Week Links: The Requiem

That's right. This will be my final Week Links. If you haven't been keeping up, I've been doing a Week Links about every two months. So I have decided to change my link dump model. This does not mean I will stop sharing the interesting and fun things on the internet. No, no, no. I do not go so quietly into the night. I think the new model will make this blog look more active.

A new PC is cheaper than a new Mac and, if you're doing it right, comes with all these bells and whistles that Maximum PC finds essential.

Since I don't have the expendable income to buy a fancy camera, I guess I will have to settle for a crap camera and these professional Photoshop effects.

If you have visited my blog before, most likely you are wasting time. Waste your time better off of my blog with a timewaster this musical toy. Just start clicking and dragging.

Here's a funny picture I StumbledUpon of great philosophers.


From personal experience, I can say that this pie chart works to some degree. From thedoghousediaries.com
I don't know where this originally came from but, according to this chart, I am somewhere between "Friend" and "Dating Zone," you do the math. LOL Null Set.Not to worry, XKCD always has some reaffirmation. I just like that last quote at the end.

I'm just glad I'm not like this guy from an article on TheOnion.com.

And now for the YouTube segment. Don't worry there's only 4 amazing clips.

This song has started my day for the past 2 weeks. It's upbeat, catchy, comes with it's own dance, and has a cute Japanese girl singing straight into the camera the whole time. What's not to like?


Here is the secret to Manny Pacquiao's success in the ring. Don't be afraid to laugh.


Don't like Asians? Neither does this guy.


My friend John showed me this video. It's the literal version of the "Total Eclipse of the Heart" video by Bonnie Tyler. Hilarity ensues.


I hope you have engorged yourself on Internet crud from my last Week Links. I tried to cram as much in here as possible. Be sure to check out my blog more often, or follow me on Twitter, where things will hopefully start to pick up. Enjoy.

Week Links: Non-Valentine's Edition

It's that time of the week again.

These ones are coming at ya, and have nothing to do with love...I think.

First thing, eff planet earth.

If that was too many words for you, then this Wallace and Grommit clip has no really talking at all. In fact the sound effects have been" enhanced."

I bet you thought this was going to another all video Week Links. Well you're only 4/5s right.I like art and video games too. And hybrids of the two every time.

And for more video whoring. This music video is pretty awesome. The music all sorts of mellow.

Speaking of whoring. Ends up I was wrong, I do have one relationship video on here. It's from this website called videojug.com that just has all these video guides on random stuff from cooking to kissing.

If you know me at all. I'm probably your "friend." Whether or not I meant to be, it's a blessing and a curse. Mainly curse, cause I'm not one to take advantage of people. Anyways, here is their tips on getting of what they call Frienditis.

I'll maybe post later again this week. This weekend, I actually had some fun...at a club. WHAT?!

More on that later, and you know it's gonna be in my cryptic speak so no one is really gonna understand anything of what's going on.

Look for it.

Exit faux euphoria. Enter Slap-In-The-Face cynicism.

Week Links: To hold you over.

I really am planning a nice year in review blog post. In the meanwhile, my links buffer is ready to be dumped so here we go again!

This makes me wish I took a cooler English course than the one at Austin Community College. I stole that link from my former roommate's blog.

And I'm taking this next one from my friend in the Dallas area.



Just replace lawyer, with programmer.

Here are some old school Guess Who? hax. I used to love at damn game. Never gets old.

I recently bought Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix for PSN (Johnny1156, look me up), and my twitter led me to some phat SF2 beatz.

Did you know the Philippines has recently made their first fully digitally animated film. It's called Dayo. I need some fansubbers on this ASAP.

Lasty, I'll leave you with some XKCD.


Heh, all too real.

Year Links

Hmm my 1 year blog-a-vesary is coming up. Maybe I'll post a retrospective of 2008 some time. Seems proper. For now I have some over due links for you all. All you random international people who come to my website. I hope to go visit all of your countries some day. And on to the links.

If you're feeling down, watch this guy...and feel even more down that you don't have one of your own.

If that wasn't enough. DUCK!

After 3 semesters of Japanese at UT. I can actually understand this pretty fluently. Albeit it's probably written by American people.

You say you like techno? You say you like Anime? You say you don't know what is an AMV? Well Wikipedia it I'm not gonna explain. But I will (Epilepsy Warning) exemplify. Does AMV even have a Wiki? ...hrm oh well.

All that video watching make you thirsty? Well, too bad. It's not your decision whether or not this purple something is gonna go down your throat.

lol.

Week Links: Sambakza version.

I can't stress this enough. If you're reading this post.

WATCH THESE ANIMATIONS

Sambakza is a team of flash animators (I believe they also do web-comics), based in Korea, that to me are some of the best story tellers and animators using Flash in the world. They are Korean, so these music video are going to have Korean music but the message is there no matter what language you speak. It is a 5 part story, and gets better with every iteration. Just click "Watch this Movie" on all of the links.

There she is!!!

There she is!! Step 2

There she is!! Step 3

There she is!! Step 4

There she is!! Final Step

SO GOOOOD!

Week Links: Outdated version

This week seemed to go on forever...

Alica Keys is still hot.

I'm still a geek and still like anime.

If I haven't shown this to you yet, you need a punch in the face.

It's the small things in life that make you feel like the world is a good place.

This last one, just watch it it's great.

Week Links: Pre-Finals edition.

No this wasn't the good cop-out I was talking about before. Unfortunately, my link list is not accumulating as much as I thought it would be doing. I am just going with what I got. It's the beginning of finals week for me so...that's a week to post.

Ever play that game Paperboy? Have you ever wanted to play Paperboy with the real Paperboy?

Baby + Asian + The Beatles = this.

Watch this flash movie, and feel artsy and better for it. It one of those movies that made me feel those...things...that the brain sends, but we say it come from the heart....Emotion! That's the word.

If you thought the Facebook typing application was addicting. This one is actually fun.

If you haven't noticed yet, my blog posts are aimed to my hobbies, likes, and dislikes. If you haven't noticed that those have been following a trend, then stop stalking me and read someone else's blog. Otherwise, try and categorize me and/or yourself.

My blog is getting more and more structured, and I found out how to mobile blog. (Which as it ends up is 100x smaller blogging, but at least 10x more fun doing it.) This place is looking up.

Week Links 3: Commercial Edition

I know it's Monday...night.

I don't care. So I'm a day or two late, I'm new.

This is gonna be stuff I wanna get.

Here's some hip-hop video game wear.

If I was hipster, I definitely get this Pikachu fitted hat. Some Neon Tetris kicks wouldn't be so bad while I'm at it.

Unfortunately.

John != Hip;

Why? That last statement is pretty much self explanatory. However, I don't own nearly enough witty T-shirts. Which is why I want the shirt with the love math.

This last thing is the one I'm most likely actually going to buy.

It's a fun card game called Munchkin. I'm debating which kind to get, I think Munchkin Fu is going to be the deck of choice.

Have a nice we...rest of the week.

Week Links 2

This week:

was going to suck...was sucking during...and in retrospect, sucked.

(My vocabulary has reduced to that of a 7th grader. At least I'm not calling everything gay.)

This has managed to hold my attention once every three days this week. I wonder how much rubbing alcohol that took.

I'm taking this one from a "cyberspace" class I'm taking. It's pictures! I suggest staring at them in a Starbucks, with your laptop screen facing the entrance or order line so people can get a nice view and will think you're upper crusty.

Two links for the week?

That's gay...






Ah shit.

Week Links

Haha...get it?

I've never had real mochi before...I want to try some now.

It's all about the slow-mo at the end.

Because the first 4 games were just so good.

Boxhead: Zombie Wars

Come join UT FSA...we can dance.

I'm awake.

And when I'm up awake late enough, I get to contemplating.



I get sad and reminiscent often.
