April 1st Roundup

April Fools is upon us! Here are a few of my favorite joke pages posted so far (some of these may not come up as funny after the 1st):

This Phoenix Requiem webcomic totally got me (ask Lucas – me being an idiot gave him quite a laugh). Because it was so geeky and because the person who writes it is in New Zealand with a time zone difference, when the update arrived last night I wasn’t on-guard against it.

Man, I can’t wait to read Take Control of Quilting Hawaii and Stuffing It Topographically.

I will admit that a Legend of Zelda Movie would probably sell a whole lot of tickets, although this is so obviously fake. Can’t be as bad as Super Mario Brothers!

You know someone is going to have to add the Tauren Marine back into the final version of Starcraft 2.

Get you daily fill of Mac OS9 Hints.

On an unrelated note, I also updated this blog to WordPress 2.5, which hopefully won’t be a joke

Guys Night – 12/03

Zack Williams — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:16:23 +0000

Video Game night this Saturday! Everyone (well, all guys) are invited! We’ll play some video games, hang out, etc. In the past when we’ve done this, it’s generally been mostly Halo or Halo 2 for most of the night, but if people want to bring their own systems or games, we can definitely hook them up – there will be at least 3 if not 4 TV’s available (1 HDTV capable). I have a network set up here, so networked games are encouraged.

Available consoles: PS2, Xbox*2, Gamecube, Saturn, Dreamcast, PSX, and tons of games with specialized controllers incluing:

Steel Batallion – Mech game with HUGE controller, foot pedals, etc.
Dance Dance Revolution – two pads, with a ton of songs
Beatmania – keyboard music game (very hard!)

So, the details:

Who: All the guys (no girl cooties allowed!)
When: Saturday, December 3rd, from 6PM – 11PM
What: Videogames, Pizza, and just hanging out.
Where: Zack + Amy’s house
Bring: $4 for pizza and drinks. Bring snacks if you want.

Please post a comment here if you intend to come, so I can plan appropriately for the food (make sure to bring $4!). I’m taking pizza toppings and soda requests too.
