WTF WEDNESDAY PRESENTS

WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 7/23-7/29/12! POKEMON DRESS-UP WEEK!
WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS
POKEMON DRESS-UP WEEK!
I am still coming down from the Legend of Zelda overload that was Skyward Sword Week and I just got caught up on Futurama. No side-effects, honestly.
I really think that dress-up/perform mini-game in Pokemon Black & White was pretty insulting to the intelligence of every pokemon player ever and probably embarrassing to everyone involved.
Sometimes, I just have to admit that I am going to go blind from staring at a computer screen...could be worse.
Until I see a new season of Venture Bros., my favorite show on TV is China, IL. Check it out on Adultswim.
How much Game Grumps am I watching? I am listening to them play Mega Man 7 as I type this out, because their voices simulate company...what? I refer you to #5 above.
Also, they inspired me to toss my old copy of Goof Troop into my SNES and, now that I've grown up (I was video game-challenged as a child, basically, "This is hard. I'm gonna go read a book about magical objects and a chosen one or something. Pfft." )
" I've been watching the, Tabletop, hosted by Wil Wheaton, since its inception a few months ago. Every episodes begins with me being curious about the games they will play and ends with me wanting to buy/play said games as soon as possible. The show's presentation mixed with my love affair with board games and role-playing make it the perfect hobby program for a nerd like me."
And that lead to our first game of Fiasco, which I'm talking about in Table Top Tales this week! I gave it the name "Dirty Politics" because of the themes of dirty business and a prospective mayor.
WORD OF THE DAY! 7/31/12.
adjective
1. Of or pertaining to Sisyphus.
2. A difficult, arduous, or impossible task.
EX. Just curious if out of the, potentially, dozen or so people who stumble across my blog every day, how many of you have actually ever completed the sisyphean task of catching 'em all? Like did you catch the first 150 back in day? Since then? How does it feel? I imagine it is an extraordinarily empty feeling; like climbing to the top of a mountain that gets taller every couple of years. Heck, even I admitted on here, a week or so ago, that I'll never ever catch 'em all...
Curse you Game Freak, CURSE YOU!

MUSICAL MONDAY! THE EXPENDABLES: THE MUSICAL!
MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS
THE EXPENDABLES: THE MUSICAL!
Perfect timing from the guys over at legolambs , who are always on time with awesome content, the Kaplan Bros. I remember the first time I saw one of their videos on youtube. It was Silence! The Musical: Put the F***ing Lotion in the Basket. Silence! The Musical actually got a full treatment. The Brothers Kaplan generally stick to doing spoof musicals of such action films like Robocop and Rambo but Arnold Schwarzenegger is their favority subject. In fact, my favorite youtube video of last year is probably their video, Conan: The Musical (Fright Night: The Musical ("Amy Awake") is a close second).
This hilarious and epic number about the Expendables (I give it about a 5*/5. It's the best kind of dumb action movie) including them simulating the voices of all of our favorites 80's action stars and prematurely balding bad-asses. Featuring Al Kaplan as Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis. And Jon Kaplan as Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture. Make sure to check out, like, favorite and subscribe their videos.
Linked below are the other four articles where they've been the subject of a Musical Monday. The Fright Night: The Musical article is a character analysis of the characters of the film, the Conan the Barbarian: The Musical article is an analysis of the single greatest film soundtrack I've ever heard, and the Batman & Robin: The Musical article is a ridiculous, but somewhat earnest argument from my inner child that Schwarzenegger almost sold me on Mr. Freeze...almost.
Some day I'll have to explain my growing theory about the over-the-top action film being as legitimate an art form as any kind of dramatic theater, but that's for another time. For now, enjoy the Kaplan Bros. amazing work.
WORD OF THE DAY! 7/30/12.
noun
1. Great destruction or devestation; ruinous damage.
EX. You heard the chainmail dachshund, lets get up to some havoc...or give the nearest dog a belly rub. That's probably good too.

EX. The Game Grumps is my new favorite internet show.

The hosts, Egoraptor and Jon Tron, were already two of my favorite people on the youtubes and their chemistry is awesome. Click one of the links bellow and enjoy the grumping.
