create your band name & album cover.

Posted in awesome, cool, do it, hot, meme, whoa on February 22nd, 2009

Finally, a meme I can really get behind!

CREATE YOUR BAND NAME & ALBUM COVER:

To Do This

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5 - Post it

I went a little nuts and made 3.

1995 BMW OPEN - Absolute power is kind of neat.

bukari - reading, listening to music, and silence.

Maillot Blanc - She must be found and stopped.

the onion: sony releases new stupid piece of shit that doesn’t fucking work.

paranormal state.

Posted in awesome, tv on February 20th, 2009

paranormal state is the only show I set my DVR to record all the new episodes.

admittedly it’s mainly because it’s on at the same time as no reservations , but boy do I love that penn state paranormal research society and their ghosty adventures! (not to be mistaken with ghost adventures which is a whole other show).

my favorite song right now.

from the lonely island, the guys who brought you “lazy sunday” and “dick in a box.” I’ve been a fan of theirs for years, so it’s great to see they’re really hitting their stride right now.

“construction signs warn of zombies.”

I like the links to the helpful zombie information they provide on the site. the youtube links, however…

star wars: retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it)

very funny, hilariously dismissive of the original star wars trilogy.

it’s so cold in the d.

t-baby brings ghetto to a whole new level.

my favorite part is at 2:27 when she falls out of sync with the beat. if you, like so many of my friends, can’t bear to watch this any longer than you need to, you can skip right over to it.

thoughts on guitar hero world tour.

Posted in awesome, cool, review on December 27th, 2008

now that I’ve been playing GHWT for two days straight, I want to give a rundown on my thoughts thus far:

  • very, very wide selection of songs. for all you debbie downers who complain they don’t like any of the songs on previous guitar hero games, if you can’t find something on this one you probably don’t enjoy “music”
  • great new features to boost game play. finger tapping? are you serious??
  • customizable characters and guitars. it’s a bit of a time investment but hey, if you can put yourself on a basketball court and dunk on kobe, why not rocking out with travis barker?
  • moving away from the linear game play of previous games. it’s taken the focus off of “you are a singular guitar player playing these songs” and became a lot more social, more about interactivity with bandmates

if there’s one thing I wish they could have done, was to do something about that extra long load time.

seasons greetings.
