Ogre, anyone?
Yeah, I had a whole bunch of Car Wars stuff and played it maybe three times. The Autoduel computer game, though? Badass.

Dragon's Lair Uncut
Yeah, I remember seeing Dragon's Lair when I was, what, ten years old, and even then going "Dude, you can't move the way you want to move? Screw that." and going over to the Star Wars vector graphics sit-down cabinet. Aw man, there was a game.
Seriously, even the Journey video game appealed more to me than Dragon's Lair.

Harper gets a crush
I was hoping this would be Harper singing about how much he loves Obama, but no such luck. Oh well.
Also, should I use a grocer's apostrophe in my post too? Seems to be the in thing.

Hard Core Solo No-Mo'
I saw HCL maybe nine years ago and can't remember jack about it. However, I saw Highway 61 at about the same time and I remember a whole hell of a lot about it. It's an awesome, awesome film. Jello's only in it for a few minutes though.

Gremlin in the machine
I worked in a drive-in theater when Gremlins 2 came out, and at each showing we actually had people come up to the booth complaining about the broken tape. Oh, and all the honking, honking, honking.

China's No. 1 Internet TV station
Excellent! I was expecting it to be, you know, a little too twee, or a little too mocking, but it was really charming. Thanks for posting!

"I don't value music made from sampling."
That's what always weirds me out when people say "Dude, this guy sampled therefore he shouldn't get paid." -- I always think of samples as instruments, and do you pay royalties to Gibson when you play your guitar?
And sure, there's unoriginal songs made from samples (like that Black Eyed Peas "Pump It" -- dear god, guh), but there're highly complex and skilled albums too, like this one.

Are Americans leaving the US?
SassHat, as much as I love Canada I wouldn't be waving the BUSHLOL sign around much with Harper as your number one dude. He's like a little version of Bush, like Mulroney was for Reagan.

Never put anything in their mouth
Mrs. the dief looks like that when she has 'em too. I've never been near a video camera when they've gone off though. It's tremendously unnerving, even though I've observed so many of them by now. You really never get used to it, and since hers happen when she's sleeping, it's very hard for me to get back to sleep after a round. Luckily, she doesn't do the fight or flight thing, although I was kneed in the junk once.
It's wonderful that the Youtube video is up -- I... [more]

Dino Run
Without a doubt, one of the most stressful flash games I've ever played. Gah! Dinosaur! Avoid the black doom!
But great. Greater than it should be. Haven't tried multiplayer, but I'm sure that's awesome too.

Oh wow, he's from Indiana, let me go put on my surprised face.

Sick Around the World
Okay, hey, I'm a middle-class-ish American living in Canada since last August, and let me tell you what I think about the healthcare system here:
it completely, utterly, awesomely fucking rocks hardcore. I never want to go back. never ever ever. Please don't make me go.

Oleo Lord
I used to pass him many times, before I luckily got the hell out of Ohio, and I always referred to him as Fishin' Jesus, like he was saying "the fish was THIIIIIIIIS BIIIIIIG."

I'd run it through a US proxy, which would take some non-negligible time to figure out, which would be embarassing for me, because I'd be putting time and effort and gray cells into figuring out how to watch a My Chemical Romance video for chrissakes, and at work besides.

iPhone SDK details
To me, the iPhone and its SDK is like being married to a rich, beautiful, successful person who doesn't let you get a job of your own. The only time you can go out of the house is when you go to one particular restaurant, and the only people you can meet at that restaurant are people your spouse approves of. This is a way of life that appeals to many people, I suppose, but it sure as hell isn't for me.

Does "No nude or graphically violent images" mean that the chalk drawing of a naked hermaphrodite in the tutorial mission isn't NSFW? Dude.
