It’s only right that the first print coverage of “Sandusky, Ohio” is in the real city’s paper of record, the @sanduskyregistr https://t.co/DILcI33tlC

I’m half way through @jasminkaset & @vanityset’s new project, You Drive. Art & production is outtasite. Vocals are perfect. Hell, all choices made are just unstoppable. And I don’t even like synthesizer music. https://t.co/jr6IjuAkX0 https://t.co/NUZ4BgXOWl https://t.co/pECcojNqCQ

Friday Videos - August 3rd, 2018

posted August 3, 2018 #

I actually took this week off of work to focus on personal projects and to clear my head from the daily stress. I don't think I've done such a thing in years and it felt great. Full stop, loved it.

I also had our foster kitten in the office with me and, lemme tell ya, kittens are mischevious. Who knew?

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good - I can't tell if this is an absolute trainwreck of a drunken performance or if it's an intentional presentation of reluctant art. Probably the former. Those shrugs tho.
Batman Acapella Speed Run - I'd say this is an endurance challenge to see how much you can stand but, frankly, it's pretty damn good.
Garmfelf - at one time I would have lost it watching now; now it feels like Intro Level Internet. Escalation is a real thing.
Washing the Jeep - ... that being said, I think I could watch 10 hours of this and never be bored.

That's it! Short and sweet. I got things to do!

If you're feeling daring, try to watch this video on realistic faces on pies. I died.

You Drive Released

posted August 3, 2018 #

The debut release from You Drive has officially been released. You can hear it here, in the embed below, or on all the streaming services later today.

The album - a collaboration between Makeup and Vanity Set and Jasmin Kaset - has been brewing for many years. Not directly as an album but through the previous collaborations that the two have made. It's great to see that bond between musicians grow into something larger over time.

I am, clearly, biased but it's a great record. Better with every listen actually. Please, enjoy.

Boss Keys: Metroidvania

posted August 2, 2018 #

Despite my concerns over living in the past, I've been sucked into yet another channel dealing with video game design dissection and historical reflections. The new season of Boss Keys breaks down the world design of the Metroid franchise and how the open world design was revolutionary and impressively influential, even now.

To be clear, this is not just a walk down memory lane looking at all the characters and history of the game. There's very little mention of anything regarding "the plot" of the Metroid series. This is a high level look at how the game is designed to let the player roam while gently nudging them towards certain goals. It's also the first look at how the NES version of the game was a bit too open and could result in much frustration.

So, yea, a little walk down memory lane but mostly not. Get into it.

Some stunning collage work from French artist Rozenn Legall over on Instagram and her official site.

Much of the work features disembodies legs and arms pieced together with other objects or transposed against other faces and body parts. And sometimes, it is stunning perfect in its simplicity.

McDonald's Rigged Monopoly Game

posted August 1, 2018 #

I don't know how the folks at The Daily Beast missed the opportunity to use a headline referencing "The Real Hamburglar" or something of that sort but I'm going to chalk it up to journalistic integrity and a desire to be better than clickbait.

Regardless, this long piece on How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald's Monopoly Game and Stole Millions is absolutely bonkers. You know all those times you thought to yourself "this is rigged, no one can win"? You were right! Well, it wasn't rigged but it was being manipulated to prevent anyone from naturally winning by one "Uncle Jerry" aka Jerome Jacobson.

It's a detailed tale on how the manipulation came to be, how it got tied into mob activity and how it, inevitably, spiraled out of control with payoffs for winners.

Take note of just how many times they mention Jacobson giving someone a "million dollar gamepiece" - it seems like he hands more out than they should have ever printed! Just one more baffling piece of the fascinating puzzle.
