What I’m Playing

People with intelligence will use it to fashion things both true & false to push through whatever they want with their clever reasoning. Nothing you do will have effect if you do not use truth. — Yamamoto Tsunetomo

They’ve always been useless. they always will be useless. You know the type…so fiercely loyal to their particular band or brand or whatever else they’re leeching a reason to exist from that they can’t see straight. Most often they’re associated with video games.

I want to kill them. All of them. Messily. Perhaps with a lawnmower, Dead Alive style.

Oh, did I forget to mention that the preceding video is violent? Too bad. If you see a video after a line talking about killing with a lawnmower, Dead Alive style and are then surprised the video to follow is violent, fuck you too.

Oh, and incidentally, the actual scene in the movie goes on for so long that it manages to become quite boring. Really.

Anyway, yeah, fanboi types, lawnmower, fleshy squishy crunching noises and their death. Sounds like a good fucking evening of fun to me.

Now, they’ve always been around…what’s brought them out of the woodwork lately? Why the good folks at Ubisoft and their latest DRM plan that requires a permanent Internet connection 100% of the time when playing any of their upcoming games. Lose your connection? Too bad for you. Servers down? Too bad for you. It’s truly ASTOUNDING that an idea this bad originated in Quebec.

Yes, it sucks. That isn’t enough for PC fanboi types, though. No, these irrational jagoffs, constructed from the contents of hospital colostomy bags no doubt, are comparing this to rape. Yes indeed, rape. Brutal and unwanted sexual assault (…was the use of ‘unwanted’ really necessary in that sentence?) compares dead even to requiring constant server access to play a game. If you have ever honestly made this comparison, may you be ravaged by the entire populace of Lompoc penitentiary.

Then we have this exchange with a fellow forum user on Good Old Games. First is me, agreeing with the guy above (I would quote him but he just says the same thing and takes longer…and he isn’t me. Let him glorify himself on his own blog, goddammit!) :

Exactly. You want to send a message? Don’t buy it. Let’s just stop acting like computer games are some intrinsic right, or necessary to enjoyment of life.

And the response :

Oh, but they are. Entertaintment is an intrinsic right. Just like broadband internet access. They recognized that over in Finland.

Drink that genius in. Shit, we’re gonna need FEMA to run over to this poor motherfucker’s house and hook his ass up with some DRM-free Assassin’s Creed II, STAT!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. Entertainment is an intrinsic right…right up their with Freedom of Speech and, you know, access to water?! If this is the sort of drivel that will regularly be flowing from it, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. NEVER open it again. EVER. Under any circumstances. Have a cold and your nose is stuffed up? Suffocate. Good fucking riddance.

Can we PLEASE stop with the ridiculous fucking comparisons and bleating bullshit about ‘our plight’? And if we can’t get these rejected shit samples to just shut the fuck up, can we perhaps start sacrificing them to Tilikum, the serial killing whale?

You don’t like the new system? Don’t buy it. Play something else. Just stop whining like a spineless fairy about how your ‘rights’ have been exploited you fucking stain. The world should issue rewards for worthless shit like this being stomped from the gene pool.

Smug much?

Oh those Americans…always obsessing with themselves and blathering on nonstop about how awesome they are at everything. At least, that seems to be the Canadian definition of what makes an American. And yet, what do I see? An inundation of CANADA AWSUM! crap. All that I see is Canadian hypocrites whining about US nationalism and self obsession…then engaging in the exact same behaviour towards this country. We criticize them for their supposed faults, then engage [...]

The Opening Ceremonies

As many of you know, I’m cynical about the Olympics as a whole. I see a massive cash grab somewhat disguised in fake nationalism and pride. The whole exercise tends towards being a farce. Despite all of that, I found myself watching the Opening Ceremonies tonight…my sister Pam and newest niece Lillian are visiting, and they were there, so I was FORCED BY CIRCUMSTANCE! Yeah, that’s it! The Good -Is it just me or are [...]

Dungeons & Dragons’ Evil Has Been Confirmed!

That is, of course, unless you don’t trust the judgment of the Waupun Correctional Facility in Wisconsin! And I know I sure do, as any other law abiding citizen certainly would! It seems that a guy named Kevin Singer, serving a sentence for First Degree Intentional Homicide, got ahold of some D&D gear. Crazy motherfucker even wrote up his own SCENARIO for it…can you IMAGINE?! Actually…back up a second. First Degree…Intentional…Homicide? First Degree murder is [...]

Scott Feschuk’s Liveblog of Super Bowl 44

Who’s Scott Feschuk? A funny bastard who writes for Maclean’s (Who knew, right?). Every week he answers reader questions in the weekly mailbag : here’s the one written Feb. 3rd. He also writes other entertainment type stuff which tends to be funny. He also keeps up a regular Twitter feed VoiceinPMsHead. Imagine Steven Harper sharing every single imperious thought to enter his head…now make that funny. A couple of examples from yesterday about Jack Layton’s [...]

Super Bowl 44

Posting before there are pictures of the team celebrating with the Lombardi Trophy? Improvise! Is that chick in front armed??? So, the Saints win, 31-17. This means I must face the depressing reality that I am worse at picking Super Bowl winners than EA’s Madden football. I think perhaps I’ll have some scotch… Solid game overall. Not the best one that I’ve seen (that would be Denver beating Green Bay 31-24 at the end of [...]

Super Bowl Predictions

Ahhhh shit, it’s that time again. New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts Now that the Saints, who took 21 years to even have a winning season, have made a Super Bowl, the number of teams who haven’t is down to four. And considering three of those teams have less than 20 years of existence to look back at (Jacksonville, Cleveland redux and Houston), it really elevates the crapulence of the Detroit Lions organization. The game [...]

David Motherfuckin’ Mamet

Look upon the shit that is the biggest grossing movie of all time. A predictable, hackneyed, ‘seen it before’ script slapped on some gigantic smurfs, all of it overseen by Capt. Cameron and his Almighty Ego. Sure it’s a spectacle, and the spectacle is impressive…but the spectacle is also completely and utterly false. You may as well throw on your goddamn 3D glasses and gaze in awe at some massive banks of hard drives, because [...]
