m0ar!!!!

As the title rightly implies todays dose is about the site m0ar.org

m0ar Is a site of mostly funny random flash videos from around the net. The site also employs a endlessyoutube-esk funtion.
currently the site contains over 5,000 videos. and with the easy upload features and user generated content that number is only gonna go up.
Really the easiest way to understand the site is to take about five minutes and try it out.
**(warning may lead to endless hours of net surfing)**
Here are some links to a few of my personal favorites
-Snoop
-DRIVE'IN(best freaking video! Its not a porn game like the start screen suggests)
-KA BOOM!
-Troll put in his place (ANIME STYLE)
-Just in time for german Harry/Potter
 srysly  I just spent about 40 minutes on the site just picking out these =P

Well there you have it, another internet watering hole for you to visit when you have that paper due!

Until your next dose,
keep driven down the road!

Rise of the keytar

So folks I apologize  for missing yesterdays dose but I swear it was for a good reason!

Rock Band  3!!!!!!!
(orRB3)
This game is fantastic,it is a testament to EA devotion to polished gameplay, Downloadable content, and solid set-lists. As you well know multiple new editions of the guitar hero franchise has been released  since rock band 2 and lets just say they cant even hold a candle to RB3.

To start out, just for  preordering rb3 you get three free songs to download, burning down the house-Talking Heads ,my own summer-Deftones ,and blue monday-New Order. Then the game itself comes with three free Doors tracks light my fireride on the storm,and touch me.
 Already we are packing six free songs !!!

Next RB3 features a new peripheral (thats a shine word for a new piece of plastic you have to buy) the keyboard , And let me be the first to tell you that it is freaking awesome to jam out on some of your favorite tunes with a keytar !!

Finally RB3 features the addition of pro mode. It enables symbols on the drums, utilizes all of the keys on the keyboard and when the new guitar is released it will function as just that a real guitar. Needlessto say  I know what im asking for this christmas!

Now enough kissing ass there where some problems with this product as well.
The main web page and therefor all of the forums where down for most of today(launch day) so when everyone ran into problems connecting with the rock band networks for getting all that free dlc people had to think quick and start new forums on sites like gamestop and lets us all know that ya gotta sit on the start menu for about five minutes before you can connect to them. Also for everyone who was excited to get their  rockband two DLC (dowloadable content) on to RB3 your shit out of luck folks .Rockband hasn't  released a reason as to why but so far transferring your dlc won't work.(my guess is sever  issue's, give it a few days)

But all that being said this is a fantastic game that destroyed my productive day and it can do the same for you
(presuming your not under the snare of fallout new-vega's )
**more on F n-v tomorrow**
See you at your next dose

Music Mondays (1)

Todays dose is the first
music monday!
 (or mu-mo for short) is a weekly posting of some musical artists that you should check out.
easy as that


Alright starting out in our one slot is emancipator.
emancipator's first album _soon it will be cold enough  was self released in 2006 and grew a rather large world following. (for self released elctronica) soon the album was picked up by "super producer" nujabe's. the album sold 5,000  copies in japan the year following year , emancipator  was also featured in the beijing olympics and played bonnaroo in 2009

emacipator ranges from electronica



to an almost folk sound with soothing guitar


regardless of what you enjoy,emancipator's got something for you to  love. and with the cold steely weather looming on the horizon,I cant think of a better album to curl up with and fall asleep
(-soon it will be cold enough to build fires)


Next we have Nujabes or Jun Seba
as someone put it "nujabes is the elevator music you would hear while ascending to heaven."



Nuff said


Nujabes was taken from us this past february in a car accident ... R.I.P.
there are rumors that Hydeout Productions will release his final tracks he left behind some time soon (expect and update as more info arises)

Finaly we have plaid a london electro group *you may have to go down in the comments a turn off another persons player*(stupid myspace)
these guys do fantastic OST,
 particularly for tekkon kinkret

(^i have the pic in this video as one of my desktops >.<)



Plaids calm and soothing melody's are always good to chill out too!

So there you have it the first music monday, im sure most of my reader's already knew about todays artists but there are so many more to tell you about!
So
I hope ya learned a little something but if not,
Well i'll see you at your next dose

Japan

*a warning this posting is not for the feint of heart(aka people who have trouble with half naked anime girls....sry its just part of life)

Last night at about 3 am  I came across this awesome site about culture in japan..... I then proceeded to waste about three hours looking at the beautiful photographs.
The blog /web page  is done by a man named danny choo, who was the sr. website manager for amazon jp from 2001 to 04 then he moved on to be a project manager for microsoft. he is currently working with  a company named mirai which seems to have something to do with  pop-culture. Anyways enough with the stats...time for the pic's !!
The beautiful purple night sky of summer tokyo

Eating right is very important.. never forget your miku figure and your comic bag >.<

This is from one of his photo album's about food in hokkaido.....yummmm they do ramen right up there! 

A local shoping arcade (its kinda like an open air mall)

O and did i mention he likes to go around and interview people about pop- culture while he is in a stormtrooper outfit :D ahhh japan 

Facetime leads to yet another raunchy situation 


Thats just a few photos from the almost endless amount of  gallerys on the site http://www.dannychoo.com/
but again be warned japan is an odd place view at your own discretion
here are a few gallery links
http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25855/Evening+in+Akihabara.html#landscap(warning)
http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/1646/Dakimakura.html(warning)

http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/17849/K-ON+Trooper.html(K-ON)>.<

also he does a show about pop culture



if you have any interest in japan its well worth your hour.( o and the best part he learned english in london so he has a british accent ^O^)

Well there i hope thats enough for todays dose  i'll see you next time,
till then stay thirsty my friends.

Ultimate showdown

welcome to your first Double dose.
double dose's happen when I find a little something extra I want to share or if I just really have nothing better to do.


This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. I rediscovered this gem last night while I was scrolling through my ipod and it really is just fantastic! Its got all the best characters of all time doing battle.... what more could you need ?
*plus only in animated online video can the winner be a bad-ass mr. rogers.

well I hope you enjoyed your Double dose... ya dirty drug addicts.
-Dom

(o and be sure to check out my new prototype at http://www.yoyogames.com/games/148852-ping-v1
Its at a real skin a bones phaze but feed back is always helpfull)

History

Drunken history to be precise!

How fitting that I just cracked my ninth beer of the night. Drunken history is a set of you tube videos of people getting trashed and then they are videotaped while they try to recall or explain an event in history..... it really speaks for itself...ok mumbles and pukes a little on itself.







^tesla^

You know what i have realised?This is art people,true, real, mans art!
ok ok maybe not , but it is freaking hilarious.

Im gonna go pass out so I can wake up with a hangover
see you at your next dose

Braaaaaaaaaaains!!!!!

Recently zombies have come back on the scene in a huge way, people have made their way back into the night and finally they've begun to stopped worshiping vampires that sparkle in the light.One of the more recent attempts of zombie glory was the terrifying but hilarious romp highschool of the dead. An anime series that aired on the japanese network AT-X  from july 5th till september of this year.Its short 12 episode season had a great reception and the show has been green lit for a second season, but don't go out looking for it anytime soon. It wont be coming out for about another year as we must wait on a new manga to be written.


 So why should i watch it now dom you might be asking yourself? 


Because so few zombie related works nowadays go for the pure terror aspect.That isnt to say you wont find yourself laughing as  the series was animated by a hentai director. So be ready for some ridiculously jiggly boobs and akward sex moments
 but when the zombies come out to play you better be ready for a scarefest.


The first part of the first episode off youtube

Sorry but It was way to hard to find the correct three with english subs

You can find all the episodes below but remember every episode has two parts and you may need to watch the mirrors(its easy just click the mirrors link and find one that works)
http://www.watchanimeon.com/high-school-of-the-dead-episode-1/


This really is one of the best pieces of zombie fiction since 28 days later
check it out ,


 I'll see you at your next dose!

GO SUKASHI

Welcome to my evergreen blog for the first time,for the last time!

For todays dose Ive got a little internet superhero named sukashi. I freaking love these videos, its what anyone would do if they had access to a power rangers super suit,a sand dollar mask, a buddy in film school, and some after effects.On top of excellent combat, there is some really great writing hidden in this web series.  O and of course plenty of  sweet one liners for the Green Randel.(cliche evil super villains just tickle me in a way thats probably inappropriate ) Anyways here they are in order GO SUKASHI!




my personal fav




not enough sukashi for you? check out there webpage for comic-con appearances and v-logs at
http://www.gosukashi.com/

O and one final update my lastfm page is now live so if you need some sweet tunes to listen to you can check in and see what im rockin out with :)

http://www.watchanimeon.com/search/code%20geass%20R2


Bandai has recently announced their continuation of the series in R3 sometime in 2010.from what info i can gather it seems like c.c. has gone back to feudal japan to do some meddling with geass.
