But seriously watch it

Wait how did I not know about this?

What am Was Watching II

Trying to get more into a bloggin schedule of a couple times a week (as opposed to my current schedule of "never"). Here's some videos, in no real order:


This was written by one of the guys who made LOOOOOOOOOOOOST (deep cut). It is funny and you should watch it because it is funny. Also there's famous-ish people and a cool use of time travel.



The next thing I was going to post went down the memory hole, so here a video of Kurt Vonnegut being awesome instead:



The next thing is also the thing that is the last thing, because I thought I had more things but did not. Anyway I am recomendiding Clone High because it is a fun show that is funny and also fun and you can watch the whole thing in like three hours so theres that. Also I really like the theme song, so at least watch that part. The first episode is kind of weak, and the show never does that much with its premise, but it gets stronger as it goes along (surprising for both an animated show and an anything-goes parody, it's actually pretty serialized). All the episodes are streamable (note to self: is streamable a word?), although you might have to hunt for some of them.

The next post is number 250, and I'm trying to think of something cool for it, which is not-very-subtle code for I'm probably going to start posting music again.

Ok normally...

..."it's funny because it's true" is a shorthand way of dismissing things as neither funny nor true, but this really is funny because it's true. This guy knows his states. Plus it'll take less time to watch then it took for this page to load (I should fix that...)

Drawing is cool I wish I could draw,

I find this series fascinating (there are like 4 or 5). I like people that talk fast; I fell like they're not wasting my time. Also there are cool pictures and oh yeah it makes a supposedly difficult concept accessible and interesting.



Also I couldn't figure out how to fit it into the main body of the post but I really wanted to use the word "mathematic" somewhere around here.

My continued attempts to crash your browser...

Here's something that's not a song.

I watched this on DVD (remember those?) earlier this week and it somehow became one of the best movies I have ever seen. It seems like it should be the most pretentious thing ever and yet you can't look away from the screen. Give it a shot, and if you get bored try skipping to the second half, which somehow makes the real world look more fantastical than any CGI (especially, it out-TRONs TRON. TRON is a verb, right?).

Here's a thing you probably didn't know but also probably should.

Some GIFimations

There are some even-more-impressive ones (which I can't embed for stupid technical reasons) here.

Still better than Guitar Hero: The Beatles

Seinfeld Rock Band - watch more funny videos

Two videos in one day...

...how do I do it. I'm a machine. Honestly, someone should give me an award. (Those sentences work best if you read them aloud in a low, nasal monotone. I'm not sure how to type that out).

Party like it's post 199!

This is the blog theme I'm going with for next month. Thought you'd want a preview. Make sure your speakers are on.

Just Linking to Stuff Mega-Post

I been sitting on some of this for a while, forgot/neglected to post for whatever reason:

Someone had too much fun making this:

Proof that New Zealand is kind of awesome:

Ze importance of context:

SPECIAL MARIO SUBSECTION

It's easy to forget how much a badass Mario is. Don't:

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

And this

SUBSECTION OVER...FOR NOW

I don't know, this is just funny:

This is like a parody of Batman Begins-style reboots, and then you realize that it's an actual fucking movie:


Turn your speakers down:


IPAD SUBSECTION
Some of these are worthless but the good ones make it worth clicking.

Also here's the reason I didn't get an iPad. Remember when Apple was the cool company with all the new ideas?
SUBSECTION COMPLETE

VIDEO GAME-RELATED ART SUBSECTION
Pokemon as sumi-e prints

Games covers as books covers. Again, a lot are worthless, but the good ones are better than the actual box art (which raises some interesting questions).

Maybe not art but I found it cool anyway. Title is accurate.
SUBSECTION TERMINATED.

Can't remember if this is good or not, video isn't working:

Finally, the most insightful image I've ever seen.

...Except I'm guessing everyone looks at it and thinks they're the one guy. Which is stupid cause it's obviously me. I didn't even buy a iPad.

A Dare

Start at the beginning of Homestuck and see if you can get to the end today.



OK that's a stupid dare, but I've wanted to link to it forever (my main goal with this blog is to waste huge chunks of its readers' time, plus it's the best webcomic going right now) and today seemed like good day since it's the one year anniversary.

Also, check out the music, especially if you like chiptunes, which you do, because you're reading this, which means you're probably a nerd.

i wish i had a skill...

Some movies

I like "Lady and the Reaper" best, but I'd bet I'm in the minority.

I'm no good at this, but I spent forever playing with it anyway.

Go forth and prepare to not get anything done for a while.

And this is without mentioning the vampire squid

Long but worth reading; his science is so tight it must be acknowledge'd.

More video things

My favorite is the Wes Anderson one; he's been ripped off so much I can almost see that one really happening.

Forgot to Mention...
