In an incredible development, it appears that variation and decendants are no longer needed to explain life. It would seem that new useful mutations spread entirely by the accident of viral spreading throughout entire fauna!
So's you got those homestar fans that are all "yeah no the SBemails are the best part", except as near as I can tell, the only diff is the premise that the cartoon is the answer to someone's question. But, the weird fans are gettin' their answer, all the ol' cartoons will be better now that they get sandwitched between Strongbad commentaries!
Oh, the drive thru whale is the best thing they've ever done.
It's in theaters in a month you know... here's the newest trailer. I'm still not sure what to think... J. J. Abrams Star Trek? I mean, J. J. Abrams is great, but... well, we'll see. Can't be worse than Enterprise at least... :)
Ya know, part of reality is realizing that making friends is an important part of it. These "reality shows" seem to miss that completely. Then again, the entire point of watching them seems to be to watch idiots fight about inconsequential noise.

Clippy The Clipboard Ninja 2.5 - Sporting the new river interface.
I worked all night on this new version of my clipboard organizer, specifically on sub classing windows forms, in order to 'skin' my application, I redesigned the interface from the ground up.
Everyone one let me know what you think!
Specifically what you think of the new interface!
AGD's the group that did the unofficial remakes of KQ1 and KQ2 (unofficial, but using the same voice actor for Graham that Sierra did, and with support from Ken Williams).
Well, they apparently decided to remake their remakes. They added voice acting to each game's narration (the narrator is pretty good, but KQ6's narrator voice is still the best narrator voice ever in everything forever, but that's an unfair comparison). Further, KQ1 (the one that is a 1:1 recreation (save for the obvious changes switching to a cursor interface brings), has a new "no dead ends" mode which makes small alterations to prevent all possible scenarios that could "dead end" a player, as well as taking out the random deaths (like shoving a rock from the wrong side crushing you for no previously indicated reason). They didn't add this for their KQ2 remake, because in that case it was not anything close to 1:1 and it's practically a brand new game, one which already eliminates dead ends and tries to make you aware in advance when you're doing something or are somewhere dangerous. (Personally, I love the vast majority of their version, but I think they took too many liberties in changing some of the characters, like making Dracula downright heroic at the end and making an innocent helpful lady in the previous game a scheming magician in the new one.)
Oh, and they redrew all the background art and a lot of other art sources as well, plus adding lip synching to the characters. All in all, after playing the new versions I'd say the games both look far more professional than they did before.
