Friday Links: Sign Language Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on March 5th, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Sign Language EditionI’m a sucker for charming short films, and this one certainly takes the cake. Sign Language – I voted for it and last I checked it had a substantial lead.

Keep reading for Ghostbusters vs. Love Game, Matchstick Minas Tirith and the most epic Quarantine Rap in the world.   read more

Friday Links: Scootaloo Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on February 26th, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Scootaloo EditionHow did I not hear about this when it was happening? This is the greatest musical ever made! I need to get one of those suits. I was going to be Cookie Monster for halloween one of these years but I think that dream has been replaced.

Keep reading for Tom Green’s rap battle, skiing down Mt. Everest and the legendary blobfish. Fear the blobfish. read more

Friday Links: Greenscreen Edition

Friday Links: Greenscreen EditionThis week’s link of the week is one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen in a while. It demonstrates the multiple uses of green screen in regular situations. It’s amazing how the most trivial things are replaced. I suppose that just shows how far computer graphics technology has come; it’s cheaper to fill in backgrounds with CGI even when it’s just a regular city street.

Keep reading for economic gangster raps, the Cubestormer, and the fall of the mighty Count Chocula (as was foretold in legend). read more

Friday Links: Raptacular Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on February 12th, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Raptacular EditionAnybody who knows me would know that I love old school action films. We’re talking about the Terminator / Commando / Robocop generation of action films. I didn’t really think the films themselves could be improved upon. But then they get their Rap tributes. Some sort of Rap Opera, or Rapsploitation. I approve.

Friday Links: Jarts Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on February 5th, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Jarts EditionThe Onion strikes again … or should I say ’struck’ considering this gem is from 2000. I thought it deserved a second look. Damn kids and their toys.

Keep reading for Guile being busted for Insurance fraud, the 12 most ridiculous things you can buy on the internet and Macquarie giving all us bankers a good name.    read more

Friday Links: Attenborough Edition

Friday Links: Cat Trap Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on January 22nd, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Cat Trap EditionThis kitten got what for. Obseve the rare hunter parrot in his natural environment. If this was a real hunt and not a simulation, no one would ever see the cat again. Fortunately for him, it’s a test run.

Keep reading for the most ridiculous Wind Waker cover, Crayola’s law and even more Kenka Bancho. Can there ever be enough?

Friday Links: Mad Science Edition

Friday Links: Mad Science EditionEpic. I don’t even know what this is, but it’s amazing. AMAZING. You want your kid to be a scientist when he/she/it grows up? Show them this photo series. Retroactive Nobel prize for awesomeness.

Keep reading for GDC: the party of the decade, Office 2010: The Movie and a double feature of whale related action. Do I mean pictures of whales, or real ‘whale on whale action?’ Only one way to find out … read more

Friday Links: Fever Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on January 8th, 2010No Comments

Friday Links: Fever EditionHere we are in the first week of the new year. Does the internet still stack up or did its quality fall off a cliff post 2009? You be the judge.

Hilarious man knows how to clear out a cafe or park. How did I not think of this? I haven’t figured out how to make money off this yet, but there has to be some way. Also, less funny is the behind the scenes video where the other guy on the phone actually shows up and beats the wrong people to death.

Keep reading for iPhone controlled RC drones, hipster timelines and the return of Travolta. read more

Friday Links: Thursday Edition

in Blog, Friday Links by LAS on December 24th, 2009No Comments

Friday Links: Thursday EditionFriday Links on Thursday? Outrageous! Believe me, I’m as disappointed in myself as you all are. This kicks off some fun Holiday festivities, however, which include a break until the New Year as I travel to the vast wasteland known as Boston. Read on for The Dirty Dozen, Gay Thug Dating and some crazy WiiWaa shit (I don’t understand it either).

Then get ready for 2010. We’ll kick it off with the games you should be anticipating, and then return to your normal programming (all horse pornography all the time). read more

    My name is Luke Stillman and Backhand of Justice is my take on all things videogame. I've been inspecting ventilation shafts, liberating princesses and dying of dysentery since my first game in 1988. Stay a while and listen.
