Damn, BadassBuddy... You OLD!

On Sep 24, 2010, BadassBuddy will be 10 years old.

A decade ago BadassBuddy.com went from 0 to Badass in about 2.5 lunar cycles (the Web's 21st fastest growing site at the time), and the birth of an Internet anti-hero turned into a fleeting past-time for millions of chat-zombies around the globe (before SpaceBook took ownership of the majority of our free time). At times BadassBuddy was almost as impressive as the best xkcd ever!, with aspirations of being just half as cool as the worst Homestar Runner ever. (..negatory..)

10 years ago the BadassBuddy concept essentially began with just one simple piece of "edgy" pixel art that made AOL Instant Messenger™®© appear to have a nifty new feature:

Unfortunately, pixel art has since been considered a dying art form, however the ninjas over at pixeljoint.com will show you that pixel creativity is in fact still very much alive (and I know you still love retro video gaming when you're not FPS'ing and rocking out with pretend instruments).

So I'd like to wish BadassBuddy a happy 10 year anniversary, but more importantly I'd like to thank the brilliant artists, the mediocre artists (gotta start somewhere), the blog entry contributors, the web designers and content managers, the rockingest server admin ever, and everybody else involved, for all of the hard work and passion that went in to making a unique contribution to the interwebs.

Love Is In The Air!

Love & Valentines Day Buddy Icons

It's baaaaack! Valentine's Day - as well as Lunar New Year - is just around the corner! If you don't have any particular love in your life, just play it off like you're planning a crazy Lunar New Year celebration on February 14th and had completely forgotten about Valentine's Day (even though you can't go anywhere without seeing roses for sale, bright red decorations, pink teddy bears, and delicious teeth-rotting love-themed chocolates & candies). It's party time, singles!

Happy New Year!

New Year Buddy Icons and Avatars

The year is 2010. The planet: Earth.
(The calendar: Gregorian apparently)

The Internet has become self-aware and is rapidly taking over the world by means of friend requests and tweets. Mankind has been given two primary options: Facebook & Twitter... except the catch is that there is only one true option: submit to the Internet (just don't double-click Submit).

Advanced Internets in distant parts of the Universe are collaborating to introduce Earth's Internet into the universal network of interplanetary Spacewebs, beaming data from galaxy to galaxy like a super fast dial-up modem... only way faster. In some cases your emails may get bounced back to you before you even send them thanks to black holes and Spock manning the email server.

Global Warming has decided to take a vacation (bring back something cool!) while Water Shortages tap-dance their way to center stage. Meanwhile, we R all Bcoming much smartR thx 2 txt MSGing & better at expressing our feelings digitally using smiley faces, emoticons, avatars, and buddy icons. :)))

THAT BEING SAID, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR, BADASS BUDDIES!!!!!

Halloween Strategy Time!

1. Get that last minute sheet-over-the-head ghost costume worked out so that you're mentally ready to accept gobs of candy from strangers.

2. Make sure everybody in your neighborhood is Tweeting on Halloween so that you can determine where the best candy is in the neighborhood in real time.

3. Go straight to the house that has the best candy, making sure to bring with you an empty pillow case, and strategically work your way back home hitting all the good spots, thereby minimizing time away from the PC.

Good luck! Happy Halloween!

Get Your Love On!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner so if you've got a sig-other, you'd better start figuring out what's going to make or break your relationship on V-Day! And if you're single, embrace it! Love isn't always an easy walk in the park. Oftentimes it's more like a sketchy drive down a steep mountain with unreliable breaks and a flat tire.

Happy Valentine's Day!
