Zelda, Halo Style

I came upon this video a couple of years ago and had forgotten about it until a friend, whom I had shown it to, mentioned it yesterday. Halo Custom Edition, a PC expansion for the first Halo game, allowed fans to design their own maps, character skins, etc., and I like this even more than the Mines of Moria stage somebody created for the Jedi Knight games.

A Typical Kroger Trip

I went to Kroger with my mom the other day. As usual, I did only two things: walk and make picky comments about the products.

"'Baby Peeled Carrots'? It should be 'Peeled Baby Carrots.' They don't grow peeled; these aren't peeled carrots that are still tiny, they're tiny carrots that are peeled."

"Oh, look, next to 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!' they have Yoda's version, 'Butter It's Not.' Except Yoda is actually admitting it's a substitute."

On top of that, while my mom knows the different brands, the price variations for the other quantities of the product, and all the which-one's-cheaper-at-which-store-in-what-size-of-this-brand-with-that-whatever, I turn down the aisle and go, "Hey, we need that! *grab*"

SMB1 By Webcam

This is one of those things I've been meaning to post since ... before I started my blog, sort of. Anyway, this is clever if it's fake and awesome if it's real; such a thing is certainly possible. Judging from the physics of Mario and the behavior of the objects (blocks, in particular), I suppose he coded this mostly from scratch, which is quite impressive.

PS - The related video of level 1-1 in Line Rider is nicely done, too.
