- @asmadasbirds I go out of my way to make sure I sit next to you on flights while wearing my best sandals and shorts and you say this now? in reply to asmadasbirds #
- Check out my new, real-world, constantly updated, projected onto the sky webcomic about passing clouds. Go on. Look up. That’s me. #
- Cynics say I.Q’s are dropping all around, but one look at today’s youth and hope just skyrockets. http://tinyurl.com/daeubk #
- So, I’m sitting here, just relaxing and smoking up some premium Smarties, and I’m thinking life’s not so bad. This shit is good. #
- Should I be happy that so many people headed my instructions to not ask HORRIBLE questions resulting in me getting almost NO questions? #
- The obvious answer is yes, but the deeper implications are devastating. #
- Saw a guy EATING Smarties, and not smoking them. I almost through up, but started choking on Smarties dust for about 20 minutes. #
- Almost THREW up. The ‘through’ was a side effect of the Smarties, man. This shit’ll fuck you up. Don’t end up like me, you awful people. #
- But thanks to the people who think I actually dunno which word was meant to be there. You guys are doing the Lord’s work…I guess. #
- I picture them getting updates with typos on their phone, doing cartoonish spit takes, and pulling over in traffic to point out mistakes. #
- “This shall not stand!”, they cry out as the car plows through a mail box, tapping on their phones with terrible intensity. #
- Having done the deed, a heavy COD4 guitar riff signifies that they’ve just leveled up from all the XP. New perks have been unlocked! #
- You guys need a name. Like a collective name to make referring you lousy lot all at once a simpler thing. Considering the options now… #
- Ooh…best suggestion, from a follower no less: “CUNTS” #
- Might make it a monthly thing, coming up with a new collective name. Not going with “cunts”, by the way. Too regal. #
- “Pedantic Twats” only covers a small portion of you, so no there. Reserving that for special occasions, though, as it’s too sexy to ignore. #
- Your collective name for the month of March is “Elaine”. Carry on. #

- @rstevens Wait…are you now saying that USB 3 is Christopher Lloyd, and USB 2 is The Montalban? in reply to rstevens #
- @3liza Genital definition is precisely what I’m lacking. I never get picked out during police lineups for my genital transgressions. in reply to 3liza #
- ‘Genital Transgressions’ is my punk band’s name, by the way. #
- Because videos like this bring joy, and quality beeps: http://tinyurl.com/abp3bx #
- The Wii moans feebly under the game cabinet, drowned out by the airliner whine of the reinstated 360. Its time is short. #
- Wii cries out that Mad World is now in stores. 360 distracts me with a “Dickensian Achievement” for watching Bleak House on Netflix. #
- Pssst. Hey, Elaine, @cunch has new stuff up at her store. Times are hard, so be a hobo with neat goods: http://tinyurl.com/cl2qgf #
- Thought I’d take Wii for a walk as it doesn’t get much air these days. Barely out the door and it got jumped by a possum. #
- Not so much in retaliation but out of its terrible need for blood, the PS3 flew out, paralyzed the possum, desiccating it in seconds. #
- My kingdom for an iphone app development team. My kingdom, however, is currently a refrigerator box. It does have a moat, though. #

Elderly Bits: MSI Motion Test
Found this lil thing taking up space on a hard drive recently and thought it might be of interest to five of you.
This was the first attempt at figuring out the movement for  MSI’s ‘Shut Me Up’ video from a few years back.  Josh here had not quite gotten the lyrics down, so there’s a lot of bullshitting here. Never did quite get them down, which motivated covering his mouth with animated, black censor bars in the final video. Worked out for the best, I’d say.
Looking at this, I’m reminded of how much more I liked the effect when it was a tiny camera being used instead of the bulky HD monsters we ended up using. Â The higher quality HD stuff ended up undermining the desired cheapness of what I was going for. Â There’s just more of a spazzy liveliness to this little clip.
Might talk about more later on about the actual making of the video, but for now enjoy Josh pretending like he knows the lyrics while spinning like a jerk.
Adorably Radioactive
Seeing Spooky’s evil twin over at Clutter Magazine’s website raised my myriad of eyebrows for a sec, and then reminded me of a lil’ oddity of my own, hidden away for many years, actually.

The Desperation of Poopus Gonzales
Who could forget this scene that never happened, huh?
Along the same lines as doing collaborative drawings with friends and enemies while doing that thing that comprises far too much of a person’s time, waiting (Usually for fine cakes), now and then I throw a couple of pages of a script at someone for them to continue. Like this one, they never quite reach anything near completion, as nobody can quite reign things in enough to tell a story so much as create a horrific, incomprehensible dreamscape, but there’s usually some amusing stuff in there, nonetheless.

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-03-06
- “I…just want…augh…to KILL! Why I…not shoot…Helghast…with…bluuugh…ease?” Rico then comes up, tears in eyes, and shoots you. #
- Just as the Wii was feeling loved after all that HOTD:Overkill, the 360 came back from repairs, kicked it in the crotch and tea-bagged it. #
- Now I generally don’t condone that sort of nonsense, but I had been suffering from Nazi Zombies withdrawal so I let it slide this one time. #
- @rstevens I’m just waiting for The Diamond Age style primers. My genteel lady side needs some serious polish. in reply to rstevens #
- @enicolle It’s true, though. Every single thing SLG puts out officially falls under the category of “SQUEE! stuff”. in reply to enicolle #
- @enicolle Trust me, man. People like that, NOT my minions. But you sure as hell can have fun abusing that character flaw in them! in reply to enicolle #
- @enicolle “Jhonen says that walking into traffic is HEE-LARIOUS.” or “Jhonen thinks jumping the safety barriers at the zoo is AWESOME.” #
- Figures the design team for Mirror’s Edge is Swedish. You want beautifully inhuman, stark utopia, you get yerself some Swedes. Lovely. #
- Haven’t been that in love with a game environment in a long time. A world where people have designed the humanity out of everything. #
- The game actually took me back to my days playing Flashback on the Genesis, that aching feeling for just being someplace “other”. #
- @MyBees PS3 version, and I flew through that game. I can see why a lot of people would have trouble, but they have canned hams for hands. in reply to MyBees #
- I’ve accomplished a lot in my time, but can’t shake the growing dread that I’ll never be given the proper respect I deserve as a gangsta. #
- Again and again I have proven myself in “das hood”, passed all the trials. Have I not slain a Khorgon: the multi-nutted? Am I not mighty? #
- I drink more soothing gangsta-tea than any chumples I know, and yet I am still living on the fringe side of the gangs I yearn to lead. #
- I alone wear sash of fallen homey skins formed of the still screaming faces of those who opposed me, and STILL I am am utterly be-dissed. #
- My “homeboy”, Sleepy Tea, would always be by my side, calming my nerves when “the shit” went down, or when too many “quotations” were used. #
- Did Spooky’s parents have a secret baby and not tell me about it?? http://tinyurl.com/cuerzt #
- Tonight, on a very special episode of A NEW POST. http://tinyurl.com/cyyu9d #
- @SLGPublishing Yep. Everyone knows I started Hot Topic with my own bare feet and made a bunch of idiots dress poorly. My bad, guys. in reply to SLGPublishing #
- @warrenellis I just ate an entire box of Teddy Grahams in EIGHT minutes, and I’d be all sweaty if not for the absorbent layer of crumbs. in reply to warrenellis #
- A great deal of the awesome came from the aural atmosphere dreamed up by Solar Fields. http://tinyurl.com/bb8zd5 #
- Sleepy Tea’s index finger is a spout through which piping hot herbal tea pours. Sleepy Tea has disfigured many a friend. I’m cool so far. #
- Hey, Londoners…ya know, Australia likes me more, apparently, flying me out for a chat. I’m not hurt…just sayin’. Snif… #
- Meant ‘Brits’ instead of Londoners, I did. I was typing while writhing in agony from Sleepy Tea pointing at me. God I love him. #
- Working on a mockup for the Question Sleep site’s webstore. The sawdust in the air from all the designing is killing me. #
- Ugh…cut my thumb on the bandsaw working on a banner image. This just isn’t my thing, man. Not my thing at all. #
- There has got to be an easier way of changing background colors than all of this sanding, right? I’m choking on browser dust. #
- Has everyone noticed that Aaron Alexovich is now using this twitter technology? Fall prey to his charms at @essrose and know his power. #
- @fredrin Uh..muh..guh. When I did it it was nice, but you doing it just looks mean. You’re a monster, man. A monster. in reply to fredrin #
- @fredrin No worries, man. I can see you just fine. I can see…everything…just…fine. in reply to fredrin #
- All the other villains have holed up in cool abandoned amusement parks or toy factories, leaving me with just the old tuna canning plant. #
- @rstevens I just want to go to sleep, but all I have to sleep on is PIZZA. in reply to rstevens #
- Pretty much resigned to commanding the “evil” henchmen to canning tuna, as it’s all they do regardless of what I command. #
- Even in the most diabolical of times, I’m pretty much just overcharging for very regular cans of not at all evil cans of tuna. I dunno, man #
- Fuck. My tuna’s really taking off and I’m legitimately making a living. This isn’t how it was supposed to go at all. #
- @enicolle Dude, there’s a bunch of old ladies and children singing in front of the cannery, thanking me for reviving the town’s economy. in reply to enicolle #
