the "Felix is Lazy" round up

I'm mostly lazy because I spent last week working (on an amazing play with some amazing people), and beating Portal 2. Yes, I almost cried when the singing happened. No, I don't want to talk about it [now]. Here is a lazy roundup. Some cute, some Futurama and some other stuff, too.

ALSO LOOK WHAT FINALLY CAME FROM HONG CONG:

Clearly I am the coolest of the nerd-ladies.

Buy these here.

I already bought these here because how could I not?

I don't need to caption this, your reaction is the same as mine, no matter who you are.

PICTURES ROUNDUP

Ooooooooooooooohaaaaai!

This last week has been crazy for us here... who knew that summer would be MORE busy when you're an adult?

ANYWAYS, happy 4th yesterday, everyone. I celebrated by running a show, and Lulu celebrated with Frasier and wine, so clearly we are the most 'merican girls of them all.

I found a lot of pictures on the internet this week. Here are some of them, I think they are awesome.

I don't care if it makes me a hipster, I am buying these

WHY IS THIS TRUE?!?!

Sound advice for all women.

Life was SO HARD before the GAMEKEEPER

Math is the shit, but also sometimes very sad.

Also how we spent our 4th.

By way of teaser, ever played Limbo? Because one of us did... and you can see it soon!

Also, we plugged it yesterday, but you should still check out Tell Tale from our friends at Andyfilm.



THE END!

Pow!... Poe!

Hey anybodys. Happy 4th of whatever, and stuff, hope everyone is enjoying the day!

As a special treat, we've got a big ol' plug for you!

Our friends over at Andyfilm are starting a new project based on one of Poe's better poems, Tale Tell Heart. We like them, and we like their films, so we thought we'd give them a shout out. You can find more information about the project here, as well as links to their Kickstarter!

Check them out and celebrate independence!

All new roundup and special treat coming tomorrow!!!!!

"I'm too tired to do a roundup" Roundup.

Roundupping is hard work, y'all. Here are a few little things, but mostly, I'm super sorry.

My new favorite thing:


Commixed, but amazing:

THIS IS HOW I FEEL (because it is true):
Again, truth. Any gamer can tell you that.



Batman talking to himself (thanks Adam West):






SOON there will be a teaser for our next Idiot Box. AND Lulu owes you all her thoughts about Star Wars, now that she's seen it. Seriously, bug her.

Leftovers Roundup.

Hi kids-

So, Miss Felix started a brand new job this week, and let me tell you... I don't get internet in my room. That's right, playas. I have to leave my bed to internet. Which means this week's roundup is all about leftovers I should probably get out of the fridge.

You get the metaphor. Anyways, please enjoy! Something will present itself to happen on Thursday, we promise.


First, Here is a little diddy about how Lucas is, well, a little sorry for the "prequel" Star wars movies.

CASSINI MISSION from Chris Abbas on Vimeo.

Also, this next video, is me. Oops!

Zelda (princess or no), and Fathers Day!

Awwwww...

Happy father's day!

Cake, etc.

Oh hey there everyone.

What day is today? It's Felix's birthday! What a day for a birthday! Let's all have some cake!

Points to anyone who names that reference.

There's more!

IDIOT BOX: PORTAL!

It's Thursday, and you know what that means: new post! Also, Saturday is mah bee day, so I'm feeling gifty. Here is my gift to you!

Give us some feedback in the comments, if you'd like, for our future play throughs!

Summer Roundup

Okay, yeah, I'm sorry for this roundup. It IS SO RANDOM.

However, it's got some good stuff! Promise!!!

And Thursday it looks like we might even have a video ready! So enjoy this!!!!!!!

Warning the British that they aren’t going to be taking away our arms.

Here at 8 Bit Runway, we think a lot of people are dumb. It has less to do with politics than it does... well, clear stupidity. This isn't a political blog, so we won't chastise you for most things, but history is totally different.

Remember Sarah Palin? You've probably heard that she made a fairly large blunder pertaining to our 'Merican History (is that the right word?). According to many sources, she said [Paul] Revere warned the British "by ringing those bells, and makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." (Is it just us, or does this read like a second-grade account?)

The real truth? She's seen the new season of Futurama, which we are the most excited for.

Star Wars and Videos Roundup!

This week, I stumbled on a whole mess of Star Wars goodness. Here are some awesome images for you, followed by some very awesome videos I think you should check the heck out.

I can't wait for my mom to see this!


I dislike NOTHING about this.

I have a birthday soon, and this is what I want.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!

Oops!


Yeah, Yeah... but it is so good!

Wait for the end of this movie, it'll getcha.

Please refer to our previous post if you're curious about the lack of posting. We promise it will be worth the wait.

Substance and stuff

Okay okay okay okay okay okay.

We want to say oops (oopsoopsoopsooooooops).

We've been very busy finishing our play-though. If we get more than 25 "likes" on our facebook page and over ten followers, we'll totally pre-release the first five minutes of the play through.

We know you have Gmail and facebook. We're creepy like that!

Tell yo friends, tell yo neighbors, tell yo strangers!

The things you see...

Good News, ANYBODY!

I was recently introduced to some people who own one of the most beautiful pieces of technology made. Care to see?

Behold:

What could be more beautiful? Nothing.

I will be awarding 10 points to whoever can identify this game (WITHOUT the cartridge reference above):

Turns out I'm pretty terrible at it, at least against the boys who play it constantly. So many not terrible, just less good?

Terminology is hard.

In other news, we're finishing up the full version of our Idiot Box: Portal. I hope everyone enjoyed the little teaser I put together. None of that was fabricated, it all happened spontaneously.

...yes, even the part about the kilts.

Idiot Box!

Lulu and I are working on a new edition to our regular segments, called "The Idiot Box", where we play through each other's favorite games, and you get to hear the hilarity that ensues. We're currently using my built-in laptop camera for filming so it's a little... special. Here's a teaser to get you excited!!!

Nerd-girl Style Icons Vol. 2: Wonder Woman

That's right, we're going there. Enter:

WONDER WOMAN!

The Kick-assiest of super heroines

Wonder Woman is a Princess of the Amazons, also known as Diana of Themyscira. Originally created by William Marston to be "tender, submissive, peaceloving as good women are," combining "all the strength of a Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."

Silly Women, with their thinking.

To be fair, Marston also said he wanted Wonder Woman to be a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men."

In the early years of Wonder Woman (Marston named her Suprema originally), you can find many allusions to bondage- Wonder Woman often physically restrained her enemies, as you can see for yourself:

That's how I learned to do it, too.

Later, Wonder Woman grew to be a well-liked super heroine. In 1975, Lynda Carter portrayed "The New, Original Wonder Woman".

Great Hera!

Set during WWII, it followed closely the original plot of the comics. Since the show, there have been several remakes, as well as a just-nixed NBC TV show. They probably stopped production because Kevin Kirkpatrick (who is otherwise a genius in my book, as the makeup artist for titles like True Blood, The Wolfman, Nightmare on Elm Street and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) decided to redesign the classic Wonder Woman costume into something more... horrifying.

AH!!!! GET IT AWAY!

Then they modified it to looks less horrifying last minute because of the outcry on the internet (waita go, guys!), though the picture is still pretty terrible.

I can't figure out what's going on here...

Sure, DC Comics also recently re-designed/ re-conceptualized Wonder Woman's image, they did something that's quite popular these days, which is doing a "gritty reboot". What happened here is something I don't quite understand- from all American super heroine to some kind of... biker chick? Wearing Spiderman's shirt-come-corset?

No.

So what does this all mean?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Because any good nerd girl knows that there is only one Wonder Woman costume, and it stands proud in red, white and blue... and gold.

STYLE STAPLES:

• Red top
  
• Star-spangled blue bottoms (sometimes panty bottoms, sometimes a skirt)
  
• Red Boots
• Gold cuffs
• Lasso of Truth (optional)
  
• Power stance (not optional)
  

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

As previously stated, I'ma go ahead and say no white stars on blue background bottoms. Seriously, guys. Jeans of some sort are acceptable, preferably jean shorts, like your daisy dukes (you have them, I know you do). A simple red shirt and gold belt will suffice in lieu of red strapless corset (but if you own that corset, please, rock it). As I don't have any red boots, I chose to go with a more subtle approach- white knee high socks and chunky wedges. Red socks are preferred, of course, but I also do not own any of those.
