Legend of Zelda Retrospective →
nerdology:
“Boomerangs, bombs, dungeons, magic swords, puzzles, and green tunics. Welcome to the Legend of Zelda.”
I just re-watched Game Trailers 6 part Legend of Zelda retrospective. It’s very, very good. It is over 3 years old and therefor doesn’t cover the last 3 Zelda games, but it’s worth watching none the less. Especially for the last part where they discuss the time line of Zelda.

The Physics of Space Battles →
nerdology:
Not offended if you TLDNR… but it’s a really, really interesting read.
Space battles would basically be less epic calamities and more painstakingly calculated choreography.
Saturday Night!!!
Person in my head: Oh hey David, what are you doing tonight?
Me: Oh nothing just eating some Chipotle and reading Factcheck.org, Opencongress.org, and Tumblr.
Person in head: Seriously dude? It's Saturday night that's sad.
Me: I know...but I ain't gonna stop.
Person in head: *shakes head in shame.

danhacker:
I’m kind of at a loss for words, but Assassin’s Creed II has one hell of a mind fuck ending, and clear set up for where the third game is going (more specifically when it will be set too). Building on the story from the first game, ‘Assassin’s Creed II’ is the penultimate chapter in the Assassin’s Creed series, and really something unique.

This past Sunday, Micah informed us that either Sam or I needed to go with him to driving school. Apparently it’s a state law that a parent or guardian of a student driver must attend a two-hour class. In a moment of generosity/weakness I agreed to go, though the very next moment I was kicking myself. Isn’t it enough that driving school is expensive and I have to schlep him there...

All of my other TV is becoming filled with BSG characters. Ellen is on Heroes, I saw Felix on a commercial for a new show, and those mentioned above. They are spies sent to other shows to indicate how much of a nerd you are if you can tell they were in BSG.
Could this help?
Just a quick thought; would some pressure on the banks that were bailed out with TARP help get the economic fire burning?
A big issue is that banks aren’t loaning, even with low interest rates and the fact that the government took on some of the troubled credit floating around. I think the talks about reinstating those regulations setup by the Glass-Steagall to separate investment banks...

President Obama will propose in his State of the Union address a package of modest initiatives intended to help middle-class families, including tax credits for child care, caps on some student loan payments and a requirement that companies let workers save automatically for retirement, senior administration officials said Sunday.

Quick Thought
Yes, many Democrats are retiring this year and not going for re-election, but in the same stroke many Republicans are also retiring this year as well. As of now the numbers in the House are 12-D and 14-R, the reason this is news at all is the fact many of the Dems who are retiring are in districts that were close in 2008 or have had smaller and smaller poll numbers the past couple of cycles...
Can't focus
Had to much coffee this morning, can’t focus on filling out applications or anything else for that matter. My inability to watch any sport no matter what the team also sent my heart racing, must not let heart explode. gaaaahhhhh.

See, I had to write that in such vague terms because party affiliation can make all the difference in this. I suspect the reaction to this from feminist circles will be timid when it’s directed at her. I hope not. And I hope this dude gets the criticism he deserves for uttering such a stupid thing during a political debate.

I don’t mean to sound like a downer (and I probably will) but what’s positive right now? The economy is in shambles, our national debt is unsustainable, we have two wars going on, we’re losing jobs everyday, health care is too expensive, and we have a...
