View Through the Memorial Cenotaph of the Peace Flame and the Peace Memorial Today marks one of the most terrible days in human history. On this day 67 years ago, an atomic bomb was used as a weapon for the first time. Estimates say 140,000 people were directly and indirectly killed by the bomb and thousands more were also killed in Nagasaki three days later. Every year I like to take a few minutes to reflect upon this tragedy and hope that we will one day have a future where the threat of nuclear weapons no longer looms above us all. ...

http://youtu.be/MZgkClKE6hQ Who would expect Norah Jones to write a murder ballad? This is probably the coldest song I’ve heard in a long time. Chilling, but hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy. (NOTE: Sorry about these VEVO vids where you’ve got to go to Youtube to watch ’em. I know it’s stupid)

LEGO Batman (Photo by DigitalSphereFilms) Smaller audience and better preparation allowed Min and I to finally see The Dark Knight Rises this weekend. Along the way we decided that we were going to become professional blackjack players*. Can’t wait to start my new career! Movies Man on the Moon - I pretty much associate this movie with Eric because I remember him renting it or going to see it in the theaters or something. Odd that this sticks out in my head, but it does. I haven’t seen enough footage of the real Andy Kaufman to know if Carrey does a good job emulating him, but it seemed not like Carrey and I dug that. Decent movie. ...

http://youtu.be/f0d5yBi3mfY Nick Offerman, Megan Mullaly, and Alison Brie getting high, showing no footage, and doing very little relevant to the movie they’re in? I’m in, guys. I’m gonna see this movie.

http://youtu.be/Hcmz74AaXHs This feature was pretty awesome last time Jimmy Kimmel did it. I’m a fan of these. Hope they keep doing them.

No tickets available for today I was supposed to see The Dark Knight Rises with Min. We were pretty excited about it too, but I was a real dummy and I didn’t get tickets days in advance. Whoops. Maybe this week. MoviesThe Dark Knight Rises TV Breaking Bad - This show came back this week, but I’m still in season 2. All of the praise being heaped upon it reminded me that I should be watching, so I’ve started pushing through again. ...

http://youtu.be/6o6VOBZRWPc Some neat little tidbits I hadn’t seen or thought about before. Didn’t know that the Zelda timeline includes one where Link lost. Pretty crazy. Did You Know Gaming? has also made a video about Pokemon that’s pretty cool too: http://youtu.be/4HsxuGMWnXM

http://youtu.be/OuO-s1kugLs Reverse Enginears has produced yet another montage of games history, this time focused on PC games. You may have seen the console/arcade game one they did a while back (embedded below), but if you haven’t these are both fantastic. http://youtu.be/HcMm6TJoYL0

http://youtu.be/krLNvmYF7lM Holy cow, is there another studio out there even approaching the natural and real-seeming performances that Naughty Dog is putting out? This looks fantastic.
