Super Princess Peach for NintendoDS

This is interesting on so many levels:

"Call it payback. Mario's been kidnapped, and it's up to Princess Peach to return the favor and save him. Super Princess Peach for the DS is a classic side scroller, but also features novel touch pad use. Peach has four emotions: "yorokobi" (happiness), "okoru" (anger), "kanashimu" (sadness) and "tanoshimu" (fun). By using the power gauge, these emotions can be accessed through the touch screen, causing Peach to literally cry a river or get pissed off and burn stuff. SheĆ¢€™s bound to get ticked the umpteenth time she rescues the plumber only to find that it's his doppelganger, and the real Mario is in another castle."

it's a joke!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing, and concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident"

"Oh no", the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sit there, stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President slumps, head in hands. Finally the President looks up and asks...

"How many is a brazillion?"

- big ups to the connie lum massive

laugh out loud

Tom Cruise's lawyers apparently don't scare "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. At Saturday's New Yorker Festival's panel "Anarchy & Animation," interviewer Tad Friend asked them what they would say if Cruise asked them to do a live-action movie. "Tom Cruise is gay!" Parker deadpanned. "And he lies about it all the time!" - courtesy of Gawker.com

from bill maher to george w.

Now, seriously, Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you anymore. There's no more money to spend. You used up all of that. You can't start another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.

Yeah, listen to your mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit card's maxed out, and no one is speaking to you: mission accomplished! Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service. And the oil company. And the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or spaceman?!

Now, I know what you're saying. You're saying that there's so many other things that you, as president, could involve yourself in...Please don't. I know, I know, there's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela, and eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote. But, sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man.

Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes.

On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two Trade Centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans...Maybe you're just not lucky!

I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side. So, yes, God does speak to you, and what he's saying is, "Take a hint."

so true

"Storytelling is mostly about people. Games are mostly about things, so far. It is easier to create mathematical simulations about things than people."

-Ernest Adams in a conference keynote

katrina coverage

on fox news (woah).

bushy

Touring the Houston Astrodome where many of Katrina's victims are being temporarily housed, the President's mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, made the following comment to NPR's Marketplace: "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this -- this (she chuckles slightly) -- is working very well for them."

bungie flood t-shirt

my "scottish" friend frankie, who works over at a little company called "bungie", who makes a little game called "halo", in which you must defeat an entire race of ugly mutant psycho-beasts called "the flood", has passed on this link to a t-shirt that will not only make you chuckle with its delicious punnery, not only make you look handsome in its form-fitting glory, not only help get you a chick who can dual-wield plasma rifles, but will also, ALSO, make you feel all warm and perhaps a bit fuzzy inside cos you've just donated to a cause other than your own libido: fight the flood
