More thick and rich liquid genius poured from a jewel encrusted crystal goblet of brilliance from BeaucoupKevin(dot)com. It had me stifling laughs and giggles at my desk for a good 10 minutes. Part way through I could hear The Man’s voice in my head which made it all the more funnier.

The set list for Guitar Hero III versus the set list for Rock Band. Both look like solid line ups and each have a couple of songs I can’t wait to sink my teeth into. I get the feeling Guitar Hero III was going for a “rocking attitude” mix of songs since you’re the star of the show trying to show off your skills. Meanwhile Rock Band put together a set of “rocking fun” songs that would be fun to play with a group of friends trying to rock out together.

My only problem with both sets is the absence of any Oasis tracks. Rock n’ Roll Star would be perfect for these games!

I can’t get enough of the Tokyo Storm Trooper and his fancy dance moves.

It is an old video, but still a good one.

Here’s a video of Dan Inosanto training in Brazilian Jujitsu with John Machado. At the time of filming Dan is 70 years old.

I share Leon’s sentiment when he says “I hope I can move half as well when I get to be that age.”

Hey ladies. Still trying to find a costume for your Halloween bash? Don’t fret. Just head on over to Girl’s Costume Warehouse!

At first I thought: “A video about throwing empty cans into trash bins? How could that be entertaining?!” After watching this video, it turns out it can! (sorry for the bad pun)

They have a second video with more creative trick shots. Unfortunately the ending credits for that one spoils “the magic” by showing some of their outtakes.

One more thing: It looks like the group is based in Paris, which is appropriate considering it is home of The Can-can! (Yes yes, a bad joke as well. Gomen!)

My apologies for the lack of updates to “The Blerg”. Currently there is no internet access at my new apartment and my neighbours seem to be quite savvy in the ways of securing their Wi-Fi connections. My service should be fully set up by the end of this week, but I kind of dropped the ball on it when other mishaps happened during my move.

Even with my internet connection restored I’ll still have to wait before I can get Gamabunta (my main computer) online. The fan on his motherboard has started to make an awful grinding sound and occasionally stops spinning every now and then. It looks like the deluxe version of the same motherboard is experiencing similar problems. I think I can use the information from that article to fix my issues as well.

With any luck I finally be able to download the rest of The Orange Box and do crazy stuff like finish Level 13 of Portal in 8 seconds or launch a lawn gnome into space!

Over the weekend I did the big move to the new apartment. The actual moving of items from one place to another went quite smoothly. I owe a lot of thanks to my friends and family members who showed up to help. They managed to load that truck and unload it in record time. I couldn’t have asked for it to go any better.

The rest of the day was another story.

It started out with me not realizing my move date was the same date as the Toronto Marathon. Roads were closed all across the downtown core, diverting cars, causing traffic all over. This made driving a large and unwieldy cube truck around the city quite unpleasant and very nerve racking.

Things hit rock bottom when I got into a minor traffic accident near a traffic cop. No one was hurt and the damage on the truck was minimal, but I was completely freaked out by the whole situation. Of course I had to sweat it out while I waited, first for an investigating officer to arrive on the scene and then later as he deliberated over the incident with the other cop that was directing traffic. Thankfully the officer was reasonable and understanding of my situation and left me off with a stern warning.

I will probably have to pay for the damages on the truck. I did pay for the insurance on the vehicle when I rented it, but the deductible was pretty high on the policy. I’m just glad to get rid of that accursed vehicle and am happy I am only paying for some damages on a truck instead of paying with some demerit points on my driving record.

Next time I am hiring movers. Not for the help, just to have someone else drive the blasted truck.

For Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive fans, this is pure fan service and no not the dirty up-skirt kind of fan service. The animator has a write up on the Game Trailers about all the work he put into this short and it shows. My only complaint is that it ends right when things are about to get really interesting, but that’s how they hook you now isn’t it?

Can’t wait for the next installment.

So awhile ago XKCD wrote this comic which introduced Rule 34 of the Internet:

“If you can imagine it, there is porn of it”

Case in point, WetRiffs.com as seen in said comic. Granted the site was created by the author and was populated with (some NSFW) photos from his fans, but it still proves Rule 34 correct.
