TOP 5 SPORTS GAME CLASSICS – part 1

So, I’ve been playing a lot of Madden lately and getting my ass kicked. I miss the days when sports was pass/steal or shoot/block. Now, with 6+ buttons and pressure sensitive controls, video games are more complex then ever. Playing them can be hard, demanding, confusing. YOu don’t just need an in depth knowledge of the game, but the dexterity of a gymnast and the hand eye co-ordination of a surgeon. SO I give you 5 classic sports video games as basic and fun as it gets.

CHRISTIAN BALE BLOW UP

Now, as someone who works in TV, I have to say I’ve seen a few actors loose there shit before.  It’s never pretty but sometimes it happens, they have a job that required focus and a crew of 60+ people can get in the way.  Film production works like this: rehearse, block, light, tweak, shoot.  Again and again until the scenes are done for the day, week, month.  During a rehearsal, the only people who really NEED to be on set are the actors and director.  Then during blocking all department heads come see what needs to be done to have the scene ready.  So while an outburst isn’t cool, this may have been justified, we just don’t know the details of the situation.  Either way, it’s always hilarious.  Especially, when remixed:

HANGOVER…the cure

ahhhhhh, all better.

TURBACONDUCKEN!

These geniuses at bacontoday.com (WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED THAT BACON HAD IT’S OWN WEBSITE?!) have constructed a Turducken (chicken-inside-a-duck-inside-a-turkey) covered in bacon.  Not just on the outside either.  The individual pieces of Chicken and duck inside the 15lb Turkey are wrapped as well.  Click the bacontoday link above for the story and some awesome pictures.  In other news, for dinner tonight I am making a Pastrami sandwich stuffed with tacos stuffed with Ramen noodles.  I am Top Chef.

John Hodgman is hilarious

I got this from McSweeneys.  It’s a bit long but it’s worth the read.

Setting: The offices of Ten Men Who Help Each Other But Are Not Brothers, a firm located near the River That’s Not as Wide as the Really Wide River.

(ONE WHO HELPS THE HAIRY ONE is seated, going over some notes. Enter MAKER OF FIRE.)

ONE: (Standing.) Hey, it’s good to see you. Thanks for coming by.

MAKER: Thank you, One Who Helps the Hairy One. I’m sorry I’m late. Somehow I ended up by the Really Wide River.

ONE: Really? When we met by the Sticky Tree, I thought I said near the River That’s Not as Wide as the Really Wide River.

MAKER: That is what you said. I must have gotten turned around at the Sharp Shells.

ONE: Oh, yeah. That happens a lot.

MAKER: I must have just spaced.
