Posting a blog about a blog, redundant? You're redundant.
But This blog features some amazing digital art, from a wide variety of artists and I suggest you check it out.



Here's a few I really liked:

xkcd

Something most people don't know about me is that I love physics. I never took physics class, but during high school and part of college I would often spend my spare time reading a physics book I had bought. Yeah, I know, I'm a nerd. A friend showed me this website, xkcd.com, that hosts a bunch of web-comics made by a physicist. Here's a little example -


Hover your mouse over the last frame for a little extra.

Guy Goma

Another post borrowed from Cracked.com for your entertainment. -

Guy Goma was waiting on a job interview at the BBC when a receptionist wandered in and asked for "Guy." Of course, she was looking for Guy Kewney, who was going on air to speak about Apple and the Beatles suing each other because--and this just shows that you can revolutionize the handheld gadget industry and the pop music genre, yet still be complete and utter tools--they both thought they owned the rights to the word "apple." Goma apparently thought this was part of his job interview, and managed to show some surprising restraint considering how completely irrelevant the interview questions for Supply Manager were getting--until about halfway in he realizes, holy sh*t, this is actually going out on air:

Goma, perhaps hoping to prove beyond question that he is indeed an "adaptive multi-tasker who thinks on this feet," just up and rolled with it. Unsurprisingly, he didn't get the job. But since then, he's had a string of TV appearances, they might be making his life into a movie and he's become the official poster boy of "Goin' With the Flow" everywhere. Sorry, McCounaghey.

yay everyday

My good friend Tessa shared this image with me, I just had to share it with you guys.


wow.

So I checked out the website it was on, yayeveryday.com, and found quite a few other interesting things to share, enjoy:

Friedrich Wilhelm Voight

I just had to share this. I borrowed it from Cracked.com -

Friedrich Wilhelm Voight. Voight was screwed coming AND going, and not just because he lived in 19th century Germany. Voight didn't have a passport, so he couldn't get a job, and he didn't have a job, so he couldn't get a passport. In literary circles, that's what's known as a Catch-ef-this-is-bs. At his wit's end, Voight decided to capitalize on Germany's love for mindlessly following authority, scrounged up a little cash and bought a captain's uniform. He stopped five soldiers on their way to their barracks and ordered them to follow him, which they did--because he's wearing the special pants, so he's got to be an officer, right? Voight got them to arrest the mayor and treasurer, and ship them off to Berlin, then walked off with four thousand marks. Nobody at any point questioned his credentials or even asked why they'd never seen this captain before.

Presumably out of fear of being bludgeoned to death by his giant brass balls.

Dawn of the Zombie Wednesday!

DEAD FRONTIER:

So I played Dead Frontier a whole lot this past week. When I first started, I died, a lot. The game has quite the learning curve, and you aren't given a lot of information at the beginning. But the information is available, if you look for it. There is a very helpful wiki for the game, which will become your best friend while playing. Also, I found that the community is very helpful, don't hesitate to get on the chat system or the forums and ask questions.

Once you get the hang of the game, it can be very addicting and entertaining. It is, however, far from perfect, there are glitches and many things that will disappoint and annoy. That being said the game is still in testing, and being updated quite frequently. As a matter of fact, while I was playing this week, they overhauled the create-a-character and let me re-edit my character. I was tempted to give this game a lower score (a very low one when I kept dying haha) but, I can see that it's only going to keep getting better, and the more I played the more I fell in love with it. So Dead Frontier gets a 4 out of 5, highly recommended for zombie fans and rpg fans everywhere. Play it for yourself (for free!) here: www.deadfrontier.com

Treehouse of Horror XX:

In TreeHouse of Horror XX, the simpsons play homage to zombie movies. In the story, the new Krusty burger turns Springfield into zombies, or what they refer to as "Munchers." Bart is found to be immune, and is Springfield's last chance for survival. One of the funniest quotes in the episode is when Homer is being turned and Lisa says, "Dad... are you becoming a muncher?" and zombie Homer replies, "I think the better brains is, are you brains a brains!" The Simpsons never ceases to amaze me and this is the best Treehouse of Horror story yet.

Wishlist Item:

I've been waiting for this game to come out going on 2 years now. It's a card game by the makers of the amazing game, Munchkin (http://www.worldofmunchkin.com) If you know anything about Munchkin, you know that it is a game that heavily parodies, while paying homage to games like Dungeons and Dragons. Well Evil Ted seems to be the same thing, but parodying the Evil Dead series. This game has been listed as "In production" for quite some time now, but it it does ever get finished up and released it should be quite the game for zombie fans and Munchkin fans alike. http://www.sjgames.com/evilted
