I don’t play a lot of video games, never have. In fact we just got a Wii a few weeks ago and all we have is Mario Kart, but it’s more than sufficient for us.
I hate the games where you have to find the key to the door you passed half an hour earlier, and then get back to that door just to grab another key that opens a door you won’t run into for another fifteen days. I hate that. However, when I was seventeen, there was one game that I could play for hours on end. It was a game I played with my entire family, and we all loved it. It was Goldeneye on Nintendo 64.
Well, the geniuses at Nintendo are bringing it back this holiday season and I’m pumped. Here is the first preview for the game. How many of you remember Goldeneye? Did you love it?
Quite the lofty goal for this post, but if the writers at We Have Beards are one thing, it’s arrogant. I mean confident.
My writing career started in college on the school newspaper. I like to pretend like I was a journalist, obviously I’m still pretending with this blog. Nevertheless, my love of newspapers started long ago. I still enjoy reading the newspaper today. That’s why it’s so heartbreaking to know that newspapers and magazines are slowly dying out. I know, I know, some of you might argue that they will never die. And they might not. I’m hopeful that they won’t. But the most important thing to me is not that the physical paper continue to exist, it’s that the quality of the reporting remain available to the masses.
I write a blog. Obviously it’s the greatest blog in the world, but I’m not winning a Peabody, and rightfully so. I don’t hold the “reporting” from We Have Beards up to the standards of the Wall Street Journal or The New York Times. My goal is to write a fun blog for discussing movies, music, literature and food. The great things in life.
As more and more people begin to replace their daily paper with bloggers like me as their news source, I begin to worry about the future of our country. And of course children like Ponijao. (She’s so effing cute!)
What I’m getting at is I have three ideas that I want to propose to save the papers, or at least delay the inevitable. Now, I know these ideas are brilliant, and I know that the big papers read this blog religiously, so if any paper decides to follow through with these ideas, you need to give me credit and some money. Just a little. I’m easy. Like really easy.
So, it’s a slow movie week for me. I haven’t watched much, and I know all of you are dying for more of my reviews, but alas I have nothing. So here’s a video to tide you over. It combines parts of my last two posts: Iron Man and Babies.
For the readers who’ve been around since the beginning, I’m talking to you Mom, you’re aware of the changes the site has gone through in terms of design. The reason is I’m not good at graphic design. However, what I am good at is getting the professionals to take care of the things I can’t do.
So I wanted to give credit to Swell’s owner Dan Dawley. Swell designed that amazingly creepy beard header that we carried on to our Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr accounts. Swell also created Little Beard’s video bumper and our social media buttons to the right.
Basically Swell made us look cool. We’ve been working hard to make the content as good as the designs and I think we’re getting close. Anyway, check out Swell’s reel below. Swell is based in the Washington, DC metro area.
Matt McInerney from pixelspread.com designed this amazing chart to help the average citizen understand the “trustworthiness” of someone with a beard. I don’t think there’s anything more appropriate for our blog. Click the image for a full screen version with a zoom in option. Black Beard, Little Beard and Brown Beard all fall under the [...]
Tom Dikson, founder of Blendtec, blends everything. So far no proof that it’s fake. I can attest to the fact that the screen does look like that when broken because in a fit of rage I demolished my iPhone in a similar manner. Rage might be an overstatement, or the most accurate way to describe [...]
Wikileaks.org, a website for government and corporate whistle blowers, posted the following video today of U.S. Apache helicopters firing on a group of men that included two Reuters journalists and two children. The engagement ultimately claimed the lives of 12 individuals, including the reporters. The video speaks for itself. Warning, the video is extremely graphic.
The 2010 Census is hitting everyone’s mailbox in the coming weeks, if it hasn’t already. It’s a simple form but the race part is confusing in a couple ways. One is the wording of the question and two is the purpose for having it at all. I’m of the opinion that our race really shouldn’t [...]
I’m afraid of YouTube. I never venture too far within its confines. The reason is inevitably I come upon something truly discomforting. Things that normal people living in a normal society would try to keep hidden. Like why does every obese person in the world think dancing on YouTube is a great idea? I shower [...]
