Ways to use a Vuvuzela

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZ!!

Yep. This one’s about as straightforward as they come. Naturally, the World Cup is now over, but given the marketing machine that was this year’s event and the borg-like assimilation mentality that went along with World Cup fever, we know you’ve got a vuvuzela at home that you’re now wondering why you bought and are trying to determine a use for. We thought we’d help you out.

You may be wondering where we found all these vuvzelas – well, it turns out that Toys R’ Us got in on the vuvuzela action this year, selling low cost vuvuzelas to every bandwagon jumper they could find. Or rather, they would have, if they hadn’t shipped 120 horns to our local store the day the world cup ended. Suffice to say, we got a good deal on them.

In other news, this week’s Unskippable is Dead to Rights: Retribution. I hear there’s a doggy in it.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Crapshot Roundup – July 23, 2010
July 24th, 2010

Posted by Matt

So, this roundup was supposed to be a weekly thing, featuring all three Crapshots from each week, but it turns our that Alex has some difficulties keeping rigid (That’s what she said! -m) …schedules. As a result of his rather limp performance (ha! -m) there weren’t three videos up last week, and so I didn’t have a full set to “round up”.

Today however, I’m going to combine all of the Crapshots from the last two weeks into a single tag-team Crapshot post of awesomeness. Enjoy:

Crapshots Ep.40 – The Explanation

Crapshots Ep.41 – The Automaton

Crapshots Ep.42 – The Offer

Crapshots Ep.43 – The Match

Crapshots Ep.44 – The Plaza

Graham here this week, I thought I’d tell you a bit about this video.

It wasn’t supposed to be so hard. But for some reason it was an absolute slog to get this thing finished.

On the Escapist forums, user pigsnoutman noted the following:
“…this should’ve been the Commodore hustle to introduce to the escapist.”

And, interestingly, having been written 4 months ago, it was going to be.
