Tim Lincecum forced to address pot arrest as he’s honored with Cy Young award.
I love that this is the caption that goes with this photo.
He actually looks pretty baked in that picture
Lincecum also said he “almost jumped out the window” when he learned of his second Cy Young award
I thought he just did pot, not angel dust. /obscure after school special reference
Dude was trippin’ balls.
I’m not sure who watches Mad Men or not, but this clip is kinda a bit of a tearjerker. You have been warned.
THE TYPO THAT STARTED IT ALL
OMG, I love you guys. XD
I believe there’s a movie about this….
Say what you want about this topic but some of the best music I’ve heard have come from video games. Am I a dork? This has been established already but I really dig myself some video game tunes. Here’s 10 that I particularly love. My only thing is that I can’t include Super Smash Bros Brawl/Melee remixes and only one per franchise (but I’ll put like 3 others I like too)
1) “Because I Love You” (Earthbound series/SNES) There’s just something so romantic about this song. It plays near the end of the game as you’re walking back home with Paula (the girl character). And yes, it’s implied that Paula loves Ness. :P Also I couldn’t recommend this game enough either. Runners Up: “Winters White” (Earthbound/SNES), “Pollyanna (I Believe in You” (Mother 3/GBA) (note: This is a common theme through the entire series. I just chose this version), “Theme of Love (Mom’s Hometown version)” (Mother 3/GBA) (note: I CANNOT put the other version on because it makes me cry like a little bitch), “Boy Meets Girl (Twoson)” (Earthbound/SNES)
2) “Prologue (Ahead On Our Way)” (Final Fantasy series/NES) There’s so many great songs from this franchise but THIS is the one that I love the balls out of. I remember the first time hearing it and just how much it felt like I was about to embark on some awesome journey. I went with the NES version because that was the first version I fell in love with. Runners Up: “Castle Cornelia” (Final Fantasy/NES), “Chocobo Theme (Yellow)” (Final Fantasy IV/SNES) (any Chocobo theme is good), “Melody of Lute” (Final Fantasy IV/SNES), “Matoya’s Cave” (Final Fantasy/NES) [note: I don’t like really like any Final Fantasy games beyond VI and while VI is a great game, I prefer the music of I and V more)
3) “Grape Gardens” (Kirby’s Adventure/NES) Kirby has a lot of great music, but this one is my favorite. It’s so relaxing and makes me feel like I’m flying. I catch myself singing this song time and time again. Kirby is a rather underrated franchise if you ask me. It’s overshadowed a bit by Pokemon, Mario, Legend of Zelda, and the others. It’s kinda on par with Metroid on notability. Runners Up: “Green Greens” (Kirby’s Dream Land/GameBoy) , “Gourmet Race” (Kirby Super Star/SNES), “Milky Way Wishes Ending Theme” (Kirby Super Star/SNES), “Checker Knights” (Kirby Air Ride/GameCube) [note: I must also direct you to this mashup of Gourmet Race and Checker Knights that is just brilliant]
4) “Birabuto Kingdom: World 1-1” (Super Mario Land/GameBoy) I always felt that this game was a little underrated. It’s kinda like not really part of the same world that Super Mario Brothers was, but I don’t care. This song is fucking awesome. Definitely my favorite Mario song, those a few Super Mario Galaxy songs made their bid too. Runners Up: “Overworld Music” (Super Mario Bros 2/NES) [note: I need to seriously link ya to this jazz orchestra version which I love so hard], “Good Egg Galaxy” (Super Mario Galaxy/Wii), “Gusty Gardens Galaxy” (Super Mario Galaxy/Wii), “Athletic Level” (Super Mario World/SNES)
5) “Vermillion City” (Pokemon RBY/GameBoy) Because I’m suddenly 14 years old again, I’ve been playing my Pokemon Red out of boredom and I STILL found myself in love with this little ditty. Why yes I have been feeling nostalgic lately. I caught this game love on the tail end of the ages that it catered to for the most part. I was about 13 or so when I fell in love with the games. I fell into some strange fads as a kid which my mom probably wouldn’t have minded as much but all the fads I fell into were more aimed for boys. Runners Up: “Lavender Town” (Pokemon RBY/GameBoy) [note: Man did this theme give me the jibblies when I first played it], “Cinnabar Island” (Pokemon RBY/GameBoy), “Routes 24-25” (Pokemon RBY/GameBoy), “Pallet Town” (Pokemon RBY/GameBoy)
6) “Sheiks Theme” (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/N64) There are SO many good songs in the LoZ series let alone this game. However, despite how short this theme is, it’s always been one of my favorites. I never hear anybody really talk about it which kinda sucks. I love it and it fits so well with the character (which we all know by now is Zelda in disguise) Runners Up: “Dungeon” (Legend of Zelda/NES), “The Great Sea” (LoZ: The Wind Waker/GameCube), “Gerudo Valley” (LoZ: Ocarina of Time/N64), “Overworld” (Legend of Zelda/NES) [note: Oh come on like I WASN’T gonna put this one in?!)
7) “Star Fox Main Theme” (Star Fox/SNES) Star Fox is one of those games that by the concept of it should’ve tanked pretty badly. I mean four anthropomorphic space pilots going on adventures to defeat evil? It just sounds odd but yet it totally worked! There’s a lot of games like that and Star Fox is pretty much the granddaddy of all of them. Or something like that. And also I’m someone who doesn’t like shooters that much either and I like this game. Runners Up: “Opening Theme” (Star Fox 64/N64), “Corneria” (Star Fox/SNES), “Area 6” (Star Fox 64/N64), “Star Wolf Theme” (Star Fox 64/N64)
8) “Ending Story” (Yoshi’s Story/N64) The Yoshi series of video games are so adorable and awesome. They never fail to make me smile. The ending story theme is awesome and it makes you think like ‘Hey things are gonna be okay after all’. A great song to listen to while you’re down in the dumps. The very very very last notes kinda get me strangely teary. Don’t ask why. Runners Up: “Yoshi’s Song” (Yoshi’s Story/N64), “Flower Garden” (Yoshi’s Island/SNES), “Athletic Theme” (Yoshi’s Island/GBA version), Yoshi’s Island (Super Smash Bros./N64) [note: I know I’m cheating with this one but I don’t care, it’s that awesome!]
9) “Super Metroid Theme” (Super Metroid/SNES) Okay these are gonna start getting Grab Bag like but I’ll try to keep a theme with them. Like these ones are more the systems from SNES and up (minus one Metroid theme). I like this one because of the fanfare that’s used. It’s like “Here she is mofos! Hero-ing up like nobody’s business” and so on. :) Samus is awesome dammit. Runners Up: “Brinstar” (Metroid/NES), “Mute City” (F-Zero/SNES), “Chemical Plant Zone” (Sonic the Hedgehog 2/Sega Genesis), “Rainbow Road” (Super Mario Kart/SNES)
10) “The Moon” (Ducktales/NES) Dude, this song is fucking awesome. I don’t even know where to begin with it. It sounds like it should be an ending theme even though it’s not. It’s one of those songs I completely forgot about how great it was until like a few years ago when coming across it again. You know those kind of things. Anyways, I love this song. Runners Up: “Victory Music” (Ice Climber/NES), “Underworld” (Kid Icarus/NES), “Theme A” (Tetris/GameBoy), “Chill” (Dr. Mario/NES)
I’ll provide links to the last bits in a while. My computer is acting slow. My bad. But there’s my list. :P
I’m not a huge TV watcher these days, but there are certain shows from the past and present that I cannot recommend enough to others. I must talk about these shows.
1) How I Met Your Mother — This one is a great show that people really should watch. However, it’d be best if they went throught the seasons and understand that the story isn’t really about the mother but more about a group of friends. That’s just the main driving point. A lot of people say it’s a Friends ripoff, but it really isn’t. It actually is a lot deeper and has a lot of awesome characters and hilarious moments. IMO the best standard sitcom out there today.
2) Newsradio — My god I loved this show. Then Brynn Hartman was a c-word and killed Phil Hartman. Between that and the fact that NBC were fucking a-holes with the show, it was a recipe for cancellation. :( It basically sucks balls because I loved this damn show.
3) The Dick Van Dyke Show — I’m going super old school but honestly, look at any episode of this show and it still remains fresh to this day. The humor isn’t lost on anybody due to aging and you really can’t go wrong w/ a show that had Carl Reiner as one of the writers! Also the chemistry between Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore is one of my favorites ever.
4) America’s Funniest Home Videos — I don’t recommend this as somethign to get on DVD and watch religiously. I recommend this more as a “if it’s on TV, stop and watch for a cheap laugh”. Because sometimes we’re all in a shitty mood in life and need a cheap laugh so you put this show on and laugh at the nutshots upon nutshots upon morons.
5) The Mary Tyler Moore Show — I like old school TV, what can I say? I loved this show too. Betty White is hilarious, Gavin McLeod was great, and even Mary’s friends were awesome — Phyllis and Rhoda (whom had a very big love/hate relationship). I wish I could watch this these days.
6) Futurama — I know that Family Guy is a huge “love it or leave it” show so that’s not included. This show, IMO, is better than the Simpsons. It actually also recently got uncanceled. That’s awesome! Futurama has some smart writing and a lot of goofiness mixed in. Oh and it can make you cry like a little bitch sometimes.
7) Psych — It’s so goofy of a show but I love it. Shawn and Gus are hilarious together and “Lassie” is always amusing. And Jules isn’t a bimbo which is awesome to see (though she does have a weakness for football players). It’s on during weird points of time though so it’s hard to find when new episodes will be airing.
8) Top Chef — Most reality shows piss me off and I hate the shit out of them. However, this show is an exception to my hate. It’s just amusing to watch these people create awesome dishes and then watch them being judged and stuff. And you get really into it and soon form favorites and stuff. It’s a more mature reality show. Though last season they got a little too into the personal lives. Stupid Hosea and Leah.
9) Mad Men — Okay I’ll admit I’m just getting into this show but I love what I’ve seen thus far. I love that time period it focuses on too. AMC has a real hit on their hands here and that’s awesome. I’m not big on dramas but I love this one.
10) Whose Line is it Anyway? — What? You thought I was going to forget this one? Hell no. Basically the premise is this — 4 people do improv games. There’s the UK and the US versions. The UK version has more variety and a better host but the US version has better chemistry and you’re guaranteed to see Colin every episode. I can’t really pick between both but I have a slight preference to the US version. IMO, this show is guaranteed to make you laugh at least ONCE. And usually it’s because of Colin.
So basically the lesson here is that TV is good sometimes. The end.
