Deezer was recently on a local TV broadcast about bread:
Deezer comes on at 0:17
I think this is the first time his methods have been revealed publically.

General Chat / BIG BLOG BONANZA
« on: December 20, 2008, 04:52:46 AM »
What blogs does everybody read regularly?
Here's mine:
The Comics Curmudgeon -- I got linked here by the email that went with the dying post of The Comic Strip Doctor. It was inferior to the Doc's stuff, but much more regular.
Game | Life -- The regular news writing is dull, but Kohler has good features quite often. And I love his goofy videos.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun -- Four clever British men writing about PC games. And hearing their Brit-speak in the podcasts puts me in my happy place.
Fidgit -- Tom Chick is the greatest videogame journalist there has ever been. Although his best stuff was in Computer Games magazine (thanks to Steve Bauman's editorial policies) and Shoot Club (thanks to its storytelling), both are currently dead. He recently got a gig doing this Sci-Fi Channel-sponsered blog.
Scott Adams Blog -- Like Fidgit, I've been with this one since its inception. He loves throwing out crazy theories and enraging commenters.
Sirlin.Net -- Tourney pro and game designer David Sirlin wrote one of my favorite books, Playing To Win.
Play This Thing! -- They write about a non-mainstream game nearly every day. I've played many delightful gems thanks to this site, particularly the stuff linked by the99th.
Flash of Steel -- Strategy gaming blog by one of the old Computer Games writers.
<a href="http://www.peterdavid.net/>PeterDavid.net[/url] -- Probably my favorite comic writer.
Kieron Gillen's Workblog -- 1/4 of Rock, Paper, Shotgun writing about games, music, comics, and music comics.
manic pop blog -- Computer Games editor Steve Bauman's blog. Totally dead.
Sprocket Holed -- The elusive Kelly Wand on movies.
ActionButton.net -- I usually only read the Tim Rogers entries. Tim Rogers is awesome.
So those are the interesting ones. I left out the sites that basically just paste news articles.

General Chat / SEASONAL SONG SHOWDOWN
« on: December 18, 2008, 07:04:56 PM »
Clearly the best Christmas song is "Sleigh Ride". It is about 2.3 times as good as any other Christmas tune. But what do you think?
My favorite of the hymns is "Joy to the World".

Video Game Chat / Play With People?
« on: December 14, 2008, 02:48:49 AM »
Playing with other people is very different than playing by yourself. And teaming up with people is very different than fighting them. Great fun can be had with all of these, but which do you like best?
I like Multiplayer Versus. No gaming highs have ever matched victory over wailing warm-blooded humans. No AI can match the tactics, learning, and craziness of Homo sapiens.
Chess, FPS, RTS, it doesn't matter. Winning is the best thing in life.

I say middle of high school - sophmore/junior year-ish. Don't have good and logical arguments for it. That's just what seems about right.

Video Game Chat / Why Melee Is Better Than Brawl
« on: October 10, 2008, 06:28:50 PM »
So there we were last night, debating which game to bust out. We settled on Brawl. But then my brother, who has spoken against Brawl nearly since day one, finally refused to play.
"I'll only play Melee," he says.
For some reason, we agree. Melee has been untouched since we officially retired it in a massive goodbye play-fest the eve of the Brawl launch. But now it's back. And I don't play on playing Brawl again.
Smash Balls Suck Balls
I always knew it deep down, but until playing an entire night of Melee did I fully realize how much Smash Balls hurt the game. They are way too powerful. The incredible power to kill granted by a Smash Ball negates everything done in the match requiring actual skill and gameplay. All the intricate fighting, dodging, and small-arms item use doesn't even register in the end because match results come down to one thing: who got more Smash Balls. Whenever power this great is granted in a fighting game, it needs to come with a sharp penalty for failure as well. For example, the Guilty Gear series has insta-kill moves, but you only get one use in a match and if it's missed or blocked you completely lose your Tension meter, preventing you from using any super moves at all for the rest of the match. But in Brawl? Risk-free insta-kills, doled out like candy on Halloween.
It Looks Better
Brawl looks like poop on a real TV. And I don't mean a nice smooth turd requiring no wiping. I mean a gnarly greenish string that comes in three parts and requires an entire roll of 2-ply before you can leave. But Melee, being 4:3, ends up more visually compressed and looking surprisingly better.
Fast Bats
This is the most important reason. Batting someone in Smash is one of the best feelings I've ever experienced ingaming anything. It's a spectacular combination of build-up, release, graphic, sound, and effect. In Brawl, the bat is so incredibly slow that you only get to hit someone if they're so bad as to not even be worth playing with in the first place. It's reduced to being just a really powerful throwing weapon. But in Melee last night? I batted like five people in one match (3-stock, how men play). That remound me what true fun is. And it's not in Brawl.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot. Dr. Mario, too. Even though he's a "clone", something is perfect about him. Normal Mario, especially normal Brawl Mario, blows but Dr. Mario is for some reason in my top two favorites.

Just announced: on October 13, World of Goo comes out.
Trust me, you need to buy this. All of you. I don't know, go beg outside of Wal-Mart for a few hours or something.
It's also on WiiWare but you should just get the PC version for much superior control and resolution.
I've had it pre-ordered for like half a year and as such have gotten to play Chapter 1.
If you liked Portal and Braid, this is the next in the series of absolutely brilliant and stylish life-changing puzzling.
Buy World of Goo.

Weird Al is releasing a new song to iTunes on October 7. He says it's a "parody of a song that very recently was (or perhaps still is) the number one song in the country".
Sounds like from now on, he'll be releasing all his songs as soon as they're finished so they hit while the original song is still big.
