Beat My High Score: Dig Dug 2

I'm not claiming to be some sort of video game master, but the above is a score I achieved on an actual arcade machine. No emulators, no codes. Can you beat this score? If so, upload some photographic evidence and link to it in the comments. Then I'll come back and try to beat your score.

Also, in case you didn't know, that is part of the ending sequence. So you gotta beat it too.

Spooky. Glitchy.

Besides Julia Segal's absolutely hilarious one, the Tumblr account I check out near-daily is lowmoralfiber, which is maintained by a 20-year old Norwegian noise musician. He seems to share my love of malfunctioning electronics, drone/noise, and early 80s RPG computer games. Enjoy.

The Cockeyed Costco Prank.

We've mentioned cockeyed.com before (right here in fact), but if you've never stopped by that site before, you should. It's quite entertaining.

They have a really great section of pranks that always tend towards the absurd. This one in particular involves fake magnetic product labels for nonexistent oddities like "STUFFED ZEBRA", "DVD HELMET", and "INFANT SKULL REPLICA". Several people were involved in this one, and there are many pictures of the results.

Admin note: Unfortunately, looks like the prank has been taken down from the site. I highly recommend checking out their other pranks, however.
