peepshow_donnie01-web The Peepshow (not the NV one, but a different traveling troupe) was in Harrisburg this weekend and Tiffany and I were super thankful to have something to do around York. Seriously, guys. It’s kind of boring up there. Knife throwing, sword swallowing, nail pounding, and, naturally, burlesque dancing were on the menu. It was lots of fun. I think it was their last show of the summer, but if you see that they’re coming to a venue near you, definitely check it out. ...

http://youtu.be/ASRpIym_jFM I never thought about the speed of light equation (E = mc^2) as fundamentally stating that objects with mass cannot travel at c and objects without mass cannot travel at < c, but it really does make sense. Very cool video.

http://youtu.be/xiC__IjCa2s Hey…stop what you’re doing and watch this. It’s the coolest thing I’ve seen today. Great riffs.

Spelunky finally arrived last week and it was GLORIOUS! So good, as a matter of fact, that I managed to rack up 21 hours in it while taking a day off to go to Pennsylvania to celebrate the 4th. Spelunky is razor sharp, guys. Razor sharp. Movies 21 Jump Street - I can’t think of another trailer in recent history that has inspired more ambivalence upon the people I know, but I was secretly amused by it. It turns out that it’s because it’s an amusing movie. It’s not as funny as The Other Guys, but it’s got a similar vibe. Plus it’s got almost every comedic actor working today in bit parts all over. It’s funny, but I wouldn’t spend more than $5 to see it. Oh, also, Dave Franco is like a little James Franco clone. It’s so weird! ...

http://youtu.be/03_QuztDdqg The terribly, unfortunately named Theathrhythm Final Fantasy came out today. Brad and Jeff are here to tell you about it. Oh man, guys…I want to replace my 3DS now. This looks ridiculous and awesome.

http://youtu.be/gJlPun8LQss The Giant Bomb crew check out Spelunky! Will they die a million times? No doubt! Will they rob a shopkeeper without realizing how dangerous it is? I hope so. This is gonna be so great! EDIT: When Jeff, Brad, and Patrick start multiplayer at ~31 minutes in…I was dying of laughter. Love how much of an asshole Jeff is and how awesome this game seems.

http://youtu.be/bTPNAF2wsiA At first I thought this would be mildly funny and enjoyable. I upgraded it to cool when I saw the Gregory Brothers. It’s a decent way to spend 4 mins.

As you may have figured out from the picture, weekends with Tiffany are a little different for my media experience. I like to think of it as a way to broaden my tastes and attitudes, but it’s also kind of tough to deal with some of these shows without laughing at how terrible they are. Movies Snow White and the Huntsman - Speaking of stuff I wouldn’t normally go to see…Look, this movie isn’t terrible, per se, it’s just…overlong. Like really long. It’s technically only 127 minutes, but it’s a long 127 minutes of watching K-Stew kind of pull it off. At least Chris Hemsworth has plenty of charisma. There were lots of lingering shots or just plain odd directorial choices, but I’m glad they trimmed it to what it was already. Also kind of weird that all of the dwarves were played by non-dwarves digitally put onto dwarven bodies. At least that allowed us to get Nick Frost smarming about, but I bet the dwarven union wasn’t happy. ...
