EAVESDROPPING
(204): all i remember thinking as
me, i was puking my intestines out is:
wow.. this toilet does look like it's
from the future.
Tila Tequila: What a day! I have been
up since 9am! Now im getting my
nails custom designed to say "boss
bitch!" With diamands! Flossin!
Today, I realized that my coach
doesn't close the door and the
FML blinds to perform half-naked body
checks (to make sure his team is in
shape) on anyone else but me. FML
High five
A notable Ann Arborite gives five
answers to a curious question.
Alexander Horvath
Owner, Get Your Game On
What are your favorite card, board or
miniatures games?
1. "Magic: The Gathering": This cornerstone of the gaming market has
been around for 16 years, and continues to be as fresh today as it has ever been.
Deck construction is a work of art, and Ann Arbor's local competition is thebest
in Michigan.
2. "Agricola": Don't let the farming theme fool you. At around one hour of
play time, this is one of the most strategic board games on the market, with
immense replayability. Plays with anywhere from two to five players. I play this
every week.
3. "Dungeons & Dragons": It's an RPG, with miniatures! Whether you're
into 3.5 or the newer 4th edition, it's a classic!
4. "Small World": A newer board game that lets you play several fantasy
races in your questfor (small) world domination. This is a great "gateway" game
for non-gamers, as it's fun, a bit lighter and the theme is unique.
5. "Warhammer Fantasy": If I could just get my Bretonnia army painted in
the Game Of Thrones theme, I'd be ready to play. Someday.

ONLINE GAMES OF THE WEEK
PIXEL
Play as a strange blob-like ship as you traverse the
screen, blowing up your enemies into bursts of pix-
els. Shoot pixels at your enemies and watch as they
explode. See how lengthy a combo of explosions you
can get by stringing together well-timed blasts. The
game is beautifully chaotic and stylistically cool.
Unlockable bonuses including a psychedelic seizure
mode make "Pixel" fun to play many times through.

BUBBLE BLASTER
As if "Buhhle Spinner" weren't cool enough, along
comes "Bubble Blaster" to up the ante. Spin a cluster
of bubbles around and try to match up colors in groups
of three or more. The new twist? You have a computer
opponent at the top of your screen trying to outblast
you. Earn a higher score than the AI within three min-
utesto advance to the next a level, where even more
challenges await.

SINGLE REVIEW
KAREN 0 AND THE KIDS
"ALL IS LOVE"
Spike Jonze's wildly anticipated adaptation of Maurice Sendak's children's clas-
sic "Where the Wild Things Are" not only features a screenplayby literary favorite
Dave Eggers (writer of "Away We Go"),but a soundtrack including a series of collab-
orations by such hipster heavyweights as Deerhunter's Bradford Cox, Liars's Aaron
Hemphill and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O. This assortment of high-profile art-
ists has teamed together under the name Karen O and the Kids to produce a series
of tracks capturing the picture's mischievous nature. The soundtrack's first single
"All Is Love" features subdued, lullaby-like guitar strings and an untrained chil-
drens' choir carrying the song's simplistic notes. The chorus, proclaiming the pow-
ers of human emotion, highlights the curious nature of the film's child protagonist.
Uncomplicated and jovial, the track grants a glimpse of what the picture may offer. *
