Stuff I found entertaining.

Scanned pages from the 1983 Sears Wishbook catalog. I remember the GI Joe spread in the 1984 catalog as being high quality.
I still have the Millennium Falcon.

Megatron!
Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?
Brought to you by Rum and Monkey
Look in a mirror and feel the evil. Then eat the mirror. You eat mirrors for breakfast. You are a badass death robot. You busted on Optimus Prime. You. Are. Megatron. Go outside and burn some animals, because you're worth it.
Declare your pre-Galvatron-ness!

Keith Jackson is going to retire. This is a sad day for TV. For years, Mark and I have hoped that someone was recording everything he said so that he could could be digitally recreated as the ultimate video game football announcer.

"In other words, recording songs off the radio the way kids have done for 40 years would be illegal now"

I haven't posted anything too political lately, but this is too good to pass up.
The Worst President in History?
Not all of it is really valid(especially the Global Warming/Katrina part), but most of it is factual.

Just after I finished the last post, Mark sent me this link.
Guitar Hero 2 in November, with more songs, more multiplayer options, and a practice mode!

I played a lot of Guitar Hero this weekend, and I specifically practiced Cowboys From Hell. A lot.
Since I got it stuck in my head for 3 days, I searched for videos of people playing it, like this guy playing it behind his back. Even after playing it a lot, I struggle on Medium difficulty.
While searching, I found this cool video of someone playing Ace of Spades on Expert.

The Ampex HS-100 used a hard drive to record up to 30 seconds of video and allowed instant replay and slow motion playback...in 1967.

Adult Swim Fix has streaming episodes of Adult Swim cartoons. I highly recommend watching Venture Brothers.

Rejoice! Mark has updated his blog, and the 10 Spot.
Also, the Wild Wild West is coming out on dvd! I know I have already posted that fact, but it is such a big deal that it needs to be repeated.
