Just Do It  On The Internets

0 OhShitOhShitOhShit Forza 3 Is Coming!

Excitement: enormous!

See here: E3 video of the announcement from Turn 10. It looks: amazing.

And yes E3 was a while ago, and I am stupidly late with this. Blame… me

0 It’s Still Kinda Hard To Believe He’s Gone

From only two days earlier.

2 Beat Some Boxes Wit Yo Bad Self

Ahem.

So, yeah, another pretty awesome stumbled-upon thing: a beatboxer called Beardyman. There’s a shit-ton of his stuff out there in tubesville, but this is a pretty good 8-part example.

The other four parts are there, there, there and there.

And here he is on a BBC talent show!

Stick to the underground, holmes… clapping buffoons are a bad look.

0 iPhone Make A Song

This is an awesome app for the iPhone which lets you make simple beat tunes, and this guy demonstrates it superbly. I hate iPhones, but this rocks bells.

You can probably get it from here.

Were I not so knackered I’m sure I’d have come up with a more imaginative title for this, but ne’er mind.

0 Tim Minchin Makes Poetry Excellent

Poetry, not usually my strong point, was thrust into my ears today. The revelation: it can be quite amusing (when this guy does it, at any rate)! No visuals with the video sadly, but it’s definitely worth investing 9 minutes into.

0 Amen Break – A Small Documentary

A rather cool little (well, 18 minute) documentary on the history of a 6 second segment of music which has influenced/inspired much over the last 40 years.

0 Blag: No Longer Unbearably Slow

In minor-but-quite-excellent news, I’ve moved the blag (and all associated bamf) to a new host, namely Vidahost, who if memory serves are run by a guy from OcUK. Stuff is loading about 30% faster than even when my old host was having a good day, so on average load times have probably halved, and that.

Vidahost themselves have been ace, their support staff have helped a lot, and promptly too, so it’s all good, son.

Hoorah!

To celebrate, I’ve shafted an image of my wheels onto the title, and rejigged it a bit. Heavy.

0 Twatter

So, in “oh fuck I’m actually posting about Me and not about Something Amusing”-style news, I’ve decided Twitter might be fun to actually investigate.

To this end I’ve discovered a good Twitter tutorial on some guy’s blag which goes into detail of all the funny customs associated with the place. Funny customs, because there aren’t that many actual features other than @name to reply, so the rest of the things that people do to enhance its functionality have just evolved from the userbase, which is kinda funky.

Did I actually just post about Twitter? Fuck.

0 These Days, Sir Alan’s Worth More Than £8

Utter genius. Thanks, Cassetteboy.

0 Trust The Fucking Welsh

In news which would, hopefully, make most people promptly quote John McEnroe circa 1981, an entire family in sunny Wales have decided that a bunch of smeared Marmite on the underside of the lid off a jar of Marmite is actually Jesus’ face.

I just… I…

Where do you even start with shit like this?

Highlight for me must be this quote from the mother:

People might think I’m nuts, but I like to think it’s Jesus looking out for us. We’ve had a tough couple of months; my mum’s been really ill and it’s comforting to think that if he is there, he’s watching over us.

So… your amazing, fantastic, all-powerful, loving and caring god is just sat there watching while your mother suffers, and somehow that’s good of him. Watching. As people you care about suffer. Ace. Just fucking ace.
