Disney bought LucasFilm did they? They’ll ruin Star Wars will they? Doubt that. Even fans consider the prequels a low point and I’ve never been a fan of the series myself so this Star Wars Titanic parody made me chuckle.
SMBC posted this on the facebook page: “Worrying that Disney will ruin Star Wars is like worrying that a second iceberg will dive down to hit the Titanic.”
Star Trek all the way. Fight! (via)
Most of the time I’ll ignore the crazy and stupid comments that appear on Youtube but while listening to Bill Nye on this video I glanced at the comments.
Oh no. It’s true. Youtube makes you stupid.
As part of the Potato Sack promotion last year a number of indie games received updates featuring content from Valve games. I didn’t take much notice of them at the time but I just found out that The Wonderful End of the World got a secret level with companion cubes! Love the cover of the similarly named Portal song!
Gary Connery, a 42-year-old daredevil, plunged from a helicopter in a death-defying jump before landing in an area containing 18,600 cardboard boxes.
That’s a lot of boxes but when you see how small they are from the height he jumped from you’ll see how dangerous the stunt was and get an idea how crazy brave he is. Wow!
Thanks Matt for the link!
My 5yro son loves Star Wars and he loves that song. I think he’ll love this video.
One of the missions in SSOC leads you into the X18 Lab where you have to contend with all manner of nasties including poltergeists that love nothing better than to fling barrels and other heavy goods at you. So when I managed to find the location where the second entry code was supposed to be I was quite relieved! With growing frustration I searched fruitlessly for several minutes. I knew it had to be on the body of a scientist. I even watched through a walkthrough and noticed that body suddenly appeared on the ground which gave me an idea.
Yes, even though the body is missing, it’s still there. Argh! The rest of the level was great. I loved sneaking past the guards outside. Very creepy, very tense.
Now, does anyone know who this group portrait is of? I found it close by in a small side room. This was using the Complete 2009 mod of the game btw.
I watched some of the Google I/O presentation yesterday. I love the look of the Nexus 7 and if the Nexus Q was cheaper I’d love to buy that too. Unfortunately I switched off just before the most impressive part. The skydive in a Google Plus Hangout. Well, here it is, and in the second video, they do it again but this time Sergey Brin explains how it was done.
Niall and his unique way of destroying tanks and other obstacles in Battlefield Bad Company 2. Yes, I was riding in the tank with him. Fun times!
Be sure to watch the whole video, some great clips there as always!
In the aftermath of a devastating football game last night against Spain, Angela Merkel addresses the Irish Nation exposing the harsh reality of our situation. Namely, “are you putting up with ordinary broadband?”
Thanks Apres Match.
