Blog: Peep Jousting XTREME

Blog: May 5th, 2009

Peep Jousting. It’s a dangerous game of marshmallow chickens, broken microwaves and a vast amount of post-Easter free time.

Reader NeoMikey sends along his video exposé into the dark, underground world of XTRREEM Peep Jousting. Warning: the footage you are about to see may be delicious.

I tried it out myself and was slightly disappointed it wasn’t as explosive as the comic promised (they just poke each other, really). However, I knew there was video potential in this “underground sport,” and that’s when I put this video together, which just was uploaded today. I hope you enjoy it!

Remember, the first rule of Peep Jousting is OM NOM NOM.

Fan Art: Cross-stitch pixel art

Breakpoint Sweet BreakpointHey cool! Kevin sent over this pic of pixel Dan, counted cross stitched out in real-world form. Old school meets the real old school! Y’know, I never thought I’d get fan art in a different medium.  Throwing down the gauntlet now: if someone wants to attempt a sculpted mashed potato Zaltor, go for it man.

Nostalgia CriticHe remembers it, so you don’t have to!â„¢

I’m a big fan of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, and by far his greatest stuff comes from his weekly Nostalgia Critic videos.

Animation seems to fall within the critic’s crosshairs more often than not, which of course cuts right to my geeky core. It’s great to see stuff like The Pagemaster or Captain Planet get the beatings they truly deserve. And his top 11 lists (he likes to go one step beyond) have introduced me to a few movies I’d otherwise not have known existed. The Critic’s videos are funny, informative, and definitely something to look forward to every Wednesday.
