Here’s an entertaining collection of videos about video games. I also tried to do some extra research to find the creator of the videos, but it’s proven to be difficult. I constantly find myself digging up these films over and over again to share with people, so I might as well compile a list here. These are all live action.
A clever parody of RPGs with emphasis on the Final Fantasy series. With nostalgic music from several RPGs, the action is right on with the timing and effects. The still camera and transitions are dead on! They even have summons!

For a friend’s birthday, I decided I would take on the challenge of making pixel cookies. Figuring that I’ve experienced the tediousness of the perler beads crafts, I thought I was prepared for this endeavor, but I was kind of wrong.

1/4 tsp salt
two sticks of butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, at room temperature (more on this later)
2tsp vanilla extract
2tbs cream cheese, softened
In an effort to save money, I decided my New Year’s resolution would involve cooking at home. So far, I’ve been doing pretty well.
I have to admit, I don’t have much experience when it comes to cooking - I need all the help I can get. Enter the cute game Cooking Mama, where you complete a bunch of mini-games to create a recipe of your choice. She will instruct you on each task, and depending on how you do, her reactions will change accordingly.
For this entry, let’s make fried prawns, shall we?
