Since God invented all the other good stuff.

Was reading through my google feeds when I saw this post by Sarcastic Gamer about how this mom was raving about the evilness of video games on her blog. Hey who knew, a parent on the internetz! With a blog nevertheless!

So, because I have nothing else better to do, I went and took a look at the woman’s blog and actually read the whole thing. It started off with:

We have the only house in our neighborhood with no video games.

Well that ought to tell you something.

My son has explained to me many times how this makes us freakish aliens from space.

No shit. Although Aliens from space are much cooler.

I truly believe that video games were created by Satan to turn otherwise normal children into his drooling, glassy-eyed stooges.

…

After my son plays them at his friends’ houses, he comes home irritable and testy for the rest of the day.

hmm…that sounds familiar..

Then the rest of the post, she talks about how she wants to be the “fun mom” who makes Popsicles and is liked by every kid etc. But apparently no one wants to go to their house because it’s boring. Well I wonder why…

Then she started to talk about how she read an article about a mom who called the cops on her kid cuz he’s been playing too much GTA. The rest of the blog is basically her attacking GTA and video games, after which she went on and talked about how she was an odd and geeky kid when she was in school but learnt a lot from her reading excessively (well ma’am, you make us geeks look bad) and that

If Sir Isaac Newton had been playing a DS, I’m sure he never would have noticed the apple falling from the tree, so he never would have formulated the theory of gravity.

First of all, being the smart guy that Isaac Newton is, he would probably be a PC gamer, and wouldn’t spend much time with a DS. Second of all, if the DS had been already invented back then, then we’ll be having hover cars right now and so screw gravity.

Since I’m probably being a biased ass, here’s the article so you can judge for yourself.

But honestly, people should stop blaming everything on video games. OHHH This guy killed someone! It’s cuz he’d been playing COD! OHHHH this other guy shot a cop!! It’s cuz he’s been playing GTA!! OHHH this kid shot himself cuz he’s being playing too much WoW!!

Dammit people, how about you guys start taking responsibility in the society instead of blaming everything on a bunch of codes and machines?

Oh a guy killed someone? Well I’m we all want to do what the video game characters do. I’ve always wanted to jump and knock my head into a brick so that maybe coins will come out of it.

A guy shot a cop? Maybe he just wants to loot his guns and stuff.

A kid shot himself? How about bad parenting as a cause? Did that idea ever come across you parents? HMM? Probably not, because you guys are probably too busy to even take a look at your kid and ask him how’s school and such every once in a while. You know, care a little, like how parents are supposed to? Maybe then he won’t let WoW fill up his empty life, and maybe then he won’t shoot himself because he has an awesome family?

Ok, I’m done. It’s just that video games are a big part of my life and my family. We would play the multiplayer games together, and we would watch each other play the single player games etc. It’s not a solitary activity, seriously. Especially now with online play and such.

Although maybe being a gamer makes me a “drooling, glassy-eyed stooge” so I’m oblivious to its evilness.

Yes people, I is MW2-less. You can stop snickering now.

Since we’ve all been busy with the house stuff (have I mention that I hate moving?), gaming for me has been reduced to at most 20 minutes of Fallout a day. AT MOST! What the heck can I do in 20 minutes? I can’t even finish one round of looting and selling…Yes, cry for me please, because my tears are spent.

Plus, we’re trying to save up for renovation funds, so naturally, game buying is a nono. The last game I bought (well my sister bought) was Bishock and Ghost Recon. (which happened to be my first on-topic post hahahahaha(then again, what is the topic?)

So it really makes me mad when EVERYWHERE on the internet, people are talking about Modern Warfare 2. Gamespot(duh), Gamercast Network, Destructoid, Kotaku, Gizmodo, even on the many podcasts I listen to! It’s EVERYWHERE. There is nowhere to hide form this topic. Like when MJ passed away (may he rest in peace), it’s just sad.

Meh so this is just me ranting…I will get it when it becomes cheaper, seeing that I still have 50 more hours of Fallout 3 left. Plus Bioshock to be played. Or I can suffice with COD4 with my Mac. Many ways to REMIND MYSELF THAT I’M NOT PLAYING MODERN WARFARE 2 LIKE ALL THE OTHER COOL KIDS.

End of sad Post.

EDIT: Another two news feeds about MW2 from Kotaku right after I posted this. SPARE ME, INTERNETZ!!

Because 我 is me.

But careful is not me. And neither is lucky. Ding Ding! Story is – I made a pretty sculpture of the Licker from Resident Evil using Super Sculpey, and it was a pretty good job if I may say so myself. BUT! When I was curing it in the oven, whether the heat is too high, or I left it in too long, I have no idea, BUT my beloved sculpture burnt black in less 5 minutes!!

My one month (on and off) hard work all reduced to carbon within 5 minutes…Now I can actually understand how victims of house fire feel. Or the parent of a microwaved baby. Because we all know that urban legends are actually true.

Oh woe…

EDIT: I used acrylic paint and tried to paint over it. Turned out alright I guess..

Maybe. Possibly.

I’m not gonna comment on this, you can read it yourself. You can’t? Told you shouldn’t drop out of 3rd Grade!

THE END DRAWS NEAR: COURT ORDERS PIRATE BAY TO ERASE TORRENTS

The Dutch court initially ruled that Pirate Bay must block access to Dutch citizens; a decision which the site’s founders decided to appeal. It worked to some extent, as that judgment has now been nullified, but the Court now decided that The Pirate Bay – while not guilty of copyright infringement – is guilty of assisting copyright infringement.

Now, Dutch anti-piracy body BREIN will supply a list of copyrighted works to The Pirate Bay, and the operators of the site must remove them within three months, facing a fine of $7,500 per person, per day.

Windows 7 to be exact.

Can’t browse through the internet without Windows 7 in my face. I’m not gonna talk about it because I have no use for it because I USE A MACBOOK PRO HECK YEA~~

(I still love you, PC, you can’t play no games on a mac)

EDIT: I know I said I won’t talk about it, but this is too awesome to be unspoken about:

In celebration of Windows 7, Japan’s Burger King came up with a Windows 7 Whopper, which consists of, as seen above, seven stacks of beef patty, and the other usual stuff which I always pick out secretly. It costs ¥ 777, approximately SGD$11.82, USD$8.48, FOR THE FIRST 30 COSTUMERS EACH DAY, the rest of you lazy asses will be paying ¥ 1, 450, SGD$22.04, USD$15.83, for this tower of a burger. I mean Whopper. Because Whoppers pwn burgers.

Would I buy it? Heck yea, if it means going to Japan. I’ll be the 30th costumer and so I can taunt the person next in line who wants to buy it.
