What I've Been Doing 22 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

The Limited Edition (read: first printing) comes with so much cool stuff! (Photo by SwatWolf) SMT IV is pretty good, you guys. It’s hard as hell, but it’s funny about it. Movies Not this week. TV The Bridge - I’m really tired of the “woman with mental disorder” (or man) trope in tv right now. I’d be more interested in Sonya if she wasn’t on the spectrum. Marco is way more interesting to me. ...

What I've Been Doing 15 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Giant mechs and giant monsters. I’m all in. (Photo courtesy Domenico) You know how the saying goes, right? When the cat’s away, go see a kaiju homage movie. It was silly stupid fun and it was awesome. Movies Tokyo Godfathers - Min and I were looking for something to watch during dinner and I finally convinced him to check out Satoshi Kon’s fairy tale/holiday story. I love how happy this movie is and ends. Very few mind games for a Satoshi Kon flick too. ...

50 Science Misconceptions [ER]

http://youtu.be/LqaDf2fuUH8 I recently had an argument with someone about water draining from a tub/toilet. The scale’s too small. Enjoy the video and the learning that comes with it.

What I've Been Doing 8 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

It’s my first time experiencing a Shakespearian comedy (Picture courtesy Pinay New Yorker) Sure, it’s not like watching live theater for real or anything, but this was my first tie experiencing one of Shakespeare’s comedies (not counting liberal adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You) and I absolutely loved it. More below. Movies This is the End - I wish I could say that I had more fun watching this movie, but it just wasn’t all that funny. Then there’s the fact that I’ll be forever embarrassed by jumping and shouting “AH!” during a jump scare. ...

What I've Been Doing 24 June 2013 AND 1 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

This has nothing to do with what I did this past couple of weeks, but I love this tea. Actually, I did drink a lot of it over the past few weeks… Whoa, whoops! I forgot to get this up on time! I forgot to even post this yesterday! Been too busy, but we’re back now! ...

What I've Been Doing 17 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Was there a Franklin gag that I just missed? (Picture by Tom Trager) I went to three baseball games this week, one graduation party, and one father’s day dinner. There wasn’t much time for anything, but I still got some gaming in. Movies Nope. TV Arrested Development - Partway through S4 I realized that this season was just a giant puzzle box meant to be deciphered as you went along. Either you like to do that or you don’t. Either you like the season or you don’t. Also, I’m not the only one who thinks Arrested Development is like One Hundred Years of Solitude! ...

What I've Been Doing 10 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Everyone else gets the coolest neighbors. I’m stuck with Bubbles and Opal…(Photo by Abriael) It was a pretty busy last week and this one promises to be just as action-packed. Movies None! TV Arrested Development - I like to think of S4 as a giant puzzle box that’s slowly unraveling, revealing its secrets to us. There have been some solid laughs in the second half of the season and I’m enjoying the show rather thoroughly. Just finished the Maeby episode, so we’re down to the home stretch. One of my favorite things about the show is the way that the family continually makes the same mistakes because they’re all composed of self-centered fools. It’s like a comedy One Hundred Years of Solitude! ...

Plants vs. Zombies 2 Announcement Trailer [GO/ER]

http://youtu.be/gbcBYs0ljI0 Wow, EA’s money is apparently being put to use to make crazy CG cutscenes. The new plants seem neat, so I dunno, I can’t wait to see what’s up with PvZ 2.

What I've Been Doing 3 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Katie was out of town, so I spent most of the weekend mainlining Dead Space 3 with David and not seeing these weird soldiers because, I dunno, video games! (Photo by GameXpect) The funny thing about this list is that it was mostly generated over the weekend when Katie was out of town. The rest of week I spent watching the second best baseball game I’ve ever seen and hanging out with her and Kara. ...

Edgar Wright's "The World's End" Trailer! [ER/FB]

http://youtu.be/QvPfV2v9GuU So it doesn’t look like too much of a stretch from Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead, really, but it sure looks fun, no? Anyway, it’s the final piece of the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy (you learn something new every day), so…yay!
