Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” Official Music Video

Gaga struts around without make-up, wearing bad math teacher wigs and AK-40’s on her cha-cha’s. Hot guys with bowl cuts prance around in speedos and stilettos. Simply put, I love this freak bitch SO much. Yeah, the video is weird. I can’t help but chuckle at some of the design choices. And I’m endlessly amazed at how Gaga can double the length of a 4 minute song for a music video. But I also totally get where Gaga was going with this video… And for an oppressive cold war-torn world, it certainly looks fun and arousing!

Per Gaga herself, this video has a “homoerotic military theme” and is about the “purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I’ve been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It’s a celebration and an admiration of gay love—it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I’m pining for the love of my gay friends—but they just don’t want me to be with them.”

REVIEW: 3D Dot Game Heroes – This is why I usually talk myself out of buying games… [REVISED]

For me, 3D Dot Game Heroes (herein known as 3DGH) was an investment of pure whim. It wasn’t until I saw some dot-composed heroes on my routine Mega Man blog-run that I had even heard of such a title. After some Wiki’ng, I learned what I needed to know. The game was supposed to be a gigantic homage to retro Nintendo games, particularly harking to the classic Legend of Zelda, with the added benefit of total character customization, and apparently it had been hyped-up for some time as the PS3 alternative to Zelda. A couple of positive reviews and a YouTube or two later (and a chat with a very convincing GameStop representative), I gave this underdog a try.

The next day, I traded it back in and cut my losses.

Nintendo announces the ‘Nintendo 3DS’

I guess 3-D gaming is the next big thing. I’m at least glad I never invested into the Nintendo DSi or the DS Lite… I’m still rocking the clunky original DS model, complete with sticky buttons from when I spilled red soda on it a few years back.

GaGa is cooking with pure WIN

Thanks to my good friend Heat for pointing out this wonderfully delicious Cooking Mama parody art starring none other than Lady GaGa herself, complete with her “Telephone” get-up. I would definitely play a game about cooking poison honey for unsuspecting diner patrons. Major props to DeviantArt user capitannathan for his sexy portrayal of the freak bitch.
