Play That Funky Music, White Boy

Look at me -- posting again! I thought that would never happen. Wanna know why it did?

Answer:
Mixes and Mashups.

They shove all these awesome songs together in amazing ways.

Here's one: Mashup Uno

And Mashup Dos, which is heavily infused with Adele's Rolling in the Deep. Also, here is a guitar version of that same song that is done in the style of Dragonforce. Surely you remember them from Guitar Hero III where they had the final song that was super hard (even on medium).

Anyway, if you don't want to listen to music right now, I guess you could always look through some awesome nature photos or maybe just some funny "picture sayings" as I call them. I like the one about facebook.... hehe. Actually, a couple of those used to be my computer wallpaper.

Have a great day! :D

When You Wish Upon A Star....

I just found this amazing game where a penguin tries to fly. It is hilarious, addicting, entertaining, and altogether a good game. It has achievements in different forms along with various styles of upgrades. It also features three different modes to keep the fun rolling.

You know a game is good when you beat it completely -- every nook and cranny, every achievement, every challenge and upgrade. I had a shirt once that had a picture of an expectant penguin with the caption, "I wish I could fly." That being said: enjoy the game.

Waking Up

So, I know that I haven't posted anything in a while. In apologetic form, I will share with you a few things that I found to be interesting lately.

Firstly, a puzzle game where each cursor color you use plays on top of the other ones, making some interesting little puzzles. Not that hard, not super great, but just a little entertaining.

Next up, we have an interesting little animation about a little glowing man in a crossing walk signal.
Check out some sweet dance moves.

And lastly, a list of some interesting pranks: Enjoy.

Review - Source Code

So, I just watched the movie Source Code. Not bad. It's not a great movie, but it is entertaining. The only thing that hindered my enjoyment at all was the fact that it was a lot like Deja Vu - but without Denzel Washington.

One thing that I didn't like about the movie was that it involved time travel. The inventor of "source code" tried to assure the main character that everything that he did didn't matter because he wasn't actually traveling through time, he was just living out the last 8 minutes of somebody's life.

This doesn't make a lot of sense, however, because if it were just memory, then how could he get different results? How could the dead person's memory contain the alternate dialogues and actions that never happened? How could he experience what he has not seen because it was not what he had observed? OK, that sentence sounded confusing, but here's what I'm saying. If Sean Temptress, or whatever his name was, was sitting in his seat flirting with the girl for the last eight minutes, then how could someone living through his memory explore the next cab over, the gun-containing closet, outside the train, or inside the white van?

So, the explanation for this, I guess, is that he was actually going back in time and changing something which caused them to be in an alternate reality from what they had begun with. This led to him at the end of the movie laying in his box with the head scientist guy saying that some day they will be able to use the main character to prevent something. This means that he had successfully prevented the terrorist attack, but how?

Also, anyone that has ever thought about time travel at all can tell you that changing something in the past will mess up way too much for it to just be okay for this guy to keep doing it.

The movie does have some fallacies, but so does every other time-travel movie since Back to the Future and Flintstones meet the Jetsons.

One of the good things about the movie was that it was clean and funny, and it was entertaining. You wanted to know what happened next, while enjoying what is happening now.

Overall, it was worth watching for the entertainment value and the thought-provoking nature of the plot. But you'll probably still breath in one second and breath out the next even if you don't watch Source Code.

A Long, Long, Time Ago....

Online Music Box

A long time ago, I stumbled upon this online music box that played Flight of the Conchords music. They are hilarious. Almost every song on the first side is worth listening to (especially Robots) and if you click on I TOLD YOU I WAS FREAKY you can flip the tape over to uncover more songs.
