Really I don’t care about this report on this video game, I’m just interested in this image. In fact, there’s two things I would like to see happen, stemming from this image:
1) You remember that squirrel that got in the photo of those two campers? And then there was the automatic web toys that took your photo and edited the squirrel into it? I want one of those but it edits Jareth the Goblin King into it. Make it happen, Internet.
2) I’d like to see the Goblin King as some sort of boss in a Rock Band/Guitar Hero type game. You show up and suddenly there’s Jareth rocking a sinister power chord. He turns towards you and says, “You’re no match for me, Sarah.” You say, “Hey man, my name’s Jason,” and you proceed to duel it out with him. Halfway into the song, goblins come out of the crowd and knock you over, making you lose your bonus multiplier. “That’s not fair!” you cry. Jareth sneers at you. “You say that so often,” says he, “I wonder what your basis for comparison is.” To which you reply, “When I was battling that marionette version of Beck and he tried to spill beer on my amp to electrocute me. Fucking puppets.” The guitar battle would continue, and for the big finish, you strike a power fifth in Jareth’s face, shouting, “YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!” Beating him at his own game, you unlock the achievement “Thin White Rebuke.”

I wanted to paste this short film by Graham Kolbeins of Future Shipwreck fame (www.futureshipwreck.com) a long time ago but never got around to it.
So…yeah, I’m posting it now.
He used music by japanese noise/drone-rockers BORIS for the soundtrack which makes it all the more special (at least for me).
This makes my little emo heart skip a beat.
My little emo heart is the one with the arrhythmia. My other ones are fine. And normal-sized for the most part.
Don’t worry.
Ugh. Not only does Graham have a beautiful eye for film, the fellas themselves are quite handsome. Also, they’re incredibly good guys in real life.
Thanks for the kind words everyone! :)
A few more: Yay! This is very tender.
I had to tell AdamD about “Stop surfing the internet and draw some very cool robots”.

Haha. Reminds me of when I was home for the holidays once, and my cousin was on AOL talking to boys. The kid she was talking to was all, “I’ve got brown hair and blue eyes,” and my cousin said, “You sound hot.”
I was like, “Dude! That could be brown hair, blue eyes, three noses, green skin, antenna, mandibles, you don’t know!” I’m only sort of the helpful cousin.

You are the conditional style hack code to my 3px floating bug…
I’ve seen this button going around Tumblr on several of my friends’ sites, and Brian’s take on it the closest to my own thoughts.
The problem is, I work with these things for a living, so I see this button and I parse the sentiment to be something like, “You make me look really good, but we had to work an extra week or two on that just so that around 70-75% of other people out there could even understand what we’re about, plus we had to publish an additional informational sheet for them because sometimes they’re such fucking idiots.”
Hey you know, on second thought, considering that there’s still a bunch of people out there who don’t get us gay folks, maybe that’s about right.
