So I had a dream about Majhost last night

Yeah.   It was really brief, but apparently the owners had just merged it with Brickshelf all those years ago instead of taking it offline but nobody had realized, and all you had to do was append something to the Brickshelf URL to access all of it.   I miss Majhost.

Olly olly Oxenfree

Just watched someone (Coestar) play Oxenfree, and I have to say I am very impressed by it. Visually, I get the same impression as I get from FEZ: the base graphics are very simple, but what the game does with and to those graphics make it look very impressive. Story-wise it's a very interesting take on a supernatural plot, and I didn't really know what's going on until the end… and even then not entirely.   This isn't really a review because I didn't play it, but I found it interesting. So wh

Zootopia

Finally got around to seeing it a couple of days ago. And then again yesterday. And then again tonight.   (My Netflix trial runs out today, so had to get a few viewings in while I could.)   I'd looked up the story a while ago because I was kinda eh on whether or not I'd end up seeing it, so I mean it didn't exactly blow my mind in that respect, but even so the plot is intriguing. And pretty much everything about it was great, especially the character animation and voice work.   Only significa

Digimon Frontier

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o62cngRy0qI   Frontier was the first Digimon series I ever saw, at least in any significant or memorable way. Probably because of that it was my favorite, though Digimon Tamers just barely edged it out years later when I watched it. Frontier still wins for nostalgia though, which is probably the opposite to how the people who started with Adventure and Adventure 02 see it.   I also really like the theme song. To me it almost sounds like something you'd hear in B

Double joints

Of the sort you'd see on action figures and such. They provide a better range of articulation on, for example, a knee than a single joint would.   I guess this could be that in LEGO form. Obviously it's possible to do something equivalent with two ball pieces or the super-short double socket piece, but thanks to the meshing gears this would only have one degree of freedom so the motion is smooth, rather than having to position the two pivots separately. The tradeoff is it probably isn't as easy

Cataclysm!

I get going on weird creative jags like this and suddenly it's past 3 AM and this is why my sleep cycle is awful.

Ghostbusters

I saw the original one once, and the scene I remember most is the part where they're driving across the bridge discussing the apocalypse and one of the guys is like "this is too much doom and gloom" and turns on the radio to some epic drum machines.   So I was disappointed at the lack of big cheesy drum machines in the new Ghostbusters movie.   Other than that, though, I can't really think of any part of it I disliked.   Also, Holtzmann is the best character.

"… let's just expand the universe a little bit, shall we?"

Been watching a lot of stuff from Star Wars Celebration.   Dave Filoni is such a master troll and I love him so much. Especially what he shared at the Ahsoka panel, that's some pretty amazing stuff.   Rebels, though.         Season 3 looks to be a good one.

A Creeper of Creepers

208 of my recently acquired Creeper head blocks.   (The other side being a Creeper face made of faces on a green backdrop vs. this Creeper face made of green on a backdrop of faces.)

It's gonna get a little weird, gonna get a little wild

(gonna have a GOOD TIME)   So I started watching Star vs. the Forces of Evil, since it was on after Gravity Falls.   It's like if you took My Life as a Teenage Robot and replaced the robot theme with magic. Doesn't disappoint.   (The characters are so adorable. Especially Marco.)

Revolution

I had entered a board game design into Hasbro's recent game contest, and this is what it'd look like and how it'd move. Didn't make it past submission phase (though they were nice enough to send an email to those not selected so we wouldn't be left in suspense) so I'm sharing it.   Basically the game is based on a planetary gear system where the outer annular gear is the board's base and the sun and planet gears make up most of the playing area, with the connections filled in on the rotating ca

The DJ Kumo mask (exclusive lost footage)

Not really.   Well, sorta.   Recorded a whole series of videos back when I did this (2013!) explaining much of the process and idea behind what I did. I doubt I'll ever put them out there, it's lots of dead air and ums and ahs and redundant or unimportant information. This is probably the one big thing worth sharing, which is the Arduino sketch I wrote to accompany the song "Disco Lights" by Alex S. and PinkiePieSwear from the big Balloon Party collaboration album. I liked it, but after runni

Prime Time

After working on this all year, I've reached the primer application stage, which is often the point where it starts to look like the finished product. This is exciting.

Bow in hand

Oh nooooo, I've started to work up a character concept based on that leg. ;__;   Oh well, I guess I'l just be wholly unsatisfied with myself until I actually build it or I get distracted by another idea.

The best breakfast sandwich I've ever had

Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 russet potato shredded cheese 2 pretzel buns onion   Yields 2 sandwiches.     Clean and shred the potato. Don't bother peeling it.   Dice the onion. Use about half as much onion as you have potato shreds.   Beat both eggs, either separately or with some way to have them be two equal portions.   Place potato and onion in a hot pan (around medium temperature, depends on stove and burner size) and cook until potato becomes translucent.   Once cooked, remove from pan. Mix shred
