Mindless Self Indulgence - Bitches (YouTube)
Josh brought this to my attention some weeks ago and I'm hard up for a movie embed this week so here you are. It's pretty sweet.
THE SUPERHERO COMIC OF THE SUMMER (Comic Book Resources)
Cool story about why DC's Wednesday Comics will be great. I'm in, but I'm predisposed to random character anthologies, unlike most.
And here's a page of pics of people enjoying Wednesday Comics, as sent to the DC Source weblog. One of them features one of our local comic shops!
Unhealthy Fixation on Jobs's Illness (NY Times via Daring Fireball)
"Farrah Fawcett invited everyone into her sickroom as she died of anal cancer and received the faux adoration of millions in return. But Steve Jobs doesn't want your love. He wants you to buy his stuff."
Aeropodcast #89: Michael Bay... Eject! (Aeropause)
This is terribly gauche to quote myself, but during the news item where we discuss the on-again off-again Warner Bros buyout of Midway, I quip "Well, there goes my hopes for seeing a crossover game between Mortal Kombat and the DC comics characters." You need to be a nerd in at least two disciplines to laugh at that one.
soyf*ckers anonymous (Passive Aggressive Notes)
A very funny vegetarian slam note (disclaimer: yes, I'm still a vegetarian.)
USB Mini Fridge (Play Asia)
How do I not own one of these yet! It's a USB-powered fridge, big enough for a single soda can!
Opinion: Can Murder And Games Meaningfully Meet? (GameSetWatch)
I'm linking to this because it name-checks a novel I read and enjoyed, Natsuo Kirino's "Out."
Safari with me (The Brainy Gamer)
A writeup on Sony's Afrika, with a bonus comment discussion about photography in video games! Yes, I will be getting Afrika.
Of course, it comes out around roughly the same time frame as Batman: Arkham Asylum, Beatles Rock Band, Scribblenauts and Katamari Forever. The Back to School zone will be expensive indeed.
Afrika does look cool. It has taken a really long time to get here, but I'm not considering it here until I can actually buy it.
