iPhone barf bag mod is air sick

LowCommotion FTW! (Hacks, iPhone)
Loading...

Sure, it's foolish and low-tech as hell. But in the 8-hours you were cooped up on that transatlantic flight, did you ever once think about using the barf bag as an adjustable mount for your media player? No, you just held your iPod touch in your hand, occasionally dozing off until awakened by a jerk of the earbuds from your fallen iPod. Who's the fool now?

No Doubt : The Singles Collection to be released for Rock Band

Chromium FTW! (Music, Video Games)
Loading...

Very nice add-on to an otherwise horrible season for Rock Band DLC. This past week had a bunch of Disney crap, and I know the week of Dec 16th will be a bunch of country music crap too. Who know’s what’s going on over there with the music licensing.

dailyreview: Boogie Bunnies

TendrilsFor20 FTW! (Reviews, Video Games)
Loading...

Boogie Bunnies is deeply, deeply flawed. It’s unfun on a primal level, uses a common new technique in the exact wrong way, and sucks all the life out of what is supposed to be a puzzle game and injects it with insipidness instead. It’s a chore to play or play well, and “multiplayer” essentially boils down to yelling at your buddy over and over because you think you know better.

What? Are you waiting for the “but, it’s fantastic!”? There isn’t one.

The Otacon and Sunny Relationship – MGS4

Zombie16 FTW! (Video Games)
Loading...

The relationship between introverted computer genius Hal “Otacon” Emmerich and his charge Sunny (seen above) is a diamond-polished window into the souls of the young men who work for Japanese game companies. A doe-eyed nine- or ten-year-old who resembles a child less than she does a scaled-down maid café waitress, she waits on her guardian hand and foot, cleaning, assisting with programming, and serving meals.

Now it appears the ideal lifestyle is one of a digital hermit set squarely in front of a computer monitor with an elementary schoolgirl in fetishwear at his beck and call. Could this be what Toshio Okada meant when he referred to otaku subculture as being “already dead”? Love it or hate it, the Otakon-Sunny relationship only really makes sense when it’s viewed through the prism of the moé phenomenon.

I took some out for compactness here, you can get the full gist after the jump. Hrmmm so wait in Japan I can get some hot chic to dress up like a maid and wait on me while I veg out all day… I wonder if she’ll goto work for me too! Muhahahahaha!

Venice floods, Italians still drink and be merry

Zombie16 FTW! (Weather, WTF?!)
Loading...

Seriously, think about this; if Miami city flooded like this there would be mass hysteria. People would be screaming bloody murder for our government to do something, anything to stop the flood. Now look at Venice, sure it sucks, but it’s not that bad to them. These 5 men are just kicking back and waiting for the waters to subside, all while enjoying some wine; try and get away with that here.
