So today, I lead with one of the strangest bits I've seen on the show:
Now on to the ad game, and the one that's been sticking out in EVERYBODY'S minds (and vocabulary) lately (this one is SFW, although the tone may not indicate it). Here is the extended version:
Seriously - not a day goes by lately that I don't hear somebody referred to as a "Lint Licker" or a "Cootie Queen!"
I leave you today with what is probably the best (read: "funniest," NSFW) bit in this post (one that had me laughing harder the longer it went on) - a video brought to us by Sr. Mario J.:
"Who designed this fucking level?!"
Seriously - I'm crying!!
Until next time, true believers - Stay Dirty (and or Awkward)!
Every once in a while, a show comes along that draws from all sorts of different walks of life... After having just seen the pilot episode to the new NBC show Chuck, I'm pretty sure this will be one of them...
First of all, it's got action. Add in a dash of comedy. Throw a few bones to the fanboys (Apple, XBox and Twitter references). Finally, add in the insanely hot (and insanely Australian) Yvonne Strahovski (as per the official site, although IMDB lists her as Yvonne Strzechowski) - To be honest, I really can't wait to see the next episode of this one...
Here's to hoping NBC doesn't screw the pooch on this one!
I'll concur with the good Doctor Ogo (whom we can thank for this delicious bit of weird) when I say that I'm speechless (and we all know how rare that is!):
As some of you know, this week brought the latest addiction: Guitar Hero II.
This game is SO much fun... Essentially, you need to hold fret buttons while strumming a strum bar on a virtual guitar - and play notes to some of our favorite songs... Really - you gotta try it... Go to Best Buy... Now!
Here's where we get to the heart of the matter... This week's LBC Trax (Vol. 5!) is dedicated to my Top 10 Favorite Songs from the XBox version of Guitar Hero II:
So normally I'd leave the vid game posts to Babylon or Big Irish, but this is actually more of a music post, so I'll stake my claim.
Next week, Microsoft and Epic Games introduce the world to Gears Of War - a futuristic, "teamwork oriented, third person shooter from Epic utilizing the latest in Unreal technology." (from 1Up.com)
At a recent showing of Saw III (go see Borat instead!) with Babylon and JKaye, I had the pleasure of seeing the trailer for this game on the big screen, and it was, for lack of a better term, "bad-ass!" The best part for me, of course, was the use of the Michael Andrews/Gary Jules cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World," from the Donnie Darko soundtrack... You knew something this cool couldn't go long without being bastardized...
Thankfully, the bastardization is still early, and thus, not annoying or horrible yet. The creative youth of America has taken the video from the trailer and remixed it with their favorite songs...
First, here's the original trailer (originally seen by most of you on DavidBabylon.com):
And now, a few of the remixes:
(By far, my favorite: An extended version, set to "One," by Metallica.)
(Never have the words to Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" sounded more apt.)
(Certainly the goofiest: "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats)
(The M.J. Special: "Listen to the first verse...")
