Scraps EXPAND STORY TEXTSSubscribe to this tag Scraps: Sea kitten goes well with a dry, white wine 14 Let's not beat around the bush. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals rank up there with Heaven's Gate and the Manson Family in terms of sheer, batsh*t lunacy. We've been hearing a fair... Scraps: No time for love, Dr. Jones 7 Not a lot of time tonight, I'm afraid, so this is going to be a quickie. I have to get packing for the trip up to CES and I haven't done a damn thing yet. I even have laundry yet to do. I'm so sc... Scraps: The hammer is my penis 3 My copy of the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog DVD arrived from Amazon today, and it's incredibly good. Nevermind how incredible the three act supervillain musical starring Neil Patrick Harris, Na... Scraps: Everyday I'm Twitterin' (12/08/2008) 18 I did something last week that I swore to myself would never happen. I signed up for a Twitter account. The whole thing always struck me as being horribly self-indulgent and egotistical. Who the ... Scraps: I suffer for you (12/05/2008) 8 All of my friends are in my living room, laughing and playing Rock Band 2 right now. It sounds like they're having a really good time, once they figure out what songs they're going to play.What a... Scraps: You're heavier than you look 5 Nick Chester's review of Prince of Persia pushed me over the edge and made me break my sacred vow not to buy any more games this year. Like many, I was concerned about the lack of death, fearing ... Scraps: Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (12/01/2008) 7 I've been giving a lot of thought recently as to how I could improve the Scraps column. Don't get me wrong, I've always believed that it provides a valuable service to you in giving you bits of l... Scraps: You're going to wind up in Florida with one arm (11/25/08) 6 I've been really digging the Netflix Instant Watch feature on the 360. Most of all, their impressive library of documentaries available on the service. I love documentaries but they never wind up... Scraps: WTF are Scraps? (11/24/08) 5 Been a while, hasn't it? Well, I'd like to blame that fact on how exceptional our news coverage has been of late. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Why, there's been nary a thing to put in... Weekend Scraps: Like a chubby, British Sinatra (10/17/08-10/19/08) 7  What a great weekend this has been. Not a whole lot on the news front, but I suspect that nobody wanted to have to fight for attention from the blogosphere while SingSterling was going on. ... Scraps: Charitable donations (10/14/08) 1 My local NPR station has been running one of their pledge drives today. Thankfully, they're a little more considerate than in some markets that I've heard and try to limit the length of the drive... Scraps: I can't be objective about World at War (10/13/08) 13 Why not? It's probably because I'm bloody awful at it. I wasn't much good when it came to Call of Duty 4 but this is just depressing. I'm lucky if I can kill half as many times as I get to press ... Scraps: This is gonna kill Hamtaro sales 5 Local news is really funny. As I was watching Heroes tonight (Hiro's "key" is WIN), my local NBC affiliate news had a promo for what we could expect to see on tonight's program. I have... Weekend Scraps: What was I doing again? 1 I'm having one of those nights where I'm finding it hard to get anything done. The work is piling up around me and I can't even work up the motivation to procrastinate. You know what helps me get... Scraps: One door opens, 500 stay locked forever (10/1/08) 9 This post is probably going to seem pretty stupid to you (excluding the news links at the end, which are AWESOME... sorta). You've been warned.Something occurred to me today while I was fiddling ... Scraps: Quality TV watching (09/29/08) 5 Do you guys watch Heroes? I was concerned about the show after the way the last season went but it looks like they're getting back on the horse. Hopefully, they can keep things intriguing withou... Weekend Scraps: Hey Mr. Record Man (9/26/08-9/28/08) 4 This weekend, The Minibosses and MC Frontalot were in town. Well, The Minibosses live here, but that's neither here nor there. They were performing at a party for Kingdom of Loathing Con V (which... Scraps: This is how the hype ends (9/25/08) 2 Let me tell you how my morning went down. I spent the whole night prior working on various posts and playing LEGO Batman for review while I waited for the day's news to start circulating. Then, t... Scraps: Impalement! (9/24/08) 2 The other week, in Scraps, I posted a link to a charity drive called Extra Life. Hosted by Sarcastic Gamer, it's an attempt to raise money for pediatric cancer by getting gamers to solicit pledge... Scraps: Holy Denmarkian Bricks! (9/23/2008) 5 The LEGO series of games are highly endearing, you know that. I absolutely loved LEGO Star Wars when it came out and still like to pop it in from time to time and have a run at a few levels just ... Nokori: Nintendo's lineup continues to make me cry 21 Hopping back into the swing of things with Japanese news, the major CEDEC event is over, and those stories are impossibly long to translate. I haven't yet worked up to translating thousand-word d... Scraps: All work and no play (9/22/2008) 0 I don't really have a lot of time tonight. If it's any indication of how busy I've been, I have only had the opportunity to play through a single level of Mega Man 9. Shameful, I know. I'd wish ... Weekend Scraps: Like Christmas Eve (09/19/08-09/21/08) 10 I'm so excited about Mega Man 9 releasing on WiiWare tomorrow that I've started formulating a Blue Bomber holy trinity in my head. It makes sense when you think about it (in a highly obsessive ma... Scraps: All revved up and no place to go (9/17/2008) 6 This is probably going to further label me as being old and out of touch with what the kids are into, but I really love Jim Steinman. You'd probably know him best as the guy who wrote every good ... Scraps: Energy reserves are low, Captain (9/16/2008) 1 I'm really tired right now, as an event scheduled far earlier than my usual sleep schedule accommodates forced me to eschew the comforts of my bed last night. This means that my already limited c... Weekend Scraps: Black goat of the ROCK! (9/12/08-9/14/08) 2 I picked up Rock Band 2 today, as I'm sure many of you did, and have immediately set to work ingesting as much of the experience as I can. It would have been nice to get a full four players toge... Nokori: Soundtracks galore tonight! 13 That caught your attention, didn't it? Maybe I should use it for the header for Nokori from now on, just so you guys all know to pay attention. Let's get into this then, shall we? First up is thi... Scraps: Takin' it in the Bushidō (9/11/2008) 7 I went ahead and bought Samurai Shodown II from Live Arcade last night. I already have the game for my Neo-Geo arcade cabinet but it would be nice to have somebody to play it with from time to t... Scraps: Good food is too easy to find (9/9/2008) 0 The grocery store is a really dangerous place for me. See, I love to cook and wandering through the aisles of a supermarket always gives me ideas for various things I could whip up in the kitchen... Nokori: Use your drill to pierce through the Heavens! 15 I just got done watching Gurren Lagann. Nothing else matters right now.But, since I can't just make that a post and be done with things, here's what's going on in Japan:There's some new DLC comin... Scraps: Typing with one hand (9/8/2008) 6 I only have one hand to type this out with and it's really slowing me down. No, it isn't because I've been drooling over Haggar's moustache. Community member Qalamari sent me one of those kickass... Weekend Scraps: Strange bedfellows (9/5/08-9/7/08) 4 I had a real "WTF?!" moment this weekend when I heard some celebrity gossip about Pamela Anderson dating Michael Jackson. A pairing like that doesn't seem possible as I'm pretty sure th... Nokori: A free to play FPS in Japan? Interesting 9 I tried writing this article in Google Chrome, and it was less than pleasant. I thoroughly enjoy the browser for its speed, but the lack of plugins (namely Speed Dial and Rikaichan for me) make i... Scraps: Science must be stopped at all costs (9/4/2008) 7 I love science. The advances in my lifetime alone that have improved nearly every aspect of how I live are downright staggering. Sometimes science starts to travel down a path towards ruin, meddl... Nokori: Greatest Hits edition already? 4 News happens in Japan, or so my RSS reader leads me to believe. The problem is, it's not always headline-grabbing news. Sometimes it's squid heads for Street Fighter Online or an XNA conference. ... Scraps: There is not an echo in here (9/3/2008) 1 I was playing some Castle Crashers over Xbox LIVE tonight with Colette and my woman. Having never taken a second person online over the same 360, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I wasn'... Scraps: Night-time, sniffling, sneezing, coughing (9/2/2008) 13 It seems a lot of people wound up catching something really nasty while at PAX. I keep hearing stories from people suffering from sore throats, sinus problems and headaches. I got a bit of it, bu... Scraps: Nick Chester is too busy to do this anymore edition (9/1/2008) 7 "I'm Nick F*cking Chester. I'm too busy dominating at Rock Band and being a blogging God to pick up all the little stories that don't get written about." That's, like, the first thing h... Scraps: Radically short scrappings (7/31/08) 8 So our own Tiff Chow tells us, "Hey, if you like Twitter, check out Blippr!" Like she's an advertisement or something. So I signed up, and unlike Twitter, there's menus everywhere.I spe... Scraps: Long Island is full of monsters confirmed (7/30/08) 13 Little know, but fun fact: I grew up on Long Island, New York. I moved away just in time to miss this thing allegedly washing up on the shores of a Montauk beach. I think I went to high school wi... Scraps: My coffee is cold (7/29/08) 14 Apparently there was some Earthquake in America or some other country nobody really cares about. In even more horrendous news, my coffee is cold. Here I am, staying up until dawn so I can post th... Scraps: Shark riding is fun! (7/28/08) 7 Today, The Behemoth's long-awaited Xbox LIVE Arcade title Castle Crashers was finally given a release date. Word is that you can ride a shark in that game. That is all:  Over three-minu... Scraps: Fangs for the memories (7/25/08) 10 Fangs. Vampires and bears have them. Avril Lavigne also, apparently, has them. But not for long. The 23-year-old singer/songwriter, best known for terrorizing the Burnout Paradise soundtrack with... Scraps: Requiem for a Robocop (7/24/08) 8 Finally, the reason why Darren Aronofsky's people weren't returning my calls regarding the Face Face movie -- he's directing a new Robocop film. You read that right, folks. The director behi... Scraps: Thank you for being a friend, Estelle Getty (7/23/08) 14 Yesterday, actress Estelle Getty -- best known for her magnificent portrayal of spicy old bat Sophia Petrillo on the 80s television sitcom Golden Girls -- passed away. She was 84. Obviously, we s... Scraps: Evil has two faces ... Face Face: Coming Spring 2011 (7/22/08) 21 My wife and I come up with the best ideas ... in the shower. Today was Face Face, a villain in a horror film we're calling -- get this -- Face Face. Face Face has a face on his face. In addi... Scraps: Wait, was E3 last week or something? (7/21/08) 9 With E3 behind us, I did some reflection and realized that I felt I hadn't really played that many games while in Los Angeles. Polling some fellow "journalists" (many of which are actua... Scraps: E3 needed more tits; save on PS games today (7/20/08) 11 Well, it's a lazy Sunday evening, and that means it's time for Scraps! Tried to keep the variety up today, and as long as boobs are mentioned, I'm sure people are going to be happy. There's not m... Scraps: There's some perverted stuff from Japan today (7/19/08) 10 The Dark Knight is breaking opening day records. And I'm glad for it. I think they did a fantastic job with the film. It's just about the only thing to talk about in this post-E3 slump, unless yo... Scraps: Everyone's out at The Dark Knight today (7/18/08) 12 I know where all of you are. Out raving about how good The Dark Knight. Oh my stars and bars, was that a fantastic movie. But I'll try not to turn this space into my own personal ranting area, fo... Scraps: E3 is over today! (7/17/08) 6 Well, E3's over and done with. I don't think anyone's dead, unless Dale has turned into a zombie, and can still blog while decomposing. I'd be a little afraid for anyone who's staying in the same... Scraps: I really want a manwich today (7/16/08) 10 When you listen to E3 No'8, you'll understand. Jim made quarter-pound upon half-pound references to the fact that Reggie is made of meat. I know that Reggie will never be allowed to visit the Des... Scraps: Everything I want to write has already been taken today (7/15/08) 2 Well, so far Hamza is still alive. In fact, he's more alive than ever. Without any of Chester's involvement, as far as I can tell, he's taken to whipping the Japanator staff when he's not busy dr... Scraps: E3 is going to kill someone by the end of the day (7/14/08) 10 You know who I pity right now? Hamza. He has to write that Daily Hotness post, and I can assure you, it's not going to be fun. Thankfully, he's three hours behind me, and so it's not even 9pm for... Scraps: I guess people aren't waiting for E3 to upload their trailers (7/13/08) 4 Great, Chester is going to have my head. He let Dale out of the cage so that he wouldn't freeze to death on his way to E3, as a sign of his generosity. So now when he finally settles in the hotel... Scraps: Atari's making some moves today (7/12/08) 2 Nick Chester is truly evil. When I woke up this morning, I found that he had cut his initials onto my hands multiple times, making any sort of writing work extremely difficult. Not only that, he ... Scraps: MMOs don't have it easy today (7/11/08) 7 Is it safe to come out? I know that Justin was already threatened by Chester, but trust me, I had it worse here at the office. After coming back from lunch today, I got a message reading, "I... Scraps: 7/10/08 7 After breaking the huge Etch A Sketch story I was all set to sit back, relax, and watch some crazy videos on the Internet. Of course, knowing my luck, I only got about 15 seconds into Two Polar B... Scraps: 7/8/08 16 Today, we picked up some information that could be a hint as to what Nintendo will not be revealing at this year's E3. For anyone who was hoping we'd see a new Mario title with Bowser as the game... Scraps: 7/7/08 4 Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. No, that's not just a random string of words we threw together to get hits.
