I need to get the hang of writing postsbeforehand andscheduling them for later release so they don’t all tumble out at once and then the site goes dead for awhile until I’m able to update again. I have a lot of great links. I’m thinking these linking posts are getting boring. Does anyone who reads the blog find any of the stories I put up here interesting? Would a themed post be better, or should I simply eliminate them?
Ok, let the random linking begin!
I’m a sucker for video games and pixel art and this post combines both so it showing up here was almost guaranteed. Darkstalkers was one of numerous SF2 clones that Capcom made, the games only claim to fame was basing all the fighters on horror staples like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, etc…
Follow this link to see the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode on video game violence. Penn and Teller are libertarians and I don’t agree with some of the things they say but it is always interesting.
It appears this post already has a theme: video games, and this next link fits in with it as well. Microsoft is rebooting the Mechwarrior franchise and part of the marketing campaign they’ll be releasing Mechwarrior 4 and its expansions, for free, to begin promoting.
I was going to post a link to the story of the US soldier who doesn’t think President Obama is a citizen of the United States of America and so doesn’t have to take orders from him, but these “birthers” are getting way too much attention form the media which only legitimizes they’re special brand of insane, so I won’t be linking to it and no one else should either. They people should be shunned and humiliated not giving the spotlight.
A short interesting piece on climate warming and the arguments made against the United States enacting any law or provision that might reduce the use of fuels that contribute to it. The gist of it is if the USA is worried about other countries not following in our footsteps by simply refusing to provide funding for dirty power plants. Obviously this issue is more complicated than that but the post is a good jumping off point.
There are too many myths about the Star Spangled Banner (which are in good company with the scores of other myths and distortions about the birth of the United States) all of which are busted by Ed Darrell from Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub.
Mediums get busted on this BBC show, I don’t know anything about it I just found the “mediums” so bad and transparant, and the dupe so funny.
Again, let me know if this is part of the blog you’d like to see continue or if you don’t bother reading them.
de mortuis nil nisi bonum!
The amazing thing is that I can actually translate that without reference to any book!
