This is our take on the classic drinking game Beer Pong [aka Beruit]. Instead of ping pong balls and nasty beer-drenched tables, we use a custom version of the arcade game PONG and full size controllers to create the first ever drinking video game! If you want to come play in our first BeerPONG Tournament, [...]

AV Club members Ryan and Craig worked together this past weekend to create an entry for AMC’s “Greatest Fear” contest. This is the result, and it needs your votes to make it to the top 10! It’s one minute long and does not require registration to vote… so please, give it the 1.2mins [...]

Obama’s standup set last night at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner is… amazing. This is the best comedy to come out of this election so far, and I’ve listened to it several times and counting. There are clips from McCain’s set as well, but not the whole thing, I’m still [...]

I make no bones about it, I am voting Obama, and I want you to do the same.  To really get into it, I personally think that the current political system only represents the 25% of Americans on the left and the 25% on the right; the 50% majority in the middle do not have [...]

Watch this video at YouTube Just a little election silliness from Lemon Demon. Too weird not to post; discuss.

Contrary to all the posts lately, I do not think McCain would be a terrible President. While I do not think he would change much about the disastrous policies of the past 8 years, I also think he is a seasoned politician who would have to carefully deal with a Democrat-run House and Senate. [...]

photo credit: Uwe Hermann The past two weeks have been exceptionally harrowing. In the midst of all of the Economic and Political upheavals that have been rocking our brains, the AV Club suffered 4 unrelated hard drive failures. The first did not really come as a surprise, the 2TB Fantom working drive (named [...]

Just a little light humor as you prep your brain for tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate.  Click for full size, it’s hilarious.

Michael Moore’s newest film “Slacker Uprising” is available for free, in its entirety, online.  I have not watched it myself yet, so I make no claims about it, but if you’re interested, there it is.  I am not writing this post to talk about the film however; I wanted to pass this missive along, which [...]

Watch this video at YouTube One of the biggest complaints against Democrats, and the Left in general, is that they lack the focus and efficacy of the Right in terms of “winning” in politics; to put it less delicately: they don’t have any balls. The Presidential debate last Friday was case in point- McCain took [...]

Jess told me to post something fun to break up all the political ranting I’ve been doing lately, so here it is, the best bit of viral marketing I have seen in a while. To quote Greg Kumparak: Wow. Whoever came up with this new ad for Wario Land: Shake it deserves a raise and [...]

According to this piece in the Washington Post, the above banner ad, sans “FAIL” text, is running on internet sites today. There is a screen shot of it in the wild here, and there is a report that another ad with a quote from McCain’s campaign manager and head lobbyist Rick Davis declaring that, [...]

Watch this video at YouTubeSo McCain certainly seems to be running around like a crazed man the past few weeks, doesn’t he! Add this one to the pile of examples that his is not fit to lead: his campaign has yet to skip a beat despite his claim yesterday that he was suspending it [...]

John McCain spent the majority of his 2000 and 2008 Presidential campaigns telling us he was an “outsider” and a “maverick” and a “reformer” who would kick the Old Boys out of Washington and fix this country. If you bought this, I have some links for you to peruse- your man McCain is [...]

My coworker Keith’s wife Vivian made these fantastic Sushi Cupcakes for us today.  Not only were they amazingly detailed, they were also quite delicious.   Fore more information on how Vivian made these delectable goodies, check out her blog post about them.

Please pass the second link along to anyone you know who is convinced that McCain will fix this mess [hint: he was part of the small group of corrupt politicians and policymakers who legislated this disaster into existence]. First up, via the [...]

Immediately read this article in the NYT (for some reason dated tomorrow) about the severity of the financial crisis.  We are apparently within days of the potential utter meltdown of our entire economic system.  Sober, scary times have arrived. WASHINGTON — It was a room full of people who rarely hold their tongues. But as the [...]

The entire world right now is watching the American economy shudder and stumble under the burden of millions of bad investments. Some of the oldest and most powerful financial institutions in America have collapsed in the past few weeks, leaving all of us wondering how this could possibly have happened. The how is [...]

On Saturday night, the season opener of SNL took on Sarah Palin, and managed to nail down every single aspect of this choice that is worth talking about. Just watch the video, it manages to cover a lot of ground, even stabbing the Dems a little for the weak support Clinton and her supporters [...]
