things that are awesome

[jazzfish]

In no particular order:

• It's Raining 300 Men (the short version; the pacing is better)
  
• The Legend of Zelda: A Never-Ending Adventure (rock the eighties)
  
• Centipede (rock the eighties even more)
  
• Haloid, and why can't you use the Grapple Beam offensively, anyway?
  
• jadelennox writes Slings and Arrows fanfic
  
• mytholder writes sentences from stories he hasn't written yet
  
• Burning Bush: "It's as though we've reached a tipping point. Any day we're going to see Laura in an 'I'm With Stupid' T-shirt."
  
• 16 Panels That Jon Morris Doesn't Think Work All That Well, such as "The Non-Contextual Visual Aside"
  
• The fact that John Kerr, at whose condo the Arlington Board Gamers meet, has a pigeon nest on his balcony, with two squabs

Update: Clocky, which vvalkyri points out is now available for general purchase.

the centipede add is amazing!

That is certainly one word for it.

The phantom of the centipede is there, inside your game.

Oh no. I easily remember the Zelda 2 ad, but I blocked the original's ad from my memory. Now I remember why I must have done so.

[jazzfish]

Wow. I have no memory of a Zelda 2 ad at all. I should go look that up.

And how can you forget "Zelda? Zelda? Zelda? ZELLLLDAAAAA!"

[heptadecagram.livejournal.com]

It was the "Leeeeevers!!" that triggered the flashback. I think I said "Zelda" so much at my young age that his really didn't register.

I am sadly (?) unable to find a commercial for Zelda 2 that isn't in Japanese. I did, however, find this disturbing gem for Link to the Past.

I sadly know what that Thriller is without looking at it a seventh time. Alas.

Thanks for remembering about the squab. I really need to post about that myself.

[jazzfish]

They were cute! And fuzzy! And totally non-pigeon-like!

[uilos.livejournal.com]

And final proof to me that spontaneous generation doesn't work. Really, pigeons were my last hold out.

I want a Clocky. I really want a Clocky. Mostly to see the cat's reaction, because I suspect it would be the laughing that would actually wake me up.

[jazzfish]

I think Jmac's response when the prototype was first announced was along the lines of "I want one! Even though I hate it already!"

And yeah, potentially best morning cat toy ever.

:) Quite. Saw that one (and 'YMCA') Wednesday night while looking for '300 Men.'

Shen needs a Clocky.

[jazzfish]

He'd spend all his time poking it to see where it went next.
