Not Really A Blog...Just A Link To Awesome

Haha, I love parodies! Not kidding! Here's a parody of Auto-Tune the news done by the "Annoying Orange" from YouTube. Apparently "Annoying Orange" is doing a series of parodies based off of hit YouTube channels, here's the link explaining:

I'm With Stupid

While rifling through Wired I found the most awesome web comic ever! It may be well known, I'm not sure since I just found it today. So forgive me if this is just old news. The web comic is called Alt Text 21 and seems to specialize in comics for...nerds. :) Yep, drew me right in.

This web comic centers on something I truly have a pet peeve with. People who thing other people should just agree with stupid things they believe. No this doesn't touch on political or religious topics. I'm talking everyday things like...Mac vs. PC, vegan vs. Meat-Eater, Ninjas vs. Pirates, etc. Sometimes the things are so bizarre you think were do these people come up with this stuff?! Confused?

Just watch this web comic and you will totally understand the things I'm plagued by every day...

Little Big Planet 2 Mania!

Little Big Planet: The game that made me realize that I wanted to be a game designer (well at least the concept artist) The very fact that the creators put in a platform for online players to make there own levels is UNBELIEVABLY cool. You can create anything! Or soooo I thought.
I was looking on Kotaku and saw a new video for Little Big Planet 2 called "The Controlinator". I flipped.
Basically the creators are taking the game design concept and taking it up a notch. You can actually create an object and then literally link the object to be controlled by the buttons on your controller. The possiblities are endless. People have the ability to supersede the actual designer's levels! Um, awesome!

I can't wait to sink my teeth (well, my thumbs) into this new level design program. Now if only you could design a level and then put it into your professional portfolio...but I think that would be cheating! :)

My First Youtube Experience

Okay, sooo way back in 2005 when me and the internet weren't really an item, I was sitting it study hall and a boy named David got everyone started watching "The Llama Song" This meme was literally THE FIRST experience I had with YouTube. I had never heard of the site or even dreamed of something like it. I watched the Llama song about 20 times that day. I thought it was hilarious. So that day in study hall was my first introduction to internet media outside of movie sights or school research. From there I know my second video was the Numa Numa Dance/Song. I wasn't aware of how big YouTube was going to be and I still regret not starting to Vlog or even make a YouTube account that year....

Sometimes I still feel a little left out of the loop from Freshman students I see that have had these things since Junior High! Haha...oh well, it's fun to remember when something comes into being. Even remembering how Facebook was "way back".

I love that YouTube is in existence. I've seen so many things I'd never even have dreamed of. I think of everyone in my subscription box and think...wow. Those people are awesome. And even though I spend alot of time looking at funny videos on YouTube, I have actually learned alot and meet very interesting International people!

So thanks, YouTube! And thanks Llama song for drawing me in!
