More-Famous Friday

In the spirit of Halloween (why do we celebrate the harvest? Are we farmers?), I decided that this Halloween video needs to be more famous. Freddy Krueger has troubles moving into a new neighborhood, as well as explaining the absurdity of the plots of his movies. Warning: this contains spoilers in case you haven't already seen the Nightmare on Elm St. debacles (I mean movies):



Happy day of harvest/witches and candy.

They Don't Make Smell-Proof Costumes

Now, I'm not a big partygoer (I am, bruh, let's drink jagerbombs until we can't feel the inner pain of our empty existences anymore). I did have a party-related hilarity, however. There was a party in a building with biotechnology laboratories in it (a great idea, to be sure), and some of the astronomy club walked over to see what it was about. We didn't go in, but all the entertainment we needed was outside; there was a guy with a ridiculously elaborate pirate costume and a guy dressed as a WWI nurse. They both had their own bottles of liquor. They were both almost empty. They both offered us them. The awkward factor was through the roof.

Then, as I walked back to my dorm, I had to pass 3 or 4 groups of complete bros. You know how some people splish splash too much cologne? I figured they would smell bad, and they did, but it was as though their combined colognes and body sprays and deodorants had a synergistic effect. It was an olfactory Blitzkreig, and we need to get the UN all up in here (do people get "all up in" things anymore?)

Sesame Street is a lot more Intricate than I Remember It

Seriously, check out this video of that lady that did the iPod Nano song:


God, as much as I want to hate that song, it is really catchy. The funny thing is that the lyrics to that song are actually not happy at all, which makes the music video seem completely ridiculous. On second thought, all music videos are unnecessary. With the amount of grainy cell phone footage from concerts available on YouTube, what possible use could an elaborate and very expensive music video serve? It seems like the production companies are just getting rich off of this. Did I mention The Sandwich Collective Productions? No? We'll make you an ironically quirky music video if you give us a wheelbarrow full of money.

Oh yeah, and when did Sesame Street get a budget of more than some pocket change? And where did those extra characters come from? We need to get Sean Hannity on the case. Libruhl medjuh conspuracy.

My goodness. This picture is one of the funniest pictures/comic strips I have ever seen. When I first saw this, I rofled for at least 5 minutes. I hope everyone enjoys this picture as much as I do. Not only does it make fun of Batman, but the man's expression to the drawing is priceless.

No Time for my Rhyme

I'm a rapper. Physics test tomorrow, so I've got no time for a full post tonight. Enjoy today's Zero Punctuation, which is on Saint's Row 2:

The News is Done, Buy Fallout 3

There is no news. In all seriousness, the most interesting thing to me (and thus, the most interesting thing) was the release of Fallout 3. 1UP gave it an A, Gamespot gave it a 9/10 (it's not Halo or Gears of War, so no 10 for you!), and IGN gave it a 9.6/10. It looks really good, but it's necessary to keep in mind the ridiculous amount of score inflation that happens at these places. Remember Assassin's Creed? Yeah, that game sucked after about the first third of the game was over, and yet it got a 9/10 from Gamespot and a 9.5/10 from Game Informer. What? Did they play the same game I did?

I'm willing to give Fallout 3 the benefit of the doubt, though, for 2 reasons:
1. It was made by Bethesda Studios, the makers of my favorite game yet for the 360, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This game was ridiculously good, and is to this day the only game which I have 100 percented (now fans of Math and proper English can hate me!) both in-game and in achievements.

2. I have a lot of love for the Fallout series (we will not speak of Fallout: Tactics!). I honestly feel a lot closer to this series than I did to Halo, although that probably has a lot to do with my personal preference for RPGs over rootin' tootin' shootin' games (this is the Old West and we play games that are on wooden cartridges).

So, while I would be wary of high scores, this also looks like one of the best games of the year. Here's the IGN video review of the game for those who may be interested in such things (for such things shall lead to the end of the Age of Middle Earth because of my ridiculous language choices when I'm tired):
