The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Super Meat Boy

Thought I might as well post something since I haven’t done so in months. I tried the Super Meat Boy demo today, it plays like N+ but marginally less annoying. Rich from Peoww summed my thoughts up perfectly:

My experience of SMB.

fun.

fun.

fun.

level 4. never playing it again.

that sort of shit will get old. multiple stages = fail. I can see this game getting horrific.

That’s all for this month.

Just testing out the new(ish) WordPress app on my new iPhone 4.

LCD Soundsystem – Drunk Girls

Arguably the best music video of the year so far, in my opinion. 1:14 = ouch! Not quite sure if it tops Lady Gaga’s Telephone, though.
