It's Flying Pizza Kitty! From flyingpizzakitty.com, the best site about a flying cat on the internet by Ben. I'm not sure what else to say. I found a site full of 8-bit style art and animated gifs all about this little orange low res kitty. Some of the pop culture references in it are pretty funny.
Here we find Flying Pizza Kitty battling David Lo-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China:  Kind of cute actually. |

He's a gun-slinging umbrella-wielding filmmaker who believes he can never love again. She's a high-kicking foul-mouthed schoolgirl with someone else's memories. They fight crime!

NIIIIIINNNNNJAAAAAAA!!!!!
This is an awesome music video by Hexstatic using video footage and audio samples from a 1987 film titled The Ninja Showdown. If you like this sort of thing and you haven't heard of Hexstatic before I highly recommend checking them out for their often quirky yet grooving funky electro sounds and interesting music videos.
As for the ninja movie itself? I haven't seen it but it looks too corny to be true. Surely one of those 'so bad it's good' gems? Who knows, I may have to look into it but here is the plot summary from IMDB:
"A ruthless gang of Ninja marauders, a kidnapped maiden and a young man seeking vengeance set the stage for "The Ninja Showdown." Warlord boss Jing and his evil band of Purple Ninjas are unstoppable-hihgly trained assassins who ravage a peaceful town. But when the outlaw Ninjas abduct his girl, a wrathful Tony unleashes a furious assault with the help of Ninja Master Gordon. Together, these two men lay waste to Jing's army in a shattering battle to secure their honor and rescue the town from the clutches of a greedy and oppressive tyrant."

Wow, I've been playing Front Mission for the first time and it's pretty darn good and I'm wondering "How did I miss this?". Well I guess it's no wonder considering Square Enix (Square Soft at the time) never saw fit to publish the original game in the U.S. for the SuperNES and all I can say is it's a shame.

So I've mentioned before that I love pixel art so it may just stand to reason that I love chiptune music as well. I mean as far as I'm concerned chiptunes are to music what pixel art is to digital illustration.
Okay maybe not quite but in a way they share a similar spirit of boiling things down to their retro essentials while still tending to have their own flare and originality.
Anyways, here is a tune composed and synthesized on a good old Atari ST computer system by cerror. Sounds awesome right? Well it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

When I first discovered this there was only 4 episodes out and for a while I was afraid the creator wasn't going to make anymore. But eventually new episodes started rolling in and it's been a blast.
If you've ever played Half-Life then you'll especially appreciate this but even people who haven't usually find it quite funny and entertaining as well. Of course there are major spoilers though because this IS the game, Half-Life, and we're just privy to Dr. Gordon Freeman's thoughts as he tries to escape from the Black Mesa research and development facility.
While the premise seems pretty simple and it may sound boring actually watching someone PLAY the game while acting out the part of a rather neurotic and comical version of the main character all I can say is that the execution is brilliantly pulled off and the pacing always keeps things moving along. There are a lot of laugh out load moments as nearly every situation in the game is turned on it's head from the rather skewed perspective of Dr. Freeman and it's often a pleasant surprise when he does the unexpected or even misses out on the obvious because he's just trying to escape and he doesn't get the video game tropes that his world is constructed around.
Freeman's Mind - Episode 1
Freeman's Mind - Episode 2
Freeman's Mind - Episode 3
Freeman's Mind - Episode 4
Freeman's Mind - Episode 5
Freeman's Mind - episode 6
Freeman's Mind - Episode 7
Freeman's Mind - Episode 8
So kudos to Ross Scott for such a thoroughly entertaining series so far. He also does another machinima called Civil Protection that is pretty good. If you don't know what "machinima" is just think Red vs. Blue which is probably still the most well known example of machinima to date.

I find these cars hilarious. Ostentatiousness abounds!
The conversation with the production van driver afterwords is great. :3

Every time I see this hand-held vacuum by Dyson I think that it might be the latest ghost catching
device employed by the Ghost Busters or possibly some sort of alien ray gun.

Hey, want to listen to a dumbass who doesn't have clue about what freedom of speech is?
Boycott Youtube December 19th for Free Speech
You Tube is a privately owned website. They can't come to your house and tell you what you can and can't say. They can't go to another website that they do not own and tell you what you can say there either. They can't affect your right to free speech in any way. To say otherwise is to imply that the owners of You Tube do not have the right to control their own property and that users have a RIGHT to post You Tube videos. :?
When you go to a venue you must obey the rules set forth by whomever rightfully controls that venue. You don't go to a rock concert and get mad because the band won't let you get up on stage and play guitar with them.
Now the kid does have one good point. If you don't like the rules of the venue you don't use that venue. But that has nothing to do with free speech.
Now if the government was telling us what we could post on You Tube then that would a restriction on free speech and a clear example of censorship.

Good morning.
I had a dream last night that I encountered a very proper Englishman who was on the street seeking company to have some tea with (stereotypical I know). I asked him if he was having trouble finding someone to have tea with and he pointed at some woman on street a few yards away and asked "Do you know her?" and I said yes even though I had never seen her before. Then he said "Come, we shall allay ourselves with some tea." which I didn't think was weird at all in the dream even though that's an odd usage for the word "allay". Then there was a group of us including the woman and we were saying "Allay! Allay! Let's go have tea!" and we went to some restaurant and had all sorts of food but there was no tea that I remember among the foods that were present. o_O
I even made sure to look up the word allay to make sure that I do understand it's meaning properly and yep, it is to curb, to delay, to reduce or diminish, or perhaps to relieve or to calm. But I've never heard it applied directly to a person. "We must allay the peoples' panic." might be a common usage but "We must allay the people." is not. :P
