The Art of Phil Noto

And I think I have a new favorite artist: Phil Soto

So I get this e-mail from Kingdom of Loathing...

Dear XXXX,

Okay, I'm not good at this kind of thing, but I feel like I have to give it a try. So, here goes:

I was hanging out the other night, listening to some old mp3s, and I was just overcome with memories of when we used to hang out all the time. Remember? You were an intrepid, fearless adventurer, and I was the free-to-play, fun-and-funny online role-playing game that won your heart. Do you still remember those good times? I can't stop thinking about them.

I mean, I know things got kind of messed up at the end, and believe me, I'm sorry. If I could take any of that back, I totally would. And I know people grow and change, and you're not the same person you were then, but hey -- I've changed, too! I thought and thought about how to win you back. I figured I'd make you a mix CD, but I couldn't decide what "our song" was. So I just concentrated on becoming a better game for you, and here's what I came up with:

Remember how much fun you used to have with your clan? Alternately, remember how you never joined a clan because you didn't see the point? Either way, clans now have clan dungeons, group zones where your whole clan can work together. Crawl through sewers to Hobopolis, a vast underground vagrant vacation vista! Slide into the slime tube, and stir-fry sassy slimes!

I know I wasn't the prettiest game when we were together, so I had some work done. Almost every interface got an interface-lift. You can even manage most of your inventory via chat commands! I also came up with a way for you to automate some of the things you don't love about the game, so you can spend more time with the parts you do love.

Not only that, but there are way more animated .gifs than there were before. Don't worry; I haven't lost that low-fi edginess you love, but I'm a lot easier to play with now.

You can also have a custom title now, just in case you didn't feel like I appreciated what made you unique as an individual.

I should also say
Haiku Dungeon's been revamped.
See what I did there?

Maybe you quit because you got sick of always adventuring above the water. I admit that seems unlikely, but I fixed that, too -- there are a bunch of underwater zones with new food, equipment, mechanics, and challenges.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, trust me. I'm still the silly, clever, deceptively-complex game you fell in love with, only with about 95% more awesome.

So, I'm just sayin', if you can find it in your heart to give me another chance, I won't disappoint you.

If you don't drop by, I promise I won't bother you again. I just really felt like we deserved one more try.

Love,

The Kingdom of Loathing.

Well played KoL! For a second (or some minutes) I was almost decided decided to come back, like a bitch boyfriend comes to his sexy-yet-slutty ex-girlfriend with promises of everything-you-can-imagine-you-can-do-to-my-willing-body---
Sorry, KoL, I would love it, you can bet your sexy and quite addictive low-fi ass, but I don't have the time, I'm now a broken shell of a nerd that can't spend too much time 'cause he has (gasp!) a real life.
(sobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!)
But, never worry, I'm telling friend to go play with you, so say hello to them!

Nic Cage's Drive Angry = Total Fucking Crazyness

Here's the synopsis:

Drive Angry stars Nicolas Cage as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out for one last chance at redemption. Hell bent on stopping a vicious cult of fanatics who murdered his daughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice his infant granddaughter beneath a full moon. Milton must us his anger to go beyond all human limits in order to save his last connection with humanity.

He's joined by Piper, a young sexy-smart waitress who liberates her ex-boyfriend's cherry red muscle car in order to help Milton. Now, the two of them are hot on the trail of the charismatic Jonah King and his murderous followers. King will throw every one of them faithful under the wheels of Milton's turbo-charged Black '71 Challenger, to fulfill hist destiny and unleash hell on earth.

But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton's problems. The police are after him, too. And worse. An enigmatic killer known only as "The Accountant." The Accountant knows what Milton is trying to and and simply doesn't care. With wicked cunning and hypnotic savagery, the Accountant will relentlessly pursue Milton at high speed across the forgotten back roads of the American south.

Fueled by high octane and pure rage, Milton and Piper must battle the onslaught of King's disciples, avenge his murdered daughter, and save his granddaughter before his last chance at redemption is revoked.

I for one welcome our new Black '71 Challenger riddin' overlords.
Seems the kind of movie i'd watch. Babes, muscle cars, shotting, and over the top nuttiness and explosions. So, fuck yeah, i'm pumped to watch it.

Noise du Jour: Lords Of Acid - The Crablouse

Thank you Zack Snyder for introducing me to this song

David Tennant is going to get married to daughter of former Doctor Who...

... who also, in a very complicated way also played Doctor Who, causing thus the (geek girls) universe to explode.

The only accepted time to start a sentence with "I'm a doctor" is when you'r Doctor Who (or someone is dying) 

This is going to get complicated, so bear with me!
David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor, is going to marry Georgia Moffet, who is the daughter of Peter Davidson, who was the Fifth Doctor. Nice, isn't it? But no, it gets messier!

"Will she have time for him? Ask various geek girls, just to be slapped silly for the bad pun"

She also played the Doctor's daughter, which was a clone of the Doctor, making her sort of 10 and 1/2 Doctor.
Bonus round, anyone can name who her mother is and what made her (geek) famous? Leave it in the comments and win geek cred.

Retro Hot Babes and Zombies? You betcha your sweet ass!

So, who asked for hot babes in a 50's retro Zombie slaughter extravaganza?
You? Me?!
PLINGGGGGGGGGGG
That's right!


Thank you Internet for making my dreams come true, one at a time!

Noise du Jour: Deltron 3030 - 3030

And I'm here to lay some musical knowledge on ya, with a bit of good hip hop (I know, my sex kittens, it's an oxymoron).

Deltron 3030 is an alternative hip hop supergroup composed of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien (known as Deltron Zero for the project) and DJ Kid Koala. Their work features many other artists as well, all taking on various futuristic pseudonyms.

From Wikipedia

Yes, it's not your day to day hip hop, with the bitches and the bling. It's something else, alright!

Trailer Apocalypse - My comments on the Suckerpunch trailer

And here is my first trailer commentary in english!
And why in english, when my diction is so fuckin' bad? Well, because of that! I need to train and some good old speaking into a mic and then listening to it is very helpful.
Now, on to the trailer!
It's my beatdown of Suckerpunch, the newest Zack Snyder epileptic killing gig, and boy, it looks shallower than a poodle in the desert, but it has girls in school girl uniforms and swords, so all is forgiven.
AND FUCKIN' DRAGONS!
