Goddesses, Politics And Porn: When Public Access TV Ruled Seattle. I'm not sure I'd say Public Access TV every really Ruled Seattle but it was definitely a large part of the local culture. Now a days things like youtube and reddit have pretty much destroyed any interest in Public Access TV but back in the 80s and 90s if you were a crackpot with a flair for entertaining it was the place to be.

Movie trivia. This is a short but sweet collection of Movie Trivia. I'm not surprised at all that Arnold would throw himself into the role of the Terminator. I'll bet when he got the part of Conan he spent months fighting real snake sorcerers.

What Do Indie Musicians Really Think About Music Streaming? Hey look it's MC Lars (and some other goofs) talking about Spotify. He once retweeted me, so yeah. I'm kind of a big deal.

The mortifying, terrifying Windows promo videos of years past. OMG my friends OMG.

But as far as Window 10 goes I've heard a lot of good things. I mean I hear it's buggy as hell right now but most people like the new interface and features. My desktop/crappy gaming rig needs a new HD, so I might shoot for a completely fresh install in a few months when I can afford a new HD AND when most of the major bugs have been worked out.

Lego Dimensions: World Collide

Here's a new trailer for that cool new Lego game that I'm probably not going to be able to afford to buy my son because there was a giant puddle of water on the floor in my garage this morning that is definitely coming from the drain pipes from the upstairs bathroom.

Have you seen how much plumbers charge? Either Christmas is canceled or we're all going to start taking showers in a bucket.

Soooo Bored

Attack on Titan Trailer

The very successful Anime & Manga, Attack on Titan, has a really cool looking live action movie coming out soon. It's Japanese, not a Hollywood remake so it has a chance of actually being pretty cool. If you can handle subtitles that is. And find a theater in the states playing it. Or I don't know.. wait until it comes to Netflix in 3 years.

‘Reading Rainbow’ Is Officially Headed For Netflix. Hey Reading Rainbow is coming to netflix! I have no idea if this is the new kickstarter backed Reading Rainbow or if it's the original show from PBS. Either way it's cool to see it on netflix.

Inside the Ghost Ships of the Mothball Fleet. This is a super old blog post but it's only recently been brought to my attention and it's cool as hell. A couple crazy kids broke into one of the Mothball Fleets where the military stores their decommissioned ships. The pictures they got are really amazing. Stealth Boat for the Win.

Adam Sandler Has Never Ruined A Movie As Much As He Ruins Pixels. Man alive I dodged a bullet here. My son has been ALL OVER Pixels. When is Pixels coming out? When can we see Pixels? What's up with Pixels? It's been nonstop for like 3 weeks. Thank goodness it tanked this weekend and all the ads for it have simply vanished. Hopefully out of sight = out of mind.

The official/unofficial Hulk Hogan racist timeline. Just in case you've heard about the Hulk Hogan thing but you still don't know what actually happened and why, this reddit post has a pretty good breakdown on what happened and when. The phrase "Never meet your heroes" seems like it was made for Hulk Hogan. "Eat your vitamins and say your prayers kids and one day you can convince your friends to let you bang their wife while they film it!"

That's Where They Get You

The Worlds Longest Water Slide is BORING

Our good friends at Action Park have put together the "worlds longest water slide". It also kind of looks like the dirtiest. What is that irrigation water they're using? Why is it rust colored. Did someone poop on the slide? Anyway, it's about half a mile long and honestly it looks kind of boring. You're like WOOOOOO for the first 20 seconds then WOOoooo for the next 30, then woooo for the final 30. They should have included some wipeout style events during the slide. Like halfway through you just get pounded by some big balls.



nope, not changing that phrasing...

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl Trailer

Hey old kids, remember Electra Woman and Dyna Girl? Well they're back, this time in web series form. It looks like it might be kinda cool. I mean I like Grace Helbig and all so I'll check it out. I'm a bit disappointed that there's going to be a bunch of swears in it. I thought this would be a fun show to watch with the kiddos. Oh well.
