And for it, Trey Parker and Matt Stone got an autographed picture of Saddam. I didn’t know Saddam had [...]

Miss the days of web pages overusing animated Gifs, embedding MIDI songs, and using Comic Sans as default display font? Then get ready to feel like it’s Netscape Navigator all over again with Tobi’s Timemachine add-on for Firefox, sticking it straight up Web 2.0’s pretentious flashpipe.
Finally, someone at Capcom explains why the game known as “Biohazard” in Japan was distributed everywhere else in the English-speaking world as “Resident Evil.”
“As an example, I pointed out that a crappy DOS-based game had just come out in the US called ‘Biohazard’ (not to mention the New York hardcore band of the same name) [...]
Konami’s newly-announced game, Six Days In Fallujah, is already stirring the pot. And with reason. Why? Too soon; that’s why. And I’m not just saying this because it’s a video game. I’m raising this point because I fear it won’t be properly dealt with.

This handy Flash application will help you determine the cooking time to cook the perfect hard-boiled egg. It even factors in how high over the sea level you are in meters, as water boils faster the higher you are.
Hearing a name like Headless Heroes could easily refer to the god-awful state of the current NBC superhero show, but in this case it is attributed to the wonderous musicians of the dreamy and bittersweet “True Love Will Find You In The End“, upon which psych folk figurehead Alela Diane sings.
Yeah, the rumour is pretty strong that the Resident Evil 5 versus-mode DLC isn’t really DLC. Turns out what you end up paying for is a patch to unlock the versus mode which is already on the shipped RE5 disc. Confirmed: I’m not buying it.

So Trekkies in Austin, Texas headed out to the Alamo Drafthouse theatre to watch an extended version of The Wrath of Khan. Instead, Leonard Nimoy showed up and told them they were going to be watching the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek, in its entirety. Also, standing ovations in Sydney.
Here now is a 1 minute 59 second Crystal Stilts song entitled “Love Is A Wave” which is undoutebly the most upbeat thing they’ve ever done, despite managing to hang onto their mysertiousness and sinewing twangs.

Yeah, I’m predictable to the bone: the initial glimmering notes from Daestro’s space pop gleamer “Parallelogram” had me hooked instantly. But trust me, there’s a bouncy charm to it which makes the song completely enchanting, regardless of whether you’re a sucker for this kind of music or not.
Trailer to Funcom’s The Secret World is out. This could be the game which finally melts my frosty attitude towards MMOs. The concept really sounds cool. It’s on my watch list.
This maple and walnut chess set was made from sets of brass skeleton keys. Coveted highly by me. (Via carlovely.com)
Putting out “roommate wanted” ads can attract all sorts of people. This guy wants to make sure his apartment stays zombie-free. Gives a whole new meaning to “no smokers”, doesn’t it?
Mega Shark Versus Giant Squid. Starring Debbie Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas FTW.
