A bunch of papers from MIT studying different aspects of media, online societies and computer games. I haven’t read a single one, but they’re all on my to-read list: cms.mit.edu

In order of appearance:

1) Per peeking peevishly per prejudice the passing of playable time.
2) Last week Elliot won again. The guy to the left is the donor of half Elliots genes.
3) Me at my hottest. And hungoverest.
4) When other people talk about the importance of having an economical buffer, I’m not sure that we are on the same page.

Kawaii!!!!!!! and Aqua Teen Hunger Force not so kawaii

Insanely cute dancing robot thingy. Slightly reminiscent of a dancing coca-cola can that I had as a kid, but just so much nicer. And the video is just kawaii beyond belief. Read more here: www.beatbots.org

I listened to Dangerdooms album, and thought that I recognised a few samples. Checking it out on the trusted Wikipedia, I learned that much of it was themed around Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a semi-retarded cartoon series. Naturally, I decided to download the feature length movie that just came out, Aqua Teen Hunger Force colon movie film for dvd, and it proved to be a nonsensical piece of surrealistic something. I guess it might not be a perfect fit with you pallet, but I thought I’d show you the intro anyway:

Avurt. It sounds like a yoghurt but is actually a “non-lethal” “self-defence” “weapon”. It shoots something that might make you vomit. And it’s available in pink. You have to check out their webpage – the infomercial video that autoplays when you get there is gold.

Closed fist, please freeze, but an open hand means stop. That’s a sign you make at a checkpoint. To an Iraqi person, that means, Hello, come here. So you can see the problem that develops real quick. So you get on a checkpoint, and the soldiers think they’re saying stop, stop, and the Iraqis think they’re saying come here, come here. And the soldiers start hollering, so they try to come there faster. So soldiers holler more, and pretty soon you’re shooting pregnant women.”
