Friday linkfest

What better way to celebrate Good Friday?

  • Final Fantasy III: Apparently they are remaking this classic game in 3D for the Nintendo DS. This game, which was originally released in the US for SuperNintento®, was the single factor that made me a “gamer”, and loyal to the Final Fantasy series for life. I’ve played Final Fantasy III, VII, VIII, IX, and X. XII comes out sometime later this year.
  • Live action Simpsons intro: If you’ve ever watched The Simpsons, you know that the intro to the show is always different. Here’s what it would look like with real people. Pretty cool.
  • The Gospel of Judas: If you’ve heard any of the hype, this site has a bunch of stuff, including scans of the original document – just in case you happen to be fluent in 1st century Coptic. While undoubtedly important, the discovery of early Christian writings is nothing new. Elaine Pagels has been studying and writing about these texts since the 1970s. At least National Geographic will make a lot of money from it.
  • Iran body count: “Provides a comprehensive analysis of the likely nature of US or Israeli military action that would be intended to disable Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It outlines both the immediate consequences in terms of loss of human life, facilities and infrastructure, and also the likely Iranian responses, which would be extensive.” (thx, Tom)
  • Amazing sculptures: Larger-than-life sculptures by Ron Mueck. I think the photographs speak for themselves.

    • I am working on something that would allow me to post links to this blog continuously (much like kottke). This would probably mean a couple of things: 1) the end of Friday linkfest, and 2) more total links being posted. Instead of chooring from a constantly growing link list that I select from on Fridays, I could just post ‘em as I find ‘em.

    those sculptures are bad ass. I can count on you to find some corner of the ninernet that I have no idea exists.

    Maybe there should be a website that helps to bridge the gap between prostitute dragons wearing lasers and the rest of privileged society.
