Blame game

Forget Call of Duty, the hottest selling franchise in the last decade is the Blame Game. This is a game that is enjoyed by everyone. Imagine that, a game that has no target audience. Literally everyone out there is a consumer. Some people play the game casually, and then there's some people who play the game to the level of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman in the World of Warcraft episode of South Park.

Anyways, the newest release from the blame game franchise is called Russian Airport attack.

Back in the game

i find there's enough going on that i think it's high time i start throwing my 2 cents back in.

Sports

- NASCAR continues a downward spiral to oblivion. Kyle Busch is never going to be popular, no matter HOW many races he wins. Period. So take note NASCAR, your policy of "shove winners down the fan's throats like hot dogs in a competition no matter how much they don't care" is going to kill you. We didn't like having the douchebag jimmie johnson shoved in our faces and you are really really really pushing it with kyle busch. you aren't even being discreet about it. We know the fans hate Busch and that you want to mask that as desperately as you can. Know how i know that? You show like 5 seconds of footage of the stands when he wins. Stands not filled with people screaming their heads off. What am i talking about? Go look at the footage you have of Jr, Gordon (jeff), or Stewart winning a race. With the economy going the way it is you're already hurting for real NASCAR fans to show up. You're already waving your dick at the TV watching fans with the eleventy-ka-dillion commercials you show. Oh and by the way, trying to get Obama sponsorship? Why not just put a sign on the pace car that says "we promise we aren't racist" it'll be cheaper and save you some dignity.

- July sucks for sports. No NBA, No NFL, just Baseball. *gag*

- That chick playing basketball in the Olympics for Russia? My brother and i had a long discussion about her. No, i don't think she's a "traitor". If she didn't have such a strong case for saying she wasn't included because of back-room politics (how do you not ask a top 5 WNBA player to even try out?) I'd be inclined to tell her "you know what honey, lots of people who wanted to go to China didn't make it. Suck it the fuck up and try again in 4 years." but her not getting picked was a pretty shady deal. STILL.... she seems to want to not be hated and thought of in a negative light. Not going to happen. Just be glad you're in America. Other countries take the whole "representing your country" thing a SHITLOAD more seriously than we do.

- This whole Favre story needs to die. nobody seems to wanna see things from the Packers point of view. so let me help you out. they have to think of the team beyond the great Brett Favre. they have to consider certain possibilities and what they would do to the team. My sports-authority friend Robbie says that Favre is still a top 10 QB. Which begs the question "why the fuck would you give the enemy help by trading a GOOD player?" if you can negotiate a deal that makes your team better then by all means trade away, but if people are just asking you to release Favre just because he wants to play well fuck all that shit. you don't give the other teams ammo, that's just stupid. i mean, suppose they did get rid of Favre and he goes on the next season to win the superbowl? how stupid does Green Bay look THEN? the owner would have to move to Canada to escape death by fans. luckily it isn't far. so let's cut this "he's still got the itch to play we should do whatever he wants" shit.


Politics

- I love reading these articles talking about how members of congress are ragging on Bush. It makes me laugh because these bozos have an 18% approval rating. 18 fucking percent. not even 1/5 of the country thinks they're doing their job and they have the BALLS to criticize Bush? Of course, then i remember the American public has become a bunch of brain-dead nimrods who will ignore anything you do as long as you blame Bush for it. So i guess if i could suck at my job and people wouldn't even care, i'd be doing the same thing. Guess the joke is on us huh?

- Hey America, you DO realize that the Government is made of up more than just the President and Vice President right? contrary to what some of you geniuses believe, Bush and Cheney aren't running the whole show single-handedly. There is a Congress and Senate and Supreme Court also equally responsible for the mess we're in. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case some people decide to turn their brain on for a second.

- I really do hope Obama wins. first, because i wanna see what everyone does when life doesn't get better and there's no republicans or white men to blame. second, i wanna see if the general level of bitching from blacks about equality goes down some. doubt it. you think Spike Lee and Jessie Jackson are eager to get out of that nice little rut they're in? If he doesn't win, i honestly think we'll be seeing the end of the Democrat party as we know it. I think the moderate Dems will have been pushed over the edge and won't tolerate the lunatic fringe anymore. Right now i think they tolerate the moveon.org crowd because they want to win so bad they can taste it. but if it doesn't pay off, they're going to be pissed. So now that i think about it, maybe i don't want to see Obama win. Maybe it'll be more fun to watch the Democratic party eat itself alive.


Gaming

- nothing new here. Been playing nothing but World of Warcraft. I have a 70 Pally, a 70 Hunter and to avoid burnout i'm now leveling a Rogue.


Movies/TV

- The Dark Knight lives up to the hype and then some. Cinema godhood hath Heath Ledger attained.

- I'm in for some bittersweet TV viewing. Battlestar Galactica and The Shield.... when they come back on it's only to end the series.

- I can tell my sister is getting tired of me walking in while she's watching these dating reality shows (bachelor/bachelorette) and saying "so when are they going to ask one of these guys/girls if they can taste the dozen other men/women on the person they just made out with?"


Personal Life

- none. I go to work, i come home, i game, i surf the web. I don't have a life. meh. I'm cool with that. i see no need to spend the time/money/effort to go out.

The Warcraft one is the best, hands down. The Quake one is nice though.

Video Game Bonding



I can tell you from personal experience that video games have on occation brought me and my father closer. The biggest such example is from the game "Burgertime" back on the old Intellevision system. think back to the 80s...... whoa......



Dad and I used to compete fiercely against each other. We'd post our new high score on the fridge seemingly each night. It was a lot of fun.


Everyone in the media seems hellbent on demonizing video games as addictive family and life destroyers when in fact they can be bonding experiences unlike any other. Some of the best times i can remember are from video game playing with friends/family.


- Roger and I played Halo and pretty much every other xbox game under the sun when we were roommates. We even got Chris in on a season of Madden. Great times.

- Josh and I play Need For Speed and other Xbox 360 games. I couldn't imagine a better time 2 brothers could be having.

- Massive Multiplayer Online Games. Talking World of Warcraft with Evan and Jason is a ton of fun. Not to mention some of the people i've met in-game who are fun people to interact with.

- Back in the day my whole family used to compete in Gameboy Tetris. Nobody could touch my leet skillz but hey, god bless them for trying right?


The point is that when you talk about the addictive nature of gaming you have to remember that it's a vice, no different than any other. Some people get hooked on drugs, some on drinking, some on religion, some on TV...... any of those to the point of where they tune out everyone around them. it's all about how you use those vices and if you are abusing them or letting them run our life in a healthy or UNhealthy manner.

Hilarity

Article headline: Did Apple lie to Mac gamers?

only if they told them they were NOT sad pathetic excuses for gamers living in denial with a giant Mac rod up their asses.

I mean seriously. Check this out.

During the announcement, Bing Gordon, an executive from EA, came onstage and touted a number of EA games that would be coming to the Mac platform this summer:

  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
  • Need for Speed Carbon
  • Battlefield 2142
  • Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

And later this year EA will ship:

  • Madden NFL 08
  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08


Holy crap C&C 3 finally? just a few months behind. Now when you play online, no more playing against casual gamers. you get to play they people who worship the game and already know how to pwn your sorry newb asses in 10 seconds. enjoy.

what the hell?

oh my god. get this.....

Jacob Woods just wanted to play the latest N-B-A video game, but the disc he brought home from the store had nothing to do with basketball.

When the eleven-year-old Stokes County boy installed the video into his Playstation Portable, what played was a pornographic movie.

Tony Woods says the game box was sealed and wrapped when he bought it at a local Wal-Mart.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman says the company will exchange the tape or refund the video for a new one. She says the chain will also work with the manufacturer to determine what happened.

Tony Woods says he's contacted an attorney, but also says he just wants his son to get the right video before he goes on a trip next week.


so let me see if i understand this one. this kid hits the young male JACKPOT and he runs off and tells his dad!?!?!? nice. hey dad, when you're suing Walmart, be sure to include free makeup and dresses for life in the settlement. your "son" is going to need them.

Vegas baby

KLASTV.com | News for Las Vegas, Nevada | Las Vegas Poised to Fight 'Rainbow Six Vegas'


this story is too good not to share.

basically, the city officials in Vegas are going to protest the release of the game Rainbow Six: Las Vegas. for those of you unfamiliar with the game series, you play a counter-terrorist group where you save people and such. excellent series by the way.

anyway, the Vegas mayor and such don't like that there are masked gunmen firing into crowds and explosions along the strip. they want to make it clear that the story (that's right the VIDEO GAME story) is based on a false premise. you got that? it NEVER HAPPENED for REAL.

and just to clear it up, Nicolas Cage never crashed a plane loaded with convicts into the strip either. i guess the mayor doesn't have an issue with THAT premise, but the idea that you could save innocent lives FROM the criminals against the backdrop of his city is too much for him to handle.

so once again, Las Vegas, the city that advertises around drinking, gambling, and sex..... does not want you to think a storyline about fighting terrorists in their town ever happened for real.

Laugh at Sony

get what one of the Sony executives is recommending......


GamePro sat down with Sony Computer Entertainment executive Phil Harrison at E3 earlier this week, where he re-iterated a sentiment made by Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Interactive Entertainment Peter Moore, where he said that buyers of of a next-generation console should also buy Nintendo's Wii system.


riiiiiight..... cuz if we get stupid and blow the $700 or so for a PS3 and a game we're going to have PLENTY of cash to grab a Wii.

at this point i can't tell if Sony has gone totally bonkers or if their ego has gone out of control. either way Microsoft is laughing their asses off.

lawbots

When lawbots attack!!!

long story short, Blizzard and other groups are using automated computer programs to sweep the net looking for possible copyright infringements. When spotted these lawbots unleash a devious attack of threats of litigation, legal notices, and other things. So basically, we now have computers enforcing our laws.

I know this sounds like an angry geek but seriously, think about the ramifications of this and wonder if something you post online some day might have a computer program threatening to take you to court.

blah blah blah

been a while since i'm posted anything. so i'll just throw random thoughts up.

- what the hell is going on with sports now? is there some kind of secret contest going on among the heads of the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NASCAR on who can be the biggest douchebag?? NASCAR fining Gordon, NFL now banning TD celebrations, NBA to get rid of players wearing tights, and this MLB steroid bullshit...... seriously, what the fuck is going on?

- first the NASCAR fine thing. i guess Helton and France won't be happy till they've stomped every last ounce of emotion out of the sport. next comes the banning of burnouts and spraying beer/gatorade in victory lane. win the race, thank the sponsors, and go home from now on. i honestly think the drivers should all get together and one weekend they should ALL just act like robots in EVERY interview. (kenseth can coach them) they can just give simple and short answers and show NO emotion at all. then at the end of it Jr or Gordon can tell everyone, "see folks, this is where the sport is heading. we decided to give you a sneak preview. if you didn't like it i suggest you take it up with Helton and France."


- next the NFL. limiting TD celebrations??? great, now the NFL is starting to take itself too seriously. let's get something straight guys, you are ENTERTAINMENT, that is what you are first. yeah yeah, role models, whatever. you're running an entertainment organization just accept it and stop trying to get rid of the entertainment we get from TD celebrations.

- NBA is going to get rid of tights. one question. WHY!?!? who fucking cares? is this a fashion thing? are you guys still trying to convince us you're some kind of "classy" league? i would think you'd jump at the chance to market yet MORE clothes to the public.

- so now the steroid scandal has reached a head. the investigations begin. at this point it is officially "too much, too late". you might have had a chance in hell of convincing me or any other person that you HONESTLY care about steroid abuse if you had started this back when McGuire and Sosa were tearing it up. why didn't you? oh yeah that's right, you saw that people were starting to watch again and you didn't want to derail the gravy train. duh stupid me. oh and thanks for giving Jessie Jackson some ammo to fire by going after Bonds. countdown to "oh so we just want to protect a WHITE man's record from being broken by a BLACK man".... 5...4...3...

- i don't know why, but i always feel guilty when i walk out of a barber shop and put my hat back on. yeah i know i walked in with a hat, i always wear a hat, so there's no reason i should feel bad. for some resaon i always do though. i kinda feel like i'm flipping off the barber.

- Blazing Angels on Xbox360..... sweet game.

- one of my teachers at school actually thinks it isn't a stretch to compare the current administration's actions to Nazi Germany. he threw Guantanamo out as if it was proof. yeah, cuz we're just rounding up everyone with arabic sounding names off the streets of the US and throwing them in; women, children, everyone. oh no wait WE AREN'T. we're rounding up MEN who are in AFGHANISTAN and IRAQ and are busy FIGHTING US. gee how could i not see the comparison? tell you what, if you can go convince someone who lived in Germany during WW2 that it's the same then i'll buy your story. until then, you're making light of the horrors of what happened back then and showing what an incredible JACKASS you are. we've made it abundantly clear to him to steer clear of politics in future discussions. guess he's used to teaching teenage robots who believe everything MTV tells them.

Super photo finish

Yeah, and mom and dad thought I played a lot of Nintendo growing up. This is a race between two guys to see who can beat Super Mario Bros the fastest. I’m not sure what’s more impressive.

Either

1 – the fact they beat it in like 6 minutes.

Or

2 – they finish within milliseconds of each other.

You be the judge.

Sunday, February 19, 2006

nah

ok i lied. i won't be blogging. i'll be playing world of warcraft while watching the race. sorry.
