Friday Links: Hoighty Toity Tippy Typer EditionYou should see my face when Americans call a breaddystack a sandwich. Pish posh.

Keep reading for Canada’s new bank notes, the card wizard and the Fantastic and Inglorious Mr. Fox.

Videogame Links

Interesting

Sometimes you know you have a good thing coming together – like this rendition of the Zelda themes.

Modern game debacle – Uncharted 3 with an 8.5 is at LEAST as big of an atrocity as the holocaust.

Funny

How to conquer a dragon in Skyrim. There are so many good elements to this comic.

I have brought great shame to my family

Which Zeruda do you want? Foolish fans.

Canada’s new bank notes have some crazy security shit going on.

The Queen still rules over Canada with an iron fist

Marathon time check. Anybody who runs on a treadmill knows what it’s like to push it to 12.6mph – shit is scary.

Strange and insane guitar skills. Has its good moments, for sure.

James Martin 952 on countdown like a boss. Impressive … most impressive.

Downhill skateboarding tournament. When they show the close-ups of the road they’re skating down, I’m surprised there isn’t a 100% death rate.

The card wizard. At first I was like – ok I can’t understand what they’re saying here, but it morphs into some english as you go.

The branch dog cam with roll cam. This guy looks completely insane. Or not very intelligent.

What is it like to drive a car going 462 mph? Pretty scary, I would imagine.

Even though I haven’t read the books, I still think the Hunger Games trailer looks pretty badass. I’ll probably see it.

The Jeopardy daily double double, the daily quadruple, like a boss.

That Airbus A320 is pretty agile especially when there’s a giant headwind available.

Click this link to know what it’s like to be a helicopter. And look around.

The flexible folding chair. I love the way everybody is so hesitant to sit down on it. Not much of a chair, but hey – it’s still pretty cool.

Disney looks like it’s going back to some good films. This one has potential.

The last few offerings from Disney have been ... how do I put this gently ... fucking terrible?

Time lapse flyover of Earth from the international space station.

Funny

Free mall makeup session. Not quite what they were hoping for.

This door to door sales guy  has a pretty frenetic routine. That would be really tough to keep up on a consistent basis.

The Fantastic and Inglorious Mr. Fox. Mel Gibson’s final hurrah.

I have brought great shame to my family

Ugly dance emulator. I know all of these and plan to break them out during the next session at the club.

This robbery is some Ocean’s 11 shit with a helicopter, ropes etc. Good times, potato salad.

That's some Ocean's 11 type shit right there

I was elected to lead, not to read! Herman Cain, meet McBain. I like where this is going.

That’s all for this week. Did I miss anything? Hit up the comments!

    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.
