Human Plague

The Earth is sick. What are you going to do about it?

Enjoy this entertaining short film that reminds me of when Agent Smith, in the Matrix, compares humanity to a virus. The animation is pretty cool and it gets you to thinking.

The Simpsons Game

The Simpsons Game: Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa use new powers to save Springfield.

The Simpsons Game features a hilarious, sprawling and brain-busting storyline based on the popular TV show. To help the Simpsons battle through the levels, gamers must journey through Springfield and other well known locations from the show. The ever talented writers from the show packed this game with parodies and satire of the video game industry, pop culture and current events. The game comes out this November and you’ll find a version of it for whatever platform you play. WooHoo!

I’m not sure if I’ll be getting the Wii or the Nintendo DS version of this action-comedy game, but either way I don’t expect to come close to finishing the game. The special powers that each of the Simpsons characters have look pretty clever. I like the Homerball which has a bloated Homer rolling around a la Katamari Damacy.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics by Adam Koford (aka Ape Lad).

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats - Let me show you them. The first time I saw the silly and creative artwork by Ape Lad was with the 700 Hoboes Project. Now his Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics are entertaining folk everywhere. I really enjoy his sepia tone view of the world with the antics of those grammatically challenged cats, Kitteh and Pip. His old-timey artistic style gives you a real feeling of yesteryore. Enjoy the Original Laugh-Out-Loud Cats film and you’ll swear it was 19 aught 2 again.

Marzipan is So Smart

Seriously, Marzipan, how do you get so smart?

Marzipan enjoys some quality time with Homestar’s cardboard doppelganger, while he’s on “vacation”. So now it’s time to spend some Quality Time with Cardboard Homestar. I think that cardboard Homestar is even sillier than the Cardboard Marzipan which we first saw in Happy Fireworks. Speaking of happy days - Congrats on the new Baby Chaps! Now each of the Chapman brothers has a kid!
