A Project That Uses a Markov Chain Process to Create Surreal ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ Remixes

I made another Deus Ex poster.

I love that trailer too damn much

Priorities.

Bradbury

Bradbury goes up to the counter and orders a grande coffee black. He drinks it too quickly. “Be careful, sir!” the barista warns. “It was a pleasure to burn,” replies Bradbury. “Oh,” says the barista. “You’re talking about censorship!” Bradbury is furious about being misinterpreted and storms out of the Starbucks, leaving his drink on the counter.

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?

AAAAAHHHHHH

I return from my i-lost-my-two-factor hiatus to deliver this.

If we think of the douchebag as a social identity as much as an accusation, as a subject with a distinctive persona locatable within the categories of race, class, gender and sexuality, then we find that the term carries a remarkably precise definition.   The douchebag is someone — overwhelmingly white, rich, heterosexual males — who insist upon, nay, demand their white male privilege in every possible set and setting.   The douchebag is always a white guy. But he is more than that. The douchebag is the demanding 1%, and the far more numerically significant class of white, heterosexist men who ape and aspire to be them. Wall Street guys are douchebags to be sure, but so is anyone looking to cash in on his white male privilege.   This narrowness of categorization — perhaps unique in the history of America’s rich history of racial and sexual slurs — is what makes the word douchebag such a potentially useful political tool.

This is a great, interesting, insightful, long read.

The Basement Jaxx video for “Never Say Never” shows a scientist hacking away on code to build a perfect twerking robotic ass.  He has been told his partner won’t have sex with him until the project is finished.  Naturally, he opens up the code in JaxxTerminal, and it’s a bash example script culled from the bash infopages.

Weird, but SilencerCo makes a damn sexy product.

Too bad they can’t do the same for ESO… 

Thank goodness for modders.  Though I do with that video games would focus on just giving us decent female armor from word go so that modder’s might focus on other equally noble pursuits.

Ah, I missed this segment live! I want to listen to it, Levine is a genius.

From NPR’s All Things Considered: Modern Video Games Go Beyond ‘Jumping On Blocks’

Ken Levine, the creative director for the BioShock series, tells NPR’s Arun Rath that after BioShock Infinite came out, people used it as a launching point to talk about the changing nature of games. He says he was often asked whether they could have made a game that told the same story but without the violence. In retrospect, he says, it’s an interesting question. But that was just the type of game he knew how to make at the time.

"I wouldn’t have known how to make a game like Mario," he says. "I wouldn’t have known how to take this kind of story and turn it into a game about jumping on blocks."
