Two slide shows, one photo gallery

A Fallout 3 slide show.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/slideshow-fallout-3/24031 It's very short, but the pictures it has are good. It has no sound to it, as well as no replay, pause, stop function; once you starts loading it just goes. I really wanted it to have Fallout music playing in the background, the lack of any sound kills it for me. A

Gundam Wing slide show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVb0zMBFrhg As a fan girl I was very pleased with the quality. The songs were either from the show or the movie, keeping very close ties to the die hard Gundam Wing fans. It would have been better if the creator ended the slide show with the first song, but the song styles were close enough that it made little difference.


A Kingdom Hearts photo gallery.
http://www.minitokyo.net/Kingdom+Hearts Lots of really cool KH pictures you can download, sized to fit a computer screen or a print out. Not all the pictures have to do with the actual game, most just look pretty; which is ok but I was hoping to find pictures of cut-scenes or epic boss fights.

Angry Ani's crib

On the latest episode of LSC Cribs we followed Angry Ani on a tour of her Main Street apartment in Lyndonville.

If you are not aware of who Angry Ani is, you are missing out. Angry Ani’s popularity came from her opinion column in Lyndon State College’s newspaper The Critic.

Though she is famously known for the outrageous rants in her column, this week we get to find out what doesn’t make Ani angry.

Angry Ani is a woman that knows exactly what she likes and this knowledge seems to know no bounds. Her tricked-out apartment is nothing to be ashamed of and is most definitely worthy of being the spotlight on this week’s podcast.

Angry Ani lives in quite the palace: 75 square feet, two bed-rooms, one kitchen, a half bath, and a living room equipped with a hammock.

To get to Angry Ani’s “chill pad,” visitors must climb the “stairway to heaven.”

Angry Ani likes to “keep it classy up in here,” with several items that are precious to her. Among them are her beloved dogs, two Lay-Z-Boy recliners, one flat screen television, and a “no pants policy.”

Angry Ani’s kitchen lives up to her vivacious personality, being decked out with hardwood flooring, a great view of the driveway, and a fridge stocked with Corona Light and pudding.

Angry Ani keeps all different types of pudding “up in here.” She also “represents” by showing off some LSC pride with a flag that hangs above the sink.

In her down time, Angry Ani likes to cook in her saffron kitchen that is lined with multi-colored Christmas lights, “’Cause we’re always shinin’ bright.” Angry Ani likes to keep it classy.

None of these wonders even come close to the amazement that is the “Scoliosis shower”, or as Ani says, “the S.S.—or the scolioshish shower.” Angry Ani can stand in the shower despite the slanted walls, but it “looks like she has that disease where her back is crooked.”

Now to where the “magic” happens, Angry Ani’s bedroom.

Angry Ani’s room comes with a Greek flag to show her Greek pride.

Whenever her bed moves, the ceiling fan in the apartment below will shake. “I know how to make the ceiling fan shake,” Ani assured us.

If Angry Ani does one thing well it’s not caring what other people think because they are wrong. Ani shows off her 2011 Robert Pattinson calendar to all who enter her bedroom. “He’s hot,” she exclaimed.

Of course, Angry Ani’s ride is “baller status.” Her Honda Element is “riding dirty,” with a crooked roof rack. With 30 inch spinners, a plastic floor (for easy clean ups), six cylinders, and seats that turn into beds, Angry Ani has made sure her ride is “fly .”

Before leaving Angry Ani’s crib, she left us with one last message. “’Outta my house bitches! Peace!”

Next week, LSC Cribs takes a heavy metal tour of the “Hall of Pain” suite in the Rita Bole Complex with Nick Brien, General Manager at WWLR, and his suitemate senior graphic design major Chad Abromovich.

LSC Cribs ~the early stages~

The group and I have agreed to make a mock cribs episode featuring students at LSC.

Right now we only have on definite willing candidate to be apart of our cribs podcast, other potential people include my older brother, and some friends of the group members.

The podcast should be just purely funny information with no actual factual information needed. ( names/titles may change) interviewing the people in funny ways and having them blow out of proportion actual experiences they may have had.

We hope to just have fun with making the podcast.

Three podcasts walk into a bar...

 From the makers of Red vs. Blue, Rooster Teeth Podcast is every bit o f random you would expect from the successful voice actors. The two podcasts I listened to were each over an hour long, taking me about three days to finish listening to on my way to and from work. The actual podcasts while funny followed no pattern or topic list; the four guys would just talk about anything that sprang to mind.

Turbolift is a podcast based around Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG). As of Saturday they only have two podcasts; the first cast being from around 2007... it was a while ago. The second cast is much more recent, maybe two years old if that. The host plans to dissect each episode and go through a list of around ten different categories from story ark to fashion... I had high hopes for this podcast but the host has too many topics in her 20 minute casts that I found it to be boring and difficult to listen to.

NPR's podcast Wait Wait Don't Tell Me... its not so much that I didn't like it more like I thought it went on too long for the kind of show they hosted. basically a phone line quiz show based news articles; the winner's prize is having one of the hosts record a message for the callers answering machine. I managed to finish around 40 minutes of one podcast before I had enough.
