Magical game time. It’s basically a bunch of game themed comic strips (mostly nintendo) by comic artist Zac Gorman. They encapsulate so much of my childhood/teenage gaming experience. Expect a few reblogs.
If you don’t reblog this, get off of tumblr.

So I was in Paris last week, yeah. It was a few fun days full of all of the fanciest things; crêpes, chocolat, fraternité, frolicking, fish eye lenses, and frenchies! If you’re interested in looking through my photos, you can find them here. Go ahead and friend me on Facebook if we’re bros, too. Shout out to my models!
I just remembered that whilst we were on the train to London last Sunday I tried to remember and write down all 150 original pokemon.
It started because my friend said that in a drinking game he had played the previous night some guy had had to name 30, and I was quick to pipe up “I could do all 150!!”
So I probably spent about 25-30 minutes before I gave up at, what I think is a quite respectable, 145. The five that eluded me were Goldeen and Seaking, Krabby and Kingler and finally (we had to resort to the internet for this one because NOBODY could think of it)..
Okay, so there were quite a few photos of our adventures in Paris, but bombarding people with 70 odd photos of yourself is more of a facebook thing, so here are two.
The first is four of us doing our ‘High School Music’ jump in front of the Eiffel Tower, and the second is our recreation of one of the carvings on the Arc de Triomphe. (Our creativity in our camera pose was actually enough to get a complete stranger to take a photo of us as well).
I didn’t take any photos, these were the product of my friend impossiblyblack.
Reblogging for the top photo.

Here are a couple of shots of Paris taken by me (or someone we met at the hostel for the middle one), and our antics. The middle one is my personal favourite.
Even Monkeys Can Sense a Raw Deal
Are animals moral? It’s an ongoing debate, and one that is prone to anthropomorphizing animal behaviors. But scientists have been able to track down cases of moral judgment in certain species. Here’s a pretty hilarious example.
Capuchin monkeys love grapes. But they’ll also eat cucumbers if you give them one. They just really prefer grapes. This team had the monkeys complete a task, simply putting a stone in the handler’s palm, and then they got their food reward. Only they could see what the other monkey was getting. The first round goes fine, and one gets a grape while the other is given only cucumber. Next round? Well, that’s in the video :)
The researchers concluded that the monkeys were, in fact, weighing the deal they got, and responding with feelings of envy and frustration. Even more, when both get cucumbers, they are perfectly happy with that snack! It seems to be all about fairness and cooperation for them. It fits with the social nature of primates, as cooperating groups would be biologically rewarded.
While pretty funny, it definitely shows signs that some of our core emotions may have very basic neurological roots!
Here’s a link to the full videotaped talk on monkeynomics and moral behavior in animals by Frans de Waal.
This is brilliant. I sure hope that other monkey got some grapes though…
