Kodi

Kodi, or XBMC, is flexible open-source software for streaming media players. It has dozens of add-ons for playing video from lots of places on the Internet, right on your TV. At the fair today, I saw a couple shady vendors selling little Android boxes with Kodi for hundreds of dollars. If you really want to save money, just buy a cheap Amazon Fire TV stick and do it yourself. It’s not that hard.

Finally, XKCD makes an indirect apperance on the House of Hitstun. Randall Munroe also answers lots of hypothetical "What If?" questions online and offline. I've linked to this video in the "Source" section below.

Angry Video Game Nerd: Mega Man Games

The Nerd takes us back to his own past this time. In ten years on YouTube, James Rolfe’s editing skills have come a long way. This episode took 138+ hours of work! The Mega Man series is incredibly smooth at its core, but sometimes it loses sight of what makes it feel good to play.

Bill Wurtz – i'm a huge gamer most of the time

Oh cool, Bill Wurtz just popped up in my YouTube feed! Time for me to step away from my subreddit about floaty things for a minute and post this to my old social media places! I’ve been a huge gamer my whole life. Though recent changes have taken priority over games, I still play Wordle, lichess, and retro games. I miss my stream and I want to reboot the stream when I can.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 27: Music from a handheld game From Bravely Default (3DS, 2012)

JDetan keeps telling me about Bravely Default’s fantasy rock soundtrack. He also says I should never trust a fairy, whatever that means. If a portable RPG rocks this hard throughout, I’ve got to play it.

Edit: Yikes! The first YouTube video I had here was taken down today! Here's a different upload. I use official YouTube Music uploads where possible, but none exist for Bravely Default's soundtrack. Edit 2: I had to replace the YouTube video again.

Oregon Trail and the Sewn-Together Ox

Oh boy, sometimes my Twitch.tv stream is comedy gold. When I play Oregon Trail, I have a rule to always ford every river. Even when we reach the 20 foot deep Green River, I must attempt to drive the wagon right across the bottom, drowning all the oxen. This degenerated into my Skype chatters Jdetan, Kinkaido, and Seriouscacodemon making up a story about the wagon leader trying to cobble together a single ox and get moving again.

I should probably say here that my streams contain NSFW language. You know, because we’re horrible people on the Internet.

The other thing we keep quoting, "ford the fing eiver," was a typo from old stream regular Acemage123. That typo stuck around years longer than the chatter.

Wave – Meowvel vs Catcom Infurnite!

You came back! I realized while writing the PiNe post that my most recent artist post was this one, so I updated it in case anyone came back and looked. Since then, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite came out and Wave gave it the Meowvel treatment.

Happy Marvel vs Capcom Infinite day :)

hpknight – Saturday

pixiv is basically the Japanese DeviantArt, full of talented artists I’d never have heard of otherwise. I picked up Udon’s Pixiv Almanac last year at PAX East and I craved more. I’m now subscribed to pixiv Top Weekly – Top 20 which gives a good balance of quality and quantity. Other pixiv feeds are available at PixivRss. If people like this post, I may do some more like this in the future.

You can click each image below to visit its posting on pixiv. If you register an account there, you can download the full resolution image. Also, this is a good time to remind you that I write mouseover text for almost every image on this blog, which you can see whether you’re on my site or reading my RSS feed.

(This post and the four before it were all one post over on my old blog. Tumblr doesn’t support mouseover text, so I’ve copied those over as plain text for each image’s post.)

That sky is pretty! I use this as the wallpaper for my Grub menu to choose which OS to boot into. I think I was actually linked to this one by a Tumblr blog I followed, but I forget which one. Sorry.

UPDATE: Added Google Translate-based guesses for all titles and usernames to bring this more in line with my other pixiv posts

Yumi’s Odd Odyssey/Sayonara Umihara Kawase Stage Time Attacks

Two months ago, I told you I was hooked on this game. Since then, I’ve played for 47 hours, reached every door, collected every backpack, and got every survival mode ending. I’ve also brought the heat to the North American version’s leaderboards with dozens of stage times in the top three. Since this game helpfully lets you save replays, I get to show you how I got there. Enjoy!

Mystery Skulls Animated – Hellbent

A few days ago, Mystery Ben dropped the long-awaited third chapter, Hellbent. This fast-paced multi-level revenge quest goes above and beyond what anyone would expect from a music video. There are loads of callbacks to the first two videos. Please don’t make us wait two more years to resolve the next cliffhanger!

Katrina Yu – Witching Activities

When foraging for /r/FloatingIsFun content, sometimes I find something with a special mass appeal. Katrina Yu is a crazy talented photomanipulation artist that loves levitation. This gallery on Bored Panda features her as a witch going about her daily life. There’s plenty more from her on Reddit, Behance, Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram, and Redbubble.

Have you ever wondered what witches do on their ordinary days? I like to think that they’re always there, living among us and witnessing the world’s ordinary miracles. So this for Halloween, I imagined a daily life of a witch and tried to recreate it through my work.
