They should just let this decide who gets the trophy... screw playing the real game... just throw up the video game footage with the commercials and I'll watch it! Twice maybe. THIS is how to get people interested in football.
As ashamed as I am to admit that I was watching Gilmore Girls tonight (Navy NCIS was a repeat and well... I LIKE bad t.v., always have.), it taught me something I had never thought about before: Cookie monster is one of the 7 deadly sins; gluttony.
What the hell's wrong with people? What's next - the USB bong-drive? Idiots.
I thought this was funny.
"Hi, You are bidding on a genuine "New Folder" (See Photo Below) which I created on 24 January 2004, 00:04:24 GMT, however I no longer require the folder. The folder is empty and has been never used, and is therefore in immaculate condition. This item is compatible with ALL versions of Windows, so good luck!"
Consoles are all about party games or coop games in my opinion. Screw this online shit, the most fun you can have playing a console is with 3 other people playing (in the SAME room), lots of sailor talk and lots of beer. Finally a company has seen this, though suprisingly it's coming from the creators of Metroid Prime and apparently for the GameCube of all consoles. They're calling it "The Guy Game", brilliant title huh?
Looks fun to me, even though I generally hate trivia AND asshole.
Left at 6:30 today with PLENTY of time to get to the customer's site and do some work before a 10:30 meeting. Usually takes about 45 minutes. Today... almost 3 hours. THEN, I spent a fucking hour driving around and around and around looking for a fucking parking space. Don't want to give me somewhere to park? Well see if I actually get any work done. Turned around and went home. Fucking bullshit. Hope someone else went to that meeting... no scratch that... hope no one did so MAYBE someone with influence will start bitching about the parking.
Total bullshit.
If you're looking for something to fulfill your mid-life crisis, consider this - it's AWESOME. Chicks will dig it, your cock will be huge, you career will flourish after you boss sees you cruising in it!
Uh, wow.
Work out and play games at the same time!
This is just odd. It would only be interesting to use this if everyone else playing was using it as well. That way when playing a FPS you could have physical fatigue be a factor in the game as well. No THAT'S a reason to bulk up - to decimate your opponents.
I can see it now, a bunch of gamers walking around with giant guts and super toned forearms... everyone will think they're obsessive masterbaters if they didn't already.
I'm all about gadgets and technology but this guy has gone a SMIDGE too far. This just goes to show you that we're not winning the war on drungs in America.
My office is in an annex building (I never get to sit in HQ in any of my jobs... I guess people are trying to hide me from customers or something... bastards). The annex doesn't have a receptionist or anything so if someone comes to the front door they have to ring the doorbell. This doorbell tone then rings throughout the office space. EVERY time this happens now I think "domino's philly cheesesteak pizza?!?" Yes, I'm pavlov's dog and advertising works.
Ok, so in the office building I work in, I work on the first floor. There is also a day-care center on the first floor. Outside the back of the building is a little covered smoking area. This has been there since I started working here. Some genius decided to tear down the old kiddy park and put a new and improved one (with little orange container fences and everything - looks like a pig pen) on the opposite side of the building. This forces the day-care providers to walk the kids through the smoking section to get to the new park - genius.
While I agree that the situation isn't the best for the kids, I also know that all the smokers in the building would willingly move to another area if allowed to make sure none of the kids got exposed to any second-hand smoke. My problem is that the day-care providers blame the smokers for being there even though all the offices in the building have received memos saying that there is to be absolutely NO smoking any where else.
The thing that really pisses me off is that every smoker I've seen goes out of her / his way to make sure the kids don't get exposed to anything. No one lights up if they see or hear kids coming or going, people even go as far as hiding the cigarette behind their back when the kids come out unexpectantly and not smoking until they're gone. The people that run the day-care center STILL treat everyone as if they're the incarnation of Satan himself. I've gotten dirty looks, rude comments, etc. just for standing outside WAITING for the kids to go inside without even pulling out my pack of cigs much less smoking anything! Today, while waiting for the kids to go inside, one of the ladies had the gall to say to one of the kids: "Hurry up before the mean man lights a cigarette", she then preceded to give me a look of shame. Now maybe there is some dickhead in the building that has been blowing smoke in kids faces or something but I'm not that guy, so fuck you lady.
Well... played D&D today for the first time since middle school / early high school. It was fun. A LOT has changed with the new rules and shit. Combat is much more tactical than I remember it being and our DM was really good at making it descriptive and interesting. Spent WAY too much time in the first town (my fault) trying to uncover insideous plots which apparently didn't exist. We're supposed to play again in a month or so... should be interesting. Takes me back.
So a kid goes and interviews for the Lego Masterbuilder position and writes it up on his Live Journal. Someone submits it to slashdot and the guy's comments start getting taken over. Maybe other of you out there have seen this picture so far, but I hadn't and I found it funny as hell: halfway down the page
Something about the idea of Slashdot Gladiators just makes me laugh every time I think about it... maybe it's the idea of pompous, self-righteous geeks getting mauled by tigers... hrm... have to think about that more.
Well, my domain has finally found a new home. My buddy Brian has been nice enough to let me park my domain on his server so that I won't have to deal with the company that was doing it all for me before.
Should ease some headaches hopefully. Maybe I'll actually do something with the site, etc now... meh.
