Word Clouds are Fun!

QotD: "Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face" -Harry Dresden

Gee, guys, I'm sorry for the lack of updates since last year. See, at first it was an honest mistake, but then... I'll just show you the first half of my new video. There isn't any regularly scheduled programming because, wouldn't you know it, my game wouldn't record. like, at all. It just went kaput when I started it up. Another thing that has taken up my time, at least for the past twenty minutes or so, is word clouds. I copy-pasted every post in this blog an created this word cloud. Those of you who play Zelda games are going to love the results. Go to Wordle to create your own. For those of you who don't know, a word cloud is a compilation of the words that appear most often in a given block of text. Bigger number of appearances means bigger size word in the cloud. It's pretty fun to screw around with. Play around with it a bit, and post any amusing or otherwose interesting clouds in the comments section below. Thanks!

Videos! Wheeeee!

QotD: "It's time to fight like men! And women! And women who dress like men!" - Gilgamesh

Okay, to start, I'm going to completely ignore my loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
hiatus, and act as if absolutely no time has passed. I would like to start by saying that if any of you haven't seen the Sherlock Holmes or Avatar movies, you need to go remedy that. Like, right now. I want you to actually, physically, get into your car, drive to the nearest place showing it, get tickets, and spend the ~5 hours necessary to watch them both. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Okay, now that you're back, I have several other videos to give to you. Sadly, none of them are mine. Sorry!
1st: Piano rendition of Clash on the Big Bridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHfIyEGvPA4 The first link is to the original song, if you want to compare.
lastnd: What almost every YouTube video needs to have at least one of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgCJyq9qQvA
Hope you enjoyed 'em! I'll probably(translation: hopefully) have a video up tomorrow. Ta ta!
