Zombie Vignettes

Taken from video description:

My brother and I began work on a project that would involve drawing some comics, and eventually some cartoons, featuring zombies trying to act civilized (and ultimately failing) in a world they now rule. Well, neither of us are artists so we haven't been able to get the comics part going but my brother is good with music so he put the theme song for these Zombie Vignettes together. I just slapped together a slide show to help present this theme. Hope you like it.

The Legend of Zelda: There and Back Again



http://v-f-h.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/legend-of-zelda-timeline-and-analysis.html

56 pages detailing the story tidbits from all 16 Zelda games. Can't wait to consume this thing.

Still not as big as the canon plot guide for Street Fighter over at gamefaqs, though...

Christmas stuff

Yeah, I'm late for this. Anyway, here's the stuff I got.

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
Mario Kart 7
2 shirts
Best Buy gift card
some restaurant gift card
box of chocolates

So anyway... on to Mario Kart 7.

Glitches and bugs in Mario Kart games aren't anything new but you typically have to go out of your way to find them. I found one while playing Mario Kart 7 normally. In Luigi's Mansion, I was just driving when all of a sudden, I entered the out-of-bounds animation and had to get reset by a Lakitu even though I was still on the track.

Yet another sign this game was rushed... Other signs include just the general lack of options and features in this game. Oh well...

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/05/tech-gear-shouldnt-buy-this-christmas/

"If you have a kid who's too young for a smartphone, there's nothing wrong with getting a Nintendo DS (starting at $100) or DS3 (the 3D model, $170)."

Ignoring the ridiculous mention of smartphones, I'd like to know what a DS3 is. And where's my DS2? Oh, this is just a 3D model of the original DS? So I guess that's why she says it's okay to buy either/or. Then she says...

"I wouldn't buy the PlayStation Portable at this time, because Sony will discontinue it when they company launches the Vita in February."

I guess she didn't realize that the 3DS is Nintendo's Vita. Meaning... don't buy the DS at this time.

If you haven't bought it yet, now's the time.



Anyway, I didn't really want the iPod touch so I returned it and got some clothes instead. Also used my Best Buy gift card to buy a few movies: Zathura, Tommy Boy, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure.

Birthday booty

Well, I'm now a whole 28 years old. So lets see what Santa brought me...

I got an iPod Touch, Punch-Out for the Wii, a Best Buy gift card, and another gift that's still pending...

Not too shabby. I wonder what I should get with the gift card...

Argh!

Stop posting on my LJ, spammers!

Anyway, I've been really busy with my new job. I haven't even had a chance to play Minecraft. Plus, all my free time has been eaten up by games on Kongregate... Maybe I can play some more Minecraft this weekend. I plan on building DUNGEON MAN.
