So for those of you who have any fondness of Magical Girl series, you might want to look at Sailor Nothing. Noted by TVTropes as "the exact opposite of Sailor Moon on the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism", though after reading it, I disagree...

siliconrose chided me for not posting stuff that is cool. I argued that I never start trends anyway, but... well, I promised I'd try.

So then.

If you have played video games, and I mean ever -- but especially in the Atari-Nintendo years -- you should watch The Angry Video Game Nerd. Underneath the ludicrously profane and blasphemous screen persona, adopted for the purpose of reviewing truly awful games, there's a serious level of geekery and a fondness for moviemaking that makes the videos all the more enjoyable. Ludicrously NSFW.

Everyone, however, should know 8 Bit D&D.

Get to watching.

This in itself is awesome:

But part two is the most awesome thing EVER.

(And hey, I have all my LJ icons back!)

I just read a research paper on the Ultima Online economy and, despite having never played the game, found it useful and informative.

This is going on my geek-cred resume.

A Random Encounter

Cannot... stop... laughing....

Eeeeee hee hee hee hee.

Not only is this a hilarious song on its own, but the video makes it even better:

Ignorance is Blissl

Matrix Ping Pong

Sniiicker...

Ah ha!

Useful information, and...

Second-Order Idiot Plot. That's what the Sword of Truth Novels have become!

Funniest thing EVER!

If you like that link, you're an awful human being. Really, really, really awful. (And there's a lot of us.)

One more widely appreciable:

Magical Trevor

It's sad because it's true

This sums up my feelings on the Aeris/Aerith debate pretty well.

So, I now have DSL. So point me in the direction of cool things to download.
