Razor Ramon “Hard Gay”


The BBC show Japanorama has an episode about Razor Ramon “Hard Gay”. It’s quite hard to explain. It’s quite weird. Maybe NSFW? But whatever it is, it’s ZOMG hilarious! Japan is so weird….

Crazy Halloween Costume #1

robot_costume.jpgWell, it’s Halloween time again and all the seasonal stores are open, hawking their prefab slutty nurse costumes and kids’ superhero capes. If you’re looking for something different, you’re gonna have to put up to 5 months of effort into building a 9′ 4″ tall Giant Robot costume. More costume posts as the witching night approaches. What will I be wearing? That’s top secret!

Plane Furniture

plane_furniture.jpgA while ago on the Discovery Channel, there was a show called Wing Nuts about two guys with a business making furniture outta plane parts. They were pretty good at making the stuff, but really poor at the business part of things. Anyway, I just came across InterFlight Studio, who also make stuff outta surplus aviation parts - their stuff ranges between pretty cool and totally cheeseballs, but it’s certainly different! Bomb tables FTW!

Gold Farming in WOW

Having played World of Warcraft for some time now, I’m curious about the seedy underbelly of the game’s virtual world. One of the shady things that is very interesting is gold farming, where underpaid workers - usually in Asia - spend 10 hours a day playing a WOW character just to make gold for a company - typically by killing the same monsters (mobs) over and over again. These players are pretty obvious when spotted by normal players as they are often killing monsters that are too low for their level, and when approached, don’t respond or speak poor English. A common name for gold farmers is “Chinese Farmer”. Obviously this virtual gold is worthless in terms of dollars so the gold ends up being sold on Ebay and the like.
