Cracked and Nintendo
Jun. 15th, 2010 11:01 pmWhen I was younger, I used to get stuck doing quizzes on Quizilla, OKCupid and all those quiz/meme sites for hours. I guess that has been replaced by Cracked.com. I almost never click on Cracked.com links because I know I will be there for longer than I actually have time for, just by going through the random articles at the bottom of each page.
Last night was one of those nights. Here are some of the ones I read.
The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth.
The 5 Creepiest Unsolved Crimes Nobody Can Explain. (The #2 and #1 are the least weird, in my opinion. #1 is obviously some sort of a cult.)
15 Grossly Mis-leading Movie Posters. I just... what.
20 Baffling Foreign Movie Posters.
6 Horrifying Implications of Awesome Fantasy Movie Universes. I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT LOTR LIKE THAT. D:
Also, etymology is one of my interests, so the Online Etymology Dictionary is another time-sucker for me. Most of the time I'll look up a word there and end up clicking on all the related words and their related words.... you get the idea. But the etymology of "fuck" is confusing as all hell.
Enough about last night. Today was the start of E3 (for me--yesterday was Microsoft, but I don't have an Xbox so why would I care?), and my mind is BLOWN. All I was expecting from Nintendo was Zelda and some ridiculous casual games, but we got some amazing games announced. A new Metroid? Donkey Kong Country? KIRBY? KID ICARUS? MARIO HOCKEY?!!? (it's packaged with other sports but I WILL TAKE IT, REGGIE, SIR.) I never played Goldeneye, but if people wanted Goldeneye now, they could just play Halo or COD4. I think people are excited anyway, but it's kind of too late to get people on the Wii. And I have never even heard of Golden Sun, and the title sounds like a Twilight rip-off. *ducks* Next year, Nintendo? I expect some Battletoads.
I was hoping for Beyond Good and Evil 2, but so far nothing. I haven't seen Sony's press conference yet, which is when I'd assume that would be announced, but I'd have heard about BG&E2 through Twitter if it had been announced. Twisted Metal and Killzone 3 is sweet though... I guess.
Speaking of BG&E2, Revision3 is re-launching their site as a sort of social network hybrid. I don't really understand it, but I updated my stuff and started following people. I'm going to add it to my contact entry, but here's my profile anyway.
And now I will go catch up on my TV shows. :)
P.S. Do I usually end up using my Zelda icon for E3 posts? I feel like I do.
