Variety’s whipped up an online tribute to Disneyland’s 50th. Expect to see Disneyland all over the news this week as the 50th celebration kicks off on Wednesday for the media, and Thursday for everyone else.
Technically Disneyland’s 50th birthday is on July 17th, but I guess “050505″ seemed like a better day to celebrate the big “50″.
The Hot Dog Rollup looks like the smell alone would send you into instant cardiac arrest. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t mind eating one.
Game & Game, the makers of the super awesome Shot Online have three other totally free multiplayer online games that look super sweet.
Navy Field is a tactical simulation of WWII ocean battles, d.o looks like a Final Fantasy-ish game, and Legend of Mir3 looks like a pretty fancy Diablo clone. Based on the screenshots I think the last two haven’t been translated to English yet, but I will investigate this weekend!
According to an anonymous Czech musician, Diablo III is in the works.

Just a follow up to my previous post…
WDR appears to have been taken by surprise by the insane interest in the CD box set – so much so that they’re now releasing a new ‘Special Edition’ of the set.
Producer Randy Thorton chimes in with an explanation.
This just makes those gold vinyl albums that much more valuable!
edit: The non-limited edition is item #61589 at DisneyDirect.
For Disneyland’s 50th anniversary, they’re releasing a beautiful six-CD boxed set of theme park audio, complete with a hardcover book explaining the history of the CDs’ contents. The whole she-bang is $124.99.
But wait, there’s more. The first 5000 of these box sets will also include a gold vinyl reproduction of the exceedingly rare “Walt Disney Takes You To Disneyland” album from 1956, the first album ever released by Walt Disney Records.
3000 of these first 5000 sets will be available at Disneyland itself on or around the launch of the 50th celebration next Thursday the 5th, and 1000 will be available at WDW. The remaining 1000 have been set aside for online sales and are available for purchase NOW at DisneyDirect. (Search for item number 61499. If it doesn’t come up, they’re sold out.)
DD has already sold roughly half of their allotment in two days, so if you’d like to guarantee yourself a copy of that highly-sought after golden record you should really order it now.
This $125 item is already up to $174 on ebay, so there’s money to be made, for sure.
LA is actually Mexico according to channel 62.
Google maps on your Tivo! You can pan, zoom, snap to zip codes, and even toggle between maps and satellites.
I’m not sure how this keeps happening, but Angels tickets keep falling into our lap!
Last night our season-ticket-holding next-door neighbors invited us to watch the Angels beat the Indians 2-0.
I’m beginning to think that there are no bad seats at Angels Stadium. No matter where we end up sitting we always have a sweet view of all the action!
When live-action role players tell themselves they can act, you wind up with movie trailers like this one.
Oh god! Fully grown adult nerds with Nerf swords are storming the soccer field!
Riveting.
