Warning: this episode of our nightly off-topic post, where anyone is welcome to comment on anything they want, might have an odor. Temperatures at Kotaku Towers West today reached a toasty 113º Farenheit and things got a little sweaty.
That’s the hottest downtown Los Angeles has ever been, according to the LA Times, so excuse the perspiration-soaked nature of this post. Amazingly, California’s highest recorded temperature was a blistering 134º, a peak set in Death Valley (naturally) in 1913. Rather than complain about knee sweats and a lack of AC, I’m staying positive. At least I don’t live in Las Vegas or Baghdad, where people deal with this heat often.
Let’s cool things down with some relaxing conversation, some non-video game related news and a trailer for True Grit.
Segway owner dies by falling off Segway – OK, so he fell of a cliff, but still. What a way to go.
Ben & Jerrys drops “all natural” from its ice cream packaging – C’mon! It’s not like alkalized cocoa, corn syrup, and partially hydrogenated soybean oil just come out of nowhere!
The Coen brothers True Grit trailer – Very exciting.
Americans don’t want to farm – AP: “Most Americans simply don’t apply for jobs harvesting fruits and vegetables in California, where one of every eight people is out of work.” Yeah, but farming is really, really hard.
An interview with Violent J from Insane Clown Posse – On the band’s new Western.
