Amusement...
Here are a few things I've found that amused me earlier this week:
I Will Derive! - a (nerdy) "I Will Survive" parody. It's sad that I actually understood most of this and was amused by lines like "Find the derivative of x position with respect to time...just have to take dx/dt." Funny thing is I *sucked* at Physics in HS...it only took 10 years for me to get this >_>.
The Alpha Geeks - on a geek related note, an interesting article on the rising of geek culture. It's amusing at first, but when you think about it 'geeky things' have pervaded so much of our culture and it's weird how that lifestyle is now 'acceptable' or even 'popular.'
These particular links need their own little section:
FUTAE NO KIWAMI YEAAAAARGGHHHH - courtesy of outlawedprod.
Long story short, the Japanese find the english dub of Rurouni Kenshin so humorous (i.e. THE ENGLISH DUB IS HORRIBLE) that a particular clip spawned THOUSANDS of parodies (some ridiculous and making no sense). I won't claim to understand the Japanese or why this became an internet phenomenon, but I can still be amused.
Here are just some of the parodies:
FUTAE NO KIWAMI! FUTAE NO KIWAMI!
Final Fantasy V Battle Music
Super Mario RPG Medley
Totoro Theme - the "Shi-Shi-O" to "To-To-Ro" near the end amused me the most.
Eva parody - Part I
Eva parody - Part II
This is only a small selection of the parodies out there. It's really ridiculous how many there are, but it still amuses me since I hated the Kenshin dub.
P.S. suberunker we should buy AveQ tickets soon. wtf/gregly I still need an answer from you two >_>.
