^that is so awesome.

Also. Anyone else checked out Savlonic? They make amazing electronic tunes with some comedic lyrics and have 3 characters much like The Gorillaz. There videos are animated by the guys at Weebl's Stuff.
The guy sounds just like Weebl so I think obviously him. However they are apparently a actual band not part of Weebl's Stuff. Who knows, just watch it :P

Cool.

Also after 10 years they finished making the start of a panoramic image of our galaxy, detailing billions and billions of stars. Read about it here for those who don't frequent BBC News, and see it here.

:
The first part of the product's name comes from Latin bos meaning "ox" or "cow." Johnston took the -vril suffix from Bulwer-Lytton's then-popular 1870 "lost race" novel The Coming Race, whose plot revolves around a superior race of people, the Vril-ya, who derive their powers from an electromagnetic substance named "Vril."

I swear George Takei is Wintermute or something. He knows all the internet.

I have a new favourite LPer. No, scratch that, I just have a favouite LPer. I haven't had one before.

That was amazing. The second one, Not the actual trailer. :lol:

I could not contain my laughter at this clip.

Two requests for the techies:

1. How do I delete ghost files? You know, ones that have technically already been deleted but leave an ugly blank icon on your desktop; When you try to delete them, Windows says it can't because the file isn't there anymore.

2. Is there any alternative to Windows Network Diagnostics for magically fixing your broken internet connection? It keeps failing to be sufficiently magical. As in, it doesn't work.

DarkHoodness 03-31-2012 05:23 PM
I expect there will be lots of posts here today with vids like this:

1. Install Ubuntu. That isn't me being critical of Windows, but rather that it works better with permissions and can fix filesystem issues that Windows can't.
2. Dunno.

I have lost all faith in Ubuntu, it's not the same as the old releases. I'd rather use OpenSuse in my personal opinion.

National Geographic has created some composite images of the Titanic wreck.

Oh and:



Since not everybody checks blogs, here's a bunch of links to April Fools jokes I found:

Blizzard's April Fool's

British Government's April Fools

Accursed Farm's April Fools (Civil Protection, normally a mediocre G-Mod machinima)

SethBling's April Fools (Minecraft's 1.2.5 features!)

Kodak did one as well.

What, me? The file target. The file's erased, but the bits of graphic interface that say 'Hey, there's a file here' are still pointing to where it used to be.

Phylum 04-02-2012 04:28 AM
No, I mean the internet thing. It's hard to help with something that open.

There must be a way to tell Windows off for pointing, though.

Try CCleaner, it has a registry cleanup tool that may help you.

MeechMunchie 04-02-2012 04:36 AM
I already have CCleaner, and I run it regularly. I just ran its Registy Cleaner again. No dice.

Don't worry about the internet thing, I was just frustrated because Diagnostics was just going in circles and telling me to check my router for the twentieth time.

EDIT: Trying to delete the ghost by Command Prompt also failed.

i know it's old, but it still makes me smile.

MeechMunchie 04-02-2012 10:31 AM
I enjoyed this game. Played it to the very end.



I was going to post one of those time-lapse beard-growth videos, but then I remembered just how many of those there were.

Don't forget Hologram girl.

Dynamithix 04-03-2012 06:14 AM
So it's Dance Central: Star Wars?

Strike Witch 04-03-2012 06:19 AM
It has other game-modes like podracing and fights and adventures and a 3D version of Rampage with a Rancor, but yes.

And it has this.

MeechMunchie 04-03-2012 07:11 AM
Hey Nate, what are you doing playtesting B.U.T.T.O.N.?

You should put this in WDYLL as well.

MeechMunchie 04-03-2012 12:26 PM
You're not supposed to post photos of other people.

EDIT: Oh, and Peter Molydeux had a games jam where people created games based on random tweets from fans.

How else are you going to test bullet-proof glass?

I fucking love Johnny Utah's animation.

:
(I’m a cashier at a newly opened gas station. It is the first of its chain in the area. As such, many of the customers are asking questions about the store. Since we’re new, I’m trying my best to be extra friendly and helpful to everyone. An old woman approaches me with several items. She looks rather concerned.)

Customer: “So…are you a gas station or a grocery store?”

Me: “Both, ma’am. We’re all about convenience.”

Customer: “And what sorts of customers come here?”

Me: “Well, we’ve just opened, ma’am, so its hard to say at this point.”

Customer: “I don’t want to shop at a store for God-hating homosexuals.”

Me: “Come again?”

Customer: “You heard me!”

(I do my best to maintain a neutral stance and begin scanning her items as quickly as possible.)

Me: “Ma’am, by policy we can’t turn away customers.”

(She gives me a strange look and her eyes widen.)

Customer: “You’re one of them aren’t you!?”

Me: “Pardon?”

Customer: “You’re a f*****!”

Me: “I’m not, actually, but it is my job to serve any customer that comes to my register.”

Customer: “I will never come here again! May God have mercy on your sinful soul!”

(I stand there for a few moments absolutely dumbstruck. Meanwhile, two older gentlemen in matching lavender shirts come up to my register and drop a $50 bill in my tip jar while only purchasing a single gallon of milk. One of them grins and looks me in the eye.)

Older gentleman: “Doesn’t matter if you’re on ‘our team’ or not. We’re coming here every day from now on.”
Cute
