"Hype" Party of one.

This is another post about something that's been around for a while but I am just now hearing about it. I've played it for a while but figured I should sort of archive it on the site for quick reference.

What's all this hub-bub about you ask. Well it's only for the best game ever, featuring a small triangle ninja acting out a physics engine far beyond any flash game has ever seen before. And that game my friends is called "N".

Before your very eyes, watch our hero as he jumps, slides and dodges everything a proper ninja should! Gasp as flee circus' are set ablaze by rampaging jealous male flees and start your hips a swirling as you try to court off some of the women our hero attracts!

It's madness! It's perposturous! It's........N!

The Grey Album


Having gone through a recent lull in downloading music or actually pursuing anything new I was happy to have this pop up. I know its been available for quite a few months but you'll have to excuse my tartness for the fact I'm not a white belt wearing hipster who's on top of all things "underground".

What we have here is the result of what happens when someone follows through on an idea knowing full well profit will not come from it and just doing it for the hell of it. Much like other DJ's, DJ Dangermouse took the tracks Jay Z acappellaed a while back for his Black Album and then "borrowed" The Beatles music from the White Album and forced one to fornicate the other for the good of his project. 200+ hours later after the dust settled and the Grey Album reared its big fat head.

Since the lyrics and music are not the artists own creations, the Grey Album, naturally, could not be sold. This is a good thing because now it's free for us. To make you're very own copy to show your friends how cool you are here is everything you'll need to make it a painless process.

  • Cover Print, Cut and Enjoy!
  • Bit Torrent A necessary evil. Click "Windows Installer" near the top and at the next page choose North America down the "Download" column and follow from there. When installed you'll have to reboot.
  • The Grey Album Also check out the clash of Jay Z and Metallica's Black Album on the Double Black Album.
  • Burning Software Just incase you're without something to burn music with. Or a bi-pedal pig.

    And that should be everything you need to make one of my favourite albums in a long time. It gets extra points cause it's free too.

    If you don't want to go about it this way you could always look up "Grey Album" or "Danger Mouse" on your favourite P2P or just go to the individual tracks at the bottom of the page and download them to your computer that way. But I'm sure it's not as fun.

    This is Robotto Keiji (Robot Detective) Seems like he was a detective who also happened to be a robot on a hit (maybe?) show in Japan that ran from April 05, 1973 - September 27, 1973. Robotto Keiji also rates a level of eerie on his ability to have a vague likeness to Robin Williams.

    For some more flava' here's some skinny on the show.

    Like the jinzo ningen (androids) Kikaida and Kikaida-01, Robot Detective K could register emotion. Normally his eyes were yellow but when sad they would turn blue. When angry his eyes would turn red, this always happened before going into combat. Unlike the kaizo ningen K did not have a human form, but "disguised" himself with yellow hat, red jacket, white pants, yellow gloves and boots. Before entering combat K would remove his hat and jacket, the shirt and pants would vanish as he tossed the shirt away. It wasn't always shown but the large K would sometimes flash, apparently to indicate he was fully charged, before he would use the gun, hidden in his chest, to blow up the evil robots.

    Perhaps too sexy for the average youth of today.
