Hey everyone, hope you all had as much fun with the Olympics as I did (Canada won by the way, what what!?). I guess it’s time to get back into the swing of things now that they are done though. The first link I will feature for our return is a great new music video by OK Go entitled This Too Shall Pass, which it most certainly does! (btw, I’m sure I’ve miss-spelled Rup Goldberg but that’s just fine for a first post since break!)
Thanks to Tom for keeping up with us, even on our Olympic hiatus and sending this awesome video in.
For Valentines Day I decided I should make something my girlfriend had never had before. Turns out she’s never had Manicotti. I went to my family cookbook and found a great recipe from my Uncle Yvon, which involved cooking for a few hours for her. Perfect. Hit the jump for a picture of the finished product and a full recipe to making my Uncle Yvon’s Manicotti from scratch.
This year has proven to be quite a drag on Superbowl ads in my professional opinion! The Superbowl ads consisted of a sexually driven ad (courtesy of GoDaddy) the normal barrage of movie trailers (Robin Hood, Prince of Persia and Wolfman included) and about a dozen commercials for TV shows on CBS. BORING! I must say the biggest disappointment was the sheer lack of funny ads. There were a few funny ads but overall I think the Lame-to-Awesome-ratio was too high for what I’m used to, being me and all. Hit the jump for the whole list of video’s worth watching or watch them all at adblitz’s YouTube channel.
EA is releasing a game later this quarter called Dante’s Inferno which is getting a lot of sub-advertising it seems… Wonder if it’s going to be any good. EA has set up multiple websites and hidden tricks and hints all over the interwebs regarding their next big game. Recently digg.com had a little hidden trick up its sleve in its source code. Screenshot above of the ASCII Art that was embeded into the source. I did some digging (no pun intended) and found the site it pointed to required 5 additional passwords to the one that is with the image above, but I located them!

Hey Everyone, today is the first of Feb, which means that if you put the date in proper day month year format it becomes a palindrome. Happy Palindrome Day! 01 02 2010!
I dont think I could say it any better than the orignal artist:
A bit of background for the non-gamers: in the late 1990s, there was a series of multiplayer games called Worms (Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, etc etc). Each player controlled a team of cute worms and took turns to try to annihilate each other by arming their own worms with a selection of outlandish and hilarious weapons. Crazy cartoon carnage ensued. Worms has recently made a comeback with new releases for consoles and iPhone, but 1999’s Worms Armageddon on PC is still a great game too.
Amazing work planetjune! Hit the jump for one more picture and a link to the flickr gallery.
G’morning everyone, Hope you had a great weekend, lets get the week started with something really sweet! I just wish my girlfriend had the guts to try this with me…
