Are you Ken?!? Sure you're Ken!!!



Okay, everyone better enjoy that comic strip because it took me 15 minutes to upload a version that wasn't blurry. Anyways, if you have not heard, Street Fighter IV is out for the PS3 and the XBox 360. So I went to go buy it on Tuesday, but to my dismay it was sold out everywhere. FML. Hopefully, everyone got the joke; if not, click the link, read a few lines, and then laugh at my joke.

Anyways, on to the topic at hand. In Street Fighter IV, they removed the parry system from Street Fighter 3 and added a new focus attack system. The focus attack works great offensively, as well as it does defensively, allowing you to block, stun, cancel, and counter into devastating combos. If you don't believe me watch this:



Okay, honestly those combos in the last minute of that video are ridiculous. Anyone that has flashier combos than that guy, please post them on TVLesson. In addition to the focus attack system, Capcom decided to add ultra combos, no relation to the Killer Instinct Ultra Combos, but just a amazing:



Street Fighter IV surpasses all expectations and was well worth the wait. Thank you Capcom and keep up the good work. Well, TGIF and have a wonderful weekend. Oh wait, one last thing before I go, here is the greatest moment in Street Fighter history:

Friday the 13th

Did you know Friday the 13th is the most widespread superstition across the United States? Many people call off work and refuse to go out of the house on this dreadful day. Me on the other hand would be more afraid of staying at home because this guy might come after me:


Not sure why the number 13 is associated with misfortune, but legend has it that if 13 people sit down to have dinner together, then one of them will die within the year. Also, many cities do not have a 13th street or avenue and many buildings do not have a 13th floor (does that mean the floor is empty or do they just skip the number 13 and make it 14, but then doesn't that make the 14th floor the 13th floor). There are also 13 witches in a coven. Finally, if you have 13 letters in your name, then you will have the devil's luck. Some people who have 13 letters in their names are Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy, Jack the Ripper, and Albert De Salvo (Good thing I only have 9 letters in my name or I might have chosen a different career). So using logic and deductive reasoning let's figure out why most people deem friday the 13th to be such an unlucky day. Friday is the 6th day of the week. One of the assiociations to the number 6 is man (God created man on the 6th day). History seems to deem the number 13 with misfortune. Therefore, Friday the 13th is a day of man's misfortune, which could be why people are so superstitious this time of year. If you disagree with my logic (knowing me I'm probably completely off), then throw up a comment; other than that happy Friday the 13th.

Me talking about friday the 13th has left me little time to talk about Valentine's Day. Maybe I'm bitter because I have no plans for that day. I would get all into the history of Valentine's Day too, but I think this post is long as it is. However, I will share a funny video that caught my eye on What not to do on Valentine's Day. Honestly, has anyone ever done any of that stuff on the video?

Well, I promised you a post and there it is. Wasn't really about Valentine's Day, but hey take what you can get.

What is covered in peanut peanut butter, wrapped in cookie dough, and completely deep fried?

A BROWNIE!!!!!

Yea, that joke did not make any sense; but I had no idea how to introduce this picture. If you think you could have made a better title please post a comment. Anyways, on to the good stuff, by good stuff I mean that deep fried brownie covered and smothered with peanut butter and cookie dough along with the other delectable treats I'm about to post for your viewing pleasure:


This is a cheeseburger with a 15lb hamburger patty from Denny's Beer Barrel Pub. I cannot even begin to imagine how all that fit into his stomach, but I congratulate anyone who has finished this burger.


Talk about the ultimate Super Bowl party snack tray. This thing has 58 twinkies, 1 pound of bacon, 1 bag of Doritos, 1 bag of Cheetos, 1 bag of tortilla chips, 1 bag of chex mix, and 3 different dips. Not to mention a 20 oz summer sausage as a blimp (not pictured above)

Introducing Gregory's 120oz steak. Now for the people who have actually finished this and lived to tell about it, I commend you all.

Now, I know people do not normally eat like this, but even as an indulgence don't you think it's a little much. With these kinds of portions cholesterol becomes an issue. However, there are many ways to lower cholesterol through diet and exercise. The only reason I bring this up is because, if you don't already know, James Gomez's father suffered from a minor heart attack this weekend. He is now in stable condition and hopes to be released from the hospital by the end of the week. Well, my time is running out (no I'm not dying, but it's time I got back to work) so just be wary of what you are eating and stay healthy.

Well, thanks for tuning in this week and I apologize for not blogging last week things have just been incredibly busy, but I will make it up to you and try and get one more post before the end of this week. Especially, since valentine's day is just around the corner.

The Coolest Video on TVLesson

Hello TVLesson,
Today, as I was searching through the TVLesson video database I came across this video.



This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. So amazing that I took time out of work just to blog about it in order to share it with everyone. He makes it look so easy, but I'm sure it's harder than it looks. Here are some others that I found simply astonishing:





The only thing I can say about this last picture is WOW!!!

One last thing before I go, if anyone has any information on how to do this or know a coffee place that can do this, please post a comment or email me at mike@tvlesson.com. I would love to have a video on TVLesson about how to do this or interview people that do know how to do this. This can be your shot at fame. Thank you.

Change and Challenge

Good morning to all our TVLesson viewers. Today is Day 1 of Obama's presidency, Day 1 of Change, and Day 1 of Challenge. I must say his speech at the inauguration was truly powerful and inspiring.



We must do our part to make this nation great again. So I encourage all of our viewers to post videos on how to make our nation great.

TVLesson would also like to announce CHANGE. You as members now have the option to be you, to be able to add some of your own style and flair to the site, with our new customizable profile page.

Like our nation, TVLesson is great because of its members. The differences in our styles, tastes, and interests fills this site with a myriad of lessons. Now to help in the advancement of our vast library, TVLesson would like to intrdouce our very own toolbar (Yes, that is my name on the screenshot. Can anyone guess my password?). The toolbar was specifically designed to be able to share any lesson found on the Internet. This toolbar will allow the user to embed videos into our library, bookmark videos without embed codes, and bookmark helpful websites onto our site. TVLesson has brought forth some change and would now like to challenge you to make this the greatest tutorial website on the Web.

A Look Back at 2008

It is the last day of 2008 and what a year it has been:

National Headlines



Political Headlines



Global Headlines



Sports Headlines



With everything going on this year no wonder TVLesson wasn't mentioned in any of those videos. So how about I have a TVLesson 2008: Year in Review. Meeting stars like Tyrone Wells, Gene LeBell, Rick Dees, Fred Travalena, and WWE Superstars; not to mention the trainer of WWE Diva, Maria, and California Boxing Hall of Famer, David Martinez TVLesson was able to gather tons of information on different careers. TVLesson was also there to cover the story on gay marriages and also score interviews with Jamie Chambers and Sid Garcia. TVLesson was also fortunate enough to obtain interviews with the great Stan Chambers and morning news star, Frank Buckley. Must say it has been quite a year; but this is not the end. This is just the beginning for TVLesson and with many more features coming in the 2009, TVLesson is going to start this year off with a bang. Happy New Year to all our viewers and see you all next year.
