Joining a Fan Club!
Two of my favorite bands – Jellyfish, with their song ‘Joining a Fan Club’, and the cover by Japanese pop-rock duo Puffy (or Puffy Amiyumi, if you prefer).
Sometimes Memory Lane is an alley best avoided: Pink Lady and Jeff
Gaze upon the horror that is Pink Lady, a short-lived variety program that aired in 1980 starring Japanese singing duo Pink Lady (hence the title) and co-host (and occasional translator) Jeff Altman. Pink Lady are entertaining in a post-70’s kitschy sort of way, but Altman’s jokes are about as entertaining as a colostomy bag souffle.
“…it turns out the Japanese are CRAZY.”
Eugene Lin’s hilarious Ignite speech, about the creation of his softcore porn iPhone app peekaboo. Seriously, this is worth 5 minutes of your life. Not so sure about the app.

The Peanuts sing ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’
I’ve blogged about The Peanuts before, but here’s another gem – it’s the Mothra twins belting out the swing classic Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Fantastic!
Songs about Kaiju
This is one of those posts that emerges from noodling around on YouTube when I should be working. I watched the awesome rock-doc ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL at a friend’s house over Christmas (do check it it out if you get a chance – it’s amazing…) and have been adding Anvil videos to my [...]
Vienna Teng – ‘The Atheist Christmas Carol’
Hey – don’t forget…we atheists like Christmas too! (If you need reasons, here are some of mine: time off work, lots of great food, getting presents, giving presents, seeing lots of friends and family, watching my kids open gifts on Christmas morning, etc.)
Here’s the lovely and talented Vienna Teng with ‘The Atheist Christmas Carol’.
Giant Bomb looks at ‘Jackie Chan’s Fist of Fire’
I love Giant Bomb – it reminds me of when Gamespot didn’t totally suck donkey-cock. Of course, that was back when Jeff Gerstmann and company were still there – since then, Gerstmann and a handful of his game-journo cohorts have crafted a pretty swell game site of their own (the aforementioned Giant Bomb) and spend [...]
Hellgate moves to Tokyo
Disclaimer: I never played Hellgate: London, so I have no idea whether it was gaming bliss or poo. (For the record, Metacritic declares that it borders on poo…). Whatever the quality of the game itself, it’s unfortunate that the publisher pulled the plug on it so quickly…but fans of HG:L take heart! A new Hellgate [...]
Rock Band Yoko Ono
My loathing of Yoko Ono is a matter of public record, so let me cement it further with this clip: Rock Band Yoko Ono.

‘Cup of Tears’ – Samurai action for the ‘300′ crowd
Gratuitous use of CGI + samurai = awesome, in my book. Not sure if the story holds together, but who farking cares. This looks amazing.

Off-Topic Post of the Day: CCP wants you to Harden the Fuck Up
Over the last few Gen Con game conventions, Assistant Ed Mazinga and myself have had a handful of opportunities to chat with the fine folk at CCP / White Wolf Games and they’re a pretty righteous bunch. At this year’s con Mazinga interviewed CCP’s Ned Coker, and their infamous Club Succubus parties are always worth [...]
Bobby Lee’s Super Sweet 30th
I don’t have a lot of reasons to mourn the passing of Mad TV, but one of the few is that I can’t see Bobby Lee make an ass of himself every Saturday night. Check out this clip – Bobby’s parents rule. His dad is one tough man.
Metal Gear Solid Fan Film – MGS: Philanthropy
You know, this is actually not total shit. Seriously. Okay – it’s kinda shit. But, it’s pretty polished shit. It even leans towards watchable at times.
