Cool Game

Cool Game

“Is that a Steam Greenlight game?”

–ME–

I’m at my parent’s house for the holidays! My main goal is to hook up my NES to my childhood 13 inch TV and play some Mega Man. Then, maybe hook up my Genesis and play some Toe Jam & Earl. And then maybe the Playstation. Oh man, I should play them all.

Also, yeah, I didn’t own the SNES or the N64. I was not a Nintendo kid and boy do I have some regrets. All ragrets.

Pub Trivia

by Wes + Tony
Matt.crespi

I'm still celebrating my college win at New Deck with Ben and Bill.

He won a hat, and didn't lose it until six whole months later!

Pub Trivia was never my strong suit, because my best category was always Beer Drinking. And after slurping a couple of cold ones down, the only thing I want to do is write down “answers” that I think will upset the host. Then I block out the world around me and study his face as he goes through each square of paper… that one’s mine! I recognize it immediately, I folded into a tight, obnoxious little square. But not too tight! I don’t want him to throw it out. It’s a chore, but a chore that’s just lightweight enough that you’ll grumble and do it anyway. The paper unfolds. Part one of my plan is a success. The gears are lubed. The misery machine is ready to crank. The host reviews the question in his head, “Who portrayed Archie Bunker in the top-rated 1970s sitcom, All in the Family?” The host squints to read my square. The paper is wet, the room is dim, and my cheap-beer-drunken handwriting is a hatchet-faced massacre. After much effort, the words finally slide into focus. “Shit Burritoe.” He can’t process it. Not right away, at least. Maybe it’s the unnecessary “e” in “burrito.” His eyes don’t move, but you can see his mind do a double-take. Not the sexy lady kind of double-take. The sad kind. The “I hope someone checks to see if that homeless man is dead, but it’s not going to be me” kind of double-take. He swallows a sigh, and casually folds the paper in an effort to disguise the blatant subversion of his sacred trivia system. The bar can’t know. It would be the end of everything. But I haven’t won yet. No, not until he puts that square into his pocket. It’s out of the running, and it’s accidentally in his pants the next time he wears them. It’s a week later. He’s parked outside a kitchenware store, searching for a quarter to feed the meter. He finds a square of trash in his pocket. What’s this? He opens it. “Shit Burritoe.” He turns pale. Now I’ve won.

Me too.

And if clicking on any word pops up a site-search for articles about that word, I will close all windows in a panic and never come back.

I never thought of it this way...


Geeks! For a limited time, we have some signed SMBC Books in the store. We only have a few, since these are from leftover inventory I signed at SDCC. So, if you want a signed book, now's the time. Thanks!

Science-Based 7 Minute Exercise

by Alex Santoso
Matt.crespi

Science friends: is this legit? Comedian friends: I need some funny stuff to say when I break a chair doing #5 or #7, to save face.

We know, we know. We should exercise more. But who has the time to go to the gym?

American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness journal just squashed that excuse with this: a set of 12 exercises with only body weight, a chair and a wall that takes only 7 minutes of your life. Best of all, it's all based on science, as Gretchen Reynolds of the New York Times' Well Blog summarized:

“There’s very good evidence” that high-intensity interval training provides “many of the fitness benefits of prolonged endurance training but in much less time,” says Chris Jordan, the director of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, Fla., and co-author of the new article. [...]

The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done.

Bringing Out the Weapons of Mass Apple Destruction

This is a good starter joke for people who are bad at telling jokes. Simple, clean, short, and amusing.

This is as true today as when it was written 20 years ago. (If anything, the problem has gotten worse.)
