caption contest, men with turbans in a lake

This week’s caption contest features two men wearing turbans in water, looking at the city.  I have no idea what’s going on here.  See if you can think up something funny to explain this or to comment on it.  Just keep it clean — no need to be offensive.

unique art using music from Zelda

I recently came across a neat video on YouTube of a user named Sp0ntanius playing the Palace Theme from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on guitar and paper, and filmed it in 4 pieces with stop-motion video.  (Yes, using guitar and paper for instruments.)   This is a unique type of art.  If you ever played Zelda II on the original Nintendo (NES), you will remember this music and it will probably make you want to play it again.   (Well, if you never beat it, you may not want to play it again, but if that’s the case, you should play it again, because it’s a great game, and it’s definitely beatable — I can vouch for that.)

There’s also a video of this guy playing the “Song of Healing” from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, using only wine glasses, if you’re interested.

a urine-controlled game for public restrooms

Sega has developed a urine-controlled game for public restrooms.  It’s called Toirettsu.  The goal is to control the aim and speed of your pee to succeed in mini-games.

That’s thinking outside the box!  I suppose it could make going to the bathroom a little more interesting, but I’m still skeptical.  Plus, there’s the additional cost that would conveniently be passed on to the customer — hopefully not in a charge for using the restroom, but it would probably be recouped in other ways.  I’d rather not pay more for my food or other products for a service I may not even use.

And what’s next — a game based on how much you poop or how much it stinks?  Even if you got the high score, would you want to brag about it?

Gaming is great and it’s good for companies to be creative, but not all ideas are worth pursuing…  And in this case, it would probably be best for the creators to laugh about it, maybe write about it on some obscure blog*, and let that be it…

* That reference is especially for Fab, and no, it does not refer to Buffet o’ Blog.

caption contest, kids piling snow up to school door

Our weekly caption contest is running late, and I blame the snow.  (We never lost power or Internet connectivity, but extra time was spent playing in the snow.)   Since we just had a massive snowstorm / blizzard in the South, I figured a snow-themed caption contest is in order.  So here ya go.  You can write a caption from the point-of-view of the students, the teachers, onlookers, or just make a random joke or observation about it.  Anything is okay, as long as it is clean and funny.
