The King of Tokyo

All I do is win, win, win no matter what. Got money on my mind, I can never get enough. Any every time I step up in the building, everybody’s hands go UP…

– If you have not read this wacky story about Aziz Ansari, David Chang, and James Murphy visiting Tokyo, then I think maybe you should? I am particularly interested in how these “ritualized blind dates” aka gokons work – is that just like hiring a whole bunch of prostitutes…but classier? More research is required.

– Introducing the absolute most douchebag phone of all time. Always something charming about white people (Vertu is a British company) celebrating Asian holidays and getting way too much into dragons…combine it with a $20,000 price tag and $20 internal cellphone parts, and that is how you build a winner. And check out the accessories – a USB charging cable is $190. Now that is baller time.

– Some made a voice pack for Garmin GPS systems based on the voice of GLaDOS. There’s also a link for a TomTom setup as well, and someone made a video of it in action – seems to work pretty sweet. I just don’t understand the appeal of the voice of a sinister passive aggressive AI personality that is out to kill you at worst or run you through excessively complex mental gauntlets and obstacle courses at best – exactly what you want in a GPS system…?

– Holy shit, Samurai Pizza Cats toys are coming.

– If you ever wanted a breakdown of the entire Big Momma’s House franchise (three movies and counting!) joke by joke, it is freely available to you in an appropriately named Big Momma’s House table of sass.

– Here is a Reddit IAMA with Community writer Megan Ganz, who receives primary writing credits for the excellent bottle episode, the documentary episode with LeVar Burton, and again the other insane documentary/Heart of Darkness episode. Pretty neat read if you have some time to kill, especially the bit where they explain how the Beetlejuice bit came to be – it wasn’t exactly planned out three years in advance, but somehow the explanation is still nerdier. Fun stuff.

– Also, who the fuck puts in a reference to the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers? WHO ARE THESE REFERENCES FOR!?!

– This is the opening for buildings. I want to visit every single one of them now. Also, I want to live in the 80’s.

– Holy shit, Best Buy’s having a midnight opening for Diablo 3 on “Febuary” 1st!?! Just kidding, they are just retarded and have surprised and disappointed us all for no purpose. Gotta mean it’s close, right!?! Maybe once they get this South Korea trouble with the auction house stuff stuff sorted out. But honestly who cares about South Korea, not like it’s part of the Blizzard demographic at all.
