Why David Letterman Is Clearly Superior to Jay Leno

I’d always known David Letterman was better than Jay Leno, but after he implemented a new feature I like to call the “Kevin Eubanks Laugh Clip,” David Letterman is the only late night talk show host (besides Conan ‘o Brien).

Basically, David tells a joke, then they show a clip of Kevin Eubanks laughing like a dumbass. Pure brilliance.

Galbadia Hotel = More Video Game Music/Art Than You Can Handle!

xenosaga-art-book.jpg

Via Kotaku, I discovered what seems to be the biggest stash of nerd-centric video game paraphernalia this side of the Pacific! Galbadia Hotel has it all: MP3s, MIDI, Sheet Music, Artbooks, even freaking commercials! And some are really old and cool! I was going to go somewhere for Spring Break, but it appears I’ll be plastered to my computer downloading MP3s and whatnot. I always wanted to know how to play “Suteki da Ne” on the piano…
If you don’t believe me that they have everything: They have the freakin’ Ducktales (NES) Original Soundtrack! Don’t tell me you weren’t looking for that!

Now, if I had to guess the legality of this awesome site, I’d have to say it’s entirely illegal! But I’m not hosting this crap, they are! So for now, enjoy the wonders of Galbadia Hotel and all they offer. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave! Nor will you ever want to.

Real Life Simpsons?

No, it’s not really a new series, just a promo for the newest season of the Simpsons.

The Sun Online Reports:

A balding actor plays Homer as he leaves work dropping some nuclear waste out of the window on the way home.

While a baby girl copies the scene where Lisa appears to be driving Marg’s car.

The opening montage ends with the whole family squeezed on the settee ready to watch the cartoon version of the show.

Interesting promo. I still think The Simpsons sucks though. Ever since Conan quit…

The IT Crowd

So I downloaded this show called “The IT Crowd.” It’s some kind of British sitcom based on two guys and a girl in the IT department of a big company. In case you don’t know, “IT” stands for “Information Technology” and basically means the department that fixes all the computer problems and controls the technology of a company. Yes, this show is geared towards nerds.

The two guys are computer nerds, and the new girl knows nothing about computers. Blatant stereotypes aside, this show is very smart. The mise-en-scene in the basement has random computer parts everywhere, and geeks in the know will recognise the EFF stickers posted on pretty much everything.

The great part about this show is that on top of being funny, it’s also super random. I guess the British have a better appreciation for random crazy humor than Americans. My only major gripe has to do with the addition of a laugh track. I don’t need people telling me when to laugh!

It seems to have a very limited target audience, but hopefully this show will keep going for a long long time.

(You can find The IT Crowd at your friendly neighborhood bittorrent tracker)

And now for the random picture of the day… What I believe to be the Home Improvement DVD set in German! Der Komplette Erste Staffel even! Enjoy.
