NSFW: Yep, Montblanc Killed my MacBook Pro Today

Last Wednesday, I got my hands on a new Meisterst�ck Le Grand Traveller pen. I haven?t touched my MacBook Pro since. It?s twelve months old. RIP. Stop. Take a deep breath. Before my opening paragraph gets you all worked up, consider what I?m saying here. I?m saying that my TechCrunch options just cashed out and I?ve just used some of the money to buy an awesome new pen. And it?s beautiful. And I want to write a post all about how awesome and beautiful it is. No - wait - I?ve just looked back at that lede, and you?re right. I am saying more than that. I?m saying that my new pen is so perfect in every way that my purchasing it spells the inevitable end of my MacBook. What?s more, I genuinely and unironically believe that the awesomeness of my pen is such that its halo effect will render your MacBook - and those of everyone you hold dear - useless as well.

Robot Wants Ice Cream is a fun retro platformer -- Time-Waster

Filed under: , ,

robotwantsicecream

Robot Wants Ice Cream does not actually have ice cream. At least not as far as I was able to tell.

What it does have is a robot. Well, to be exact, it has a robot, a dog, a ton of bad guys, 8-bit music, and bosses that you have to beat. You can tell when you're facing a boss because it's huge, and the music gets all "Bowser" when one of them shows up. There are also bonuses that make you jump higher, shoot faster, and generally become a more awesome, ice cream-loving robot.

Most importantly, there are lots and lots of save points, and if you die, you instantly reincarnate. You don't even lose your bonuses!

As far as time-wasters go, this isn't a quick one. It leans more towards the "addictive" side of the scale. If you have any sort of affinity for 8-bit graphics, robots, and cute puppies, you really should give it a spin.
