I just ordered this totally awesome water bottle, care of the monkeys over at ThinkGeek.
Cool, huh? It's glass, which means I'll probably break it within two weeks. Lucky for you, I'm taking bets on how long it will last. I also may be running out of money.
So, there's the thing about Portal 2. I ended up introducing a LOT of people to Portal via Portal 2 this summer. I lived in a large house (and I mean large, like with 50 or more people), and many of them had never heard of Portal. I played through it, capturing the attention of many. They were smitten from the get-go, and let's be honest, who wouldn't be?
Because I had an audience, I felt really smart when I figured out puzzles quickly, and advanced quickly. It also meant that I got to explore a whole lot less than I would have liked to- they wanted to see puzzle solving, not exploring every nook of a very well rendered and flushed out game world.
Yes, if you've played through Portal 2, you know what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say that I missed ALL of the Rattmann story. All of it. I saw his little drawings, sure, and I was aware that he existed in the framework of the game, but I pretty much missed everything else pertaining to it. I missed all but the two first dens, and am very sad I did, because they look awesome.
In other big, not Portal news, it looks like the Ender's Game movie is actually a go this time, with stars like Harrison Ford signed on! Yay! Here's hoping they don't fuck it up!
Greetings, grumpy people! Or, at least I'm grumpy. Are you? I dunno.
SO, like Oh Em Gee YES I am making a post. Five things I would like to share with you today.
1. This completely accurate video. Whenever we hang out, Felix says every single one of these things, but I think the whining about computers pretty much belongs to me.
"Do I look like a doily? :("
2. This seems to be the season of good TV! Favorite shows of mine lately are Dexter, the Walking Dead (sadly, on hiatus), The Office (as I work in one), Frasier Boss, Boardwalk Empire (though I'm leagues behind), Misfits, How I Met Your Mother, Kitchen Nightmares (because I am eventually going to marry Gordon Ramsey) and Parks and Recreation. Not only that, but there are some decent movies coming out like, right now, like (drumroll) motherfucking BATMAN. I wont be leaving the house for the next few months.
3. Fallout, Fallout, FALLOUT. And corresponding nerd tattoos. I think I remember saying that as soon as I got an X-box, my social life (which barely existed to begin with) would end, and, well, it feels good to be right about stuff. In the near future, look forward to ridiculous cosplaying, until I exhaust the game and move onto Bioshock.
[This is starting to feel like a bullshit diary entry]
4. Contemplating a bitchy podcast in which I complain about my apartment and its corresponding problems.
5. Check out this mega-sweet cosplay:
From the beasts over at GeeksAreSexy.com, this is an amazing Alice: Madness Returns get-up that we should all be drooling over. Boy I sure do love some decent cosplay.
I might have already posted this, but I'll post it again because it is THAT AWESOME.
This infographic is a little misleading in that it definitely includes all the Farmvillers out there. Who are presumably married women with husbands that... like... sex.
I don't remember what cosplay this is but OH MY GOD. I do know what this cosplay is, and OH MY GOD I will seriously be getting this tattoo soon. Yeah, I'm unclear about it, too, Doctor.
BAAAAAAHAHA, Sega.
Silly you, thinking people LITERALLY forced themselves to become cannibals for heads? No, they have bodies. And hats! That makes up for the whole eating your family thing.
Because they're pretty boring. I'm sorry, I really am. I know we keep saying this, but soon (come 2012, IF 2012 EVER HAPPENS) we'll be starting some exciting new things and bringing back some pretty awesome old things, too. Like actual blogging. That'll happen.
FOR NOW:
I'd like to do this with my 92 year old grandma, but I think my parents wouldn't let me.
Read about weird things celebrities do. No, seriously do it.
Lulu and I are really sorry. We're working on plans to move in together, so either we'll post constantly or this blog will become nothing more than a screen shot from the past.
We've got a few things in the works, but we'd like your input. What do you want more of? Comment and let us know!
and I promised I'd be better about actually posting. OOPS.
FIRST, I just want Jenna Marbles to know I have no problem getting the 21 mice living in my house to do my bidding- you just can't swear at them while singing them requests. Just saying.
Also, I've been working my way through the classic years of Doctor Who [that Netflix has on instant watch]. I finally hit the Tom Baker years, after a lot of... REALLY AMAZING WORK. ANYWAYS, I had to share this with you. It is a screen cap of a man turning into an alien.
WHY YES, THAT IS GREEN BUBBLE WRAP. HOW DID IT GET THERE?!
But I pretty much have nothing for you. Just this:
So to continue embarrassing myself with our musical theme, I wanted to share with you all one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures...Disney acapella.
Now, you shut the fuck up for a minute and think about it. EVERY CHILD who was little in the eighties and nineties can appreciate Disney, and as a spurned ex-theatre kid, I love musicals and acapella.
Without further adieu, here are my three favorites on the interwebs, under the cut:
SERIOUSLY LISTEN! Read this article about ten famous films that fail the Bechdel Test, a so easy that all you have to do is one thing: ONE scene in which two (or more) named female characters discuss anything, LITERALLY ANYTHING, other than men.
This song is my favorite.
Truer words were never spoken.
Best.
I can't count the number of times I wanted to do this.
Great advice.
Cool, huh? It's glass, which means I'll probably break it within two weeks. Lucky for you, I'm taking bets on how long it will last. I also may be running out of money.
Best Harley Cosplay yet.
Actually, this is me right now.
Sorry, mom.
I find this very hilarious.
This combines the best things ever, 90's nostalgia and Trolling.
Find Pokemon to haunt your dreams here.
I forget why I posted this pict-OH GOD THE SILENCE KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT-ure. Weird.
I think I'll do this.
I don't remember what cosplay this is but OH MY GOD.
I do know what this cosplay is, and OH MY GOD
I will seriously be getting this tattoo soon.
Yeah, I'm unclear about it, too, Doctor.
BAAAAAAHAHA, Sega.
Silly you, thinking people LITERALLY forced themselves to become cannibals for heads? No, they have bodies. And hats! That makes up for the whole eating your family thing.
Best. I need this printed up.
This one's my favorite.
Found this meme on stumble, forgot to favorite it.
This probably can't be real, right?
hey, baybeh.
Have I already said something else is the best Cosplay ever?
Because CLEARLY I WAS WRONG. THIS IS THE BEST.
Oh wait. This is.
Seriously. THAT IS THE BEST.
Oh wait... this is.
No wait.
Wait... WHAT IS THIS?
From a collection of costumes pre-walmart days.
When kids made their own [TERRIFYING] costumes.
More costume ideas.
This is just funny.
And this is just true.
Truth.
