World's Hardest Game

Today it's World's Hardest Game. Now, I'm not saying this is the world's hardest game. It's not that it's not challenging, it is, but that's the title. I'd say it lives up to it pretty well. My only tip is patience. You're scored on deaths, not on time.

This game was made by Snubby Land. They have some other games on there too. I rather enjoy the hand drawn graphics on Super Tank.

Hulu.com

This one's a little less geeky than my usual fare, but I had to include it because it's a really good site. Hulu features free videos. Sure, there's ads here and there, but they have TV shows, full movies, and clips. All that Saturday Night Live stuff you can't see on YouTube anymore? They have tons of SNL clips. Your favorite Daily Show and Colbert Report clips? They have that too. Excerpts from E3? Yup. Want to watch Ghostbusters, or Monty Python's Meaning of Life? They have the whole movie, and a bunch more. Full episodes of Heroes, or Firefly? You get the idea.

You don't need a login unless you want to watch NSFW stuff, and sign up is free.

Unfortunately, Hulu is only available to US residents, according to their sign up page. But hey, if you're in the US, and you want to watch something, check it out.

Homestar Runner

Looks like I took the week off last week. I'm going to ease back in with an easy one. Homestar Runner. I think most of the internet has seen Homestar, but for those who are new, or maybe unlucky enough to have not found it by now, here it is. There's a "First time here?" button on the right side of the front menu. Make sure you click on that. Homestar Runner has a lot of inside jokes and running gags, so if you don't get it at first, watch a few and things will become more clear.

Oh, did I forget to mention what Homestar Runner is? It's a lovely site featuring cartoons based on a children's book made as a joke. The favorite of the site is the "Strong Bad Emails" section, in which the villain of the book answers emails.

Will It Blend?

Will It Blend is a site filled with videos of unusual objects being decimated in a blender. It was created by Blendtec to promote their line of blenders. Tom Dickson, Blendtec founder, stars in each episode alongside the Blendtec Total Blender, a piece of machinery more like a chipper-shredder than a blender. Seriously. He blends a rake. It's awesome. There's also a section for blender projects to try at home, but the unsafe ones are the real treat. I love the one where he blends glow sticks.

You're the man now, dog!

You may remember the trailer for the film Finding Forrester, which introduced us several years ago to the wonder that is Sean Connery using urban slang. In the wake of this amazing occurrence, the original YTMND was formed. Since then, the official YTMND website has been the home of many crazy YTMNDs made by various people across the tubes. I'll link a few so you can get the idea:

Indiana Jones Can't Stop the Rock

YTMNDs often lead to spin-offs (One for Nethack fans)

Of course, Captain Picard is a popular topic...

Whether he's teaching art class...

Or just having a good time.

Professor X had One Weakness...

You get the idea. Go comb through the madness yourself.

Spamusement

I stumbled on this one a few years ago. It hasn't been updated for a while, but it still has a lot of hilarious content. Spamusement is a bunch of comics drawn based on those nonsensical spam subject lines. My favorite is Upgrade Your Brain with Brain Bullet.

KHAAAN!

Today's will be short but strange. These websites have been around for at least 100 years, yet if you don't know to go looking for them, you probably won't find them. I don't think these need any explanation.

(For some reason, the sound cut out when I went to zombo.com today. If there's no sound, it's not funny, so don't blame me if it's silent and seems stupid.)
