The trailer for Tarantino\’s Inglourious Basterds (those aren\’t typos) is online. I like World War II movies. I also like Tarantino movies. Therefore, there is a high chance I will probably like this movie too.

On a budget of just $500 The Purchase Brothers made Escape From City 17, a live-action short film based on Half-Life 2. It looks really good: the props, costumes and settings look faithful and the sound effects are straight out of the game. I can\’t wait for the next part.

The Simpsons episode last night was the first one in HD. They re-did the credits in HD too, which you can see here. I love how the TV at the end is widescreen.

Ultra-high resolution, cleaned-up, de-logoed coverart of classic Lucasarts games. I\’m totally going to print some Monkey Island posters.

L-test hell for S Korean driver

A South Korean grandmother has failed her written driving test 771 times.

Police in the city of Jeonju said the 68-year-old woman has taken, and failed, the written test repeatedly since April 2005.

That\’s 771 times she\’s failed the written test, she hasn\’t even gotten to the driving test yet! Hey granny, it\’s time to invest in a bus pass.

Heh heh, someone ordered a birthday cake and gave the bakery a flash drive containing the image they wanted on the cake. The bakery put the actual flash drive on the cake. Maybe the real image is inside the cake?
