A good bit of linkage

I FINISHED KINGDOM HEARTS: BIRTH BY SLEEP. CHEATCODES ARE A GIFT TO TIME-CHALLENGED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

So.

Now I know.

NOW I KNOOOWWW and the knowing is half the battle has made me sadder than I thought I could feel possible. Their lives are so filled with ~*tragedy*~ and loneliness, and I know I sound like I'm making fun of them but I'm nooot I'm nooooottttt

I'm not going to post spoilers today. I think maybe after the newest game comes out (Dream Drop Distance? Seriously?) I'll start making speculations and predictions because the Blank Points ending is just too fresh in my mind for me not to write a whole post with me going WHY?? whhhyyyyyyy damn you Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Anyway.

It’s always a good feeling when someone you creepily stalk on the internet gains recognition for their hard work. A few years ago, I stumbled upon the awesome that is Shaggy Shan through his sister KT Shy (who I initially followed for her Harry Potter parody comics, and then through her comic blog Shrub Monkeys). The laugh-till-you-cry funniness of these strips made me curious about the writer half of the series. So, like the lurker that I am, I silently found his Youtube site and blog, and through him, I discovered how hard it is to make Hot Dogs, evidence that wizardry exists in this world, one of the best tv shows in the UK , and Scott Pilgrim.

How could I not be grateful for Scott Pilgrim? (How have I not known about Scott Pilgrim before this??)

And most shocking of all, he found a way to make TWILIGHT ENJOYABLE. That is, to me, a rare gift indeed, putting him among the ranks of the infamously sarky Cleolinda and the brutally funny Mark Oshiro (of Mark Reads).

And now he has his own internet series’ “Shows About Games Show”, a weekly series that incorporates video game themes into real life (oh, if only my life could have savepoints, I’d reset all my mistakes). It became quite popular after its first official episode, when a certain Little Big Planet sketch caught the attention of the game developers. I’ve never really played the game myself, but I can still appreciate the effort and hours of practice it took to make this awesome clip. Ok, I’m going to watch it again. Come join me.
