Cardboard Light Cycles

Out of all the Sweded videos I’ve seen, I like this one the best:

Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can see coloured gems shifting around …

I am completely addicted to Puzzle Quest and I don’t know exactly why. The game is basically a clone of Bejeweled, which I never got into when it first became popular. But take that basic puzzle mechanic, add some RPG elements to it like magic spells and mythical mounts and you have the equivalent of video game crack.

Since I bought the DS version of the game, I get my fix during my long commutes to and from work. Sometimes I get a hit just before bedtime, but that can lead to some dangerously late evenings. I am not ashamed to admit that I will even try to sneak in a few games while I am sitting on the porcelain throne … I just have to be careful that certain mental associations are NOT made.

Would you like Coke, Pepsi or Whaaa-taaaaah?!

If you are going to choose a mascot for your restaurant, choose one that can kick the fries out of any other mascot out there.

Yeah, just try sneaking up on him and we will see what happens. I am talking to you Mr. Burger King!

Tweeting all over the globe

Watching tweets pop up on Twittervision is addictive. I don’t even have a Twitter account and I have had the page open in the background all evening while I do my thing.

Things that have helped to cheer me up this morning

Dead Fantasy II

I called Dead Fantasy I “pure fan service” and I complained that it ended right when things were getting interesting.

I was right. Things got interesting. Crazy, over the top, walking-the-fine-line-between-ridiculous-and-awesome interesting.

Here is Dead Fantasy II

I particularly enjoyed the Drunken Boxing sequence on top of the piece of rock floating on top of a river of liquid hot magma.

I can’t believe I actually wrote that sentence. Crazy!

Get to the chopper!

Predator summarized in six and a half minutes.

Did I forget to mention the awesome rap? Yeah, there’s that.

Oh and NSFW due to … well it is Predator after all.

Salt, Pepper and lots of Malt Vinegar

BlogTO shares with us their list of Toronto’s Best Fish & Chips places. I am surprised that I have managed to eat at five of the ten restaurants on their list as I have never taken myself to be a fried and battered fish connoisseur.

While I do not agree with their choice of Chippy’s as the best joint in town, I do have a soft spot for Sun Crisp Fish and Chips. When I was just a little boy my mom would often stop by the place since it was near her office and buy us dinner for the evening. I doubt the pieces are as huge as I remember them to be but back then that meal was a salty fried bonanza of goodness.

Great for Street Fighter Cosplay as well

Ooh, the MAKE: Blog has instructions for making your own fireball shooter for less than ten bucks in materials. Plans are available in video and print format. Whip two of these babies up and you could do some crazy Firebending cosplay.

Get down to Business

This is scary.

OK, it is very scary. Well the idea of it being mass produced and given to Joe Public is scary. Why would you be jogging in an area that requires a machine gun at the drop of a hat?
