I was having a retro morning and I remembered this beautiful game from my childhood. This was an awesome game. In the video above you can see my favorite stage. I love it because the level design is fantastic and the music is way ahead of its time.

The Spirit (Artwork)

I have to say, as much as I love Frank Miller, I think The Spirit is going to suck. Style is great, but it can’t be the only thing that carries a movie. Frank Miller knows this – his stories are fantastic. The Dark Knight Returns is without question the best Batman story ever written. [...]
Order 66: Overpowered?
Posted in Friends, Miscellaneous on September 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My good friend Joshua and I have discovered a new love lately: Star Wars Risk. But there’s a problem we’re starting to notice with the game: Order 66. Basically it allows one team to completely annihilate the other. You can’t call Order 66 until a certain number of turns have passed, though. I personally think [...]
The band I am not going to see :(

This is Ratatat. I was going to go see them on Wednesday but I’m not anymore. Sad. I have tickets for their show in Dallas but I don’t want to spend the money on gas. They’re playing in Austin, too – tomorrow night, at Stubb’s. But tickets are $20 and at [...]
Awesome 8-Bit Art

Craig sent me this link to an incredible 8-Bit art show. These were my favorite pictures. For those of you who never played video games, the first is a picture of Link, with Ganon lurking in the background. Awesome. The second is a portrait of Pac-Man.
GENIUS!!!

If you haven’t upgraded to iTunes 8:
DO IT.
They included a new feature called Genius, and it’s blowing my mind. You just open up your music library, click on a song you like, and then click on the Genius button in the bottom right corner. It automatically creates a playlist of songs that sound like the [...]
About this blog

Blogging is therapeutic, okay? It’s just an online journal. I usually only write in any kind of journal when I’m feeling exceptionally one way or the other. It’s a way to process emotion. So sometimes my posts on here are really super mega happy, and sometimes they’re really super mega sad, and sometimes they’re really super [...]
I worked out today, finally…
Posted in Miscellaneous on September 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
…and I feel soooooo much better about myself. Even if 15 minutes on the elliptical was all I could stand before I felt like I was going to have a heart attack… I have been in such poor, poor, poor physical shape for so long. Doing something about it is euphoric.
Doomsday Machine

I just found out about this amazing machine from my cousin. Apparently it’s the most complex machine ever made. I was reading this article about it, which I will link to, but before I do, I’d like to draw your attention to this little paragraph:
“Physicists brushed off suggestions that the LHC, dubbed a ‘doomsday device’ [...]
TRON

I just got to watch TRON on the big screen. I think I’d been waiting for that moment all my life. It was like a religious experience. I was sitting there mouthing the words to every line in the movie.
