Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

And here I thought I'd go all day without a post! I had one written up (about Jon Stuwart on Fox and Michele Bachmann's fears of being kidnapped by lesbian ex-nuns), but I worrying that I've been posting too much political stuff lately, I deleted it.

And then I found this video! The day has been saved!



I love the part about the wedding "Wouldn't it be fun to pee on the bride's and groom's faces?". Ummmm, no? :P

Also, in honor of the last Game of Thrones ep tonight, have the theme done in 8-bit, which is pretty darned cool. While I've heard horrible things bout the game of the Game of Thrones, I'm sure it'll be somewhat better than 8-bit!

Edit: Oh my, this is the bestest tattoo of bestest tattoos ever!

Continuing the trend of reposting great old videos, remember this one?



The Craft of War. I hadn't seen it in a year or so, but it came up in conversation so I tracked it down. Still the most awesome thing ever.

It's funny, the first time I watched it I thought both main characters were Alliance, I hadn't realized the woman was Horde/belf (I wasn't playing WoW, had quit after just a month or so). Now I know why I love that city/background music so much!

In a very related thing, it's still sad to me that WoW splits the playerbase up into two factions, I'd still rather have it be all PCs vs NPCs. Heck, I wish for that even more now than ever. I went back to Hordeside to make a Vial of the Sands mount for the lovely kaelash, and the AH was full of people flagged for PvP. I had such intense uncertainty in my stomach! Should I be happy they're defending the city? But even more strongly, I worried that whichever Alliance they killed off might have been someone I knew. (And yeah, yeah, silly, death isn't meaningful like that, but that's still what I felt.)

I miss Hordeside. Timing is funny on that -- this weekend we had a giant (100+ people) successful IC event run by our guild. I still don't feel like Alliance though. Will I ever? Do I want to? I wonder how people play both sides. I'm not sure if I'm having trouble with this because I played Horde for years and never ever ever set foot once on Alliance side or if it's something different about me as a person (or maybe both).

I'm RPing by email (sort of) on Haken, so if anyone who has previously RPed with him (or Keen) wants to, poke me in comment and we can set it up.

Dandelion is nearly 80 (needs less than a quarter of a level). My patience for questing ran out a few levels back and I've been doing it through archaeology. I figure if I need to quest for guild rep, I might as well do it at 85 when I get ~75 per quest rather than now when I get ~20 per quest.

While this zombie kitten video IS highly cute, I wouldn't be reposting it if not for the clever choice in music:



They used the theme from The Walking Dead, the best zombie end-of-the-world show ever on TV! (And man, I can't wait for the next season to start!) Credit to achika_soladia for the video link!

In other cat-related news, while I hate Twitter, there's a Game of Thrones newsfeed that gathers all the ep-related tweets from the night and reposts them. Those I'm willing to read. Best one of the last ep?

@TNRLM: My cat was mesmerized my Arya chasing cats on #GameOfThrones. This show really does hit all demographics.

Ha!

My RL cat continues to not like Glee. I think all the singing bothers her (probably sounds like yowling or screaming). She'll sit there, staring at the TV, then when someone starts to sing her ears will slllloooowly pin backwards, then she runs off. She watches a lot of TV, but Glee is the only show that sends her running.

This animated short got its maker a job at Pixar. Not surprising at all, it's one of the best animated things I've seen in a while.



It's so impressive how well the characters communicate and how quickly you feel for them!

Wow. Just wow. I love the music in this and I'm so totally in love with... what I can't describe without ruining your experiencing it on your own. Let's just say this is really, really well made.

I wish this were longer than three minutes!



Fixed video link!

Thanks to the Daily Show, I have learned that there is in fact a whole "rainbow of rape"!

Education is power, my friends! Click here to see the video and then you too will know if you have been raped, rape-raped, or only rape-ished!

ilu, Daily Show.

The Jurassic Park theme done by a Japanese guitar club. I had no idea guitars could make sounds like these do! Almost violin-like.



Jurassic Park was such a good movie, I still watch it any and every time I catch it on TV.

I sure am getting to be a grumpy old person though. One of the youtube comments was "Brings back all the childhood memories.". Childhood memories? Childhood?! The movie came out in 1993! That's just about yesterday! Gah! You young people are just way too young.

For the longest time, The Little Drummer Boy was the only Christmas song I ever liked. Now I finally know why.

I know it's a few days after Christmas, but you must watch this safe sex Christmas music video!



NWS lyrics! If you're at work, use headphones. There's one naked (nonsexual) man seen from the back, no bits shown. A whole lot of suggestive dressed men.

Listen to the lyrics! They start about two minutes in.

*so very dead* I'm going to be singing this to myself FOREVER.

"Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour" is back online! If you missed it last time, watch it now! It's really cool and moody and creepy! Comments include:

"Dark and foreboding. This video has the somber undertones of undeath, mixed with fluid camera angles, and striking shots of decay. Wonderfully made. Thank you kindly."

"this level was great in Left 4 Dead 2"

WHO WANTS OBAMA SLASH?!



I was snickering all through this! The song stops at the one minute mark though, no need to watch the last 45 seconds (the guy is a tad annoying).

Credit to veloxe for finding it!
