Back In My Day…

I don’t mean to bash the homosexual population with this. I’m really just running with the idea that once upon a time vampires (even when sexual) were scary.

(Actually I guess if you are a homophobe the new vampires might be even scarier….)

The Oregon Trail Official Trailer

Wow. Talk about bringing back memories from my childhood. Anyone who grew up during the 80′s will have fond memories of The Oregon Trail either as a game they loved to play or were forced to play in gradeschool. Learning from video games now done in movie form!

OK This isn’t real but what an amazingly fun concept!

In 1864, a family embarks on an impossible journey into the untamed American West. Based on the classic educational computer game, The Oregon Trail by MECC.

(Site note: You can play the original Oregon Trail here.)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Internet Needs

On days when I am slow on being productive online this chart clearly must explain away why that is. I sit on cat pictures for 4 hours at a time. Yes. Cat pictures. DAMN YOU LOL CATS!!

While I am a fan of Google (Specially over Apple and Microsoft’s sorry excuses for anything to merge television and the web) this still made me laugh.

How To Tell Jesus from Monsters

(As usual click the image for a larger version)

A lot of people have problems with the undead. There are so many ways people have been brought back to life that it can be difficult to figure out how they overlap so someone (and I really wish I knew who) came up with this great little venn diagram to let us know how to tell apart: Dracula, Frankenstein, Zombies, and Jesus on how they came back to life.

Heh.

An Assortment Of Underachieving At-Ats

I don’t know why but for some reason: maybe it’s the title, maybe it’s the images… all I can do is picture a bunch of AT-AT’s running around to the Benny Hill show theme music. Could be I’ve finally lost it and in my search for humor to not snap while working in a Help Desk that I actually have lost what little was left of my mind. All I know is that today has been an extremely long day and it’s not even 1 yet. Complaining aside I figured Star Wars fans would get a kick out of this one.

Tablets Are The Future OR How You WILL Break Your iPad

Well that’s what we always seem to hear as of late by the digital media. With this being the case you absolutely know there will be a ton of fun ways for them to be both hacked and broken. This flowchart is a great reason though to explain WHY they will break.

But wait.. there’s more!

Jon Steward Chimes In On Apple Having The Police Harass A Gizmodo Editor

Yes Apple had the police harass a Gizmodo editor. For those who don’t know about it, Gizmodo broke the story (and the law) by purchasing a lost prototype of the next iPhone. After multiple attempts by the person who found the phone they sold it to Gizmodo for $5,000. Who promptly also tried to return it. When Apple said it wasn’t a prototype they leaked the hell out of the specs that they found on the device. Out of the blue Apple wanted it back – by means of legal threat. What did Gizmodo do? What they originally offered to do of course, they gave it back.

Sounds like a great end to the story? How about following it up with the Gizmodo editor in charge of this having police break down his front door and confiscate all of his computer equipment. Not only did they do that but while taking his equipment they were shown that it was ILLEGAL for them to do so, ignored that, and still took it. Oh did we mention that the person who sold it to Gizmodo was contacted multiple times by Apple at this point? How much do you want to bet the person who lost it was replaced by an iRobot and is actually chained up being tortured in the Apple HQ Dungeon (basement.) Really Jon Stewart said it best so I suggest watching his little video above.

Do I really have any reason to bash on Apple? Now I own an iPod or two.. or three but have not bought anything else they have out (nor do I plan too.) As a company I’m torn. They have some great products out there but I just dislike the MacOS. It’s a feeling that will never change and when I can find so much great humor in one day while I’m stuck at work what else should I be doing but posting it? So for the mac lovers who read this site.. I just couldn’t help myself. (Really how can you disagree with Jon Stewart at his best anyway?)

Communication Problems

Sometimes my girlfriend (I’m glad she has a sense of humor or I’d be afraid to type this) tells me I need to communicate more. I get it. I can be quiet in ‘the real world’ as I’m often distracted or have too much internal thinking going on… that and I’m just quiet. Hell I’m also too used to not sharing what’s on my mind.

While that is something I’m working on there are times though she tells me I shouldn’t repeat what I just said in public – EVER (even though I get a laugh or two out of her with it.)

This comic is a complete representation of that last part.

Seriously Look At His Facial Expression

2 Posts in a day? Couldn’t be helped!

It’s absolutely amazing how a single inserted flashback scene can make this entire memorable Star Wars scene both 20x more disturbing and humorous. I mean just look at his facial expression right before AND after the flashback. Hilarious.

…and received a PH.D. In Horriblness!

(If you follow my site you know the drill – Click on the image to see it full sized.)

I was having my usual morning conversation with Byron of I Draw Zombies, Top Horror Comics, and of course artist for my company iScream Productions and it’s various projects. (Holy gratuitous links batman!)

In today’s conversation I mentioned I should really pickup some practice on doing Photoshop touch ups (mainly for personal use) so I could take things like Dr. Horrible‘s diploma and make one for myself. So what happens before he goes to tie up his son? (Seriously his words not mine. Really though does anyone who know me question this?) I get this fun little diploma in my “Box of IN” with my name, today’s date, and location. Win. Thanks Byron!

Now I can be like so many others who buy their diplomas online at fake universities to attempt and use them to get ahead in the world (….or in this case world domination!)

….I believe the lack of sleep has finally caught up to me.
