Legendary anime director, Satoshi Kon, whose works include Perfect Blue, Paprika and Paranoia Agent, died last week on the 24th of august. All I have to say is that he was a very talented man and his movies were works of art. Under the cut I will post a translation of his last words, which he wrote down and were subsequently posted posthumously by his family.
Vanilla Ice/Zangief mash up!? Why…YES PLEASE! My buddy posted this on my facebook wall and all I know is its WIN WIN! The track is by this guy MixerProuctions who has a ton of pretty dope video game mash ups… give him a lookie loo. Now if you don’t mind me I’m gunna pop on some parachute pants and 360 pile driver some bro dudes who only play as fucking Ryu.
here’s a music video to a song called ‘Blue Lips’ from Time Crisis. i really like the footage being shown in reverse and whatnot. they did a great job capturing a typical college party as well.
Here’s an electro-disco artist known as Robots With Rayguns. I must say, his new album, Electro Isn’t Dead is one of the most complete list of electro-disco songs i’ve ever heard. it’s smooth and chill, while still making you want to move your feet.
check out a few of his 80′s inspired music videos and songs below:
Sugarbaby – Robots With Rayguns
Change of Heart – Robots With Rayguns
So amazing.

Oh Nintendo. One minute I hate you, the next I love you. Right now I easily love you for this:
It appears I may have to dust off the Wii for this one. If the game is even half as good as this commercial then I will be a very happy camper.
Just Watch:
He officially wins my “Coolest Asian guy of the weekend” Award. Unless of course Joe Cool comes to the Chromeo show this Sunday. No one is cooler than Joe Cool.
What do you get when you take those annoying captcha spam blocker results and turn them into comics!? That’s right. CaptchArt.
It’s very simple. People take the ridiculous phrases they get from captchas and make them into relevant comic strips. Some are extremely creative, while others are just downright hilarious.
A few of my favorites:
A FEW MORE AFTER THE JUMP
DJ CUTMAN Sept 4th 10pm 18 and up WildFire Lounge Ithaca NY 106 South Cayuga. $5 dollar cover includes FREE DJ CUTMAN CD of your choice! DJ CUTMAN will be busting out chiptune/electro beats and breaking 8-bit hearts. I got out of bouncing at 3am the other night and didn’t finish this flyer till 9:05am ha. DJ CUTMAN asked me to draw his character walking away from a Fire Flower explosion like a complete BAD A$$… I think I nailed it.
Is anyone else intrigued with Joaquin Phoenix’s recent exploits? In late 2008 Phoenix announced his retirement from acting to pursue a rather mysterious and puzzling rapping career. There’s no doubt he’s a talented actor and he’s got a descent musical background, but rapping? I’m not so sure; I’ve seen some of his rapping and… well it’s nothing career defining.
With his recent movie coming out titled ‘I’m Still Here’ I suspect his hiatus could very well be some sort of public prank. It’s uncertain as to whether or not this movie is a drama or comedy (there are reported scenes of full frontal male nudity which lands in the realm of comedy if you ask me), but I have my suspicions of this actor turned rapper’s intentions. It’s already around the web, but the notion that this could be some sort of elaborate joke is very possible (Andy Kaufman anyone?)
Here’s the trailer
If you haven’t seen his bizarre interview with Letterman from a while back here it is
See You There <3
Now I know what you’re thinking: “A video game? I thought all you guys did was drink 4 lokos and listen to dutch house?!”
WRONG.
Now I know what you’re thinking: “A Book Review? I thought all you guys did was get drink 4 lokos and listen to dutch house?!”
Not only do we get fucked up on a daily basis but we even participate in SUMMER READING! The most recent book I had a chance to finish up was “Feed” by Mira Grant:
The book is of course a zombie book and while zombies have been the new trend lately this book is different. In fact it’s almost more of a political thriller that just so happens to have zombies. It takes place in the future (around 2040) and follows this team of 3 bloggers. What makes it so interesting and different is that humanity has already survived the zombie apocalypse. In fact humanity only survived because of the fact that bloggers were delivering real news and tips 30 years earlier when the outbreak happened while your standard corporate news were busy lying saying everything was fine. Anyway, it follows this team of bloggers that get to follow a senator as he attempts to become the President.
The book is really really good. There are a lot of twists and turns and plenty of action to keep you going. It’s also one of the more original zombie novels I’ve read in a while. If you are looking for a simple novel that has a good steady pace to it I would definitely suggest this. I can promise that by the end of it you will NOT be able to put it down.
