It's Snowing… and other things

Yeah, I woke up this morning and saw the block covered in snow. And to think, I went to bed 3 a.m. and the place was clean as a sheet… oh well. It was fun while it lasted… I guess I have to contend with snow and stupid idiots to finish off my Christmas shopping. Good thing it’s almost done…

I’m currently rendering a vlog regarding an interesting observation made over WWE 12. Will upload it soon.

Six Reasons The Guy Fixing Your Computer Hates You

From the venerable genius at cracked.com comes six reasons the guy who you hired to fix your computer hates you. The truly sad thing is that, as funny as this might seem, some of it is actually true.

I took a course in desktop publishing once upon a time and one of the things they teach you is how your computer works and how you can fix it whenever a problem comes up. This was emmencely useful for me because I use a computer a lot and being able to fix these things myself rather than rely on someone else to do it is extremely helpful.

The side effect is that sometimes, I get calls to go over to someone’s house and fix their computers and it’s usually for really minor stuff. Sometimes, it’s to re-install Windows and other stuff like that. But more than anything, the one thing they often say beforehand is that their computer is running slow. Why is their computer running slow?

And so I help with their computer woes… and then two months later, I have to do it again… and this is why I no longer want to fix computers. Not even my own.

In any case, the link is there and it’s Funny stuff. And somewhat of a good point and true to form…

Vegas-vacationing NDP Member of Parlament still missing.

For those who don’t know, Canada recently had a federal election, the end result being Stephen Harper’s Conservatives finally having gotten their long-sought majority government. Serving as the Official Opposition in Parliament is Jack Layton’s New Democrat Party… their first time in that position actually.
Why is this remotely interesting? See, while most nominees for their riding were busy campaign, the same cannot be said for NDP Berthier-Maskinonge Candidate, Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who spent the entire campaign trail vacationing in Las Vegas. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t even remotely aware that she actually won.

Oops…

Jack’s off to a great start…

To Anyone Who Cares About Canadian Politics…

In the 2011 Canadian Federal Election…

Stephen Harper finally got his long-sought majority government…

Jack Layton’s New Democratic Party is the Official Opposition…

The Liberals have been reduced to a third wheel…

And the Bloc Quebecois have been DESTROYED & BURIED and Gilles Duceppe has STEPPED DOWN.

Merci et salut la visite, you motherfucking piece of shit.

STOP SNOWING! And give me ad revenue by watching this short vid!

http://www.cinemassacre.com/2011/01/26/stop-snowing/

So, Jimmy Rolfe has been complaining about snow… and you know what? I can’t say I blame him. I used to complain about snow all the time. Now we get less of it these days. In fact, in the past couple months, there’s only been a couple snowstorms at most around my area with only a few scattered snowfalls roughly a centimeter worth.

Hooray For Global Warming!

By the way, how cute was it that he brought up one of his old “Bullshit” videos covering weather? Especially since the near-ninety-second video is sandwiched between two thirty-second ads for that oh-so-worth revenue? Gag me…

You know something? This gave me an idea… we’ll see if it materializes into anything.

John Cena won an award. LET’S GIVE HIM ANOTHER ONE!

Folks, appease your inner common sense and vote for John Cena on the Mashable Awards. I implore you to do so, because we don’t need another Spoony victory where he berates his fans again as was the case last year. Besides, I already have a really nice visual lined up if Cena wins.

So let’s give John Cena another award that is completely useless. Let’s give him a Mashable Award!

It’s the right thing to do.

Busy Street REVIEWS My Submission!

(2023 Update: The above video is the original version of Review #06 – Adventures In The Magic Kingdom, which was originally submitted as part of a contest of sorts and some differences from the recut version. It’s included here for the sake of added context to this blog post, but the recut version is the “proper” version in the video review cycle.)

Prestigious interwebsite Busy Street has taken some interest in the contest and updated their post with the following review of my little submission.

Not to sound ungrateful for the high score, but… 45/50? Really? Not bad, but I figured a couple points lower.

Anyway, here’s my humble reply.

And then, the response to my little comment:

But either way, this review was better than judekhanzo’s – you might actually win a copy of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.

No more comment.

(2024 Update: In case anyone was wondering, I never did win that copy of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel… not that it would’ve done me much good since my crapbox at the time probably couldn’t run the bloody thing.)

A Message From The Livid Gamer

WARNING: The following is a written mockery based on a previous blog post… which is based on comments by a friend of a popular angry nerd or something. Though there is some mockery, there is some truth in regards to… certain stuff. Without further to do, I give the floor to the LIVID GAMER.

*cue the Livid Gamer theme song, if he had one*

Hey, guys. Livid Gamer here with an important announcement.

People have said that I “nuked the fridge” with the Chu Chu Train episode. And yet, Zero episodes later, I’m still here, you goobers. Some non-episodes will be weaker than others… but that’s what you have to do to ‘ceed; keep on sucking.
As for the random character portrayed by my best buddy being annoying, that’s one character where it really was intended to be annoying but ends up being as stupid and pointless as all the other random non-characters in my program. So if he annoyed you, good. I’m glad he annoyed you. His goal was to annoy you and tune you away from my products. When you’re playing a game, and the game fucks up, that means the game sucks and you should feed it to your game shredder or toss it to your fireplace. Enjoy that fresh chemical odor that will inhabit your humble abode for years to come.
Anyway, if you want to see something REALLY annoying, you can watch me jump around like an asshole as the cowardly lion… or Bugs Bunny… or a Jewish skeleton who celebrates Christmas. I mean, I hear it all the time. You don’t like the live action characters; they all act the same; they’re out of character. We get it.
Guess what?
WE DON’T GIVE A SHITLOAD

OF FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!

There’s going to be more characters. They’re all going to act the same and be totally inaccurate to the original portrayal. When we do more Bugs Bunny games, we will have him act less like the classic character we remember and more like some fuckhead who has played a whole bunch of characters the same way, essentially becoming a non-character. Get over it. If you want pure game reviews, go make your own and see how exciting that gets after about twenty of them, even though pure game reviews have been around FOREVER and provide a formal. I sound like a broken record claiming that the angry reviewer style is a revolutionary new way of reviewing games when it’s just a means to cover up the fact that you suck at reviewing.
And just to cover my ass so that people don’t immediately think we don’t care what the fans think (and honestly, we don’t because the fans will like any shit we throw at them – just look at the Glitchy Bunny episode I tossed to gether on VaporTube.):
Sometimes I find it fun to add in guest characters like Spider-Man (but we call him Spiderman because we hate hyphens,) Ninja Gaiden (who has a real name, but I can’t be bothered to do the research,) and whatnot. We have a lot of fun shooting those episodes because we love taking these classic characters and turn them into pseudo-Nerd clones that act NOTHING like their mainstream interpretation, essentially turning them into non-characters.
Sure, some works better than other, like the time we had our guitar guy play as himself but swearing more often and acting like a Nerd instead of a unique character. But just because some fans don’t like the guest non-characters, doesn’t mean we’re going to stop using them. We’re not going to change our work method of a few complaints and so when you see a new character, he’s going act the same way as before – like the fucking angry reviewer – BECAUSE THAT’S CREATIVITY AT ITS FINEST!!!
So when I said “We don’t care what you think”, that does not mean we don’t care about the fans – you know, the mindless sheep that will like anything we throw at them, even if it’s pure shit. We love the fans. But we don’t care what they think if they don’t like our stuff.
The series is not ending. I may exert some non-effort, but this series isn’t ending any time soon.
That is all. Maybe this will appear in FOX NEWS or something.
I’m so LIVID.
