I have finally returned to survey my once-mighty dork empire, only to find it in ruins. This will not do. Expect some serious changes soon; new contributors, a change in voice, stuff like that. We'll get this machine moving again soon. Thanks for sticking around.
Then, Nintendope's hilarious retelling of the plot of The Wizard that makes me want to watch it again.
And a short film about Brian Burke and his encounter with the greatest video game ever made:
Lastly, a short announcement. I'm gonna be adding some new writers to this blog. Make the appeal a little broader. I can only rely on Bacon Hypnosis so much.
Man, I accidently forced Dorkstuff to a screeching halt. I had reserved the "138th post" for myself, but now that it's here, I'm not sure what I want to post.
Not really sure what the significance of this number is. It shows up frequently in George Lucas movies (along with the number 23). The same goes for the Simpsons (for both 138 and 23). In fact, the Simpsons celebrated their 138th episode with a commemorative episode (rather than their 100th).
And of course the number is heavily associated with the punk band The Misfits.
But what is the big deal about the number? According to Wikipedia, it's a sphenic number, which means it is also square-free and has a Moebius function result of negative 1. Maybe that means more to you than to me.
Curiously, when you factor it out, you get 23*2*3. That may be a clue.
It's also the IMDB number for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Take a moment and ponder the significance of this number.
Well hey, if you haven't noticed, we've got a new contributor. Hey Chad, welcome aboard!
Also wanted to provide a link to my new, improved 23 site! I think I've compiled a monstrous amount of the lesser obvious 23 instances in history and popular culture.
I'd love it if anyone that has an instance I missed to post it in the comments section. Thanx!
I see you guys out there, but I don't know what you're thinking. So from here on out, I've removed the captcha from the "Add Comments" feature. I'm not really a fan of captchas in the first place, I'm just overly cautious when trying out a new toy. Thanx for understanding =)
Plus, I've set it up so with each new post, you guys get to post comments without moderation for a week after the original posting. I will go in an clean stuff up if I have to, but I don't really anticipate much of that (so far).
Pending the technical difficulties of continuing to figure out precisely how to do it, this site will soon be featuring posts by the awesome Lyska also. As well as being one of the first people I met to own as many or more vintage video games as I, she's also a fellow self-published comic book artist as well as former fellow mohawk and multiple lip-piercing haver.
