Chart Party – The Search For The Saddest Punt In The World

ofsparrows – good luck, roomba witch

There's no going back to how things used to be, for better or worse. It's time to adapt! It's a lot to process, but I want to be here for everyone and post more than just once a month. This feed's about to get flooded with video game music for 30 days, so here's something that's neither video games nor music.

tfw your folks replace the (perfectly serviceable!!!) old hoover with a roomba and you don’t have a god damn clue how you’re gonna fly the thing

so i tried out a few suggestions in the tags and

Wintergatan – Marble Machine

TwistedSifter just keeps finding awesome stuff I want to share. If you like my posts, you ought to subscribe to TwistedSifter too. How else would I have found out about Swedish electronic folk band Wintergatan and their one-man band contraption? 2000 marbles play a catchy loop on the machine’s built-in vibraphone, bass guitar, and drum set.

How Americans Eat Hamburgers

UPDATE: Joe Inoue deleted his video and then uploaded it again with a shameless plug at the end.

I put some ketchup on a frozen hamburger today and remembered this old video from Japanese American rocker Joe Inoue joking about how we Americans love our burgers. He went on to make some anime opening songs and a new English YouTube channel called VellySillyBilly.

Zeta Gundam montage

UPDATE: Voltan’s video is gone, so I’ve replaced it with another montage from Destroy All Podcasts that seems to include the same clips.

Uh oh, I got too distracted by PAX East, Tetris victories, and Sayonara Umihara Kawase that I almost forgot I have a blog and a good video to post to it. Zeta Gundam is a show about giant fighting robots in space, but people sure hit each other at lot. YouTube user Voltan made a supercut of all the satisfying slaps, punches, and kicks that turn whiny pilots into brave fighters.

Sure, let’s run Kajet’s version too. Why not? 2007 YouTube, go!

Rockson Film Production

We don't often see movies from Ghana, but Rockson Emmanuel blesses us with these outrageous trailers that regularly feature at Anime Hell. He's still working on it. Good for him! Get out there and create weird, cool stuff.

I'm questioning if the move to Tumblr last year was a good idea. My feeds are panicking about stuff getting flagged! Tumblr might suffer the same fate as other services Yahoo bought. It's too much work to write the same post on WordPress and Tumblr, and all the linked text is lost on Facebook and Twitter cross-posts anyway.

Bill Wurtz – i'm a huge gamer most of the time

Oh cool, Bill Wurtz just popped up in my YouTube feed! Time for me to step away from my subreddit about floaty things for a minute and post this to my old social media places! I’ve been a huge gamer my whole life. Though recent changes have taken priority over games, I still play Wordle, lichess, and retro games. I miss my stream and I want to reboot the stream when I can.

Crappy Design

/r/CrappyDesign is a blindingly colorful Subreddit that collects unfortunate design mistakes from all over the world. They’re the Engrish.com of half-baked engineering. Good old TwistedSifter recently did what I do with artists and made a post of the best/worst of the bunch.

The first animated gif on my blog took three years and is actually an mp4, not a gif. The gif was 10.7MB. I'll be using this modified Reddit gifv code to bring you more fake gifs in the future. You should be able to click this and go to TwistedSifter's post. Will it work, or is this just another crappy design? (For Tumblr, I corrected Giphy’s downsized medium version of this into a proper 3MB gif.)

Lovely Planet

Quicktequila’s Lovely Planet is the anti-modern FPS. Instead of being multiplayer, gritty, and easy, Lovely Planet is single player, cutesy, and incredibly difficult. Calum Bowen’s happy, catchy soundtrack only really fits the first couple worlds. After that, the game introduces cruel new mechanics that demand precision trick shots on the run. I couldn’t beat a single stage in world 5 except the ending. If your keyboard-and-mouse skills are awesome, give this game a shot. It’s different.

Ohio State Marching Band – Hollywood Blockbusters

The Ohio State University football team has a 20 game winning streak and is still somehow only 4th in the polls. One thing’s for sure, though. We have the Best Damn Band in the Land.

One of these days, I’ll have to dig up some videos from my band days at Westerville North. Band was awesome.

PiNe – Lemonade

Another one of those scenes that only works in fiction. Where would I get a glass this big? So refreshing!
