Scooter’s Birthday is on Tuesday. Here’s to celebrating a bit earlier (though no presents ‘til Tuesday!). Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Our apartment smells AMAZING!
Can’t wait for this bad boy to chill. NOMS.
EA pisses me off. They’re not making any games on Wii U. Fuck Ea, I hope they go under.
As a gamer who is also a lifelong Nintendo fan, I can’t say I’m upset by their decision. From a business perspective, it makes sense. What I am upset by are their childish statements repeatedly driving home their current disdain for the Wii U. You don’t like the Wii U. We get it. No bother though, Nintendo fans don’t care for you either, so there’s no loveloss there. They haven’t made a 3DS game since 2011 - none of us cared.
Nintendo will be fine. They will continue doing what they do. And for better or worse, EA will continue being EA.
As an older sister, this ad totally resonates with me.
Best part of this commercial? The little white girl who has this look that says “That…is a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that?”
It is pretty easy to get stuck/lost in the first half of the game. Wall jumping takes finesse. Play with headphones. Music is sooooo good!scottfriday replied to your photo: First time. #Metroid #nintendo #wiiu…

Wait, first time playing Super Metroid?! If that’s what you meant, oh boyyy you’re in for a MAJOR treat! :)There’s a lot of love for this game. You guys are almost making me wish I had played this before playing Metroid Fusion. Almost. I loved every second of Metroid Fusion. Even so, after playing Super Metroid for only a couple hours, it’s obvious where Fusion got the bulk of its gameplay design from.
Yahoo reportedly eyeing Tumblr for possible $1 billion acquisition
my first reaction is how horrible this would be. but then i realized that i’d really like for tumblr to have a functioning search feature, and have a team of people regularly working on improvements (not additions - improvements) to the site. plus, you know this would increase the askbox situation tenfold.
so yeah, fuck it. i’m on board.
Finally! Someone who sees how much of a GOOD thing this could be for the tumblr community. Having been a user of a few different services before they were acquired by Yahoo! (GeoCities, eGropus, LAUNCH, del.icio.us), I was quite excited to see this story come across my dash yesterday. The worst thing that would happen to tumblr if acquired would be Yahoo! leaving it “as is.” C’mon David, sell off your baby to Melissa and ride off into the sunset.
The song’s theme and lyrics are based on Dalton Trumbo’s 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun, telling the tale of a soldier who is hit by an artillery shell and loses his limbs, eyes, ears and mouth:
Joe Bonham, a young soldier serving in World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding artillery shell. He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body.
Joe attempts suicide by suffocation, but finds that he had been given a tracheotomy which he can neither remove nor control. At first Joe wishes to die, but later decides that he desires to be placed in a glass box and toured around the country in order to show others the true horrors of war. Joe successfully communicates these desires with his doctors by banging his head on his pillow in Morse code. However, he realizes that neither desire will be granted, and it is implied that he will live the rest of his natural life in his condition.
As Joe drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and girlfriend, and reflects upon the myths and realities of war.
In today’s Evil Geek Book Report, we get our Samurai on and talk Book 2 of Usagi Yojimbo
My first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure? Usagi Yojimbo. Imagine the confusion on 6-year old Olivertwisted’s face. Who was this rabbit and why is he a samurai? He’s never been in the show? Is he a friend or a foe? There were more than a few awkward conversations held on the playground arguing Usagi’s legitimacy in the TMNT universe.
Sadly, our story doesn’t have a happy ending. Like many of my 2nd tier TMNT figures, Usagi was lost in the woods along the perimeter of my school’s playground.
Found out The Killers have added a couple of new dates to their current tour…
Pro: The Killers! In concert! In Raleigh! (Or Charleston!) Sweet!
Con: Their shows are on a Monday (or Tuesday)…
Con: …in the most random venues
Pro: At least the shows are outside.
Con: Too bad they’re using Ticketmaster. Fuck beans.
Con: Worst of all, since this is a BattleBorn tour, they’ll probably concentrate on that album…
Pro: …but maybe they’ll play a couple of tracks from Hot Fuss and Day & Age still. Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a Sawdust track too…
Con: …who am I kidding? There’s going to be a lot from Sam’s Town, because that the one everyone loved. Everyone but me.
Pro: but still, The Killers! in Concert! Near me!
The cons don’t outweigh the pros. Methinks I’ll try and nab some tickets. Maybe.
