that one really weird thing on your mind that is making you laugh your ass off

The demo of Last Wave by They Might Be Giants. The final project is a fantastic song that's extremely jammable.

The demo, on the other hand, is, uh...this.

(Yes, it's set to the video for Walk This Way by Aerosmith and Run DMC. This is also fucking hilarious.)

A guy has been trolling the internet since the 21st of June, 2015 with a video entitled "Cute Sleeping Fossa", and I fell for it.

The fossa is, in fact sleeping, and all fossas are cute, but the video...

Welp, the troll states that the fossa is cuddling a toy while he sleeps.

Spoiler: NSFW

He's actually having a wet dream, and if that's a toy, it's the one that G-d gave him. I thought it might be a toy only because I've seen the internet meme "dog toy or sex toy" and thought it might be one of those weird dog toys. But if you play the video, you can clearly see what it actually is, even though it's very large and looks nothing like a human's corresponding parts.

Don't google this and if you do, don't say I didn't warn you.

(It is, however, funny now, and I am in fact laughing my ass off at it.)

 

this frankly bizarre, mcelroy-esque reddit post

 

How are they changing pitch with the chickens

Theres this ad on youtube thats about a car related product and at the end theres this old guy who says " its the orange one, numbnuts" and it gets me every time

 

TMBG shitposts are my aesthetic. (Although it should be Linnell's face on there instead of Flansburgh's, he's the one who sang Don't Let's Start...:P)

 

it’s doing a play bow! :D

 

That reminds me:

Only one spoiler for Gone Home but if you have any interest in the game I recommend going in cold and coming back to this later. It’s a fantastic game, so please do consider!

Spoiler: Gone Home nonspoiler info for anyone potentially interested in playing

If you like solving mysteries by investigating every single thing and trying to piece together what happened, please please play this game. It’s about a young woman who, iirc, has just returned from a year abroad, maybe a gap year? and while she was gone her family moved. Playing as her, you arrive on the doorstep of this enormous dark creaky house you’ve never been to before. Nobody answered when you called from the airport. Nobody seems to be home at all. There is a worrying note from your little sister stuck to the door.

I would not recommend looking up reviews because holy crap spoilers, but I can tell you what detractors say: the game is too short, especially for the price; “walking simulator” rather than puzzle game; it’s creepy, not horror; the plot twist was insufficiently shocking; there was a lot that didn’t get resolved.

Imho every one of those complaints besides genre preferences depends entirely on how thorough you are in your investigation. It’s still not going to become a different type of game, but there’s a hell of a lot more going on than people who speedrun would have noticed, and those are the best parts. I can’t think of a single plot thread that was left hanging. There are huge things that a lot of people totally missed. All this can easily at least double your playtime. I’ve clocked over ten hours with only one playthrough (and consulted a subject matter expert on one topic) because I really like investigating literally everything and that’s the amount of detail the game offers if you really want to go that far in depth. Which hell yeah I do.

People get really really down on indie games about price versus playtime. Gone Home has come down a lot in price since its release (currently $15 I think) but the initial reaction was extremely upset about hours per dollar. This happens a lot. :P
