Even Keyboard Cat Can't Make THIS Funny.

Posted by Joshem

So, I dunno if you heard about the best new internet phenomenon, but if you haven't its called, "Play him off keyboard cat."
Basically people have been editing together random youtube clips of generally horrible shit, with the cutest youtube video possible of a tabby in a t-shirt playing a keyboard. Some really smart motherfucker started to post them all to the link below:

Play Him Off Keyboard Cat.

Shit makes me laugh. So much so that I decided that I had to make my own and I went out to make the most evil keyboard cat evarrr.

So far it hasn't been posted on the offical site, but here's the video on youtube.

Hand Of God OR Crisis on Infinite Earths? You Be the Judge.

Posted by KRSJams

Either this is a beautiful cosmic nebula. . . or we are on the verge of Infinite Worlds Colliding!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

This shit is seriously spooky; if you wanna get the facts straight to impress faux intellectuals like JG check out this article about the Cosmic Hand That Reaches for the Light from Space.com.

Or if you just wanna flex your DC Universe history check out the knowledge from DC COMICS.com

Evil divine intervention is sweet! Look out for New Earth, and the Anti-Monitor!

(ed. note: we really have no clue what the fuck any of this stuff means, but we just peed a little in our tracksuit. And JG is seriously a faux intellectual)

I guess you don't want to watch a DVD quality advanced copy of X:Men blah blah blah Wolverine... Oh wait! You do? Fine, here ya go.

Logan keep it crunk.

Update:

So they took it off the site due to something called "infringement." I didn't get to see the whole thing but it was pretty lame anyway. Terrible acting all around - including will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas - and an even worse plot.

Hated it!

Update 2:
It's ba-ack! Watch this shit before they take it away again!

Update 3:
Shit! They took that one down too! This is the last one I'm putting up. I have a feeling it'll be safe for a while so check it out.

God Bless You Tullycast, Whoever You Are

Ok, I know half of you out there can't stand Bill Maher, but I grew up on George Carlin, Public Enemy, and Politically Incorrect. Love him or hate him, Maher definitely puts the work in to make his TV show as entertaining as a political commentray show could be (stop griping about the monologues, Aresnekoff!!).. He might be a misogynistic self-righteous asshole, but I gotta say, ever since he stopped pretending to be conservative and started having actual smart people on his show (instead of just whatever flavor of the moment celebrity needed a plug), I agree with him most of the time. He also likes drugs, booze, politics, rock & roll, sports, and chicks, so judge for yourself.



I thought when I got rid of cable I would have to go over to friend's houses to watch all my favorite HBO shows (at least before they end up on TVOKAY.com or Surfthechannel.com or Quicksilverscreen). But as nerdy as I get, I still like to go out on Friday nights and have a fucking ball, or at least my friends with cable do, so I turned to youtube, which is where I discovered Tullycast.

Now up to Tullycast4, I'm pretty sure this is some guy that keeps getting booted off youtube for posting Real Time with Bill Maher in nice segments on his profile. So good luck finding him, he gets thrown off a lot, but he keeps me up to date with what I consider to be the best political show on television.

Here's some help finding the latest incarnation of Tullycast.

happy st. paddy's!

Street Fighter IV Is Turning Me Into An Arthritic 10 Year Old

Posted by KrsJams

Flashback:
I am 10 years old and begging my parents to give me quarters just to embarrass some teenager when I Hadoken him to death.

Present Day:
So, not only did I pre-order Street Fighter IV, I totally splurged on the cheesy Collectors Edition. I haven't watched the half-assed anime yet, but I have played this game for hours on my couch. Addicted isn't the word, it's more like nostalgic, to the point of listening to the original Street Fighter II songs while playing the new game, just to feel like a kid again (they're awesome, check them out here). Seriously, I just can't help but think about the early arcade days in my hometown of Manhattan in New York City.

It must have been the summer between 4th and 5th grade when I first played this game in the back of a lotto store around the corner from my apartment. I was kind of upset because I had been kicking ass at Bad Dudes, and they switched it before I beat the game. But this game seemed different there were two joysticks and...really? Six buttons each??!

What the shit?! Most beat 'em up games had two buttons, jump and attack (with the deadly combo of jump + attack to do a special move). Even Neo Geo arcade machines only had 5 buttons, and most of the time they didn't even use all of them. Now this six button shit comes along? I soon found out just how much I needed light, medium, and fierce (later they changed it to heavy) attacks to wreck shop on strange opponents from across the globe. I think I always played as Ryu back in the day, because I could never mess with back for two seconds. I also couldn't do the dragon punch for a long time, but that's another story, Shoryuken.

So here I am, again, 10 years old and begging my parents to give me quarters just to embarrass some teenager when I Hadoken him to death. Many quarters were lost in the Arcades of Coney Island, Penn Station (there was a massive Arcade there, now it's a fucking K-Mart), and my all time favorite: Chinatown Fair.

Hidden away on Mott Street is probably the oldest/oddest Arcade in Manhattan. Chinatown Fair, the former home of The Dancing Chicken when I was a really little kid (God bless you Mom and Dad), is now the Mecca of fighting games in NYC. Today, they still have several Street Fighter II games and lots of other Capcom fighting games. The jewels in their crown right now are the four HD screens with their individual table top controls that link up for two player games.

This shit is crazy. First of all, it costs a dollar to play some guy that's been sitting there all day in some rickety-ass chair. And then he absolutely kicks my ass and I have to go to the back of the line to wait to repeat the sad process all over again. So even though its fun to try to embarrass strangers in public I much prefer demoralizing my friends at somebody's house.

I think the first home version I played was the Super Nintendo version. I played this game for so long I think I memorized all the classic music. I was finally able to do the dragon punch after someone's older brother showed me how, and I was ready stay up all night and do hurricane kicks.

I always kept up with the latest editions they released, and it wasn't long before Sega Genesis came out with the Championship Edition. Super Nintendo had six buttons, four on the face and two shoulder buttons (L and R), but Genesis only had three. At first you had to press the start button to switch from punch to kick and that was a pain in the ass, then they released the glorious six button controller. This thing was inspired, it had the exact button setup from the arcade and it changed the game at home on the Genesis.

Now, finally, after many other versions of this fighter: Alpha, EX, III, we have the next gen Street Fighter. I've been kicking ass and taking names online, so put KRSJAMS (Playstation 3 only) on your friends list and see if you got what it takes to beat this nerd!
