If you’ve ever lived with Ashlinn and I, you’ll know that one thing that can stop either of us in our tracks is video game brain. You’re present, but you usually interact with strange one-liners that don’t actually make sense. It’s odd, but neither of us really mind when it happens, probably because we are both very aware of it’s existence and the feelings you have when you’ve got it.
This brings me to Robbie Cooper, a photographer whose projects often involve both real and virtual subjects. His most recent project is titled Immersion and can be seen on his website, robbiecooper.org. Using methods pioneered by Errol Morris, he captures facial expressions, body language and vocal speech of subjects as they play video games. It’s simple, but hard to pull yourself away once you start watching.
Impatience
Around the middle of April, many websites started buzzing about the soon to be released Hulu iPhone app and how “badass” it was. Well folks, where the fuck is it?
Where is my Daily Show?
Where is my Heroes?
Where is my It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
Where is my self control when there are hundreds of hours of television just a few taps away?
P.S. Check back tomorrow for everybody’s favorite time of the year, Christmas List time!
Holy Shit
BREAKING NEWS!!!
I realize this could actually end tragically, but it’s a pretty awesome story anyways. Give it a read and ponder how this didn’t happen to me as a child.
Freeday!
Today I got a free bureau and a free Ocean’s Twelve DVD! I seem to be having a better day than the AT&T store.
Work
Today at work I did a shot of rainbow sprinkles for $10. My job doesn’t suck.

New Content From Elizabeth Cecil
Hey there. There are a few new galleries up at ElizabethCecil.com. You should look at them, they’re quite nice.
“I Was In Junior High, Dickhead”
Last month, Marvel Comics was bought by the good old folks at Disney. A few years ago, Disney also picked up a fledgling network by the name of ABC. Do you see where I’m heading with this? All signs point to a LOST comic series. All signs except the ones being staked in the ground by a couple of jokers named Damon and Carlton.
Link.
I assure you, despite what everyone else is saying, there will be a LOST comic. Even if I have to make it myself.
Bonus: The person to properly identify the quote in the title will recieve a JPG of me giving them a thumbs up. NO Google IMDB or any other Internet bullshit tools.
Quick On The Humor
I’m assuming you all are well aware of the incredibly important events that happened last night between Kanye West and Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. Some of you may even be aware of the event that occurred between Obama and Joe Wilson during a little speech about probably nothing relevant to most Americans. Were you as quick as this Youtuber? Could someone please After Effects in a little furious Serena Williams just for good measure?
