Lately, I feel like everything's falling apart. Maybe it's because the upstairs air conditioner wasn't draining properly and left a puddle in the carpet, or because the shower head has become more broken than before, or because the machines at work have been tag-teaming me on going down, or because my car wouldn't start the other day, or because I spent an hour tracking down slowness on our network only to find it was my roommate downloading ten things at once, or because the leaking kitchen faucet got a lot worse and was soaking the whole sink area, necessitating that it be replaced, and that the particleboard behind the sink has to dry for three days before the new faucet can be installed. Or maybe not.

But none of that is bothering me now, because I have great news. You probably aren't familiar with Scott Pilgrim and his comic book adventures. Well, get familiar, because it's spun off something absolutely jaw-dropping. No, I'm not talking about the movie for which they cast the wrong guy as the title character. Hold on a minute, I'm going to need to back up a minute to properly explain this.

Do you remember Paul Robertson? He's the guy who did all of those videos that looked like they were SNK video games, like Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight, or Kings of Power 4Billion%, or the music video for Architecture in Helsinki's Do the Whirlwind. Yeah, that guy. He's finally getting to do what he loves to do — Paul Robertson is the lead artist for the Scott Pilgrim Video Game.

If you've got a sharp ear, you'll note the other surprise in that video. The soundtrack will be done by none other than Anamanaguchi.

Best.

Game.

Ever.

:D
