Jordan Verner is blind . And he posted a few videos of himself playing through parts of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Youtube. But he wanted more, he wanted to beat the whole game . Thankfully, Roy Williams saw his videos. Through Skype, Jordan said he asked for help in completing the entire game — help that he didn’t seriously expect. So Williams and thee other diehard gamers each took different parts and copied down every single move. “Every time we make a move, we roll, jump, do anything, we type down on the computer exactly what we’re doing,” said Williams. Verner would then take the script and have his computer read it to him as he played. An average gamer will take about a week to play through the entire thing, but this project took almost 2 years and more than 100,000 keystrokes. Finally, Jordan beat the entire thing. “I felt great,” said Jordan. “I felt strong. I felt like the sky’s the limit.” “Our school’s motto — and I live by it — is the impossible is only the untried,” said Jordan. First of all, HOW THE F*** DID YOU GET PAST THE WATER TEMPLE?! And secondly, is that not the most beautiful thing you’ve ever heard? Because it is to me and I’ve heard angels sing ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ with full orchestration and five-part harmony and stuff like that. Hit the jump for a worthwhile video news report about the project.

Because I’m just so damn proud of what you Geekologie Readers can accomplish when you stop posting ‘FIRST!’ in the comments and actually put your mind to something, this is an awesome slow-motion video created by Geekologie loyalist Mike. Mike, you know I’m a sucker for destroying things! love geekologie, super loyal follower! wanted to send you links to an art video i just finished called Pink Terror. I shot it on a phantom camera at a very high speed rate, 1800 frames per second. And they say art is dead. Pfft, you showed them. Honestly, that was beautiful. And the Hawking dialogue was perfect. I’m just so proud. *sniff* Excuse me, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m serious — granola bar. Somebody kick me in the nads, STAT! Youtube and Vimeo Thanks to mike, for restoring my faith in Geekologie Readers.

In bad news for guys who can’t grow a beard , a recent study indicates that women find a little facial hair and a geeky personality the two biggest turn-ons . Really? THEN WHY HAVEN’T I EVER SEEN A BOOB?! Despite complaining that it looks unkempt and feels rough to touch, the unshaven look on a man is actually a turn-on for 41 per cent of women. A slightly geeky personality came second, proving that women really do like a guy who knows their stuff when it comes to technology. A hairy chest was voted third, followed by a man who loves to read or cries at a soppy film. Other secret turn-ons to feature in the top ten include grey hair, glasses and being a passionate supporter of a sports team. The poll of 2,500 women also revealed that 91 per cent would actually prefer a guy who had a few flaws over someone who is perfect. And more than half would rather a guy who was soft and cuddly instead of toned and muscly. Jesus, you’d think I was God’s gift to women the way that list reads. Well, provided God’s gift to women glues pubes to his face and cheers for the Steelers. WHICH HE DOES. The perfect man is a geek with facial stubble… women’s secret turn-ons revealed [dailymail] Thanks to Comfort Eagle, who still made me feel better despite pecking my eyes out.

I remember seeing this video (the original Japanese commercial for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ) a long time ago, and you’re probably gonna yell at me because you sent it to me years ago, but you know what? I’m not gonna let it get to me. You can’t make me feel bad. But you can make me a sandwich. And you know what? YOU’RE GOING TO. Triangle cut, no crust, no pubes. Youtube via Zelda dance [wtfjapanseriously] Thanks to Spikey DaPikey and Dan, who actually perform that dance at clubs and impress all the womens.

Sure the Superbowl has come and gone, but the Saints beat the shit out of the Colts , did they not? WHO DAT?! It’s me, silly — the GW! That masterpiece of culinary greatness (and bacon) is called the Bacon Lombardi Trophy, or Bacombardi Trophy for short, and thanks to a great find from our friends over at BBQ Addicts blog, we now know what a Super Bowl trophy made entirely out of bacon looks like. According to their post, this monstrosity of bacon madness was created by Ben “Sweet Lou” Krout, and naturally, it was made for their recent Super Bowl party. All I can say after seeing the pictures is “Damn, that is beautiful.” Damn, that is beautiful. But what I want to know is what the actual armature is made of. Pound cake? Corn dogs? Because I could seriously f*** with some corn dogs right now. The Bacon Lombardi Trophy is God-Like [internationalfoul] Thanks to Doug, who once baked and ate a Stahamley Cup. GOAL!

NOTE : Jump is NSFW due to glass-cutting nipplery. This is a little series of modeling shots taken by Model Mayhem user iFeminine (link is NSFW !). It’s LEGO minifigs mining for milk. Or…something. All I know is there are nipples , a cannon and an octopus involved, arguably making this the best series of pictures on the internet. There’s just no topping it. Not even with dino pasties. Nipple tie-in FTW! Ahhhhh, you still got it, GW, you still got it. Hit it for the rest of the NSFW series, along with a completely unrelated pic (minus being taken by the same photographer) of the Incredible Hulk holding a pair of breasts.

This $40 backpack from Hot Topic (I know, I secretly love that place too!) holds shit and makes you look like a ninja turtle . What more could you ask for from a bookbag ? Jesus, it’s not gonna do your math homework. This backpack is in the shape of a half-shell and includes four masks. Turtle power! WOOT! That’s right, the bag includes masks in all four turtle colors! I like turtles! AND getting high in the Turtle Van. Come on guys, make me an honorary member. I’ll wear the brown mask AND WIELD A F***ING LIGHTSABER! Now, give it to me straight — which one of you is banging April? Master Splinter — GTFO!! Product Site via The Daily What Thanks to Pete, who once pulled Krang out his android body’s stomach and beat him with a shovel.

This is ‘Crawler Town’, a rolling LEGO city built by Flickr user and skilled LEGOlier Dave DeGobbi . And, like Rome , it wasn’t built in a day. OR SO THE HISTORY BOOKS SAY. They also don’t mention alien subcontractors, but I have my doubts. Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes Good looking, Dave. Reminds me of the opposite of Water World. What would we call that, Land World? Mad Maxtopia? I dunno, but I do know the 2Pac video for ‘California Love’ is the shit. “As soon as I step on the scene, I’m hearin’ hoochies screamin’.” Oh yeah, I can relate. Wait — are you bitches calling the cops?! I posted a couple more shots after the jump, but you should definitely hit David’s Flickr gallery (with more shots coming soon) to appreciate the build in high-res.
