  this could be pretty good or very bad. Rhymfest is one of [...]

  Nine Inch Nails has another nin album for free. trent likes you. he doesnt like the music biz. nin has offered raw tracks to download and remix for years now, but in a trend that everyone from Radiohead to Thin Fevers uses, its great to see a stadium artist like Trent Reznor offer his work [...]

• retro gaming 2008: its old , 31 Mar 2008 in Geekery& Software& Video Games
  

  i found a nice little site that tinkers with some of the earliest of classic video games, namely pac man and space invaders. the twist is that each game has been re-tooled to either increase the difficulty level to some stupid range or to get you to play long enough for a pretty good joke [...]

  I didn’t want to bump Amy’s AWESOME interview with justin, but if you happen to have been around and/or been a fan of America’s second wave of Pro-Wrestling you may want to take a look at what the Ultimate Warrior has to say.  This dude is pretty intense. Sorry. REALLLLLY INTENSE.  In a culture that worships its [...]
