The whole time I was watching I was wondering where the hell the black dude was going to pull the sword from. Then Neo comes in and answers everyone’s question.
This is pretty cool.

The Ghosts of World War II: The photographs found at flea markets superimposed on to modern street scenes
[LIST]
[]Images depict almost transparent soldiers racing through our streets as they look today
[]Fascinating series shows contrast between wartorn cities in the 1930s and 1940s and pleasant neighbourhoods now
[/LIST]
This haunting collection of images shows what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II returned to our streets.
The remarkable pictures overlay modern scenes from France with atmospheric photographs taken in the same place during the war.
Historical expert Jo Teeuwisse, from Amsterdam, began the project after finding 300 old negatives at a flea market in her home city depicting familiar places in a very different context.
Dangerous crossing: Soldiers race up Avenue de Paris in Cherbourg in 1944, speeding past the rubble and over modern-day road markings
Fear and fighting: The original image from 1944, before it was laid over a photo taken from the exact same spot today
Startling contrast: Dutch historian Jo Teeuwisse finds pictures from archives and then researches their background, before taking a picture in the same place now and elegantly interweaving them

I love the concept, the fact that it’s the exact location creates a ghostly eeriness to each photo.
(Bloody hell. It looks like the flower thing will have to happen either tomorrow or Sunday, which are both days that are doubtless going to be a lot busier/more crowded than today would have been. Sigh.)
I can’t decide what’s worse about the phrase “I’d wish [so-and-so] would rape me”: the fact that the sentiment could be said genuinely at all (and seemingly with increasing frequency as of late, if RockBogart’s reports are any indication) or the fact that it is oxymoronic (on top of being moronic). I really want to say it’s the former, but the Grammar Nazi in me leans towards the latter for the same reason that I get on people for saying “I could care less” when that makes no fucking sense.
…Completely unrelated to that, I’d forgotten how good Helen Mirren looks:

Hey, what you do know? Awards shows are actually good for something.
Haha. I figured as much.
It wouldn’t work for me. Trust me, the only reason I do anything sexual as it is either to try to get sleep or boredom and it doesn’t really work for either. Besides, I want to have more time, not less time; I waste enough time as it is without adding some sweaty, embarrassing activity into the mix.
Indeed, that’s looks rather interesting.
will probably never get around to actually looking at since he’s a lazy bastard
Not at all. Was the video bad or something?
Ding ding ding… Pertho nailed it. English with a focus in creative writing, with a minor in art (with that focus being in drawing).
I am a fan of this to. I think this is an extremely good match up for them.
Well it looks like he’s not going to win so that’s something…I think.
Flagged for removal, what was it?
i fixed my neighbor’s computer yesterday and he had a brand new copy of Demonic on his desk. 80 year old preacher who just had a stroke last week. he’s cool though. he was like “i didn’t have a stroke… it was cognitive overload. 
” next time i go over there, i’ll turn into a horse for him.
nerd orgy signup sheet at some con.
could you imagine something like that at SRK function? 700 unwashed, naked gamers FT10ing to stick it in Sherry or Gootecks or some shit? that’s SWBeta’s musical tastes level of disgusting :wasted:
I saw a license plate on a UPS van today that ended in “6667”.
I actually got hype over it.
/nerd orgy
Eat a dick, nigga :mad:
You have no right to say that shit when you listen to this:

Oh, what? SWHata has MaxAnarchy videos?
And he even has them arranged in a neat little playlist?
And he’s GOOD at the game?
There aren’t enough :eek:'s in the world
i don’t like that song! i just think it’s a hilarious video made by a band with a hilarious premise.
this is you: "boy! i sure love the soundtrack to Daipon Muramasa Sniper Pirate. it’s got a rockin’ metal soundtrack with all of my favolite musicians
:d:
i love it when a song is all “faux-classical” with rockin’ electric guitars by Asian guitarists that totally don’t sound strange when they play rockin’ music. and then on the robot level when they add marimbas and a didgeridoo solo because the robot is black. that was a sentence fragment. that’s why it’s good music. adding a bunch of strange and sometimes unnecessary bullshit to a song is why i love it."
I…I can’t tell if those are men and women.
I’m not even kidding, need to level up my game.
When all else fails, assume man.
(Ugh. Stupid walk making my sinuses acting up even though I’m supposedly only allergic to dust.)
Hmmm…I have no idea what the hell is in the Moderation Queue at present. Probably something that doesn’t actually deserve to be there.
Since you’re so good at handling those, I’ll let you (or someone else) answer it, Valaris.
Ha. Or? Good joke.
Seriously? They’re androgynous Japanese rockers. Of course they’re men.
At the very least, you should be able to tell that the fourth one, the one in red, is a guy.
No, YOU sir, need to hit the restart button cause you looking mad curious boy George right now.
They look like the new cast of Final Fantasy.
