Hex Silliness: Fun with L33t

"Hex Silliness" ME3DIA (February 26, 2008)

"The realization that l33tspeak could be applied to hex values in Photoshop led to a few minutes of frivolity."

It's been updated, to include "COFFEE," "DECAFF," and more: Including the inevitable relevant political stuff.

Still: it's a funny application of

Meet:

• Largo, who spends most of his time fleeing on a stolen muffin scooter, and once appeared in a teddy bear costume because he thought he needed a disguise.
• Piro, who has exactly no self-esteem, yet manages to be cool - usually by accident - when he wants Kimiko to like him.
• Kimiko, who became an overnight celebrity, and is having a difficult time dealing with it.

And lots of other characters.

There seem to be zombies involved, various otaku¹ who Largo mistakes for zombies, the Cataclysm Department of the Tokyo Police, and Rent-A-Zilla.

My daughter introduced me to MegaTokyo yesterday. She tells me that the overgrown T-Rexoid with a titanic dog collar I saw in today's MegaTokyo front page was from Rent-A-Zilla. It was stomping zombies.

I'm told that the gags are funnier, if you know L33t².
