Its been a bit busy around here, with friends and family vising, various birthdays, and hours and hours of StarCraft 2.
So I thought I would share some hilarious girls getting revenge.
I’m sure you have all already seen these fabulous gags, but my only other idea was to post a replay of one of my SC2 vs matches, which would have made you all laugh just as much, at my expense. =P
I hope you like these little tidbits. And just maybe you will know why I never ever ever ever get on Xbox chat, ever!
I just recently discovered the Cake Wrecks site and its been making me giggle ever since. I know I’m a bit slow considering the site has archives back three years and has been featured on dozens of other websites. But even this delayed its well worth sharing. =D
But its even better, because the author of Cake Wrecks started another site called EPBOT.com. A fun geek (crafty) girl blog. At first I was skeptical (always am of crafty sites!), but just the other day she posted probably about the most awesome tee shirt of all time. If there was any doubt left about the site being worthy, linking this shirt instantly trampled it all to bits.
Best shirt EVAR! Only failing, no woman’s sizes!! Seriously, that was one of my favorite childhood movies of ALL time, and they cant make at least a girl shirt. Booo! /sigh
Some people have fancy cars or big houses, some have fine clothes and jewelry, but when we have company over, my point of pride is always our game closet.
I have this pattern with guests and it goes something like this: welcome welcome, greeting at the door, rush through living area, kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom, and then finally our game closet! When I open the door, I envision a choir of angels singing, the clouds parting and rays of light illuminating the fabulousness that is the game closet. (Note to self: figure out way to hook up audio and lights to game closet door.) (more…)
Last month I had the brilliant (ridiculously overambitious?) idea that I would try and review a bunch of my DS games. For some reason I didn’t find magical extra time to cram through more then a few of the games and thus DS Review month is extended, indefinitely.
I say indefinitely because I am fairly sure that by the time I get through my bag of old DS games I will have acquired more.
Actually I am rather interested in getting through some more of them as I am hoping to finally get to some better games. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to get stuck with such crappy games.
Our Sunday was spent amongst the mass of people, sixty thousand strong, at Maker Fair. I will venture to say that it was crowded, and it took me about an hour to find parking, but every second of discomfort was worth it to see the incredible inventions of these amazing people.
It was our first time going and we were not really prepared. Turns out almost the entire event was held outside. Yeah I read convention hall and figured no need for sunscreen and hats.
And one day? What were we thinking??? It was not nearly enough time to experiance the entire event.
We finally left the event sunburned and exhausted, but it was so incredibly worth it. People have made some crazy, ingenious, awesome, and beautiful stuff. And really I can’t not love an event where I can say: “Lets go see the burning thing over there!”
Deep Labyrinth was a husband purchase, I think. Though if I bought it, it was certainly intended for him. Which means, since the game has been hidden away in his DS case until my unearthing of all things buried, this is my first look at the actual game.
It also means I had no idea what to expect. Turns out, it is an action RPG using first person perspective, with sword fighting and magic casting.
The first person perspective makes me think of Oblivion – running around behind a floating sword, while the graphics are much more of a throwback to say HeXen days of the FPS genre.
One of the perks of running TFG.com myself, is that I get to see all sorts of fascinating information about who visits the site. Oh nothing incriminating like credit card numbers, street addresses, or porn viewing history. Its mostly just statistics about where people are from, how many views each post garners, and so forth.
The section, “Last Search Terms”, logs when people reach the site via a search engine. It also logs what their search criteria was. How people find there way here is incredibly intriguing, often also hilarious, strangely off topic, or confusing. (more…)
In general I tend to avoid TV reviews, mainly because most of what’s available is vastly off topic. If fact most computer/internet/computer games that show up in TV (and movies) are laughable in their execution. Many an eye roll was had by me. =)
That’s one of the wonderful things about The IT Crowd; it gives us both sides of the coin, the tech savvy and the tech retarded, and somehow manages to create comedic gold.
