Guilty Pleasures
What’s your favorite guilty comfort food?
Mine is General Foods International “Coffee” mix. Let’s just get this out of the way, it’s not coffee. Even though it contains coffee, it bears no actual resemblance to that which you might think of as coffee, as one might say, it’s a drink not quite, but almost entirely unlike coffee. Its primary ingredient is sugar, followed by non-dairy creamer.
I’m a serious coffee snob. I’m the target audience for espresso flights at miserably overpriced yuppie restaurants. There was a time when I’d order coffee fresh from my favorite east coast roaster via express mail, and when I wasn’t doing that, I’d drive an hour and a half each way every week to buy fresh beans from a local place.
…and yet I love this godawful stuff that poses as coffee. I’ve got a cup of it right now.
…yeah, I dunno either.
Okay, this is now my favorite game ever.
Super Mario Bros. with alternative characters, complete with the original 8-bit music for each character. It’s not just awesome. It’s Awesome-Tastic!
Mint and I were talking about classic games the other day, and we agree, the reason we still enjoy them so much is not just nostalgia, though of course that’s part of it. It’s because old-school games are still fun, despite the leaps and bounds technology has taken, they’re still entertaining, and even after all these years they’re still challenging, (at least to us non-3733t g4m3rz, yo). Three decades later it still retains its playablity, wow.
…also, I do not think I have ever heard the studio version of “Psycho Killer” until now. (Hey, I’ve seen David Byrne live twice. I just really prefer Stop Making Sense to their studio stuff. So sue me.) Stop Making Sense, totally an album with lasting appeal. JUST LIKE SUPER MARIO BROTHERS. See? I tied it all together.
My whole life is ruined thanks to this video…
Thanks a lot, Jazzy.
No, seriously, this is probably the most wrong and hilarious 80’s thing ever made. It starts off wrong, and just gets worse and worse and worse.
…and now I want a Butterfinger, too. FML.
Well, this is terrifying…
…and, yanno, not so far off if net neutrality isn’t fixed ASAP.
╮(⊙‸°)╭
…right, so now I want a cat AND an iPad.
