If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related. You may put on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana, but be [...]

An E! Online news story from early 2009 reports a bizarre lawsuit (which has since been settled out of court): Bier, otherwise known as Madonna Wayne Gacy, sued [Marilyn] Manson for more than $20 million last year, claiming Manson siphoned off millions of dollars in band revenue. The funds allegedly paid for drugs, assorted Nazi [...]

Diablo II is getting tough. Any possibility of addiction is not coming true. The shoutbox breaks the Cynthia Says compliance, so this page is no longer compliant with those standards and the button has been removed. The tapes are all backed up. They rock.

Haven’t had any new posts in almost a week. Here is what’s going on in my life: 1. Started going to Bingo at my local church two weeks ago. Last week I won 3 games. 2. Went to a Tea Party march yesterday. I was surprised how many people honked and cheered for us on [...]

There were actually 3 parts to the review I posted yesterday, I only put up Part 2. Here are all 3. Apparently Warner fucks are roughing up minors again, so #3 might get “muted” in its entirety for a Whitesnake clip in the credits (it is muted on other usernames). (Click here for the previous [...]

In 1990, a game was released for the Sega Genesis called “Action 52″, a series of 52 arcade games which were priced as “52 games at a discount” rather than the price of a single cartridge. The game consisted of simple arcade-style jump-and-shoot games with goofy graphics. Not a bad idea, but definitely not worth [...]

Some commenters have been asking whether or not the site can be quoted or reproduced. I have been putting off deciding this – I will not use the popular Creative Commons licenses because later versions include a sneak GPL-style provision allowing relicensing under “compatible licenses” approved by Creative Commons (the organization) as “in the spirit” [...]

I have added two freeware games to the Download Library section above, ScopaFree (an implementation of the Italian card game Scopa) and TrackWords (a Boggle-style game). The developer’s home page was hosted on Geocities and the files were hosted on Winsite, both of which have shut down. Go to the “Download Library” tab above and [...]

At the suggestion of Computing Minimalists, I’ve been getting used to using the keyboard instead of the mouse in most cases. I was always a Vim person, and started using Vimperator today, and have been using MouseKeys (PDF link) and Windows XP’s shortcuts for a week or two. As you get used to using the [...]
