RoboDump 1.0 By Kevin Kelm (kkelm@triggur.org) Friday, Nov 12, 2004 RoboDump is a robot. Sort of. And it poops. Sort of. Forever. The left channel speaker points up into the room (for the voice effects) and the right channel speaker points down into the toilet (for the business-end effects). I snuck RoboDump into the men's room at the office. I also decided to dress it in businessware to make coworkers less likely to try to talk to it... if it looks like a customer or visiting bigwig, they'll be less likely to offer help or ask for a courtesy flush.

Machinima Machinima (/məˈʃiːnɨmə/ or /məˈʃɪnɨmə/) is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production.

Machinima offers to provide an archive of gaming performance and access to the look and feel of software and hardware that may already have become unavailable or even obsolete; for game studies, "machinima’s gestures grant access to gaming’s historical conditions of possibility and how machinima offers links to a comparative horizon that informs, changes, and fully participates in videogame culture. Machinima has advantages and disadvantages when compared to other styles of filmmaking. Machinima productions can remain close to their gaming roots and feature stunts or other portrayals of gameplay. History[edit] Precedent[edit]

Peter's Evil Overlord List This Evil Overlord List is Copyright 1996-1997 by Peter Anspach. If you enjoy it, feel free to pass it along or post it anywhere, provided that (1) it is not altered in any way, and (2) this copyright notice is attached. This Evil Overlord List grew out of the exchanges on what is now the Star Trek mailing list "shields-up@spies.com", beginning in 1994 (when it was still "startrek@cs.arizona.edu"). We were kicking around cliches that appeared on "Deep Space 9" at the time, and I started to compile a list of classic blunders they were making. On November 12, 2002, I exchanged some emails with Jack Butler who has a list on his website. Apparently both lists were compiled during overlapping periods of time. I believe Jack Butler when he says the list on his website is the current form of the James Bond Villain list, and I thank him for helping to clarify matters. -- Peter Anspach Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. and This web page has been given the following awards:

As long as it isn’t happening to you, personal humiliation can be totally hilarious. Before the Internet, the only way to experience these hilarious events was to be in the right place at the right to time. 10.

Lost In Translation: 20 Baffling Foreign Movie Posters Big (Czech Republic) "That's your poster for the JFK movie? You're fired, you sick bastard." "Uh... no! "Perfect! Army of Darkness (Japan) Having just watched the first few minutes of the film before slapping their poster together, the Japanese marketing department renamed Army of Darkness to Captain Supermarket because, you know, Ash worked in one. You can just picture the poster designer tapping the pencil on his desk thinking, "Okay, supermarket. Bullitt (East Germany) We're too terrified to make a joke. Easy Rider (Czech Republic) Well it would appear that this poor man has a dove for a dick, and is trying to fuck the horseheaded guy. Of course you have to tell the audience that the movie has a scene with a fly-monster puking. Japan repackaged First Blood as a kickass motorcycle chase through the city with Dukes of Hazzard-esque ramping of cop cars (bottom). Planet of the Apes (Poland) Escape from the Planet of the Apes (Poland) We knew we would regret asking that question.
