven't mentioned Orisinal before, since they do a lot of webgames that always intrigue me. Maybe I have, but I just forgot. I like this one. Anyway, I bring it up because I keep seeing people talking about the Crossing. Which is a very simple game, but might be the most beautiful webgame ever.
Thursday, November 8, 2007
Some other Stuffs:
I want some of these. If you're looking for Christmas Gifts for me or whatnot, these are actually pretty cheap. Though they're sold out of them right now.
This webpage is fantastic. Just let it load and enjoy the show.
Go play NEWTON. It's a tank game.
Or you can go play Pac-Txt. It's like pacman in text adventure form. Actually, that's exactly what it is.

Gas pumps hate me, or something.
I pull up to the gas station, I get out, undo the gas cap, and I check out the pump. Now, normally, I don't look at the instructions for using the gas pump, like I said, I've done this before. But this one caught my eye for some reason, maybe it was it's placement, or the fact that it had big bright white letters or something. Anyway, what it says to do is 1.) Remove the nozzle from the gas pump and then 2.) Select a fuel grade.
This confused me for just a moment, because I'm used to doing what I do first, which is sliding my credit card and telling it either my pin number or my zip code so that it knows it's me. Cause it's not possible that anyone stealing my wallet and ending up with my credit card is going to know my zip code, right? Cause it's not printed on my driver's license or anything. See? Security procedure's working fine.
Anyway, I forgo my normal modus operandi and actually follow the instructions. I refrain from sliding my card first and try to be, you know, all helpful citizen and stuff, doing what the little signs tell me. So I remove the nozzle; I select a fuel grade. At this point, nothing happens. So I'm stumped. The instruction sign ends here. It doesn't say what to do now.
But I'm no fool. I should be able to figure this out. I check out the digital readout on the gas pump. It says "Slide card now." Or, more accurately what it says is 5LIDE CARD NOW, cause the 5 and the S are suspiciously similar. So I 5lide my card.
At this point, the gas pump says "INVALID PAYMENT METHOD" And just starts flashing. Er...Invalid Payment Method? I don't think so. It's a credit card. It worked when I bought lunch with it. Heck, it worked yesterday when I bought gas. Now it's invalid? I don't think so. I think if I'd tried to pay with string that would be INVALID PAYMENT METHOD. I'd like to pay with broken promises and childhood memories, is that ok? INVALID PAYMENT METHOD. Yeah, Ok, I'll buy that. But a credit card? That's VALID PAYMENT METHOD if ever there was one.
So, I gotta trek to the store. This is ok, it's a small parking lot, there's a lady working in there, I go in and tell her what happened. In fact, what I said, cause I'm always trying to be funny is "I think I broke your gas pump." She looks aghast at this news and I quickly follow that up with, "It's just blinking at me." She looks down at her gas pump-o-matic 3000 or whatever and pushes the reset button and says, "Try sliding your card first."
Yeah, thanks lady, from this point on any signs you have posted are pretty much getting ignored. Thanks for the heads up.
So, I go do things like normal and the pump works fine. I'm sitting there looking at the little sign thinking why would you even do something like that? Here's some instructions that don't work! Have a nice day!
But then, tragedy, when I finish pumping my gas, the little digital readout says "RECEIPT INSIDE". I can only assume it means the clerk has my receipt, because if it's inside the gas pump there's not much chance of me getting it without getting arrested or blowed up. So I trek back to the gas station.
Here's where it gets weird.
I go in and tell the clerk, "It says you have my receipt."
She says, "Yeah, here you go."
In another last ditch effort to get at least a chuckle I say, "I guess your gas pump is out to get me."
And here's where it goes off the rails. Her response to that, which I can't for the life of me still understand, is:
"I think all the gas pumps in Texas are out to get you. No offense."
Um...what? I mean, as a general overview of gas prices being high, then yes, I concur, all the gas pumps are out to get me. Not just me, but everyone, it would seem. And if that was her intention, that's fine, but why the "No offense."? Was I supposed to be offended that all the gas pumps are out to gouge me? Not just me but people in general? Was she saying I looked poor? The car I was driving was a rental, a brand new 2008 Black Ford Taurus. It didn't look cheap. It' s not a hooptie. I wasn't wearing a tuxedo or anything, but Lady, you're working at a gas station! No offense.
I still don't know what to make of that.
Anyway, here's some links while you ponder the mystery that is the Lady at the Gas Station's words of wisdom.
STUMP: The game.
Ramps. Another game.
WANTED: The movie. There's no way this is going to be as dark as the comic it's based off of, I guarantee that.
Underworld 3? Well, at least if there's more Kate Beckinsale in skin tight leather it can't be all bad.
Joss Whedon, who you may or may not know as the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly (that's a great series if you've never seen it) is coming back to television with a new show. That's good news!
I love this, cause I love wacky Japanese shows, but this one's good. The world record holder for walking speed is practicing on a track in Japan. Apparently the idea was to send a group of armed Samurai after him to see if he would run or walk away. Oh, yeah, it's fantastic. What did he do? You'll have to watch to find out.
Finally, I'm not even sure what the most interesting thing about this post is. Is it that they're making a Shazam movie? Or that they've signed the Rock to play Black Adam? (Seriously, that's good casting.) Or the fact that the Rock leaked this information while he was filming a remake of Escape from Witch Mountain. It's the Witch Mountain thing, right?

3 more days til Halloween. Halloween, Halloween...
Incredibly violent, silly, alien invasion video game (you're the alien).
Speaking of Alien Invasion video games, you can now download the original X-Com for free.
Freaky Ghost pictures.
If you have some free time, you can watch Nosferatu (the entire 1922 movie) on Youtube.
The Life and Death of a Pumpkin.

Berenger Says I'm Slacking.
So, let's get to it.
(Also, a random format and color change. Woo-hoo! That's what makes Blogs more popular, right?)
RANDOM STUFF:
Let's start with the LED Coffeetable. There's really no point to it, I just thought it was neat.
If you'd like a little more interactivity with your tables, you might want to program a robot to play you in air hockey. (See how I kept the table theme going there? That won't last.)
Korean fans know how to put together a cheer.
Seriously high-end shoes. Probably expensive. (And the fact that I couldn't find a price on their webpage just screams: "If you need to know you can't afford it.")
Time saving tips from Sprint. (I tried the potato one and it sort of works. I also tried the tying headphones in a knot one and it sort of also works. These are like "Sort of time saving" tips.)
Green Bay Packers Yearbooks. From 1960 - 1967. I love these things, mostly because the Ads are so weird.
Oh, for the love of Pete, this appears to be a real thing.
GAMES:
Portal. Not that Portal. Just based on it.
Factory Balls. Kind of neat.
Frustrating Cat Game #1: Archery-Golf.
Frustrating Cat Game #2: Pole-Vault.
Frustrating Cat Game #3: Trap the kitty. (I liked this one a lot more than the other 2, and it's not made by the same people, so it's not really as frustrating.)
Thule Trail. Kind of like the old school Oregon Trail.
Spot the 5 Differences. Some of the things actually change when you replay it.
MOVIE STUFF:
Peter Jackson made a short film about World War I. Here's the trailer.
Here's the end of a movie called Dam Busters, which George Lucas might have seen. In fact, someone dubbed the end of Star Wars over it, and...well...check it out. Oh, and for no apparent reason, they seem to be remaking Dambusters.
In case you haven't been paying attention, there's more Star Trek casting going on. Slashfilm put together a great photo set for the new guys.

I don't know what to do with myself.
Is Daniel Radcliffe moving from one British Legend to another?
Japan is just all about the fun. Especially if it involves giant monsters. Or Robots.
Classic Horror Monsters. We keep remaking them. Dracula. Frankenstein. And now Wolfman. I guess this didn't count.
That being said, this always makes me happy.
Here's a neat link about all the CGI in Zodiac. Kurt, thanks for sending me that. I think that was you.
This is a classic, and I probably posted it before, but I think it's neat. Art vs. Artist.
I have no idea what this is about, but I'm intrigued: Southland Tales. From the guy who made Donnie Darko, so you know it'll make sense.
Go read some Heinlein.
Or play some INDESTRUCTO TANK. Seriously. It's indestructible.
Poor Chewbacca is trapped in a nightstand. (Requires sound)
And last but not least, some Real Life Donkey Kong.

Finishing the Game
Child Beater. Oh, and there's a Sequel. (No children were harmed in the making of this film.)
Awesome razor commercial.
Neat things you can Print, but that you might not have known you could print.
Horse vs. Car. From Old Magazine Articles.
Things are different in Korea. Witness this Brawl at a Baseball game.
This is old, but I hadn't seen it before, about Pirates of the Caribbean. I think it's neat. Particularly the mousing over the special effects while the movie plays.
It's a Mario Bros. level that, well...it plays itself.
In 1973 Bruce Lee died after completing very little footage for his dream project "Game of Death". Someone had to finish that movie. This is their story.
Monday, September 10, 2007
Superheroes, movies, football, games, and dogs. Oh my.
The Dark Knight
and
Iron Man
Stephen King's the Mist is coming soon...ooh, scary...
Please to note, also, Tobey Maguire is planning on being in Robotech. Not sure what Robotech is?
Check it out.
Then, let's take a trip back in time to 1983...look at those awesome computer graphics!
Then, we'll come back to the present for a nice NFL commercial.
Speaking of NFL commercials, nobody's better at it than Mr. Manning.
Oh, and while we're on football, this is fantastic.
Ok, on to some video games...this looks pretty amazing.
Then you can play a little SPROING.
Think they'll ever make video games like this?
Then watch the Doberman slide down the slide.
Then figure out what the world will be like after we're gone.
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Camaros and Aliens. Word.
Neat video about Image Resizing.

Nice Aerial Photos.
The world's most Ridiculous Game Show answers. I love these things.
Very interesting: The world without us.
Potentially 'R' rated trailer: Aliens Versus Predator: Requiem. Lots of gore.

Not dead yet...
These are some neat pictures of San Jose, California, 1975 side by side with 2006.
Here's a list of 100 Film Sites. Someone may find that useful.
Also on the list of things someone might find useful, a comprehensive list of Breakfast Cereal Characters.
I'm full of the useful, so here's how to make your own bacon.
This movie looks fantastic: Be Kind, Rewind.
This just looks neat: 3-D projector.
Fun game alert - Metal Gear Slug
And a sequel to the fantastic asteroids 2 (where you played an asteroid) it's Asteroids 3!
Anybody want a free Statistics book?
Ever wanted to be an evil despot? Try Pillage the Village.
I know cops are always looking for creative ways to catch criminals, but seriously, a monkey on the SWAT team?
If you're tired of your own bacon, try rootbeer float cupcakes. Man, this is making me hungry.
The internet loves to bring you more info on Aerogel (also known as frozen smoke). I've been seeing this stuff for years now, seriously, where is it?
I don't usually bother with things like this but, er...global warming?
And then here's some cool case mods. You know. For kids.
And this game looks spectacular. Team Fortress 2.

You can go watch all the old Siskel and Ebert reviews right here. Sometimes it's fun to see what they thought of old movies.
Pictures of the world's Most Dangerous Runways.

That's weird wild wacky stuff.
An analytical discussion of Red Shirt Deaths on Star Trek. (They fare much better when Kirk "makes contact" with a female of the alien planet.)
Videos of car crash tests. (Warning, loud music that might have a bad word in it somewhere).
Weird video of gymnasts on a trampoline simulating video editing techniques. Yeah, all those words don't seem to go together do they?
Weird mix of video games from the 80's and beyond.
Prison inmates in the Phillipines did a Thriller video. Yeah, I'm not sure why they did that. Or who let them. Maybe it was a good idea? Probably not a lot of fighting going on that day.
Saturday, July 28, 2007
The awesome. Let me show you it.
Oh, yeah, plus it doesn't look like Jon Favreau screwed up Iron Man. Rob Downey Jr looks like a perfect Tony Stark.
Thursday, July 26, 2007
Mostly games today.
Baseball! Cool avatars, but this game is hard.
Took me a while to figure out how to play this game. But then it got addicting.
This game is wicked hard. Physics for the win!
Oh, yeah. And Beowulf.

Have a slap fight with your sister. It's Japanese so I have no idea what's going on, but there's a girl and you slap her and she tries to slap you and...yeah, there's really just no telling.
Ok, we're gonna end on that one.
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Buddhists, Cameras, and Baseball. An Eclectic mix as usual.
Babies are cute, and dogs are cute, so check out Bumbo! And if that isn't enough, there's a part II!
Enter your blog address on this webpage and it will tell you you're rating. Mine is PG-13. I think because it mentions blood or killing in some of the game descriptions...
It's the Octapult. One of those bizarre things you only ever see on the internet.
Baseball is only fun if you actually get to play yourself. Play some baseball.
Alan Watts is a Zen Buddhist and a philosopher. As Watts himself would have said (I'm paraphrasing)"...I'm not advocating or selling Zen Buddhism. I'm just here to entertain." These videos were put together by the South Park guys over some old recordings of Watts. They're neat.
I always like posting games here. This one is from a camera company. It's called Temple of Zoom. I think you get a gift certificate for finishing it, so if you're out to buy a camera...

First actual post from the new house.
Seems a lot like Vector Tower Defense.
How much is your corpse worth? You know. To science.
The last time Russel and Denzel got together it was sort of silly. This looks a little more dramatic.
Ok, this is impressive.
Neat card trick called Sam the Bellhop. Though the guy doing the trick seems a little sleazy...
Neat German commercial. The Wind.
Why is this dolphin pink?
Monday, July 2, 2007
Jen likes it when i tell you everything in a one sentence title, so here you go: we got a new house.
I don't know if you know who Rube Goldberg is, but he was a cartoonist who designed crazy contraptions. Man I love these things.
New game for today: Bloxors.
I still like Star Wars, no matter how painful working on that stupid game was. Star Wars Bloopers They make-a me laugh.
Rowan Atkinson is :Spider-Plant Man! (& Part II)
Video game movie alert: Hitman. (Timothy Olyphant looks terrible with a shaved head, btw).
I like Alfred Hitchcock. Now he has his own Hitchcock Wiki. Fascinating stuff in there, particularly trivia, info about all the movies, and check out the 1000 frames where they show cool stuff from each movie.
For math geeks: Marble Adding Machine. (Well, I thought it was cool.)
Saturday, June 23, 2007
This may be the last saturday in my old house.
I don't know much about this band, but this is a cool video for a Daft Punk song.
Nice list of 20 movies, Not Coming Soon to a theater near you.
If you know me, you know my favorite author is Elmore Leonard. He used to write westerns before he started writing cool crime capers. 3:10 to Yuma is one of those westerns. It's got Christian Bale and Russel Crowe.
Video games? Oh yeah, these guys play some video games. King of Kongs
I came across this guy's blog (he's a screen writer) and I quite enjoyed his James Bond Reviews
Nice article on ways to Sleep Better.
If you're bored, Watch some Television why not?
I'm not sure if it shoudl be Why Paint Cats or Why Cats Paint.
In role playing game news, the Marvel RPG is now free. For download.

This Title has not yet been Titled
Somene put a camera on a cat and let it walk around taking pictures. They're kind of neat.

Hey. An underwater city. That's neat.
This guy will teach you how to save your potato chips. So, no more chip clips.
Do you feel the need to do weird conversions? Do you need to know how many Shaquille O'neals tall some thing is?
Dr. Seuss wrote this. Gerald McBoing-Boing. It's a kid who can only speak in sound effects. Or something.
Shuffle is a fun little game.
I Am Legend Will Smith stars in a remake of Omega Man (with Charlton Heston) which was itself a remake of The Last Man On Earth (with Vincent Price) which was based on the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.
At some point, Ben Kingsley went from Gandhi to like a crime lord. Check out his recent parts in movies. Now he's in You Kill Me as an alcoholic hitman. It's weird, right?
Wednesday, May 30, 2007
Neat! I want one of these. I don't know why. It just looks cool.
Haha! Do you really want to be part of the video game? How bout if you're the controller?
This is the microsoft surface. Nice. That won't crash. Not at all.
Clone Wars TV trailer. Just cause.

I've completely run out of ideas for titles.
Awesome violinist plays some Yes and some Michael Jackson.
Design your own basketball Jerseys!
The last 10 seconds of every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season. Strangely compelling.
These books are kind of cute, kind of sad, kind of weird. But you can read them online.
Where are they now? Star Wars edition.
A fascinating look at putting together the Space Shuttle.
Oh, and more 80's cartoons are coming. Another live action remake of He-Man.
Did no one learn anything from this?
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Hey, I updated on a Tuesday!
If you don't know who Harvey Dent is, well, he's Two-Face in the Batman universe. He's going to be in the next Batman Movie. Here's a website put up by Warner Bros.
Everything you need to know about the Civil War in 4 minutes.
