White Ninja, about a White Ninja who gets into many random adventures, and is very random. It just plain kicks ass! It's updated every Tuesday and Saturday.

White Ninja.

Enjoy!

Yes, there's an entire webcomic devoted to pixels and their image making capabillities. I must say, it's a must for Pixel Artists to read.  It's called Pixel, and can be found here.

Enjoy!

I'm sure we're all well aware of the amazing pixel art exploits of eBoy so I don't need to tell you all how amazing the cityscapes are.

Here's the new Cologne poster and some other random city scenes.

Hard to not to smile while playing through this beautiful and simple puzzle game. Reminds me of a low-tech Katamari Damacy (in a good way) or my all time favorite interactive portfolio design found here.

World of Warcraft developer Blizzard shut down 18,000 accounts a few days ago mostly for selling virtual items or gold for real cash money on sites like eBay.

This is a really interesting move since this type of activity tends to go on in just about every MMORPG and no other developer has really done anything about it.  Did Blizzard do the right thing?

We plan on rolling out a web chat tool sometime soon where everyone can hang out and chit chat (similar to IRC except through your web browser) and we need some beta testers. All you have to do is play around with it for a bit and report any bugs/performance issues.

If you are interested please PM sedgemonkey or post your interest in the comments section of this news item. Please indicate what internet browser and operating system you use.  Thanks!

This SNL produced day-in-the-life Parnel/Samberg rap about a day out to see The Chronicles of Narnia sums up what an everyday person's rap video might look like. No magnum of champagne pouring over a girl's chest, no grinding in front of the mansion, no million dollar bling -- just straight up life. Great stuff.

Apparently Robin Williams is a big gamer. He's been playing as the sniper class in the ultra-addictive Battlefield 2. Oh, what a joy it would be to plunge a virtual knife into Mork's back.

Robots can officially replace me at work. Those sons of bitches at Honda continue to improve that little rascal Asimo and they've got the video to prove it.  Asimo can now run at 6 km/h, push carts around, receive/carry/drop a tray and his spiffy little "turn on the spot" move is the envy of robots everywhere.

MIT Professor Henry Jenkins throws in his two cents as to why video games are not the devil.  I concur.

It sounds like a mixed drink you would get at one of those sleezy clubs. But it isn't. It's a description of a new London-based Ninja Squirrel Clan that has reportedly been sighted while bringing down a large stray dog in a Russian park located in the town of Lazo, Russia.

For more information, see the report the BBC did on this incident.

Cool 3D movie about a monk who freaks out at some viking folks. Er. Check it out.

Ed. Note:  The above movie link is a hefty 38 MB. You've been warned.

Why Microsoft rejected this ad featuring some straight up good old fashioned cowboy goodness is a mystery to me.  Hmmm, maybe it's the whole "glorifying violence" thing.

This brilliant Motorola ad sweeps through a slew of classic flicks with a flexible bunny tour guide.  A must see.
