Hi!  I'm Mike Pomranz from Tosh.0.  And I'm here at Starbucks to purchase and drink a coffee.

But first, 11 seconds on what Starbucks is.  Starbucks is a coffee chain, and what you do there is simple: you purchase coffee, maybe get something to eat, and you do work or meet with other people.  Work is something you do when you're not wasting your life playing social media games on your smartphone like a loser.

Today, I've created a new challenge called "Spot the awkward weirdos fist bumping their phones together."  It's just like when you normally spot awkward weirdos, but these weirdos will have a tech-dorky vibe to them.

Alright!  So let's give it a try!

Hey, there they are!  One's wearing a pair of sunglasses he bought in 1992 and the other is probably like, um, "a six."

Now why don't you two shut the fuck up so I can get some blogging done in peace and quiet.  Thanks!

At the University of Alabama, this is a varsity sport.

Tap Tap Revenge, a popular Guitar Hero-style game for the iPhone app store, has just released a Nickelback version of the game.

Here's how Mashable reported on the release.  See if you notice anything suspicious about this story:

Tapulous…has just launched Nickelback Revenge, the latest addition to its popular Tap Tap Revenge franchise.

The app…includes eleven of the band?s most popular songs.

[The game] is compatible with iOS 4 so all new iPhone 4 owners who also like Nickelback can rock out with no worries. [...]

Nickelback Revenge is $4.99 and available now.

Did you spot it?  Did you see what's wrong?!

That's right!  $4.99 is way too cheap for a Nickelback iPhone game!  Go grab it now before they realize what they've done and jack up the price!

This video of the shortest possible game of Monopoly has been gaining a lot of attention on the Internet recently.

Two guys actually sat down and planned the whole thing out beforehand and then staged what the theoretical event might look like.

I'd like to believe that this is the shortest possible game of Monopoly.  I really would.  But I envision a shorter game:

Someone asks me if I want to play a game of Monopoly.  I proclaim, "F' that shit" and crack the Monopoly board over their skull.

Estimated game time: 3 seconds.  Winner: Everyone.

Google got quite a buzz going today by creating a playable version of Pac-Man in the shape of their logo on the top of their search page.  The stunt celebrates the 30th birthday of Pac-Man.

Alright, Google.  We get it.  You're awesome.

Not to be outdone though, I'm trying to pull together a little stunt of our own for the Tosh.0 website!

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the classic, never-officially-released-in-the-United-States puzzle game, Flappy, I am in negotiations with dB-SOFT to get a Flappy level in the shape of the Tosh.0 logo!

It may or may not look something like this:

I'd like to see someone out there top Flappy!  It can't be done, son!

Making this music video isn't as hard as it looks.

All he had to do was use a computer!

Cheater!

Most retro crap on the Internet is garbage: It's like, here's a T shirt with some character from Mr. Belvedere on it that you don't even remember LOL!

Retro for the sake of retro is lame.  If you're gonna talk retro, bring something new into the mix …which is why Super Mario Crossover is so sweet.

The idea is simple: Play the original Super Mario Bros. with a selection of other NES classic characters.  There's Samus from Metroid, Link, Mario himself, Mega Man, Simon from Castlevania, and the dude from Contra who's name no one knows or cares about.

What makes it interesting is that each character retains their signature moves from their own games.  For some characters it's a bitch: Like Samus is too tall to squat down and shoot at Goombas.  I've gained a lot of respect for all the hard work Mario and Luigi have done over the years.

It might not be the most fun you've ever had, but it is interesting, and will remind you why Link is such a pussy.  Give the game a try here before any of the multiple copyright holders who's rights are being infringed upon file a complaint.

Someone has gone and turned 2009 into a web-based flash game called "2009: The Game."

Unfortunately, it looks like 2009: The Game was made using 1982: The Technology From.  That could have been cool, if the game had actually been made in 1982 and predicted the coming of Bernie Madoff.  But instead, 2009 comes across like the year people got too lazy to make decent games.

Go give it a try if you want to end your year on a boring note!

Tonight is the fourth (I think??) night of Hanukkah, and here is my gift to you: Strip Dreidel!

Strip dreidel is just like strip poker, but instead of poker you play the Hanukkah top-spinning game, dreidel, and instead of playing with just any old stripper, all of your strippers are Jews!

If this sounds like fun, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.  I wanted to find out whether this game needed to be labeled NSFW.  After playing for nearly 30 minutes, all I saw was a couple of Jewish girls holding up their shoes.

Turns out Jews are as prude on the Internet as they are in real life.

If you really want to get some Jewish ladies to strip, try doing a "Power Manischewitz Hour" instead.  I've heard the Elderberry flavored one is the real panty dropper.
