PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

Firstly, I made a small addition to the old CD collection page. I think that the best part of this little project is that it forced me to dust off some great CDs I haven’t listened to in years.

Next off, there’s been so much great stuff happening on the internet lately, but I can’t possibly link to it all. What I can link you to, however, is the new best thing ever. That site was a bit slow for me, so I’m hosting the file as well, as I consider it the pinnacle of entertainment and also the exact moment when I knew that Family Guy is without a doubt the best show ever.

As for today’s plug, enter the Scary-Crayon. This website literally has something for everyone. There’s regular reviews, an audio review, toy adventures, comics, cooking experiments, and even poetry. If you’ve never been there, shame on you, as I’ve linked there a handful of times. While the site is essentially the closest X-E clone going (someday I’ll best you Wes, someday…), it’s got a charm that’s very much its own. It may be a little more cultured than most of you are used to (book reviews, people), but that’s not a bad thing. So check out the Scary-Crayon next time you don’t know what to do with your internet. Or check it out right now. I have no shame.

Overclock rock

I don’t have a lot to report today, but I do have a couple things lined up for you tomorrow. Today, however, there is a nice big plug.

It’s been a longtime favourite of mine, and it’s even got its own little spot on the sidebar there. Overclocked Remix is a site dedicated to remixing video game tunes. Sure, it’s not for everyone, as some people will look at you like you’re retarded if you tell them you like video game music. But me, I practically bathe in the stuff. If bathing were the act of listening to stuff all the time. But I digress. You may think that the site would be full of techno, right? you’re horribly wrong. There are remixes of all genres here, from techno to rock to latin jazz to rap. There are even a few songs that have full vocals to go with the tunes. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, I recommend “A Rose for Zelda”, “Da Black Market” and “The Atomizer”, the former two are currently on the main page, but you’ll have to look up the latter. And if you feel like a more in-depth experience, the site features torrents of a huge amount of songs, as well as “remix projects” that take whole soundtracks and remix them entirely. All in all, even if you don’t like video game music, chances are that you’ll find something you enjoy here.

Birds of a feather obsess about MegaMan together

First off, there’s been an ample amount of submissions to my deviantART gallery. A few scraps, some actual drawings. All on horrible lined paper. I need to use white paper more often.

Secondly, the Child’s Play banner is back. It’s an excellent cause, and I highly recommend donating. Do it for the kids. It’s the only charitable thing I do all year, so I figure it’s worth calling out.

And now, the main course. Today we plug Filler: The Space Killer. It’s a sprite comic made by some chick I briefly had a little back-and-forth with on MOA. As you’ll quickly learn, she’s also obsessed with MegaMan, possibly even more than myself. So anyhow, the comic is generally pretty good. Sometimes it’s even had me in riotous laughter. The only thing is that sometimes you might need some prior knowledge of the MM characters to truly enjoy some of their antics. Thus is the downside of using established characters. The site also features a second comic, sprite sheets, and links. It’s also still being updated semi-regularly. For the record, I’m not a big fan of sprite comics, but I’m not going to get all hot and bothered by ’em like some people.

Sowing the seeds of boredom

You know what’s cool? This is almost perfectly accurate as far as what goes through my mind during a day. Especially the Lucky Charms bit. You have no idea how often I forget the Lucky Charms jingle and spent hours trying to remember it. And who would put Reese Witherspoon at #100 on a list of 100 girls you want to sleep with? She’s gotta be at the very least around 15 to 20. In any case, it’s kind of a relief to know I’m not the only one who has entire conversations with my brain.

I’ve been thinking about buying webspace lately. It’s become a serious thought, even though my site has no visitors and such a venture would end up being a huge waste of money. But first, I need a domain name. And while I’m currently drowning in options of webhosts and domain name providers, I have a much more troubling conundrum. What should I use as my domain name? I seriously have no idea. “Torrentialequilibrium.com” would be too long and hard to spell (sadly, many of my friends are horrible spellers), and I don’t really want to use my name at all. It’s a very important decision that will require much thought and many opinions. This would be a question well suited to be posted at a certain message board, but alas, said message board is long dead.

Hearts, stars and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons. Something about a rainbow, then a red balloon. I’m sure an internet query would solve my dilemma for good, but then I’d have one less thing to do with my free time.

In case you’re wondering about today’s slightly-more-random-than-usual post, I’ve decided to stay up all night, and anything that passed through my mind that I deem important will end up here.

To answer another question that may be floating around in your noggin, yes, I do actually have a day planner where I’ve written down what I should be doing with the site each day for a couple weeks in advance. Currently it’s just a text file, but someday I hope to acquire some piece of technology that will be able to perform a similar function.

I don’t know how this will go over, but I’ve come up with a new genius scheme to attract more visitors. It came to me a while back when I linked to the Sneeze and I checked my referrers page to see that he had visited my site from his referrers page. So for the next however long, I will be making regular plugs to various sites in hopes that their webmasters will check my own. This will work as long as you make sure to click on any link I post. And I promise that no more of them will lead to anything potentially scarring. Sheer idiocy, or pure genius? You make the call.

Lastly, I’ve signed up for a deviantART account… thing. It’s a lot easier to upload stuff there than it is to add to my handmade galleries. Oh, right. The link. There’s also one on the sidebar.

It’s… Viewtiful

In comemmoration of my hit counter reaching 3000 (in slightly less than 3 years…), I’ve replaced the long-standing Torrential Equilibrium banner. It also reflects how awesome this November is for Viewtiful Joe fans, as not only one, but two new VJ games have come our way this month. Red Hot Rumble was released not 5 days ago, and I have to say it’s the most action-packed fighting game ever. The second, Joe’s first DS adventure, Double Trouble, is due out on the 19th, and looks like it’s gonna be another great game in the series. Now if only a Canadian network would pick up the show, I’d be set for a long time to come…
