Shadowbane

This is just funny – Hackers got into an online game and ruined it – Hackers Put ‘Bane’ in Shadowbane

The population of an entire Shadowbane town was forcibly moved to the bottom of the sea, where they drowned. City guards turned feral and attacked town residents. Mobs of never-before-seen superpowerful creatures, seemingly spontaneously spawned from the ether, began to prowl the streets unchecked, killing characters in the most painful way possible.

Digital Remix

As per usual, Cnet has some interesting things to say about digital music – State of the art: A medium reborn

The Dullest Blog

I think I posted this before, but its still funny: The dullest blog in the world. For example:

Walking along at a steady pace – May 17
I needed to get somewhere and decided to walk there. I wasn’t particularly early or particularly late, so I walked along at a steady pace.

Home Star Runner

Via Colin – you have to see Home Star Runner. Try these: Japanese Cartoon and the Intro. I feel bad for Strong Sad, though.

Oh, I also like the Trying to get a drink without actually getting a drink thing. Thats funny. This is funny here.

Matrix Reloaded

After seeing Matrix Reloaded last night, I’m feeling confused feelings. I’m going to do some spoiling, so don’t read this if you haven’t seen it. One question, what is the deal with Neo being able to use superpowers in the ‘real world’? It seems to me that this means that where Zion is is actually still the Matrix. Like there is another Matrix for people who are not satisfied with the Matrix that was made to keep them occupied. Did that make sense? Anyway, I thought it was OK but not great. I agree with a lot of the things that Ain’t it cool news said about it – for example, that the Burly Brawl scene with all of the Smiths was pretty much pointless. I mean, what did that accomplish? On the other hand, I do think the plot was pretty good if not a little too confusing. There is this corporate mofo guide that seems pretty cool (but even that confuses me. Plus, there are two other good discussions out there: here and here. In the end, I think the movie was good but obviously needs the third movie to make any real sense. Finally, one more site: Matrix Essays. Oh, and What’s So Bad about Living in the Matrix?
