Life's crazyness wrapped in a wall of text

When Idols first premiered in The Netherlands, many people (including me) were hooked. For once you were able to see the artists progressing and battling each other for the first place. And we were given a chance to give our voice as well. Oh and let’s not forget the hilarious auditions either. It was a refreshing newcomer on TV albeit it was copied from the USA.

However, the enthusiasm didn’t last very long for me. There are a few reasons why I lost interest after pretty much just one season of Idols:

• The winners never appear to be anything special after their show ended. There were some cases where the number two actually had more success  than the number one. Wasn’t the goal of such series to search for an extraordinary artist out of many, many people? I think I’m a bit naive here; it’s obviously about the TV ratings and they probably could care less about the finalists.
• The many spin-offs made the whole refreshing experience rotten. Spin-offs such as Dancing With the Stars, Dancing on Ice, Popstars, X-Factor…pretty much ruined it.

Britain’s Got Talent however, is quite an exception…

Some really awesome fanart of Street Fighter IV I just had to show. It’s a mix of people and graphics. Ryu and Juri are definately my favorite ones. The rest is at BossLogic’s Deviantart page.

I was left in awe when I saw this short film for the first time. It might seem cruel at first, but if you think about it…That kiwi bird must have been working his whole life to achieve the one thing he wanted: to be able to fly. A very inspiring movie. Kudos to Madyeti47.

My sis posted a hilarious video of what would seem to be a Youtube celebrity cat called Maru.

This cat has the weirdest personality ever (but damn adorable!). Just watch the videos and you’ll see what I mean. Especially the part at 4:17. He seems to love boxes…If I’m ever gonna get a cat, I want one like Maru and I’d totally call him Boris! Watching Maru puts a smile on my face.

A mix of puzzle and music.

Came across this game on VGCats and I thought it was really well done, I can’t wait for the full version to be released. You can play the demo (online) here: http://playauditorium.com/
