[MB - General] Don't let me down.

I often contemplate what it would be like to live a granulated, cube-shaped existence, and thanks to the folks over at Pizmo Games, now I can. Allow me to introduce you to the campy game, Sugar Crash.

You are a sugar cube that apparently goes by the name "Mr. Sugar," and your job is to keep a kid bouncing so he can pop balloons that contain Fun, Laffs, and even Joy. But you have to keep an eye on his blood sugar level; bounce this little fella' too much without allowing him to take a nap, and he will suffer a SUGAR CRASH!

This game is as much fun to look at and listen to, as it is to play. So, go ahead and help this little tike get high. Link.

[MB - Video Cool] Frontier Psychology.

Hey there, here’s a music video from a group out of Australia who go by the name, The Avalanches. These guys lift samples from old records from the 50’s and 60’s and remix them into a smooth grove that the Monkey Bandit cannot resist.




"The Avalanches hit all of the high notes in this most bizarre of music videos, which features samples from 37 different spoken word recordings. The video is made up of expertly forrestgumped technicolor clips from various old movies, spoken word samples, and sampled audio, as well as contemporary footage and random detritus -- the result is beyond mindbending..."
