"I lost myself once, and I see that I was weak of heart.
And if you will stay here with me, we face the hardest part.
We will find out, as we change about.
Is this the last bout? Here is when we shout."

Custom Bubble Bobble figurine by Okkle. It took very little to turn this vinyl figurine into a perfect representation of Bubblun regurgitating/enbubbulating a Beluga. This particular item has been sold (for a painful £85) but the source figure is still available — and, as always, just appreciating it on the internet is free.

A conversation tonight with my friend Rich about the upcoming re-release of Capcom’s epic fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 2 and its awesomely bad character select screen music prompted me to skirt the thing I was supposed to do when I walked in the door and instead figure out a way to make that song my new iPhone ringtone.
The following will work to get any music or sound clip from YouTube into mp3 form, and optionally into an iPhone ringtone if you are using a Mac. The whole process should take about fifteen minutes.
Step 1. Select a Video
I, of course, picked Gonna Take You For a Ride. Copy your video’s URL.
Step 2. Extract the Audio as MP3
Go to vixy.net, paste in the URL of the YouTube video, select ‘MP3 (audio only)’ from the ‘Converts to’ dropdown, click start, wait, then download the finished file. Drag the file from your computer onto iTunes to add it to your library. Select the new song, right-click and choose ‘Get Info’, then set the proper song info.
Step 3. Create a Ringtone
Follow the Garage Band ringtone guide at tuaw.com. Sync your iPhone (make sure ‘All Ringtones’ is set in the syncing options). On your iPhone, go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone and choose the new ringtone from the list, OR, edit a person in your Contacts and assign the ringtone specifically to them, which leaves the “everybody” ringtone alone.
Enjoy!

These videos bring me back. In college my friend Brandon had a bootleg copy of the Japanese version of Bust a Groove for the PlayStation. I was one of many grown men that spent hours in the dorm lounge in polygon dance-offs, tapping buttons in rhythm to Japanese-language eurobeat music.
It’s a disturbing sight, no doubt, to watch two adults trash talk each other while virtual cat-girls spin around at fifteen frames-per-second, but damn was it fun.
