Met a guy on a walk.
jhonenv:
About an hour ago, I was out for a walk downtown, clearing my head, when I passed a stranger heading the same direction on the sidewalk. Semi-homeless looking, probably late twenties-early thirties, he had a caveman quality about his head, the shoulder length curly hair and those white framed sunglasses they used to wear.
As I passed him, I heard him speak from behind me. ”Hey,...
What's your favorite color?

?
Someone asked me this yesterday and also asked why. I like a deep, intense, vibrant blue. I find it calming. It feels like home. I think I look good in it. What is your favorite color and, more importantly, why?

The Curse of Cow Clicker →
It’s a Facebook game called Cow Clicker, and it’s unlike anything Bogost ever made before, a borderline-evil piece of work that was intended to embody the worst aspects of the modern gaming industry. He meant Cow Clicker to be a satire with a short shelf life. Instead, it enslaved him and many of its players for much of the past 18 months. Even Bogost can’t decide whether it represents his...

Louis CK's Shameful Dirty Comedy
viafrank:
I’ve been thinking about Louis CK lately. I’m a fan of his show on FX, and I’m so happy his recent adventure in distributing his newest comedy special himself has been a rousing success.
