History of Video Games
seer writes "There's a nice history of videogames over at GameSpot. It starts with pre-videogame activity in 1889 with the Marufuku Company (later Nintendo) and stretches to the recently released GameCube-DVD system."
Hey, it's sunday. No reason to knock yourself out reading the works of ancient
philosophers (unless you're taking Ancient Philosophers 230 and have
an exam this week).
Particle Man
by They Might Be Giants
Particle man, particle man,
doing the things a particle can.
What's he like?
It's not important,
particle man.
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater
does he get wet;
or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle man.
Triangle man, triangle man;
triangle man hates particle man.
They have a fight, triangle wins,
Triangle man.
Universe man, universe man;
size of the entire universe man.
Usually kind to smaller man:
universe man.
He's got a watch with a minute hand,
millenium hand and an eon hand.
When they meet it's a happy land;
powerful man, universe man.
Person man, person man;
hit on the head with a frying pan.
Lives his life in a garbage can,
person man.
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man.
Triangle man, triangle man;
triangle man hates person man.
They have a fight,
triangle wins;
triangle man.
