I like this idea. We should sticky a topic just for that purpose.

Hell, it could be "Psycho Photo of the WEEK."
It would give the forum something to do~

I was watching a music video yesterday, and you know what I realised?

Shaper looks like the lead singer in the "Franz Ferdinand" band, Alexander Kapranos. At least, with regards to their latest music video. The "You're so lucky" one.

Here's a random image I googled:
http://www.virgin.net/music/wallpapers/images/franzferdinand_1024.jpg

Dude on the far left.

Ok, so that image doesn't convey it too well, but in the vid they look like twins. Seriously.

Has anyone else noticed this... Or is it just me?

EDIT:
Tried googline some more images, and upon closer inspection, my innitial thoughts remain exactly the same. Try flicking between such images in a firefox browser really quickly. Astounding.

Pretty neat huh?

For the record, I'm actually a fan of the band, or at least the music of their's that I've heard.

our dear editor-in-chief is a bit cleaner-looking. and a lot friendlier looking. not the sort of person to be associating with folks wearing "kill your pets" shirts! maybe that's just because of the photos of him holding babies?

That's a sign in the Arlington National Cemetary.

Yeah.

That's paper Metal Gear. He's small, but he looks nice. Thanks to Jiji for scanning the booklet.

It looks like you drew those in marker, or are the photos just that grainy?

Anyway, the Cave Story one is class for sure.

Fabric markers, so they don't run like hell, of course.

That is awesome. I didn't carve a pumpkin this year and now I'm regretting it.

I wish I'd thought to start earlier. I had this whole idea for a complete pac-man diorama, but I didn't have the time or the pumpkins. I have this ingenious idea for making pac-man ghosts that I'll probably forget by next year.

So I made a couple of shirts today.

Swimmy, your Doukutsu shirt from a couple of pages back was awesome.

permanant fabric ink printed through a silk screen.

it's a simple process, and the results are usually pretty okay. the ikaruga stencil only took half an hour or so to cut and a few seconds to print. i'm currently waiting on my friend to buy a blank tee so that i can use the sonic stencil i've got laying around.

it's fun. it also eliminates the need to spend $35 on t-shirts no one really likes anyway.

and like swimmy said, a homemade nerd is the only kind to be.

Where were you? I was going to ask if you got any action after the smacker in the first picture, but then I realized it's all dudes there, whereever it is. Looks like fun though!

I saw this bootleg Yoshi's Island at Game Stop. I mean, it does not even have the ESRB rating on it. Who ever took this game in on trade should be fired. Sorry that it is hard to see.

Insert head in scanner: press "scan."

The reverse face at the bottom is the result of me moving my face to the bottom part of the scanner faster than the scanner bar itself. I realize now that it's no new idea; but I saw this guy's picture of a garage taken with a scanner and it gave me an idea. And I think I truly got the idea from Chel White's Choreography for Copy Machine which I saw sometime in seventh grade. But I guess the Khronos Project beats all of that wussy regular temporal distortion hands-down.

the skeleton is tilting the controller sideways because the game is that intense.

Finally found my wedding pictures! At dhex's request in some staff thread I think.

Here's my entire family giving the thumbs-up.

Man, that was a good wedding. There was Katamari music during cocktails, too.

For some reason its that guitar at the far left that really brings the second picture together.

This is the building where we lived until about a year ago. Those are our vehicles in the front. That Jeep was stolen twice from that spot and recovered both times.
We eventually moved because they kicked everyone out and sold the whole area to people who wanted to build luxury condominiums.

We went back last Saturday and found that things have changed. This second picture is taken from the rear of the building, but you can see the ditch in both pictures.

This is the worst beef jerky I have ever had. It almost tasted like fish. If you are ever on the road and jerky sounds tempting DON'T GET THIS JERKY!
