I should have taking a picture of this, but stupid me didn't think to..

I found a old bowl of beans in my frig that was at-least a year old.. The fungus growing on it was about a 6 inches high.. It was like a god damn mini fungus universe. :barf:

Yay? So yeah, it's not a flag I guess, but why the angle? Actually here's a different contemporary design.

That's snazzy with a flat look, soft curves, friendly monotone color and... oh wait that's not a recent mock up? That's the Windows logo from the 80's for Windows 1.0? Huh...

As to the top one, they paid a top firm to slap that together. Unbelievable... Hey let's see what happens if I take that logo and turn it.. recolor...

Bam! New XBox logo. It's an X, it's boxes (or even a gift box wrapped up with ribbon), it's "flat, monotone friendly", it's identifiable. So why doesn't someone get a million for that? Oh right, the main "brand" a brand designer sells is their OWN to justify their existence.

Just in case none of you have seen these yet...

That'd be crazy, but pretty cool, if it happened...

At least, female astronauts haven't seen any of the vision degradation that apparently some male ISS astronauts have, in the 6 month to 1 year stays they've had. The article (below) is an interesting article, this isn't a spaceflight problem I had ever considered before but it's another one we'll have to deal with, obviously.

The title says it all..
The acting was horrible
The story was a unfinished retardcaism..
And the action.. Well lets face it it was pretty boring...

Really, even the fact that ILM did the special effects wasn't enough to save this movie..
How does this guy keep winning AWARDS!! They need stop it! Their just encouraging him to make more films..

Not that I'm getting it, given that I don't have the consoles and don't know if it'll be any good, but this trailer is pretty funny...

That is, the service they had in Japan to allow people to get downloadable copies of games they owned that they could play on the Vita, however precisely it works (I'm not sure). It's going to be a Japan-only program.

... Yeah, it's far from unexpected -- honestly, I'm not surprised at all -- but still it's very stupid... so yeah, the Vita's expensive, requires an overpriced memory card to completely use (or to download games to), and has no way to play your games you own on disc, period. Rebuy the ones that are available on PSN. How nice.

Seems that the 5th GB Megaman is selling for some sort of insane amount these days... I'm glad I got mine long ago. I guess the word of mouth on how good this one was is spreading.
