What with all the hullabaloo surrounding the return of Heather Locklear as Amanda Woodward on Wed night’s “Melrose Place,” the true highlight of the show — the charming lesbian makeout scene — got overlooked.
So needless to say that we don’t talk about music on the site here, and for good reason. Me trying to review music is about as productive as an elephant trying to solve a Rubix Cube, and therefore I try to stay away from it as much as I can.
Today, I’m not posting Lady Gaga’s video for Bad Romance to talk about the music, I just think that it’s kind of important to mark one of those moments that feel like the future has actually arrived. Like the first time you found your house on Google Earth, or when you played with your iPhone for the first time.
In this case, Lady Gaga’s video to me encompasses the future of pop, and I’m heavily reminded of Chris Tucker’s character in The Fifth Element. That was what, the year 3000 and we all laughed at how comically over the top his hair and clothes were? Well, we’ve had pop stars wearing wigs and sequins for years, but to me Gaga is the only artist who is truly trying to change everything, and after watching this video, I couldn’t help but think that finally, I was living in the future if THIS is now the world’s most popular artist.
There are a million different video game related webcomics around the internet, but Brawl in the Family has to be one of my favorites, as it uses all the characters found in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in a variety of hilarious scenarios.
Well, its’ their 200th comic, and they’ve gone all out and crafted an exceptionally long, musical comic, the full extent of which I couldn’t possibly show you here, but it is in fact the greatest thing I’ve seen all day. Click here or on the picture above to see/hear it for yourself.
Some of you might even be asking yourselves “who the hell is James Van Der Beek?” Well he’s most known for his role on Dawson’s Creek and uttering the line “I don’t want your life” in Varsity Blues. But for those of you who care where the actor is now….
Court records show actor James Van Der Beek has filed for divorce from his wife of nearly six years.
The former “Dawson’s Creek” star filed for divorce Friday in Los Angles. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split with actress Heather McComb. The couple were married in July 2003 and have no children. [Via MSNBC]
Irreconcilable differences huh? Let me show you exactly how this divorce went down…
I’m 98% ready to write Mass: We Pray off as yet another Wii Parody video, albiet a very good one. But I do have to pause for two seconds as there is actually a company attached to the game called Prayer Works International. This is also likely fake, but it makes me think that maybe, maybe I could actually play this one day. And it would be AWESOME.
Growing up Presbyterian, I missed out on all the fun ridiculous ceremonies of the Catholic Church like lighting candles and swingning urns of incense around, but now thanks to the Wii, I can participate like I’m actually there and filled with shame!
But if it’s fake, I’ll just leave my Wii collecting dust next to my decidedly dust-free Xbox. Wake me up when Mario Galaxy 2 comes out.
Remember when the first Nintendo system came out? Hell I can remember playing Gyromite! Think about how much that system has evolved over the years. Well let’s go back to around the same time shall we? Let’s trek back and take a look at something we’re all familiar with: Microsoft Windows.
From the DOS days all the way up to the frustration of Windows Vista we’ve all had our ups and downs with the software giant. We’ve laughed, cried, and have even smashed our screens. But Windows, you’ve always been there for most of us.
Check out this amazing photo evolution of Microsoft Windows
As I played through the campaign mode of Modern Warfare 2 last week, I pondered that video game cutscenes aren’t really going to exist pretty soon. With in-game graphics catching up to cut-scene graphics, a lot of times there’s no real need to break from gameplay to show something truly epic, I thought to myself as I hauled ass across the National Mall dodging helicopters and fighter jets falling from the sky after an EMP pulse.
However, that certainly wasn’t always the case, which is why I’ve assembled this collection of the best video game cutscenes I could find. I haven’t played all these games, as a lot of these were suggestions (thanks Reddit!), but the ones in this list that stayed with me the most was almost anything found in Final Fantasy X, the amazing sing-a-long outro for Portal and the pure evil found in many of the Twisted Metal closing films.
See all those and more below, and if I’ve missed anything, shoot me a link and if I like it, I’ll add it to the list.
How do I say this without sounding insensitive? The Japanese are into some weird shit. Of course I’m aware that there’s a massive cultural difference, but I’m always more fascinated/scared of Japanese stuff than I am others. Like, tentacle rape porn? Wow. Anyway, Domo-kun is one of those strange Japanese inventions that for some reason I really like.
The first image of Domo-kun I had ever seen was on that poster that read “Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.” Pretty funny. Domo-kun is the mascot of a Japanese television station and, a lot like Hello Kitty, has appeared on all sorts of things. What the hell it actually is, I have no idea.
Take a look at Domo-kun taking over just about anything you can think of after the jump.
