On having a nemesis…

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

It’s important in life to have a best friend. Someone who will be there to help you out no matter what, and always make you smile when you need it.

On the other hand, it is almost unavoidable to have an arch enemy. A nemesis. Some fiend that plagues your nightmares and causes you need to constantly watch over your shoulder, lest they stab you in the back.

Mine is the Gorton’s Fisherman. I know what you are thinking. But you are wrong. He is REAL. First off, Gorton’s Fisherman has been leading his evil campaign for years before I was born. He cleverly disguises himself as a friendly fisherman bringing frozen fish goods like fish-sticks and the like into families homes for decades. Every commercial includes a jingle. A famous jingle that you’d be hard pressed to find a person who doesn’t know it.

Fallout 3 – The Pitt DLC …Incomprehensible FAIL

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Oh… my… god…

Some time ago I wrote a review on here about Operation: Anchorage, the first DLC content from Bethesda for Fallout 3. Fallout 3 itself was amazing. Operation: Anchorage kinda sucked. In keeping the downhill trend going, the newest DLC, The Pitt is completely awful.

What were they thinking!? First off, I can’t believe I finished it. At the time of this writing it’s 8:22 PM. I finished playing Fallout just after 8PM. Here comes the kicker… I started playing at 6PM. That’s right ladies and gentleman… it took me less than two hours to play through the entire DLC. I say less than, because it took me a good 5-10 minutes dropping off gear in my house at Megaton and traveling to the mission start point.

Twitter Hypocrisy

Friday, April 17th, 2009

UPDATE: Trixie has blocked me on twitter. And really done nothing more than prove my point even further. Supposed community leaders that block their followers when they disagree with them one time and makes it personal by making fun that I don’t have a huge twitter following. Pathetic.

Twitter. Many people spend their whole day tweeting away every mundane thing they do. If you’ve seen the right nav bar on my site, you’ll quickly realize I’m one of them. Recently if you’re a member of the twitterverse, you can’t help but have heard about Ashton Kutcher’s (@aplusk on twitter) race to 1,000,000 followers against CNN.

Normally I wouldn’t care, but when I stumbled across it, I found out that bragging rights weren’t the only thing at stake, but that if Ashton won, he would donate 10,000 mosquito nets to aid in the fight against Malaria in Africa. This is a cause I know he’s been an advocate of for some time.
