A Common Feeling

Don't we all...

Not just any kind of knife, too.

Now how will we play our church music?

NRAO wallpaper and the size of Outlands

After finally becoming bored of my months old Aperture Labs wallpaper, and inspired by a recent trip to the Very Large Array (VLA) / National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), I decided to whip up some new VLA wallpaper.

From a picture at the VLA

Building on my previous post, I also put used the same process in the Outlands to find their size. For the convenience of metric – haters, I have converted the final measurements into miles as well as kilometers. [Ampaire]

The Size and Physics of Azeroth

I know that this isn’t the first post online to deal with the size of Azeroth (World of Warcraft), but I believe my approach to the problem is unique insofar as I know. If this was a scientific publication, I believe I would call it:

Estimation of the Size of Azeroth, based on the extrapolation of known sizes of objects (and its implications).

Fun with Revit Architecture 2009

After one extremely bad drawing of an Icosahedron (D20) resembling a house, getting a student version of Revit Architecture 2009, and one extremely boring evening, I have done Wizards of the Coast an immeasurable favor by designing them epic new headquarters!

Meh, I couldnt get those pictures merged right

UPDATE: I have added some new indoor features, and made some more renders.

An amazing comic

Blarglez makes things when he is bored. Absolutely glorious things.

NOTE: I am really not Ultra Cool enough to wield a main gauche.

Another game on the Interblagotubes

In another streak of pure boredom, (somewhat) imaginative minds have been at lackadaisical hard work inventing new activities to entertain ourselves with. After one particular night being fed up with being around hordes (no pun intended) of idiots that I knew nothing about except of their lack of intelligence, I decided to create a rather spontaneous game that my friends and I could participate in undisturbed by the nuisances of absent intellect. The game that was created was:

The Thinkgeek Game!

The rules are as follows:

You are allocated 5 minutes to peruse the Thinkgeek.com website and comprise a list of items that you find fascinating, mystifying, loads of fun or just plain neat. The restrictions on your list are that your list may NOT exceed 100 (U.S.) dollars, and it may only contain a specific item only once. After the 5 minutes are over, all of your friend(s) and you then compare their lists. Then, each list is awarded “Awesome points” for how awesome their compilation of items is. This judging system is completely arbitrary, and there are no tables or guidelines to what items deserves more Awesome points, it’s just what you and your friends think! The list with the most awesome points wins! You may play as many rounds as you like to determine a winner, just keep in mind that you may never use the same item more than once. That includes in separate matches.

Things to keep in mind:

-You may use any scoring system you think best fits you: You may give the whole list a score of 1 – 10, or 1 – 100, or grade each item on the list 1 – 10 (if you choose this option, please keep in mind the cost of the items on each player’s list).

-Please try to be honest! Do not under-vote your friends’ lists just because you would like to be the winner. By honest means, decide how neat the gadgets on your friends’ lists would be and award the correct amount of Awesome points you think fits.

-You may not vote on your own list (duh).

-This game is still in Beta, and I have no idea if it will work out or become a complete failure! So, don’t, you know, go prancing all over the place and complaining because it is a bad game. I though this up in a single thought while dealing with some primitive cultists, mentally-unstable folks, and 3 Instant messaging conversations.

Have fun!

A Game

Me and my friend recently developed independently, a wonderful game where you race from one article of Wikipedia to another in times of great boredom and need! Of course, we also found out later that the game had already been invented, had an article on it, a leaderboard, and site dedicated to it. Nonetheless, we’ve decided to publish some of our logs from the game as well as a sort of basic outline on how to play it.
