So...an automated program takes two rhyming lines from twitter and puts them together. Then repeats this ad-nauseum. The results are often highly entertaining.

So sore and so tired this morning... c'mon quitting time!
At night I dress up like a spider and fight crime

I guess I don't have long to last... adios, and goodnight...

is finally biting the bullet and watching twilight

Friday night and my fun just ended.

And then the person gets offended

"Riding my bicycle to and from work - you should too!"
"FUCK YOU AND EVERY MALL SANTA THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU"

Took a few pages to get anything amusing. Still the best use of Twitter since Iran's elections.

*blink* Well this is pretty low on the list of things I expected to see.

It kinda figures, after Time Warner bought DC.

Ultradude · « **Reply #781 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:34:29 PM »

The time is coming where only Time Warner, Disney, Google, and Wal-Mart exist as independent entities.

Yeah, heard about that early today. Interesting question what the implication for Activision is going to be. On the one hand, we're locked in with a licensing deal until 2017. On the second hand, Disney-Marvel has said that when such deals run out they're going to seriously reevaluate them, which drops the probability of ATVI renewing the deal even lower than it had been (in that Disney Interactive was probably not even on the table for studios Marvel would have considered for game development). On the third hand, Disney's worldwide marketing reach is expected to push Marvel comics into regions of the world they had not previously reached, which is a flat out positive for us until 2017 rolls around.

Warner's owned DC since the late 60s, actually.

Hooray, UCB stuff. This is the funniest stuff I have seen for a few good years. Sopko is the man.

Edit - That is their TV series.

Some explanation to the above, sort-of.

How many of those places that Marvel hasn't tapped yet have the gaming base to actually make that profitable though?

ADV Films is shutting down! Wait, no it's not! We don't know! Oy, this business.

One thing has come out of all the sound and fury, at least: We finally know what the A.D. stands for.

hinode · « **Reply #790 on:** September 02, 2009, 01:47:21 AM »

It's the sort of shutting down where all upcoming products will continue to be released on schedule, which means I fail to care much.

Have fun. My best score so far is 5326 meters.

6752m

Gameplay's not much--hit the boxes to slow you down, but not too much so only hit a few. Choose whether you do a high jump or a low jump by holding (or not) the button. Stylish, regardless.

NotMiki · « **Reply #793 on:** September 02, 2009, 06:07:32 AM »

Man, makes me want to dig out the Genesis and play some Flashback.

Games like that are improved significantly by exactly the kind of catchy music that one has.

The late-night drinking games in the White House as of late are the things of legends, I gather.

If I wasn't already committed to flying the Jolly Rodgers until February (when they win the Super Bowl) I would av the fourth one.

I think that in twenty or thirty years, Niu will have moved on from prepubescent boys to the official band of the FOnline Goon Squad:
