Z-plan must have

From the people at Bestmadeco.com comes the next thing that every zombie apocalypse survivor must have, the Axe Sling.

Before now it was impossible to arm yourself with a double barreled shotgun and subcompact machine pistol at the same time while staying prepared for that inevitable gun jam or running out of ammo. For a mere $165, that's now a reality.

I think Max Brooks would be proud to know that companies are taking his advice...

Comicon Oddness

AoTS did a piece at Comicon about the weird collectibles. While the last one is simply cool (and Allison obviously has never camped), the first is definitely the oddest:

"Because tomorrow may never come." Awesome...

World Agricola

Those who play Agricola will get this, sorry to those that don't other than it's yet another world Cup joke, but I'm not a proud person....


Not really sure why it takes a brick to build. Maybe so you have something to throw at the person playing it...

I'm sorry Dave, you suck.

Starcraft 2 is about to be hopefully released! While there has been a lot of controversy about Blizzard's policies, it's still an exciting deal and Blizzard knows it. Now even software developers are jumping on the real money makers - Moichendizing!

The official Starcraft 2 hardware is available through Razer. Now you can own a mouse, keyboard and headset that have a backlit Starcraft 2 logo. Seriously, only noobs use a regular mouse (or those that don't have $320 to spend on them).

I have to admit, they're very cool. Come on, the keyboard flashes red when your base is being attacked! How cool is that? It does more too, the LEDs glow different colors depending on how well you're doing at the game. They flash green, yellow or red based on how many actions a minute you are using.

Great, now in addition to having my sexuality questioned by a 12 year old, my mouse will also let me know how bad I suck.

Interesting priorities

I always get a kick out of the wall ads in bars in the bathrooms. This one especially tickled my fancy ( and not in that way Snarky). It's for a local Harley-Davidson dealership that's displaying their 1000 mile service program and all the parts that are serviced. Note what #1 is:


That's right, their very impressive 28 point service program starts with the latch of the saddle bags.

Awesome.

Drumming tips

Maybe this is why I suck at the drums on Rock Band (jump to the 1:00 mark):



I'm totally going to trip playing this way next time. Although it will most likely result in me ruining another of the Doctor's drum set, but it's all in the name of rock right?

It's called playtesting

The newest game from Rock Star, the folks who brought us Grand Theft Auto, is Red Dead Redemption. It's a western sand box shooter/adventure game. It's on my radar, but only when it comes out for the PC.

In any case, there have been a few dedicated fans that have uncovered a few glitches. I'm not talking about invisible walls or bad cameras, I'm talking about things like flying bird people, talking dog gunslingers and viscous cougar men.

What kind of play testing did this game actually get? I have no idea how much time Youtube user Wheredabootz spent to find these glitches, but it still seems like a playtester should have found them first.

While they're all slightly creepy, this is my favorite:



WTF?
