I ramble about things.

That's More Like It, Mister Rolfe.

There’s another AVGN episode, this time covering the old Tiger Electronics hand held things that were the portable gaming offering before the Game Boy became a thing. And here’s a shocker for those who think I like to shit on everything that bares the Nerd name; I actually liked this one.

He stayed on topic for the majority of the video, the stupid derpy faces supposedly representing angry were barely there, I got a couple chuckles out of it, the bullshit was kept to a minimum (not counting the “bullshit man” a.k.a. Shithead Nerd), and he ran through the gamut of Tiger stuff, including the handhelds, the wristwatches, the Game.Com, and the R-Zone. It was an episode that hearkened back to the older (better) Nerd episodes such as the DoubleVision 2-part or the Atari Porn games.

Was it a bit nitpicky? Sure, it was, but this was an episode of AVGN that I, nonetheless, actually enjoyed and thought was rather well done for the most part. If he does more episodes of this level of quality in terms of content and less like those bordering on Irate Gamer-levels of horridness, then I might slowly get back into it…

Oh, who am I kidding, right?

On a sidenote, my pre-order for that AVGN game is still awaiting the game’s release. Despite (or perhaps in spite of) the subject matter, I’m actually looking forward to the game. If nothing else, it looks to be the only real piece of Nerd stuff that’s worth forking money over for.

A Real Call That Just Happened…

This happened just a short while ago. Someone I know tried to reach me inquiring if I can fix their computer… because apparently, I fix computers for a living (no, I don’t.) The following conversation took place (italics represents caller):

“Can you come over and fix my computer?”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“It’s too slow.”

“And?”

“I told you. It’s too slow.”

“Do you know what’s wrong with it?”

“It’s slow. I don’t know what to do.”

“I’ll pass by Saturday.”

“Can you pass by later?”

“No, I’m working later. I’ll pass by Saturday.”

“So I gotta deal with a slow computer for a couple days?”

“Dude, don’t piss and moan about being stuck with a slow computer for a couple days. I was stuck with a slow computer for years. I survived. So can you. I’ll pass by Saturday.”

“Okay… See you Saturday.”

“Okay. Bye.”

Moral of the story… I don’t fix computers for a living… Later…
