now if only they made nike air max 95s in this colorway, id have to make room in my closet for another shoebox.

time to spit some game… tomorrow

first of all, i have to say sorry for the lack of updates this week. you see, little big planet arrived last saturday, and ive spent a lot of my free time running, jumping, swinging, and creating. it is quite excellent. definitely a must-buy if you have a ps3.

rating: 5/5 angry ninjas

okay now that we got that out of the way, tomorrow is halloween, and heres how that shakes out

• as a kid, that meant you got to dress up as your favorite super hero/princess and run around your neighborhood asking for candy.
• as a teen, it meant you got to get dressed in all black and go around egging/toilet papering peoples houses.
• as a 20-something year old, it means you get to put on all sorts of sexually deviant clothing and try to attract the attention of a member of the opposite sex.

for guys, this means dressing up as

• spartan from 300 if you have the guns and the abs
• dick in a box if you dont

for the ladies, youve got the options of

• sexy kitten
• school girl
• naughty nurse

now halloween is one of those occasions where everybody goes out. it doesnt matter if your single, in a relationship, or in a coma. youll see everyone out at halloween parties, meaning if your single, this is the perfect place to meet members of the opposite sex.

sadly, other singles dont travel alone, so that sexy kitten or spartan youve been eyeing all night? well she or he comes attached to the hip with that ugly betty two face - and youre not even sure if ugly betty or two face is wearing a costume.

this is when you need a grenade jumper. what is that you ask? well a grenade jumper is one of your friends who will jump on ugly betty or two face, occupying their time and buying them drinks so that you can talk to the sexy kitten or spartan.

we salute you brave grenade jumpers - making the land safe for single people everywhere.

have fun and be safe out there everyone.

little big planet angry ninja sackboy t shirts

boo. little big planet has been delayed. i was really looking forward to playing the game this weekend and creating some awesome levels - some that include jumping, swinging, fires, spikes, snakes, robots, missiles, cars - the whole nine.

trust me, i know how to make a good video game level - ive been studying up on the subject.

the main character, sackboy, looks pretty awesome, so how does this delay make me feel? pretty much like the angry ninja sackboy on the t shirts below. so while you cant enjoy the game yet, you can enjoy these t shirts.

megaman 9 makes me feel like this…

except for the urge to throw my controller through the wall (angry little ninja).

a video game history lesson + super awesome megaman t shirt

video games were painful back in the day. you see, before developers were able to put video games on cds, dvds, and blu ray discs - all which have abundant storage space, they had to cram them into cartridges. these cartridges were pretty primitive and could not hold very much information, which is why back in the day graphics and music were so horrible.

now i could easily deal with crappy graphics and the music grew on me, i was a kid back then, and hdtv, hdmi cables, 1080p, dolby and digital surround sound were all very far into the future. what i couldnt deal with was how frustrating games were in the 80s and 90s. you see, typically, a gamer is satisfied with about 20-30 hours of play time on a single game, or they feel cheated out of their $60. now this is not a problem because developers can simply make the game longer, since the media (dvd and blu ray now) has so much capacity.

back in the day, this was impossible with cartridges. they simply couldnt just add more length to a game, so instead, they made games nearly impossible, especially for little kids. i mean, i never beat super mario brothers until i was in college - too much hand-eye coordination needed.

i was reminded of this when playing megaman 9 (just released on ps3). see, instead of updating the game, capcom brought it back to its roots, so what you have is a level-wise short, but impossible game. how impossible you ask? lets just say that i died 3 times without making it past the first level. i almost threw my dualshock 3 into my hdtv in frustration.

which brings me to todays megaman inspired t shirt design. megaman sucks - not the game, but the character himself. he is weak, starts out every game with a dinky pea shooter, and every single bad guy is stronger, faster and takes more trickeries to beat.

this would not have happened if say, the game centered around mega ninja man. i mean with mega ninja man i could probably finish the game off and kill all the baddies in like 2 hours.

side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.
