Recipe to burn down your house

1 - Gather a lot of papers in your room over some months and then, one day, decide to get rid of them.

2 - Realize that some contain sensitive information, like your name, address, bank account and others, and that you need to make sure no one finds these out.

3 - Have the great idea (or just assume it's great) to put fire on those papers, instead of simply tearing them. You'll need a safe place to burn it all, like on an iron bowl on top of your stove.

4 - Put fire on the papers and see as the flames rise higher than you expected and how a shitload of smoke is produced, covering all of the kitchen and the rest of the house.

5 - Cut the fire by throwing water on the flames, and then you'll have even more poisonous smoke to your delight.

6 - ? ? ?

7 - PROFIT! You now have a smoked house and a hot bowl full of burned papers. You idiot.

Best baby ever



This little girl knows the name of many, many videogame characters, like Megaman, Sonic, Dante, Kratos, Goomba and many more. On top of it all, she's 1 year old and absolutely, adorably cute. When she imitates Pikachu and Sackboy, it just kills you.

Tokyo Police Club

Tokyo Police Club is an excellent indie/alternative band from Canada, with a still small discography (around 20 tracks), all worth anyone's time. The songs are mostly cheerful and great to make one at least smile while enjoying them.





One of my favourites, especially because of the riff at around 1:45+.

How Bruce Willis turned into Tony Hawk

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20000628a/fristrom_01.htm

Great article discussing how the engine created for Apocalypse, a kind of obscure game for the Playstation (I myself don't remember it, and I remember a lot of useless things) starring Bruce Willis turned into the engine for one of the best games ever, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It even mentions physics algorithms being written in Assembly, which makes me cry a little every time I read it.

Switch Stance

I'll start writing in English from now on. Portuguese is too restrict. No, I'm not an attention whore. Yes, I want at least someone to read this.
