Through the Eyes of a Nerd

Minecraft!!

2011-04-01T20:26:00.001+01:00

Burningwood still exists! Ive just been preoccupied with a server I was playing on, However I have found a cool mod that gives me limitless resources so I'm building Burningwood with Gusto once more and built a Barracks.
I'm also using a Rome themed texture pack that looks sweet.

This my beautiful fort, essentially its there to keep the criminals pissing their pants and to stop any EVIL CULTISTS OF EVUL from attacking.

This is the main hall, supplies and paintings are seen, as well as a maintenance room, which exists only for the fucking door bell...

here we see the second part of the second floot, leading to the second floor, under city tunnel system as well as to the dark room that totally isnt a torture chamber.

Just you're average obsidian room... Nothing going on here

See, not a torture room, A SIGN says so, signs never lie.

The second floor, where the grunts sleep and have confusing dreams

And the tower, big tower, Creepers be warned, we have a tower

There is more to show you but I plan on doing BEDA (Blog Every Day April) so need all the material I can get!

Dragon Age 2: Review

2011-03-30T20:17:00.001+01:00

I completed Dragon Age 2 about a week ago and I have my verdict. Dragon Age 2 is a good game but is different. Dragon Age suffers a common problem within Video games and Music, it isnt as good as the original, Sequels will always be compared to the original as they should be but with Bioware this gets a little trickier. Dragon Age: Origins was such a good game that any sequel was going to suffer. It had dam near perfect characters and storylines.
Dragon Age 2 isnt quite as good.. It coulnt never be but it is still a really good game. Its an amazing game living in the shadow of its bigger brother.

The Pros

- More interactive gameplay without removing the strategy elements
- Interesting Characters (especially Varric and Fenris (Who has an amazing voice actor))
- Beautiful locations
- Dog is now summonable creature (So actually useful)
- Amazing ending (I was up till 4am on a college night just to finish it)
- Elves have been improved, they feel like a different race now

The Cons

- Story takes a while to get interesting
- Locations are limited and repeated
- Only one city
- Only one high dragon (Seriously guys, its called dragon age...)
- Serious lack of allister (Only a cameo)

The Random (as well as vague tips)

- Every companion who is romancable is bi-sexual
- You have the option of genociding an entire society
- All magic users are ass holes (Did Ned Flanders write the story?)
- The Qunari are not as fun as Sten makes them seem
- Never trust women (Barney Stinson may also have been involved in the writing process)
- You can no longer control companions armor so Dragon Armor is pointless for Mages and Rogues (Sell it)
- Hawke is a bit off a cock (new voice actor badly needed)

Is it worth buying?
Yes, especially if you love action and RPG
It is a very good game just not as good
Go into that game knowing its not Origins and you'll love it
Dragon Age 3 will hopefully be a lot better =D

--Edit--
I played this on the Xbox 360

Dragon Age 2 First Thoughts

2011-03-12T18:44:00.000+00:00

So Dragon Age 2 was released yesterday in Ireland and well
Its pretty dam good
The fighting is fun, the characters are daycent and the story is, so far at least, pretty good
Things that could be better?
Why cant i customise the armor of my supporting characters?
It isnt as RPGish as the previous game
More mass effecty... If i wanted Mass Effect, ill Play Mass Effect

Still, a very good game! Very enjoyable and my nit picking is just that... Nit picking, this is a very fun game

Top 5 Most Awesome Final Fantasy Characters

2011-02-23T22:14:00.004+00:00

So it's wednesday! Which means its Nerd-day! Yeah i'm working on a schedule now, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. One of said days will be music, the other 2 will be nerdy things!

So it seemed a little unfair to just do a list of the most annoying characters so here is a list of my 5 favourite characters. Final Fantasy has its golden moments where it makes these awesome characters who everyone remembers. Well should remember, for some reason people only remember Cloud and whats his face, Sephiroth.

Anyway here is my list! Hope you enjoy, comment below on who would make your list.

No. 5 - Zidane

I love 9, it's my favourite of all the games okay! Zidane is part of that reason. Unlike Cloud, Tidus and Vaan (Annoying Emo Kids) He actually stands for something. He isn't fighting for some selfish ambition of revenge or to get home. No, he fights only to help Vivi and Garnet (Okay he did want to tap that as well) regardless! He was a true gentleman, and he kept me laughing with his teasing of Steiner.

The only main character worth a dam. (This list is VII and beyond) His tail didnt even ruin him for me, at all. I know that seems unfair seeing as I gave out about Frans rabbit ears but this is my list, I dont need to be fair and balanced!

No. 4 - Cid

Cid is a bad ass, spear wielding, cigarette smoking, loud mouthed airship captain who was the real leader of the Team Save the World in FF7. This character just reeked badassness. He kicked ass, he cursed and he had a spear. In a world where everyone uses guns it takes a bad ass to use a spear (Tifa gets credit for using her fists) Cid was by far my favourite Final Fantasy 7 character, i was insulted when he only got like 2 lines in Advent Children.

No. 3 - Balthier

Balthier was Final Fantasy 12s most redeeming feature. He's a freaking sky pirate! With some of the best dialogue in any Final Fantasy game. This character is the definition of cool. The real protagonist of FF 12 with a real back story, unlike Vaan (Wawawa you're an orphan, we get it!)
His gun was pretty sweet too, he was the only character where I actually bothered keeping them with their original weapon just because it looked sweet. This game should have focused more on him and less on Vaan.

No. 2 - Auron

Auron was Final Fantasy X's saving grace. A big ass dude with a big ass sword and limited but always awesome dialogue. Not to mention the fact that even dying didn't stop this crazy son of a bitch.

He's a fucking Tank, nothing stops Auron, nothing. He even looks cool, just look at his outfit and before his overdrives he takes a sip of alcohol. Bad Ass.

No. 1 - Vivi

I doubt anyone saw this coming but Vivi is without a doubt the finest character to ever grace this game. A heartfelt story, he looks cool and he's a total bad ass. Vivi was the perfect character, if you don't believe me, play 9 again and really focus on him, he's perfect. Well except his Grandad...

But regardless, i love Vivi, hes not only my favourite FF characters of all time but one of my favourite Video game characters of all time.

Top 10 Most Annoying Final Fantasy Characters - Part 2

2011-02-22T20:41:00.000+00:00

5. Eiko - The little summoner who couldn't, this little moron wouldn't have been so bad had she not chosen to comment on everything! She does not shut up, ever. She's like 6 years old and is obsessed with Zidane. It isn't funny or cute it's just annoying and she never stops. EVER. Beware of this girl, she joins the game late but when she joins she makes up for what she missed.
Also she just isn't that useful a character, she is a watered down version of Garnet. I'll just stick with Garnet thanks, 16 is slightly less weird than 6. Square shouldn't use so many kids, it's getting weird.

4. Cait Sith - A talking cat riding a robot demon moogle. That is all

3. Yuna - A vapid pushover with a retarded sense of duty. So Retarded even Tidus realised she was a moron. Which is saying a lot. The girl was horribly voice acted and no sympathy could be given to her when you consider the kind of choices the little moron made.

Towards the end of the game i became Jaded with her and Tidus' bad romance. It was just bad, very bad. Badly written I mean, why does she love him? Because he laughed that one time? Or because he screamed real loud that same time?

About as believable as Attack of the Clones love story.

Which brings us into number 2.

2. Tidus - Who ever decided to give Ellen Degeneres a sword clearly had their priorities wrong. Very wrong. This character has all the same problems as Yuna and then some. The "Main Character" Its his "Story". Even though it's clearly Yunas story, but what ever. This character annoys me. His emo attitude, his stupid clothes, his nails on chalkboard annoying voice and his terrible script.

I'll leave it at that, I've already discussed the balls to wall retarded romance. So yeah, Tidus sucked, why was he the main character? WHY WAS HE IN IT AT ALL.

1. This character should not exist. SHOULD NOT EXIST. Who decided to make her Australian? Why Square, why does she exist. She is one of the worst characters ever. Any game. Ever.

I could rant about her, but just google her name and youtube videos bitching about her existence come up. Fuck Vanille, she single handily made FF13 unplayable.

Top 10 Most Annoying Final Fantasy Characters - Part 1

2011-02-20T15:47:00.000+00:00

Love it or hate it, we've all played at least one Final Fantasy game. I've played several and each time i play there are characters that just stick out and drive you crazy. Good guys and bad guys alike... Final Fantasy never ceases to annoy me. Yet I keep playing them, anyway, here's the top 10 most annoying characters who had the audacity to plague Final Fantasy!

10 - Quina Quen

Quina cursed Final Fantasy 9. This character was a horrible addition to my favourite of the franchise. He was completely unnecessary and brought nothing to the game. Annoying, silly and out of place. The reason he/she is so low down on the list is because he isn't actually in the game all that often so though its annoying, its not all that common.

9. Cloud Strife

I know I'll get some hate for this pick but you know what? This character drove me fucking crazy. All he ever did was complain. He single handily made emo socially acceptable and popularised bad hair cuts. Yes he has a big ass sword but I kept thinking he'd use it on himself. Yeah I know who he had a crappy life but so did Vivi from 9 and he didn't complain nearly as much and he had more reason to! Also he was a child. Cloud is supposed to be an adult. So yeah, fuck Cloud, he's just an Emo douche, Cid was the real bad ass in that game.

8. Seymour

Seymour is the least intimidating main villain in the history of Final Fantasy and that includes the lady boy in FF9. He's a glorified stalker who just can't quite understand that no means no. He attacks you, a lot. I mean a lot. However he's only challenging once and even then a few Aeon overdrives will do him in. When you finally fight him he goes down in seconds. Also, the voice actor, they were going for chilling but ended up with creepy. Also, why does he have a blue hair? Ugh this character just reeks of annoying.

7. Vaan

Vaan is an annoying wannabe hero with no real character worth mention. He's just kind of there. He isn't an important part of the plot he is more of an observer. Ashe and Balthier are the real protagonists. So Vaan is just sort of there. Annoying, vapid, socially retarded and not wearing nearly enough clothes. Not much can be said about the little retard other than he's a bit of a retard. The game could have done without him and I wish it had.

6. Fran

Rabbit Ears! Really?! Rabbit Ears? Yeah that alone ruined this character for me. I hate Fran, her voice, her ears and her useless nature. I only ever used her when my other characters had fainted. Dammit Square, WHY RABBIT EARS!?

Why did Balthier go out with this moronic character, ugh i hate Fran. Yeah i know it seems like I'm picking on 12 but that's the last mention 12 will get.

Anyway, that's part 1 of my top 10! Part 2 will be out sometime during the week in which the top 5 most annoying characters get what's coming to them! Can you guess who will win the #1?

Fable 3

2011-02-16T23:53:00.001+00:00

How to sum up Fable 3 in a single sentence?
Like this. Fable 3 was a game with so a lot of potential that ultimately falls short due to failed expectations.

Fable 3 is part of the Triad of Western fantasy RPG series to be making big sales. The other two being Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls. Oh and this Triad mainly exists in my head, there are probably other series im forgetting about. Anyways. . .
Fable falls short against the other two series, and why?

Interesting world and characters? Check
Fun Game play? Check

What else could you ask for? Well in a hack'n'slasher not much
But this is supposed to the "Ultimate Role Playing Game" so it needs more depth. Well that's not true, it needs the depth where it counts. The ability to catch STIs or to have a child is a little out of place. Albion could be such a rich and wonderful world. However all the energy they put into making these games is misplaced. I want more towns, more back story, more actual story!

Fable just doesn't feel big enough. When i finished that game i just kind of though "Wait, that's it?"
The story ends half way through and you're thrown into another story with a crap villain and a disappointing conclusion. And there's almost no towns or dungeons to explore! Its all so small, so uninteresting and ultimately a let down.

So, rather than just nay saying. lets talk about how Fable could be the awesome king of RPGs (Well Dragon Age wears the crown)

1. Gameplay - Fable is a video game so it needs to improve its game play. Its fun but way too simple. Give me more attacks and magic attacks. There are more than 3 buttons on the Xbox controller.

2. Setting - Albion is great, but way too small, fix that shit. Also more heroes! There were 4 in Fable 2 and only 1 in Fable 3? Isnt this series about Heroes!

3. Story - Simply, hire better story writers, the villains sucked and the story was choppy =p FIX IT

Okay these improvement ideas are all very broad, so ill let Lionhead fill in the blanks, but just remember, stick to the fantasy element,

In conclusion, Fable 3 is a good game with great potential that simply misses the point, i look forward to Fable 4, this series still has room to improve

2011-02-04T16:31:00.001+00:00

2011-01-17T23:44:00.000+00:00

Okay, its been a while and I need to be interesting. My last 2 blogs sucked (apologies for that)

So yeah, Steve Jobs got sick.. Not interesting
Shit went down in Tunisia, Interesting, but not in regards to this blog
Couples to Share Paternity Leave? Snoooze Fest

The world just doesnt want me to entertain you guys!
I suppose itll take some original content, Hmm
Maybe i should share a tale
A tale of adventure! Of War and Conquest!
Well im a 19 year old Suburban College Student so no luck there.

Okay! Final Fantasy it is
Yeah my mind works like this

Guys, what do you think of the FF series thus far?
Which games have you played and which are your favourites
Ill be brutally honest, i hate Cloud, hate him more than a man should be able to hate a fictional character!
He's a big emo, half of Final Fantasy 7 is just pressing X while he complains about life
Do you know who's life also Sucked? Auron, dude was Dead! (Oh yeah spoilers) Didnt complain about it though. Tidus was also a complete twat, as was Vaan. The Only game to have a good main character (of the ones ive played, though by what ive heard Squalls just as bad) Is 9. Zidains a cool dude, he has a tail sure, and dresses like a tranny, but hes fun and doesnt cry all the time. Win Win really

So yeah

FF9 (Vivi is the man)
FF10 (Tidus sucked but Auron carried it through)
FF12 (Balthier you smug son of a bitch i love you)
FF13 (It was pretty at least)
FF7 (Yeah that bad)

So troll me guys, i know you all have opinions!

My absense, zombies and my favourite video makers

2010-11-29T21:21:00.000+00:00

Ehm, yeah sorry guys! It's been a while, college work kind of just overwhelmed me!, I'm procrastinating as i type!
So, I've started watching the walking dead, pretty good.. but their survival skills are a little amateur, they should really read my blog on the subject, of which I'll be adding a part 2 soon, assuming college gives me a chance!
Another thing I want to talk about is Online Video Makers. I'm sure we all have youtube accounts and subscribe to some. Not all of them are on youtube of course, very strict that site about cursing... Cunts

So who is your favourite? I find myself loving TheSpoonyOne, Yahtzee, DanBrown(PogoBat), thevlogbrothers and a host of others.
Who do you hate? I despise Shane Dawson, iJustine, Shay Carl (yeah i said it!) that whole LA gang really.. Except Kassem and SxePhil, they're actually funny..

But yeah, the Spoony One is easily the greatest on the net (your opinion means nothing on this matter) and I'll tell you why.
Noah (his real name) manages to make a 10 part series on why final fantasy 8 sucks, incredibly interesting! funny, and eye opening. He opened my eyes to the highs and catastrophic lows of the highlander series as well as the hilarity that is FMV video games

He covers video games, movies, D&D, Wrestling and a bunch of other stuff all on his own website
http://spoonyexperiment.com/

PS, he has an epic theme song!
PPS here a bunch of links to other cool people

America, what the fuck?

2010-11-08T20:43:00.000+00:00

So, if you follow American news at all you'll know that the Democrats lost the house, my question... Why?
So I'll answer my own question, the republicans won the house because the people are mad that the democrats haven't fixed the republicans mess fast enough?
Ehm... WHAT?! America.. This Demotivator sums you up pretty well

But no, clearly I'm just being ignorant because it was Obama who was in power when the recession hit... and Obama who was in power when the Iraq war started and Obama who destroyed Alderan..
Yeah, if you voted Republican, I wont feel sympathy when America crashes and burns.

Adam out...

Apocolypse Survival 101

2010-10-28T16:33:00.000+01:00

So, if you are a man you have a zombie survival plan.
You do, don't lie!

But whats your plan for nuclear winter? or a Fallout kinda deal?
The reason i ask is because i just bought New Vegas (My review: Do you like Fallout 3? Yes? Then you'll like this) and have been wondering, how would i survive? Conditions are of course different for me as I live in Ireland and the Ireland i live in isn't within a video game, at least as far as i can tell.

If china ever decides to fuck shit up with Nato Ireland should get off without any actual nukes hitting us, but theres fallout to contend with. Lots of Ghouls and Super Mutants and no guns for me to kill em with.. hmm problem? Fuck yeah it is.

So Mission 1, get armed
Guns aren't the cereal box prizes they are in America so are pretty rare
Your best bet, a police station or hunting club
America is the same but also try hillbillys houses/gang members houses/cultist complexes /republicans houses/local library/public schools/retirement homes(for that retro look)/wall mart/shooting range/hospital/church/local supermarket/Toys R Us.. Etc Etc

Mission 2, Don't be a big dam hero
You'll die

Mission 3, Eat stuff skinny
Food and Water, you need a constant supply of it
Quickly, grab your gun and head on down to Tesco/Wall Mart
Grab yourself a trolley, grab all the canned beans and spaghetti you can find as well as bottles of water and BIG buckets
If someone comes running at you, shoot first, regret later

Mission 4, RUN!!
Get the fuck out off the big city, grab a van and head to the mountains or someshit
Find an easily defended position and wait till you run out of beans
This is particularly important when dealing with Zombies for they can't climb or walk very fast
Avoiding crowds of them increases your chances to survive from Red Shirt to Captain Kirk

Mission 5
Sit back and relax, wait for some form of normality to return then head on back to the city you so cruelly raped

Now, feel free to troll the shit out of this
And I'll make Survival 102 with your suggestions

Fucking With Mormons

2010-10-20T21:20:00.000+01:00

I was looking through my old word files and found something I did a while ago
Trolled some mormons, trolled em good
Here's the transcript with minor edits
Also I told them my name was Amanda Huginkiss

Welcome to Mormon.org chat.
A representative will be with you shortly.

Please continue to hold for the next available agent.

We apologize for the delay.
You may continue to hold or email us at missionaries@mormon.org

Agent [Heidi] is ready to assist you.

Me: Hello

Agent [Jackie] has joined the chat.

Heidi: Hello

Heidi: This is Heidi and Jackie

Heidi: We are missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Me: What is the mormon held view on evolution?

Heidi: What brings you to Mormon.org?

Me: I just asked

Jackie: we believe in the creation, that man was created in the image of God.

Jackie: however, that does not mean that we don't support the study of science. we believe that as humans we have the ability to evolve in the sense that we are always progressing.

Me: What about women, who were they created in the image of then?

Me: I was raised religiously, but my parents arent all that knowledgeable

Jackie: we believe that women too were created in the image of God. God created men and women to help each other.

Jackie: do you get a chance to study the bible pretty often?

Me: But if they are created in the image of God too, does that mean God is in fact, half man, half woman, some omnipotent hermaphrodite as it were? or is God in fact a selection of entities, collectively known as God

Heidi: Adam was created in the image of God

Heidi: We believe Eve was created as spoken of in the Bible, a help mate

Me: So women are simply tools to be used by man?

Heidi: No, not at all

Heidi: Men and women were created equal in the sight of God

Heidi: Amanda what faith do you practice?

Me: Simply a follower of Christ, no specific denomination

Me: Im trying to learn more about different demoninations

Me: Whats the mormon view of marriage?

Jackie: so you have been able to gain truth out of reading the bible, correct?

Me: The bible seems contradictory

Me: In the old testament God kills many people, in the new testament Jesus claims he would never harm anyone, ever

Me: I have gained only questions

Heidi: Have you brought your questions to God?

Heidi: Amanda I have found that the best way to find out is to place your faith in God

Me: He's never spoken back, well not often, usually he only tells me football results

Me: That may be the radio though

Me: So

Heidi: Amanda something we can do is we can have those missionaries come and teach you about prayer.

Me: Marriage

Heidi: would you like that

Me: No, im fine on that front

Me: Also, i doubt you have missionaries where i live

Jackie: where do you live?

Jackie: we have over 50,000 missionaries worldwide who all volunteer to share this message of hope and happiness.

Me: I live in Ireland

Heidi: They are over there.

Me: Really?

Heidi: There are missionaries like us who devout 18 months of our life doing this service

Me: But can we get back on topic

Heidi: And they are able to come and share with you more about the Book of Mormon.

Heidi: Would you like that?

Me: Not yet

Me: need more info

Heidi: Perfect then we can call you and be able to explain you more?

Me: No

Me: This is fine

Me: Just basic information

Me: I want to know what seperates you from other churches?

Me: Like marriage, ive heard you're different

Jackie: although we are here to answer questions, we know you can receive the answers to these questions by learning more through the Book of Mormon and the missionaries there in Ireland.

Jackie: feel free to browse the website and learn more.

Me: How do i meet with these missionaries

Jackie: well, if we can get your number and address--we can send your info to our colleagues, missionaries like us, there in Ireland who can contact you and find time to visit and share more with you.

Me: okay

Me: (I gave them the address and phone number of a local Dominoes Pizza)

Jackie: okay, perfect. and something heidi and i can do is call you to make sure they were able to visit you and share more. we can then teach you more until those local missionaries get there!

Jackie: is that okay?

Me: Ehm

Me: Okay

2010-10-19T15:24:00.000+01:00

So I just watched some guy on X Factor sing Born to Run. My ears feel raped after that, how could you do that to springsteen?! And choreographed dancing? What the hell is wrong with these people, If you don't understand a song don't perform it..

Having said that, they also covered Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen one year and that made me want to cry... what next X Factor? WHAT NEXT?! Master of Puppets done A Capella? Actually that'd be pretty funny, someone do that, or if it exists, post a link for me! In return I'll post some seriously genius covers, first off its Livin Da Vida Loca by the Toy Dolls, made me laugh my ass off the first time i saw it

So what things make you want to cry? TV Shows, bands etc etc
Please Tell!

The Hilarity that is Irish Politics

2010-10-15T21:46:00.000+01:00

I'm pretty sure most of my readers are American or at least not Irish so they probably don't understand the sheer hilarity that is Irish politics. So my simpletons, time to enlighten you!
Now, I know you always hear the anecdotes about the drunken Irishman, but none sums it up better than our dear old prime minister Brian Cowen, Grade A retard and drunken lout, the man did an interview after a night out and was evidently drunk live on the radio, funny shit guys. I'll post a link at the bottom of this blog, and yeah that is out PRIME MINISTER, the man in charge of the country.

Another funny and REAL story, a humble Green Party TD (Member of Parliament) got mad in a session of the Dail and decided to unleash his anger in most un-parliamentary language

Suit Up Day!

2010-10-14T00:31:00.000+01:00

So, today was Suit Up Day, the holiday dedicated to How I Met Your Mothers real leading man, BARNEY STINSON! So to celebrate I wore a suit into college today as did one of my friends. My only regret today is that I didn't play any laser tag... How did you guys spend Suit Up Day? Did you even know it was on? If you did would you have done it? Answer me these riddles 3.

In other news, I'm looking for a job, many things I wish to buy, none more important than a new computer, mine has hit shits ville. It still works, but its slow and the fans too loud, makes doing anything a real fucking pain, computers about 5 years old, so probably as powerful as the iPhone 4, and dont get me wrong, I'm all for rapidly advancing tech, I'd just be more on board if i could afford it!
Hmm if only someone would pay me full time to bitch on the internet... The amazing atheist has it MADE!
I'm buying a new fan for my PC soon, one that actually fits, I think I'll restart my vlog when that happens, we'll see, I'd love to do that again, I'll still update this most days, typing is a lot easier you see, for I am LAZY!

Also JAZZ HANDS!

Being an Atheist in Ireland is fun

2010-10-11T23:25:00.000+01:00

So, i stopped believing in god when I was about 11 years old. Why you ask? Well nothing spectacular it just stopped making sense to me but that's not why I am here, I don't intend or even want to convert you christys
I'm talking about being an Atheist in what is easily the most and simultaneously the least christian nation in Europe. Some background, Ireland is Christian in the same sense Good Charlotte is punk, sure they dressed the part.. which is pretty unpunk if you think about it, but they never had the heart, or something

All talk, thats what they were, same rule applies to Ireland and religion, i wonder why so many went to church, must be the sacramental wine..
Anyway, in good poser tradition, they liked to talk the talk, and as such I was taught all about the bible as a kid, including Adam and Eve, i shit you not, they actually taught me that
Fast forward about 7 years and I'm 16 and sitting in Religion class while my nut job of a religion teacher is telling the class that she saw a Banshee when she was a kid and I'm thinking, what the fuck is wrong with this woman, some weeks later shes spouting on that Scientology is bullshit (which it is) but i politely remind that she believes a man can walk on water, and she doesn't yell at me.. no.. no she ... she... AGREES with me
No greater insult, clever bitch, but still, i can tell i pissed her off, and from that point onward i continued to remind her and remind her and remind her of all the crazy shit she believes in

Conclusion? She let me listen to my iPod in class

There ya go simpletons, wanna listen to music in class? Just contradict everything your teacher says

Nostalgia and Shit

Hello simpletons

Petty insults behind us, how are you doing today?
I'm good thanks for asking... Ahem
Yeah, theres a point to this blog don't rush me

So assuming most of you are between the age of 16-20 i can safely say you've played Pokemon
Pokemon is awesome Gen 1 and Gen 2 at least, what the fuck happened afterwards? I dont know either
But still, i love Blue/Red/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal
Recently I've been playing Heart Gold on DS and it includes some pokemon ive never heard off and i keep thinking, whats the point? This is a remake, dont add new ones, who wants that, thats like adding lemon to Coke... and we all know how royally that sucked

Speaking of Awesome
Enjoy the song of the day

Blogging and Youtube

2010-10-07T16:47:00.000+01:00

So, as we all know, blogging has been a big part of the internet for many a year, but riddle me this, is it losing popularity due to websites like Youtube?
Vloggers appeal to a much larger base and have built up quite the community. I've been on youtube since 2006 when Smosh released their viral video, "Pokemon Theme Song", this plus other incredibly popular videos like Charlie bit my finger, Chocolate Rain etc etc brought youtube an audience and vloggers like SxePhil kept that audience which has grown and grown. How does this relate to my first point? Well, who wants to read when they can just watch someone talk?!
I'm fond of both, but from experience i know that most people aren't so keen, that involves concentration like, which is for fucking nerds (Dftba?!)
Not much concentration needed, but the most complicated books kids read now a days is Twilight or Harry Potter, which is not a good thing, not a good thing at all.

Blablablablablablablabla twilight is terrible

No rant for you today, i've done that before!
