Solve Unamusement has been closed, but that does not mean you can't still find random amusements or keep in touch with the former author of this blog.

Everything shall be on the author's deviantART journal and there is a feed to go with it.

Wonka's Back!


Alright readers, its time for a little more Creepy Wonka except this time he's set to music. So Solve Unamusement has this "weird thing" for the original Willy Wonka film and it probably says things about this writer's personality which are horrible to be saying but that is the cost of journalism such as mine.

Dubstep is a sub-genre techno and Caspa is apparently a big name within that genre of techno but we don't exactly do "journalistic research" here at Solve Unamusement. This isn't late breaking news or comments on the latest technology. Heck, our standard for emulation and ROMs is set dynamically on "personal opinion."

Back to Dubstep, Caspa and Wonka we give you the following.

Don't Fear The Reaper


No really, there is absolutely no reason to fear "The Reaper" at all. No, this isn't about that rock song from the 80s. Was it the 80s? Wouldn't know seeing as I grew up in the 90s. Though if you've got that song, specifically, going through your head you could drown it out with something just as repetitive until you're done reading. You'll at least stop hearing the chorus of Don't Fear The Reaper specifically. You'll still have something ringing in your head over and over, but it wont be "Don't Fear The Reaper."

Back to what we were originally talking about, there isn't a need to fear the The Reaper. Death, the actual act of dying you might still want to fear but the deity that governs it you'll be over. See, once you realize that death is nothing but a big dork/dweeb he's not that scary.

When you think about it, he (assuming The Reaper even has a sex) has been bested by: children, a garage band, Peter Griffin and the French. Now you might get three of those examples (especially considering the content linked to them) in context but the last is probably lost to you, so let us fix this.

Roller Coaster Junkie


So we all remember Tarboy and his awesomeness. Well the animator of that film has something rather interesting for the animation connoisseur. The animation is to a song that might end up going into that hated of labels, Rampage, but nothings nothing compared to future song irritations I have lined up for the lot of you.

Roller Coaster Junkie is a very short animation based rather literal on the song by HANIA (Link to last FM.) and its a fun song as well as animation. For fun, here is the finished product as well as the original animatic.

Ballad of Black Mesa


During Half Life 2 Randomness there was something which was missed so lets take care of that quickly.

Zombie Survivalist


So one tries to Google only to find something else and that is the most interesting of finds. The original search was for the Survival of the Dead trailer but as of this post the thing isn't on-site yet. Rather than search G4tv the first time, I instead chose to Google, like stated previously.

What was found was a short 8 minute Independent film about one guy's first few days in a suddenly aware zombie apocalypse. The film, itself, doesn't show many zombies but the feel of the film has a nice creepy edge to it. The film is first person POV so anyone who doesn't enjoy that view-point of films will be instantly turned off.

Mushroom Farm Defender


Anyone that follows my twitter knows that there is still a search for a free, downloadable tower defense game. There are literally THOUSANDS of flash ones, so here is one of those flash ones that is very amusing.

Mushroom Farm Defender is a tower defense game about garden gnomes, uber insects and cacti. The controls are very simply point-and-click, with easy to tell tower (gnome) distances and power by simply looking at the screen without really needing to read much of anything.

I'll note, personally, you can beat most games with the cacti and cacti alone, provided you place them correctly, but its a fun flash game about tower defenses.

Egyptian Earth


Earth Day...

...passed some time ago but that doesn't mean we can't do green type things all year long. Green things like Blog Action Day which I personally phoned in with some nonsense. Surprising no one called me on that one. Back to the topic at hand, which is somewhat about Earth Day but not really.

Things to do that are green in nature. There are the obvious things like poking the internet as that produces a minimal amount of hazardous waste, I think. Anyway, green type amusements, maybe.

Firstly we should all know how to sing and dance. What that has to do with Earth Day escapes me but that's a note which is being mentioned. Sing and dance! Lets use a wooden flute so it is more green and for shits and giggles lets play something Egyptian.

Internet Argumentation


The internet is a place to argue and look like a jackass or an asshole respectively. It all comes down to a few standard behaviors and understandings. When "debating" about religion, politics or even how your favorite site has "to many noobs", it all boils down to a few simple arguments.

What arguments? Well you live under a rock, it seems. However, if you insist, I'll help you out with an interesting comic that was directed toward me not to long ago.

Such A Groovy Guy


Here is a quickie for you. The next time you get some random person describing how cool and/or awesome he is to you, just think of this song. I be you'll be able to take that person's annoyance with as mile, now. Go on, give it a try!

Half Life 2 Randomness


There is this thing about the internet. You see, it is filled with random stuff and sometimes that stuff is really good but usually that is not the case. Once in awhile you get something that is both really good and not so much, at the same time. This is a true oddity among the internet noise that is, well, the internet noise.

Take one part Garry's Mod with two parts random and one part of armature Robot Chicken and you've got yourself a good idea of what to expect from the rest of this post, or at least the suggested amusements.

Cleaning The ReBoot


Found some dust bunnies! Not literally, of course, did Solve Unamusement have dust enough to be alive and shouting profanity. So upon cleaning the left overs that was that horrible pile of bookmarked items that went on forever and took a long while to compile, there was stuff worth mentioning separately.

One of those items was a cartoon from my mid-teens-ish. It played on Cartoon Network after school from around my sixth grade year until ninth or tenth. That's a good run time for a cartoon, when it actually has a plot. That's right, one of the first Saturday Morning Cartoons posted that had a running and working plot. Though if it was stated this plot involved a mainframe, incoming game warnings and the literal word "Reboot", you might already get whats going on.

Reboot!

Cleaning House


It is springtime, sorta-kinda, and as such it is time to clean house. Though the writer of Solve Unamusement isn't much for cleaning-cleaning as there is little reward for it (at least with current residences), however bookmarking amusements can get so cluttering so fast.

So today is a list, a long list at that, of random things that do not go together in any manner beyond being a possible amusement. Most of these things were stumbled upon randomly, linked to by friends or otherwise poked via the internet and done nothing about. Time to clean house, I say.

I am NOT an Asshole!


Those of you who read Solve Unamusement on a regular type of basis may or may not feel that the writer of this blog is a little bit of an asshole. Those whom speak to me, actually speak with me or use an instant messenger client, might think this as well. I am here, now, to clear up this little misunderstanding.

Posts like this, labels like this and most (if not all) of Blog News might give off the wrong impression. If anything, folks, I'm a nerd more than anything. Posts about video games, Yu-Gi-Oh and old cartoons is proof of this.

However, if we sill insist on the whole "Asshole thing", lets look into it further.

The Rapage Continues.. AGAIN!


A good time ago there were two posts here, on Solve Unamusement, about songs that might or might not get stuck in your head and/or annoy you for days on end. Those two posts, if you wish to see them, were cleverly named Silly Song Rampage and Continuing The Rampage (Silly Songs 2). to keep with the theme of these posts, and to add another odd little random bit to Solve Unamusement, we shall continue this for today.

For this day, there are three songs given. Only three songs, yet they will pop into your head after years of never hearing them only to torment your soul until you finally give in (as I have done). Some might even find these songs good, and I honestly do, but they will haunt your life for the next week or so, I promise.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Another Quick Amusement (Music)


A little Lady Gaga in my Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged? Short of things, yes, that's exactly what is going on here. Not for everyone but it will amuse a few of you.
