A Story in Three Parts

November 29, 2006 / Damion Schubert

1. The Red vs. Blue team makes a commercial for Madden, which shows a digitized Dallas Clark, tight end for the Indianapolis Colts, getting decleated repeatedly, and in slow motion.
2. Dallas Clark reports to the local media that it’s humiliating, and that guys in the locker room are razzing him for it.
3. The Red vs. Blue team apologizes and offers a Director’s Cut, in which Dallas Clark is portrayed as a minor god.

I swear, I love living in the digital age.

Look at the Sock Monkey!

November 28, 2006 / Damion Schubert

How do you get a large, unrluy mob to stop following the celebrities you are assigned to protect? You start fires. At least you do in Argentina.

The government also assigned firefighters and a fire engine … to start fires: “Believe it or not, the fire truck is used to put out small fires that are set by the firefighters themselves (when ordered to by their superiors over the radio) to distract people from chasing after the Bush twins. The fires are usually set in trash barrels as the firefighters stand by with a small hose.”

We now return you to our usual game-oriented content. I just couldn’t let that one pass.

Who Doesn’t Like Ukeleles?

As a Thanksgiving treat: the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britian performs Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Happy holidays, to everyone in the states.

Stupid Game Names

November 4, 2006 / Damion Schubert

Game Revolution has a list.

One wonders if ‘Ultima Worlds Online: Origin’ would have made the list if we’d shipped it.

Sneak King

November 3, 2006 / Damion Schubert

I know, I’m a whore for the Guitar Hero series, so I’m sure people are betting I’ll declare Guitar Hero II to be game of the year. Maybe, but this movie might convince you the winner should be the Burger King Stalker game. Watch it.

South Park to Skewer World of Warcraft?

September 29, 2006 / Damion Schubert

Just wanted to mention that the rumor has it the season premiere of South Park next week is rumored to skewer World of Warcraft. Repeat: this is a fairly unsubstantiated rumor.

Edit: got this from a friend who works at Blizzard:

Confirmed.

Worldofwarcraft.com just put up a preview.

The Aristocrats!

August 14, 2006 / Damion Schubert

I saw the Aristocrats last night, and I loved it.

The movie basically is about a joke, told about a hundred times by the world’s greatest comedians. The movie is priceless not only for each iteration of the joke (a vaudeville number that has been around at least a century), but for the comedians ruminating on the joke. The joke itself isn’t very funny- in particular, the punchline sucks. But what it has become is a mental stretching exercise for comedians, to see how far into left field they can go.

Note for the squeamish: by left field, I really mean the dark depths of depravity. This movie is by no means safe for the kiddies or the pure of heart. Still, it gives an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the creative process in another field – stand-up comedy – and for that it’s worth it.

Crazy Woman Holding a Possom

August 8, 2006 / Damion Schubert

I really just wanted to share this picture of Katherine Harris (remember her?) holding a possom by the tail. Really. It cracks my shit up.
