Go Team Pandy!

Get your elementary school mind out of the gutter! I’m talking about a pretty simple, yet enjoyable online game called:

Ball Toucher

View these chalk drawings and prepare to be amazed. I haven’t had a chance to look at them at home on my sweet ass monitor yet, but I can already tell that they are insane. The shots with "incorrect angles" that reveal the true scope of the work are what really make an impact.

The webhost I use is Dreamhost. Part of the reason I like them so much is that the people that run the company are hillarious. Reading the montly email updates and the Dreamhost Blog often result in some good laughs. A pretty good example of this is a recent post sharing some angry voice mails. This guy was apparently super pissed off that some guy at something.dreamhost.com was sending them tons of email and he was going to give them what they deserved. The accent is what really made it all worth it.

So I just realized the reason that red/white/gray theme is weak is that it is so broken you can’t even leave comments. Dude needs to do some major work on that shit! So now I’m trying this one out. It’s kind of pretty.

Storm the House

I just came across this game written in flash where you basically shoot down stick figure men invading this house. Like many things on the web, it’s amazing how you can get sucked into such things. I recommend checking out, but read the instructions…well just know this: Spacebar = Reload

Reaction Speed

The BBC is hosting a fun little flash game that tests your reaction speed by putting sheep to sleep. That’s right, the tables have turned on those sheep! Now you get to shoot those bastards with a tranquilizer dart whenever they try to make a run for it. I managed to get an average of time .1894 seconds. That makes me a “rapid rabbit” or something like that.

When I was little, my neighbor had a rubberband gun. I thought it was the coolest most awesome thing in the world. I was riding my bike around and thought it’d be an awesome idea if I rode around really fast and they tried to shoot me with the rubberband guns. I apparently thought that I could ride really fast and that they would have horrible aim because what happened was that I got shot in the face at somewhat close range and ended up crying.

If the neighbor kid had one of these, I probalby would have been smart enough to come up with that game. That or I would have thought I was dying.

Seriously, congressman need to get some people to explain to them that the internet isn’t a series of tubes and that pretty much every website has a “social” element to them these days.

Yaeka and I are doing a new podcast called The Pitchfork Report and just wrapped up putting out the second one. I think we’ve managed to make pretty big strides on this one greatly improving over yesterday’s release that saw some understandable criticism.

Check it out at pitchforkreport.com and let me know what you think.
