Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, you bet your ass some money hungry Christoids want a piece of the profitable band simulation market. After the rampant success of Guitar Hero and Rockband, they needed to find an excuse to cater to all those "young sheep" whose brains are so wiped of all independent thought to the point where they are not allowed to hear or even like mainstream popular music. And what better way to do this than with the next thing since sliced... communion wafers? I'm talking about:

WO0O0O0O0O0O! *devil horn sign*

...Oh shit wait I can't do that! this is Jesus music. *Raises hands in praise, closes eyes and mutters uninteligibly* For just $100 you too can rock out with your cock er... crucifix out to the solid sounds of wholesome christian rock, without the influence of ...Keep reading.

OK, so even though we seem to have moved into apartment paradise, there comes a time when you get cabin fever and for fear of smacking the shit out of your significant other when he makes you jump out of your seat by screaming like a rape victim for the 17th time because he's playing Gears of War and a sniper just blew his fucking head off, you know that it's time to convince him to turn off the console, GTFO and have a breath of fresh air. Since we had no plans for Independence Day, we decided to test how long does it take to walk from our apartment complex to my grad school, which is only a couple of miles away. We had heard how you have to cross a busy road and walk through a few patches that still have no sidewalk in the sweltering heat, ...Keep reading.

As you all probably know, as of this post I'm in Orlando, starting my engines for the legendary trek to that mythical land called Texas. The whole flight was so easygoing and hassle free that it kinda scared me. After such a rare pleasant experience I expected everything to turn into a clusterfuck as soon as I set foot in Florida, but that was not the case. Even the cab ride to our motel was a breeze. The cabbie was a silent Jamaican dude who reminded me greatly of Little Jacob from Grand Theft Auto 4. I half expected him to pop open his trunk and try to sell us an AK47. Unfortunately we arrived at night, so we couldn't appreciate the scenery on our way to our fabulous, luxurious Motel 6. Now let me tell you something about Orlando. This city is a gigantic living, breathing ...Keep reading.

I gave in and downloaded the World of Warcraft trial edition.

I have been avoiding this game like the plague ever since I've had a PC that could run it, mostly because I was wary of the high addiction factor it's been said to have, and most importantly, because of the goddamn monthly fee. I have been playing it for less than a week now and my overall impression on this game is:

MEH.

Yay it's another fucking grinding fest! Mission after mission after mission and I have yet to see something that makes me say WOW! (pun intended) and hook me up on the game to the point of actually making me buy the retail version and become a slave to monthly payments.

I can see this game becoming more fun in ...Keep reading.

I sold it. Yesterday I "bequeathed" my black Road Warrior to the third or fourth dude who called me. He was really interested in it and I was actually surprised at the quickness of the whole sale process. Apparently it was way too fast, because he called me a few hours later to inform me that the radiator was punctured in TWO places, and one of them seems to have an attempt at repair, with epoxy. WHO THE FUCK REPAIRS A RADIATOR WITH EPOXY?! You guessed it. Dad. He has a history of trying to repair things and actually destroying them even further. His scorecard of devastation includes stuff like: A bathtub (trying to repair the pipes), the kitchen sink (about three times already), his pathetic attempts at being a mechanic (my radiator and busted power locks/power windows stand as proof), light ...Keep reading.
