Pepsi stole idea for commercial?

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:26:08 +0000

So I was watching TV and saw a commercial for Pepsi's new campaign....
Now I don't know about you but it looks pretty much the same as a music video by a Japanese group back in 2009. Watch both then decide.

Awesome video Game Music

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 05:51:27 +0000

Just post some video game music, and explain why its awesome.

This song could stand alone as an orchestral masterpiece.
Its just... amazing!
Intrestingly this song plays during the final boss of shadow of he colosus.
Normally, Final Boss music is intense and fast paced. This on the other hand, is slow, dark and forboding, almost depressing.
Most Final Boss music makes you feel like kicking ass, this song, makes you feel like your going to lose.
Infact, this song makes you like shit after killing the boss, it's just that damn good.

Ubuntu's new brand.

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 04:10:41 +0000

So Cononical just announced that Ubuntu will be getting a newer look. The operating system and the Ubuntu website/merchandise.
Here's a screenshot of one of the new themes.

Yes, yes, it does look like Mac OS X but (imho) it looks nice. Finally a distro that doesn't look like every other distro. I like that they've gotten rid of the brown and replaced it with a nice dark purple, making it stand out. Also, Human is gone (phew) also with the addition of the Software Center, and the Ubuntu One Music Store (coming in 10.04) I think Ubuntu is finally trying to be what it promised (Linux for human beings). Also it's good for other distros like Fedora and Arch. Think about it, the more people using Ubuntu, the less noobs using Arch making it more cool because no one's using it (I kid ) But yeah, I'm excited to try Lucid when it comes out at the end of April.

Ubunite had twins!

So I just watched a video about plan9 (http://tumblr.com/xjc6sg751)

And all I can I say is: Damn thats interesting.

Plan9 is the OS of the future, maybe not in its present form, but the ideas it presents will influence the future of computing.

Mountain Dew and Pepsi throwback.

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:33:33 +0000

I've tried both and they're fucking awesome. The thing I don't like about regular Dew and Pepsi is that they leave an aftertaste that feels like there's something on your teeth (I don't know if it's just me but it's weird) but the Throwbacks are a LOT better. I could chug one of these like water, it's that awesome. I'm hoping that Pepsi will be impressed by the sales and keep them as a permanent brand. Try them out.

Episode 1- A DELISHUS SAMMICH AND PARMESAN PUFFS

AND NOW, TIME FOR A COOKING LESSON FROM BLINDEDLIGHT

TODAY I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A DELISHUS LUNCH FOR SAVOURY FEWD LOVERS

Here are the things you'll need:

Code:

* Oven Roasted Turkey, thin sliced, from your Deli.

* Butter (lots of it)

* Montreal steak seasoning (very common)

* Jalepeno slices, like at Subway/Quiznos

* Parmesan cheez (Grated or sliced, not powdered)

* Saltine Crackers

* A FRYIN PAN

* Bread

Directions for sammich:
Turn your stove burner on to it's highest setting, and slap a good tablespoon of butter on.

When it starts to melt, throw on 3 slices of turkey, 3 Jalepeno slices, and sprinke Montreal seasoning onto the turkey slices.

When the turkey slices start to hiss, it means either it's a zombie, or it's time to flip it.

When you flip, sort of fold the slices into a burrito shape with the Jalepenos in between. Press down with the spatula and brown on both sides, adding butter if needed.

Using the spatula, cut up the slices into small pieces, and press yer spatchuler down on them for a minute.

Take it out of the pan, and put it on your bread. Also, put some parmesan on top.

WARNING: It isn't advisible to breathe in the fumes coming off of this meal while it's in the pan. The jalepenos give it a slight, er, edge. It does smell good, though : )

Directions for parmesan puffz:
I just love parmesian cheez, so this classifies as yummeh for me.

Take a LARGE PINCH of parmesan, and put it on a saltine. repeat. repeat. (x 9000)
Take ur saltines, and put dem in ze microwaver for 1 minute, or longer until yew see ze parmesan bubble and melt.

Take ze parmezan saltines out of the microwave and VOILA! Crunchy parmesan puffz on teh saltinez. (optional, take jalepenos from sammic recipe and put dem on top)
