Me gusta un poco de televisión más que el resto
“So you like ’30 Rock’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and ‘Lost’,” you might be saying. “Big deal. Join the frakking club, sheep!” Fair enough, but would a sheep dare to post on the internets a comprehensive list of the best episodes in the history of television? The answer is yes, if he were an exceptionally nerdy…
Me gusta la televisión
Thanks to the last few months of under-employment (which ends tomorrow), my TV-watching has almost gotten back up to the levels before I worked for EA and before I discovered RSS feeds. I still haven’t suddenly regained consciousness sitting on the couch 35 minutes into a History Channel documentary about classified Nazi cheese experiments, but…
Me gusta la semana del tema
The week of porn spam post titles was such an unprecedented success, I think I’ll keep up the theme weeks forever or until I get tired of it. This week is Stuff I Like Week. Or, if like me, you’ve taken one quarter of Spanish 101: La Semana de las cosas que me gusta. Believe…
Manos, brazos, pies, y piernas
I went to Disneyland over the weekend, and it was fun. There’s not a ton of new stuff going on at the park, and we’ve gotten pretty ritualistic with our trips — get up ass-early, drive down, eat at the Apricot Tree, check in at the hotel, sleep, get up and drink, get up ass-early,…
Forbidden Desire
Man, I want to get a 24″ iMac so bad I can taste it. The problem is I don’t, strictly speaking, need one. I’m a master at convincing myself to blow too much money on excess stuff, and my skill only increases when Apple’s involved. But I’m hitting a brick wall here. At the moment,…
Asses on display
When are companies going to learn to stop hiring “guerilla marketing” firms? First there was the ridiculously ill-advised Sony PSP blog (Consumerist saved the original here after Sony was forced to take it down), which got the company much, much worse PR than they could’ve ever hoped to gain with the campaign in the first…
Take a wild ride with hot, screaming teens
The Disney Blog posted links to two videos recreating the Test Track ride at Epcot using the game Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. My favorite of the two is below. Test Track isn’t a roller coaster, and the other video looks a little bit more like the actual ride. But this one gets my vote for including…
Longer and harder
I don’t make a habit out of agreeing with the Penny Arcade guys, but Tycho made a really good point on Monday. It’s something that’s bugged me ever since I moved out here and started working in videogames. The problem is the weird dollar-to-hour value ratio people use when talking about games. You’ll frequently see…
