got a new drivetrain on my baby, full sugino 75, aka, full of fucking win.

want more awesome? it was saras birthday yesterday (win!), and she also found out she got a house she had been bidding on. more win and a large side of awesome.

what else is in the awesome box? oh nothing, just a bunch of Bike Week Pasadena shwag with Ipsy D’s illustrations…. WIN. (i’ll have pics of that stuff when it ready…. this is merely representative.)

until we speak again, i leave you with this mystery image… whats it for fatty?

i dunno.

… and now for something completely different….

ahh, the good old days. Yo Gabba Gabba is basically the Aquabats, a band i used to go see live all the time. tons of ska/mod references in the video: vespa in the background, the bannana is wearing a bomber jacket parka, the boy has braces (suspenders) on, the girls whole outfit is very mod, one of the toys the boy picks up is an Aquabats toy, and the orange t-shirt with the feet on em references The English Beat.

made me giggle.

in case you dont know where its from, heres the original, published by the girl herself (so even she thinks its funny).

teh hehe… the videos below

…this is christmas…

gold sprints look like fun, haven’t had a chance to catch any of em out here. and its a benefit afterall… oh yea, i did the ilustration, but you kinda figured that out already.

and now for something completely different…

fez… indy game, 2d platformer, but you can flip it around in 3d to change up the level (they start using it around the 1 min mark)… looks like fun.

i dig it.

so, i was gonna go to sleep early tonight, get up in the morning and take care of some stuff in time to meet some friends for lunch. Then i googled an upcoming WiiWare game (downloadable games for Wii) called ‘cave story’. i guess the developer is upgrading the graphics for the wii version, but a free version was available for PC/Mac.

I downloaded it, and 2 hours later i’m typing this. its good. really good. did i mention its free?

to sum it up, its a platformer (think mario bros) with some RPG/character building aspects, similar to Metroid. Its really fun, the graphics are simple, yet retain that 8-bit charm, yet very playable. oh, yea, the music is GREAT!

you can download it here, free, for PC/Mac (download the english translation patch too), and supposedly theres a DS version in the works (free too), and a WiiWare version with updated graphics (not free )

developers blog here, with previews of updated graphics

and, heres a video of some gameplay, can’t wait to unlock some more groovy weapons.

i dont like you either!  (name that movie)

no one wants to shake his hand, i wouldn’t either. no ones scared of him starting a war in their country anymore so now the true feelings come out. (love the song – from charlie brown crimmis)

comes out monday for wii
