It’s the end of an era! Or at least January. Will FfP continue into February? We’ll find out! But we’ve got an extra-hearty helping of stuff for you today, so let’s get kraken crackin’ on what you might’ve missed.

- Not being out in the elements is always a good thing, especially in Russia: St. Petersburg [...]

Is the week over yet?
Here’s the little worth talking about, and then I’m going to spoil more of Smash Bros. Brawl for you.

- A guy lit the radio station he volunteered at on fire, because they changed his playlist. Apparently he was part of an online jazz station (well there’s problem #1) called “Mellow Down [...]

Well, today’s a fairly important day. No, not because the State of the Union was last night, though I’m sure more than a few people are sleeping off the hangover from the State of the Union Drinking Game (hey, at least Bush was good for something).
No, Smash is out in Japan. Or out really soon. [...]

Oh hey, the month’s almost over. Exciting! Sort of. It means we’re a few days away from the Super Bowl, and another month closer to the end of winter - both good things in my book.
Unfortunately, you didn’t miss a lot this weekend, but here’s what there is. (I’m glad there’s not much. I need [...]

It’s Friday! Hooray! Yes, like a Jehovah’s Witness bearing booze and good times instead of pamphlets and guilt, the weekend is a-knockin’ at your door. Won’t you let it in?
In the meantime, here’s what you may have missed.

(Why do we already have a category called “Squirrel!”? Amazing.)
- The first reviews of the hard-drive based MacBook [...]

“You know damn well I didn’t do a Chaos Dunk!”

Okay, so. Remember Barkley: Shut Up and Jam for the SNES and Genesis? Okay, now imagine that 15 years later, someone made a sequel using RPG Maker. A spiritual sequel, if you will. A sequel in which an aged Barkley accidentally destroyed New York with his ultrapowerful “Chaos Dunk,” leaving a broken and shattered city [...]

The Clown Prince Is Dead

I meant to post this yesterday so you’ve all probably heard already, but for the few that didn’t, sad news: Heath Ledger, of A Knight’s Tale and The Brothers Grimm fame, and the newest Joker in the Batman movie pantheon, was found dead of an apparent pill overdose in his SoHo apartment on Tuesday.  Initial reports said that [...]

Today’s installment of FfP is brought to you by beet juice: keeping Cincinnati’s roadways ice-free since about two months ago. Seriously, it’s nice to not have to worry about dying (any more than I-75 usually inspires those thoughts, anyway) on the way to work.
Oh, and due to a scheduling mishap, the podcast’s delayed for about [...]

Ever wonder what his movies would be like if Uwe Boll was secretly a Nazi?
Us, too.
Here’s what you might’ve missed, from around the web.

- The MPAA may have sorta, kinda been lying through their rotten f*cking teeth ‘made a human error’ when they said 44% of the industry’s domestic losses were from college downloading. Turns [...]
