Drowning Parrot (not what you think)
It’s amazing what some people will train animals to do.
Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris
Things to look out for in this clip:
- Chest hair.
- Snap zooms.
- Dialog.
- Sweeping the leg, Billy Zabka-style.
- Over-the-top brass when the fight gets really serious.
I say Chuck loses because he didn’t yet have his beard, which is clearly the source of his power.
Understanding Pac-Man Ghost Behavior
Each of the ghosts is programmed with an individual “personality”, a different algorithm it uses to determine its method of moving through the maze. Understanding how each ghost behaves is extremely important to be able to effectively avoid them. However, before discussing their individual behaviors, let’s first examine the logic that they share.
I’ve read some of the source material on this before—the way the ghosts are programmed in Pac-Man is an awesome tale of making the best of limited resources and of sharp and inspired design.
Mass Effect 3 Teaser Trailer
I couldn’t be much more excited for this – the first two games were a great ride and I’m looking forward to a conclusion to the series.
The Brothers Mario
Warning: contains violence, language, and awesome.
Don't Forget to Report your Friends and Family for Thoughtcrime, Too
Are we serious?
At least 200 Wal-Mart stores will roll out security announcements within 24 hours, Walmart spokesman Dan Fogleman said. By month’s end, 588 stores in 27 states will be participating in the program. A short video featuring Napolitano will appear on TV screens at select checkout lanes, asking Walmart shoppers to contact local law enforcement to report suspicious activity.
“If you see something suspicious in the parking lot or in the store, say something immediately,” Napolitano said in the video. “Report suspicious activity to your local police or sheriff. If you need help ask a Wal-Mart manager for assistance.”

Gran Turismo 5 vs. Forza 3 AI Comparison Video
This is just awful:
The video above has pretty much cemented that I’ll be picking up Forza 3 on the cheap and skipping GT5 altogether. Of course, I never finished most of Forza 2, so whatever.
Let's eat.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
How to Curl Pictures
There aren’t any of me in here because I couldn’t find a good way to get a picture taken that didn’t make me look like a complete idiot, but these are pictures of the session after mine on the ice.
(And there’s a couple of pictures of the bubble hockey table, too.)
