Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

No Awesome Fat Guy of the Week today. I'm still getting back on the ball and had a hard time deciding on this weeks Fat Guy. Awesome Fat Guy of the Week will return next week. Please excuse my pointless laziness.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to delve into the seedy underbelly of humanity and scrape away at the worst of the worst. It's time to bring the things that lurk in the shadows out into the sun. Or to find the funny/stupid things that make you feel better about yourself. Either because you get a laugh out of them or, more likely, due to the sudden realization that there are so many people out there stupider than you. Hell, maybe we'll find some uplifting or borderline miraculous stories. The picture above is of a Chinese bridge constructor who had a really bad day. He was impaled by multiple metal bars when a machine malfunctioned. Amazingly, he survived the incident and is recovering in a hospital. Read more here.

So I've been slacking a bit recently. I have no excuse. What can I say, laziness is in my DNA. Anyway I'm back and it's time to get back on the ball. Today, being Wednesday, we are looking at one of my 'new' favorite Internet Entertainers. I have only been watching his work for a few months but he has quickly become a top ten personality for me. So without further ado let's talk about Nash.

Web Wednesday.

This is going to be a hard one. Today's subject is an acquired taste. He is very specific in his comedic presentation. So much so that if you are not into that small niche, than he will do nothing for you. In fact, I as a fan, sometimes find myself rolling my eyes. And yet I can't help but like him. He has a great eye for material and knows his character. Phelous is good at what he does but you may not like it anyway.

Tat Tuesday.

A few months ago, while speaking about the Game Gear, I mentioned the Neo Geo Pocket. It was another failed usurper to Nintendo's handheld dominance. Like the aforementioned Game Gear it was an awesome little system that while technically superior could not overcome the Game Boy. To be fair to those dearly departed systems nothing has come close to pushing Nintendo out of the number 1 spot. Sony has had some success but Nintendo just continues to rule the handheld scene. Which is a shame because the Neo Geo Pocket was a fantastic system. I loved it. To me it was the unofficial successor to the Game Gear. The Nomad doesn't count.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Before we start I just want to explain why there was no Awesome Fat Guy of the Week last Friday. I had planned to feature a fictional character, but decided to stick to real people for the time being. I had always planned on talking about some great Fat Characters but it just didn't feel right as I was writing it. I didn't have enough time to choose a substitute and as such had no other option but to skip the post. I am planing on doing something with the fictional character I had chosen, but for now I'll be sticking with real people. Today's real person is Chi McBride. A notable actor who has been in a number of TV series and movies.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to dig through the undercarriage of the Internet to find the worst and the weirdest that the world has to offer. As I am sure you have heard there has recently been a string of cannibal/zombie type crimes. The most talked about being the incident in Miami. We'll start there and see just how far this shit goes. In case you were wondering about the picture above, its a weird story. A man decided that the best thing to do with his recently departed cat was turn it into the abomination you see up there. He had the thing stuffed and turned it into a remote control Cat-Copter. Sick.

Web Wednesday.

So I took a few days off. That's over now. Let's get back on schedule. Today I am featuring another UK Web Entertainer. Unlike the past subjects we have a man who focuses almost solely on Video Games. As you may know I am not much of a gamer. That doesn't stop me from enjoying a few Video Game related Web Shows. Guru Larry produces some of those shows. That isn't how I learned of him though. I learned about Guru Larry through a rather short lived or very infrequently updated series that is hysterically funny. We'll get to that but first let's take a look at Guru Larry in depth.

Web Wednesday.

For the third entry in my UK Internet Entertainer series. we have a man who reviews technology and tat. In case you were wondering he isn't completely responsible for me naming my Tuesday posts "Tat Tuesday" but I would be lying if I said he wasn't partly to blame. It may seem odd for a person to review technology and other bits of unnecessary crap, but it makes perfect sense. When you review a movie you are limited to visuals, audio, and the story. With a physical item you have a few more senses that can be assaulted. You also have something that you can assault right back. If you take all of that into account you may start to grasp the amount of entertainment that Ashens can deliver.

Tat Tuesday.

I started High School in the second half of 1997. Which was the same year that the Digimon virtual pet was released. I was given one as a gift from a relative who worked for a toy store. I got it before it was supposed to be released. This was during the virtual pet boom. You had Tamagotchi, Dogz  on PCs, and of course Pokemon. Eventually I got a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Red and Blue, but before that Digimon was the thing. I still have a place in my heart for that little piece of plastic. Which is why we're going to take a look back at it.
 

Media Monday.

This week I'll be looking at episode 51-55 of G.I.Joe, which is the end of the first season. We have everything from Rock Music, to Cossacks, to a Hammer Horror style episode, and what I consider to be best episode of G.I.Joe I have seen yet. But before we get to that I just want to say that I will be taking next Monday off so that I can get a jump on Season 2. Now that that is out of the way let's get to the main event.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

I am really looking forward to doing this post. Today I get to talk about a man who works in my favorite medium. I am an unabashed Comic Book fan. I don't refer to myself as a Nerd nor do I call comics Graphic Novels. Which means that I do not fall into the "Nerd" or "Hipster" categories. I just like to read comics. I love to read comics. I am a comic book fan. One of my favorites writers in the genre is Robert Kirkman. He is the Awesome Fat Guy of The Week.

Damn!! Thursday.

I've been having a problem with these Damn!! posts. Sometimes I can't decide whether the stories posted here should be funny, terrifying, disgusting, disturbing, or thought provoking. I usual try to fit one story per category. The issue being that a lot of these come from the same website. I have been trying to diversify the sources and as such these post may move to a twice monthly schedule. I am not sure if that will happen or not. It's a possibility. Anyway let's get to the usual mix of shit. Also if you wouldn't mind, do me a favor and click one of those adds. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Web Wednesday.

Last week I spoke about Film Brain, who happens to be English. That got me thinking. A lot of the Web Entertainers I watch are from the UK. So consider that the theme for next few Web Wednesday posts. Today's subject is Welshy. He is, as I'm sure you already guessed, Welsh. He is also one of the few reviewers who specializes in positive reviews. But don't let mislead you he is just as sharp and snarky as you'd expect. Let's take a closer look.

Media Monday.

The more G.I.Joe I watch the more I love this show. It is full of nonsense but the wonderful kind of nonsense. This week is no different. Let's see what episodes 46 through 50 have in store for us.

Web Wednesday.

You may have noticed that there was no post yesterday. I had planned to do a post but for the life of me a could not think of a subject. I just had a bit of a mental block. I hate when that happens. Anyway you're not here to listen to me make excuses. No you're here for Web Wednesday. Recently I watched a crossover review on TGWTG.com. It featured Obscurus Lupa, who I spoke about some time ago, and Film Brain. In a bit of self deprecating humor the two went back and fourth about which of them was the most annoying personality on that site. Now, I never really found Obscurus Lupa annoying. Except for when she appears with Phelous, who I will talk about eventually, aside from those few encounters I have always found her work to be enjoyable. Film Brain is another matter. I never found him annoying. Not ever. I am not saying that he is perfect, he does have a few verbal and physical tics. Some of his earlier work can be a little rough, but over the years he has grown and adapted into a solid performer. I'll go in greater detail, as usual, after the jump.

Media Monday.

This is going to be an interesting post. G.I.Joe is a great show, but it can sometimes degrade into a bucket of crazy. We have some great examples of that this week. One in particular went so out of whack I don't I was on an acid trip. Let me share that with you.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

While looking through the DailyMail website, which if you read my Damn!! posts you'd know I spend a lot of time at, I saw an article about the death of Charles "Skip" Pitts. It wasn't until I looked at the article that I realized Charles "Skip" Pitts was an Awesome Fat Guy. I also learned that he has sadly passed. Which means it is only right that he be the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Damn!! Thursday.

I have had an interesting week. I took a bit of a fall about 5 days ago. As I was going into the bath room a slipped on the wet floor and ended up in what would have become a split had I not caught myself. I was stuck unable to pull my legs together and unsure of how to get out of that position. Eventually, after calling my mother for help, I fell on my ass and tweaked my knee. It still hurts but it isn't that bad. Today, during my weekly appointment with my Psychiatrist which I have missed all too frequently, my doctor suggested I undergo Lap Band surgery. I'm still thinking about it. Anyway forget all that, let's get to the weird, upsetting, and funny. Firstly the picture above. It's a Golden Eagle carrying a knife. It is FUCKING AWESOME. See a few more pics and read the story here.

Web Wednesday.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I am going to look at one of my more recent finds. He has been around for a while but I only began watching this year. The man of the hour is Paw Dugan. Paw specializes in music, but unlike the Rap Critic and Todd in the Shadows he doesn't stick to strict music reviews. Paw spreads his wings and ventures to other domains. Let's see why that's a good thing.
