Toy Train Tycoon

Here I am letting you know all about the progress of the model/electric train diorama, that will hopefully sometime evolve into the official coffee table of the non-virtual, strictly analog and rather comfy version of Inverted Paradox. Well, progress has been made. The wooden basis of the thing has already arrived, the table’s frame has been designed and ordered, a ton of miscellaneous stuff has been bought, ideas have been discussed and -finally- its actual construction has began.

Say hi, through almost seven Space Quest games (well, six actually), out of which only five (almost six) used roman numerals in their titles. Meet him here and have a drink in adventure-o-vision, while reading through this particularly short retrospective.

Online Piracy PSA Parody

You ever see those PSA’s mainly at movie theaters where they ask if you would steal a car or rob someone at gunpoint and then they say if you pirate video or music it is the same thing? Yeah, those videos suck as much as the smoking Truth PSA’s. Here is a parody video based on the Piracy PSA’s that is pretty funny.

Ghetto Leprechaun

This is a news story for a few years ago. Just before St. Patrick’s day in Mobile, Alabama residents reported seeing a leprechaun in a tree. What resulted was a pretty funny news report with accounts from residents on the leprechaun and what they would do if they caught him.

The PFI Tripe Awards: Volume 1

The infamous love triangle in Pearl Harbor featured three idiotic characters SO UNLIKABLE that you WANTED the JAPANESE to BOMB THEM. NOBODY liked the love triangle. RAINBOWS AND BUTTERFLIES HATED IT. To make matters worse, the movie was over 2.5 hours, AND THE ROMANTIC TRIPE TOOK UP 3/4ths OF THE MOVIE. To give credit where credit is due, the actual attack sequence is one of the most amazing scenes ever filmed, which is why it PAINS me to give this movie the waste management award.

Eriq Chang Art

Stunningly beautiful pictures, aren't they? Well, better thank Eriq Chang for being brilliantly creative in all sorts of ways and -of course- for being generous enough to let us glimpse both his studio and the creative process taking place there. And in case you hadn't noticed, you are indeed looking at King's Quest III – Redux art and the game's official poster. To actually grab said poster better have a look here.

F-Zero Grand Prix 2

As F-Zero fans will already be well aware, the first game consisted of fifteen courses divided into three leagues – Knight, Queen, and King. F-Zero 2 features a new league – the Ace League – which features five new courses. Some are based on courses from the first game (such as Mute City IV, Big Blue II, Silence II) but with new course layouts, whilst the other two (Sand Storm I & II) are seemingly based on the Sand Ocean stage from the first game, thematically, but are completely new.

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle on Smallville

I personally like what they did with the Booster Gold costume. I understand people hate the “biker jacket” costume style, but I guess they really rather go that route than something like spandex or tight leather. Blue Beetles costume on the other hand has a mix of cool and cheese looking. In the clip below it looks pretty good, but in some of the pictures, not so much so.

So You Want to Move to Miami

Let me start by saying I am from Miami and I found this hilarious. This video is pretty much a conversation between someone who wants to move to Miami and a travel agent trying to convince her not too. The video hits on a lot of stereotypes people make about Miami, but the truth is a lot of them are true. Either way it is funny if you can take a joke and if not well don’t chick anything on this site.
