zombie fire ants
Yes, you read that correctly. There are zombie fire ants. And here I thought Umbrella corporation had finally been defeated. But according to the news, a certain type of fly has been introduced to control the fire ant population in Texas. They lay eggs on the ants, then when the egg hatches it burrows its way (ewwww) into the ant and slowly eats it’s brain. Which I suppose is an ironic fate for a zombie.
Rock Band? Yuto rips “Freebird”
We are gearing up for another GAUGE. This time of the mini-variety. Which means it’s time for me to practice up on my Rock Band skills. Admittedly out of the three of us, my skills are the weakest. However, I believe we’ve all been put to shame by 8 year old Yuto. I am rightfully put in my place.
Windows: reloaded
This is one of the funniest parodies I’ve ever seen. As a wise man once said, “it’s funny ’cause it’s true.”
Classic Gaming
There’s two things I love – video games and good deals. That’s why I am very excited about a new site called GOG.com.
GOG.com has taken it upon itself to update classic games (think 1990’s) to make them DRM free and Windows XP/Vista compatible. Right now they have a limited selection of titles. With most games costing $5.99. Which frankly is a steal. Or as they say, “for less than the cost of a lunch at some lousy diner you can own some of the greatest games of all time.”
Now I haven’t bought any games from this service. I don’t know if their customer service is awful, or if something fishy is going on. But I am encouraged by this. I’ve long thought game companies should distribute old games for cheap prices.
I also notice that they have a pretty limited selection of games. But the games they do have are all worth playing. Here’s hoping Gog.com is everything it’s supposed to be!
Oh Homer Simpson would be proud…
Here I was, all set to write about something serious. But I can’t. This is way more important. This is bigger than the economy. It’s bigger than the election. It’s bigger than the World Series. (Not as big as the Steelers). What is it you ask?
It’s a bacon Tuxedo!
