I LOVE Plants vs Zombies. It takes the concept of a tower defense game and executes it almost perfectly. If you haven’t played it yet, I suggest you download the demo now (unless you like being productive… then I suggest you stay as far away from this game as you can.)
I mean, look at the zombicide I was creating the other day
Plus, with a theme song like this, how can you not love the game?
Aka – “Holy Shit my head just exploded all over my monitor”

I decided to boot up the windows side of my laptop last night, and noticed there were two games available for cheap on Steam. These are Episodes 1 and 2 of the Penny Arcade point & click adventure game. Both games are available now for $4.99 each! That means you can get two quality games for just under $10.
I grew up playing games like Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, and Maniac Mansion. The PA games fall right in line with the games of my youth. There is a great mixture of humor and storytelling, some puzzle solving, and a polished user experience. If you are looking for a new game to play, I would strongly suggest you pick these up.
You can grab both “I am just a Rapper” and “I am just a Rapper 2″ over on his site. I highly suggest you grab them both, they are sick.
I am a sucker for stop motion animation, and this video takes it to the next level
I am going to be stopping the automatic feed of my Google Reader shared items. With the addition of Google Buzz I feel posting the links to the blog will be redundant. And if you know me, you know that the only time I want something to be redundant is when dealing with backups.
If you want to keep up with the items I find interesting (and lets be honest, you do), you have two options.
Granted, this now leaves me with the onus of making sure I have content that is updated regularly.
I am a huge geek, and it is starting to rub off on my wife. One night we were watching The Soup and they were playing the Pants on the ground clip from American Idol:
My wife started singing along and then she started laughing to herself. When I asked her what was so funny, she told me she did a little mashup in her head with Pants on the Ground and Chicken Tetrazzini. Since I am waiting on some people to send me files, I decided to grab the two clips and see what could be done. Well, this is what can be done:
Chicken Pants – The Ringtone (click to play)
This is what I was referring to when I said on the twitters
If you heard what I just heard, you would understand why I am so happy
And as you can guess by the title, this is the new ringtone for whenever my wife calls me. I am going to try extending this out once I have free time to see if it works as a whole song.
I have been drooling over the US Olympic snowboard gear that was made by Burton. I have a killer jacket from them, so I know they make quality gear. I would love to get my hands on this stuff, it just looks amazing.
I mean, really! The pants are made to look like old denim. I would be soooo badass kicking around Perfect North in this getup.
Here are a list of interesting items I have come across for February 17, 2010:

The return of the Winter Olympics brings the return of the best spectator sport: Curling!
If you are like me, you have no idea what curling is or how it is scored. I know it involves a broom and a stone… I think it is as if bocce and shuffleboard went to the tundra and had a forbidden love child. What I do know is that curling makes for one of the best drinking games ever.
