Pixels

This is an animated short by Patrick Jean appropriately titled Pixels. It's all about oldschool games invading New York, nd I highly recommend you watch it right now whether you get fired or not.

Crushed


Want to play video games with a girl but don't know any in real life? Well you're in luck, thanks to a new online service called GameCrush. For a minimum wage-y $6.60 you can play 10 minutes of XBox Live  with a scantily clad strumpet via webcam. Fun! Pathetic. That's so shameful I don't even know what to say.
"Girls somehow interested in this should know there's money to be made, with 60% of the proceeds from a match going to the "PlayDate", who at the conclusion of a game can be rated by the user on her "hotness, gaming skill, and flirtiness".
"GameCrush is restricted to those 18 years old and over, and players can select one of two kinds of match/date. I'll let the site's FAQ explain. "We have created two broad categories, "Flirty" and "Dirty" to help the PlayDate define and match her mood of gaming interaction and experience with those of the players. You can choose either option or both depending on how you feel!"

Bacon!

Roll this around on your tongue: "bacon beer." Sounds delicious right? Well how about, oh I dunno, BACON-INFUSED BOURBON SMOKED PORTER? If you want to make your own, Grocery Eats has a recipe, which doesn't involve actually brewing your own beer.

I'm Here

Absolut Vodka has posted Spike Jonze's "I'm Here" short on the internet, so you should watch that at some point. Just a warning: the site says you must above the legal drinking age to watch, so I'm guessing it's not safe for work, either for content or because the constant reminder of vodka will send you back into a shameful spiral of alcoholism, and that should probably be postponed until at least after 5.

Anyway, click the pic.

Best Picture... And Best Picture!

Jeepers! Until a few minutes ago, I knew nothing of Fifth Element director Luc Besson's Les Adventures Extraordinaires D'Adèle Blanc-Sec. Now that I've seen the trailer, it's my most anticipated upcoming release that involves a 1912 lady adventurer, a mummy in a bowler hat, and a pterodactyl.

Dark Day



So, the World Wide Fund For Nature focuses on issues regarding conservation, research and restoration of the environment. And they encourage everyone to turn off their non-essential lights for Earth Hour on March 27th from 8:30 to 9:30PM to raise awareness for climate change. Which, whether you even believe in climate change or not, you've got to admit I am gonna go to the beach tomorrow.

So, it turns out it's, like. mid-March. I know, I thought it was still January too. But it isn't. It's March 14th, which -- 3.14 -- is Pi Day! And in five years it'll be 3.14.15. What a special one that'll be! And for everybody out there that's all, "it's actually 14.3.10 today," you know what -- YOU CAN'T RAIN ON THIS PI PARADE! YOU HEAR ME?

25 Or 6 To 10:35

Fair enough, the "Mc10:35" isn't actually a secret McDonald's menu item because you have to buy two separate sandwhichs and put them together yourself. However, it is rare and dangerously delicious looking.
"I heard about this from a cashier at one of the local McDonald's. He said it's getting kind of a cult following in San Francisco.


"1. Go to McD's right when they are transitioning from breakfast to lunch.

"2. Order one of the remaining Egg McMuffins from the breakfast menu and also order a McDouble since the lunch menu is now open.

"3. Take the egg and Canadian bacon from the Egg McMuffin and put it on the McDouble.

"The guy at the register said people call it a Mc10:35 because that's pretty much the only time you can pull this off.

"They're damn good when hungover!"

You know what else is damn good when hungover? A bacon and aspirin omelet. Also, puking helps sometimes.

Oh, Man.

Bad news for guys who can't grow a beard. A recent study finds that ind a little facial hair and a geeky personality the two biggest turn-ons.
"Despite complaining that it looks unkempt and feels rough to touch, the unshaven look on a man is actually a turn-on for 41 per cent of women.

"A slightly geeky personality came second, proving that women really do like a guy who knows their stuff when it comes to technology.

"A hairy chest was voted third, followed by a man who loves to read or cries at a soppy film. Other secret turn-ons to feature in the top ten include grey hair, glasses and being a passionate supporter of a sports team.

"The poll of 2,500 women also revealed that 91 per cent would actually prefer a guy who had a few flaws over someone who is perfect. And more than half would rather a guy who was soft and cuddly instead of toned and muscly."

Do You Think He Sawr Us?

Tinysaurs are little dinosaur models created by artist Kelly Farrell. They're cute as hell and you better believe I'm gonna' catch 'em all!



"Each one is laser cut out of oak tag board using a 35 watt cutting laser, and pre-perfed for (relatively) easy assembly - assuming you've got some really steady hands.

"The T-Rex, triceraptops, stegosaurus and woolly mammoth kits are all available over at Kelly's Etsy shop, the Maker's Market, or Everything Tiny and cost just $7 (USD) unassembled, and $16 with a pair of tweezers and glue in a handy gift tin."

Note: If you're a complete lazy-ass with no hand-eye coordination Kelly is also selling pre-assembled dinos in a little glass case for $60. I don't recommend those. You get no street-cred for buying things preassembled.

Okay... look: here's Lady GaGa in London recently and screw her outfit. Check out the look on her bodyguard's face. There's a man who went straight home, told his daughter he loved her, then bought ten ponies and a Lamborghini just to make sure she got the message.

BaCoN

This is a $16 elemental bacon shirt. It spells 'BaCoN' through the clever placement of three periodic elements: barium, cobalt and nitrogen. And I think we can all agree: bacon would be a lot less popular if it actually were barium, cobolt and nitrogen.

For the first time ever, the MILLENNIUM FALCON -- the most beloved and iconic Star Wars ship of all-time -- is available as an indoor flying remote control vehicle. Measuring an impressive 11 inches long and 8 inches wide, the largest flying Star Wars R/C to date is highly detailed, easy to fly and includes a charging controller and vehicle battery for up to five minutes of flying time."

Tequila? Unwise.

Thanks to being sucked into the vortex of an insane dwarf hellbent on splattering the world with its crazy, The Bodyguard Group was forced to issue a lengthy press release defending its credibility. This pretty much reads as basically every thing you've ever suspected about Tila coupled with the non-surprising fact that these poor bastards went through war zones and still couldn't tolerate her.

The Bodyguard Group Official Press Release

"For 43 years our Company The Bodyguard Group has never given an interview about any current or former client or written a letter such as in this instance, this is our first and ONLY press release, in fact 99% of our members work has NEVER been posted on our web site.

"However, at this juncture we felt it necessary to set the record straight about our dealings with Tila Tequila and her comments about us and the Hilton family and other Celebrities for the following reasons:

"Tila has serious self medication & emotional problems that we pray that she can get professional treatment and help with. The Bodyguard Group has tried a brief intervention with her once but failed to get through to her.

"As Combat Veterans we have seen our friends tragically die in combat before their time; Therefore we have a very high respect for life and for this reason we truly pray Tila can get help before it is too late.

"Although we felt and still do feel very sorry for her, when we saw the types of self medication she was taking and many other things we cannot talk about in this press release, we decided could we could NOT perform any work for her, but we did try and help by explaining to her she was going to overdose and die much too young like Heath, Anna, River and so many others who tragically died before their time, unless she changed her current self-medicating practices.

"When Tila told us she was broke and could not pay us, we gave her our services for free, we even arranged to take her to a high end jewelry & watch Pawn Shop so she could sell her extra rings and watches, to raise money for her family. We were deeply saddened to learn from the owner & head jeweler that her rings were not diamonds.

"She gave our company her word, no press, no paparazzi while we were there to give her a ride, she lied to us and had the paparazzi waiting for us when we walked out.

"We do not ever accept being lied to by a client, even if we are not getting paid, so that ended our relationship with Tila Tequila.

"We were NEVER aware of Tila tweeting negative things about The Hiltons and other Celebrities, until yesterday, that is why we are releasing this information today.

The father of Tila's baby

"We deny that our owner or any member of The Bodyguard Group is the father of Tila's baby, Tila told us the father of her baby is her high school sweetheart, a U.S. Army Combat Veteran, who served in Afghanistan and now lives in Texas.

"As for what Tila said that we said about Paris Hilton, Nikki Hilton, David Katzenberg, Bijou Phillips and several other Celebrities:

"The Hiltons have ALWAYS treated The Bodyguard Group members with 100% respect, every word Tila alleges that we have said about the Hilton's is 100% FALSE, Tila Tequila has been tweeting and saying we said negative things about Paris & Nikki Hilton, David Katzenberg, Bijou Phillips and several other Celebrities.

"We have NEVER said anything negative about Paris, Nikki or anyone else that our group has ever protected, met or known period.

"The fact is Paris Hilton, Nikki Hilton, the Hilton family, David Katzenberg, Bijou Phillips, Jon Voight, Jack Nicholson, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Keanu Reeves, Eva Longoria, Conan O' Brien and hundreds of other Celebrities we have had any contact with have ALL been OUTSTANDING supporters of the U.S. Combat Veteran members of The Bodyguard Group and we are grateful for their support.

All of these celebrities and more have been kind enough to have taken photos with our U.S. Veteran members of The Bodyguard Group and have always treated our U.S. Veteran members extremely well, We will never forget your acts of kindness towards our members and friends."

Crying, Waiting... Mostly Crying, Really.


"The "11 stories of people crying in earnest", as the DVD's tag line states, include some that really don't seem so terrible but instead reflect the rigors of being an up & coming model in Japan's fiercely competitive "idol" culture:

* Marika, who was yelled at by her manager.

* Risa, who had been jilted by her boyfriend.

* Nana, who saw a bad picture of herself in a magazine.

* Shiho, who cried when her boyfriend said goodbye.

* Mai, who cried "touching the loneliness of the city"."
Wow, Japan... wow. You have officially crossed the line.

Underneath The Bunker

The man on the left is Professor Henry Markram. Based on this picture alone he's clearly a mad scientist. Don't believe me?
"Professor Henry Markram, a doctor-turned-computer engineer, announced that his team would create the world's first artificial conscious and intelligent mind by 2018.

"And that is exactly what he is doing.

"On the shore of Lake Geneva, this brilliant, eccentric scientist is building an artificial mind. A Swiss - it could only be Swiss - precision- engineered mind, made of silicon, gold and copper.

"The end result will be a creature, if we can call it that, which its maker believes within a decade may be able to think, feel and even fall in love."

Riiiiiiiiight. No big deal... what's the worse that could happen?

Restore amends, we must serve justice
