100




This is our 100th post. Something of a milestone, I think.

And to celebrate, here's a link to Truck Spills.com, a website devoted entirely to photos of things spilled from trucks on to highways around the world. Makes sense, right?

It was that or a photo of Willard Scott wishing someone a happy 100th birthday. Consider yourself lucky.

Haven't I Seen This Already?



For all of the hype surrounding James Cameron's supposedly-groundbreaking Avatar universe, this game trailer sure looks like familiar territory for Halo fans.

Sure, there may be bigger creatures and flying dragons and a completely new story line, but the whole Future Army vs Aliens in The Jungle scenario doesn't exactly reek of a brand new idea. Sorry, Jim... I'd been promised a revolution, but the first impressions aren't blowing me away...

There, I Fixed It




I just stumbled across There, I Fixed It, which may be my favorite new website. Cut from the same glorious cloth as FAIL Blog...

Mario Just Blew My Mind




Holy crap. A bunch of wicked smart people are taking part in an Infinite Mario AI competition with some pretty impressive results. Today's Big Thing wrote it up this way:

"Infinite Mario Bros is a flash game that endlessly generates random levels. Right now there is a competition going on to program the best AI to play Infinite Mario. This is one of the entrys. The interesting part is that the AI is only aware of what's on the screen and it doesn't have a lot of time to compute, so having a faster computer will actually make it better at playing Mario."

Well said. But it doesn't have the same impact as watching the clip, when suddenly the idea becomes clear. And cool!

Come Back with my Protein Powder!!




Thanks (I think?) to List of the Day for sharing this hilarious little cultural gem that isn't gay at all. "NICE MUSCLE!!!"
