I've talked about Apple before, a number of times (&lt;a href="http://www.sanelythinking.com/search/label/Apple"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;). Sometimes bad, sometimes good, but there's always something to say. I think that's why bloggers, writers and journalists love Apple, because there's a;ways something to say about them. All out of factual Apple-related content? That's okay, just speculate! There's always something to think about where a super-secretive&amp;nbsp;company like Apple. Constantly being in the public eye doesn't hurt your word-count, either.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I mentioned the links to my other Apple-related stuff because today, I too, will be speculating. About Siri *gasp*. I know it's been a while since her launch, but she&amp;nbsp;hasn't&amp;nbsp;crossed my mind much lately and I had my bi-monthly&amp;nbsp;shower today, which is where I write this site's content.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
In an article I once wrote about Siri, I mentioned how I wish she would live on my iPhone and stop having to go to Apple's servers every time I ask her a question like &lt;i&gt;call mom. &lt;/i&gt;Then it hit me (in the shower, so it was more of a soap-related concussion). Apple could have made Siri a home on the iPhone itself and only made her go to their servers when we ask things like "&lt;a href="http://www.sanelythinking.com/2009/06/how-to-die-manliest-of-deaths.html"&gt;how do I die a manly death?&lt;/a&gt;". At first I thought that Apple is just a lonely parent who's kids don't call as often as they should, so they made it so Siri had no choice but to call over 9,000 times a day. I quickly dismissed that theory, but not the part about Siri constantly going back to Apple. Read on!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ra8qkfhTvjY/Ty5rRJrnvzI/AAAAAAAAAYk/KGKBOio4c6c/s1600/HT4203_01----en.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ra8qkfhTvjY/Ty5rRJrnvzI/AAAAAAAAAYk/KGKBOio4c6c/s320/HT4203_01----en.png" width="278" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The last recorded using of this option was in 2008&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
These days, phones use lots and lots of data. What with the emails and the iCloud and the HD porn. It certainly puts a pretty penny in the carrier's pockets and even more-so when people go over their pre-chosen data limit. I'm not here to discuss payment-plans and other such business nonsense, but what I will say is that not everyone uses the internet from their iPhone, such as old people or moms. What they &lt;i&gt;would&lt;/i&gt; do, though, is use Siri. Tell me this Siri, tie my shoelaces, Siri. So on...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Can anyone tell me how Siri communicates with Apple's servers? Through the Internet, of-course! An internet connection some previously mentioned people wouldn't need if it&amp;nbsp;weren't for Siri. See it now, people! Siri was invented only to con people into paying for an internet connection on their phone, one that otherwise would not have&amp;nbsp;existed&amp;nbsp;for some people. Sure, Apple isn't directly paid because of this, but the carriers are! And guess who has direct lines to the carriers. Apple! It all fits now, people. Sure, there's the option to turn the data connection off in the settings, but this is likely nothing more than a PR move.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Have you every sneezed? Probably. I did just now. Four times in a row. Four! You know how annoying that is? I'm in the middle of owning on Battlefield, or writing something, or maybe I'm just watching a movie. Doesn't matter what I'm doing, eight million fucking sneezes in a row seem to come out of no-where for the sole purpose of wasting my time! 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;You'll know they're coming, about four seconds before, and you'll know that for the next fifteen seconds you can't do shit. Nothing at all, but wait. What a waste of time. I got shit to do! Every time I sneeze, all I think is "fucking hurry up and get this over with so I can get back to my life!".
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;It's like having an annoying room-mate who disturbs you when you're trying to read Cracked or Whits Blog. Then again, you can bludgeon an annoying room mate to death with a wine bottle, so I prefer the room mate.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Even worse, are those sneezes that happen when you drive. Holy crap! What the fuck, sneeze? You tryin' ta get me killed, dog?! Speeding down the road in tonnes of glass and metal, capable of killing dozens of people isn't enough apparently, it needs to be done while having a fucking spaz attack, too! With your eyes closed, no less.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Fucking sneeze. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662409963004113041-5044937510653864041?l=www.sanelythinking.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sanelythinking/xUQf/~4/gwWM5xntdio" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662409963004113041/posts/default/5044937510653864041?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662409963004113041/posts/default/5044937510653864041?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sanelythinking/xUQf/~3/gwWM5xntdio/sneeze-noun-your-annoying-room-mate.html" title="Sneeze, Noun: Your Annoying Room-Mate" /><author><name>LrdRistovski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12723860213659896364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="33" height="23" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wz4eF3Sm_C8/Tp1n44O2GFI/AAAAAAAAAOU/NCmB5UEgovc/s220/5535_98084458631_720423631_2002029_8184168_n.jpg" /></author><feedburner:origLink>http://www.sanelythinking.com/2012/02/sneeze-noun-your-annoying-room-mate.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0IAQ3w4fCp7ImA9WhRUGU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662409963004113041.post-3920013562282997224</id><published>2012-01-22T14:28:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-31T00:52:22.234+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-01-31T00:52:22.234+11:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Random Ideas" /><title>The Worst Website on the Internet (Hint: it's this One)</title><content type="html">

I know what most of you are thinking, "oh great, here this guy goes again on another one of his ego trips, talking about how his website is mega-awesome and hardcore and how I will never be manly enough to have one". Well, disloyal reader, if you did happen to think such a thought, you'd be sadly mistaken. While it's true that you'll never be manly enough to own a website even half as awesome as this one, truth is, I hate this website. Hate it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
It smokes and doesn't pay his share of the rent most months. In addition, it calls me names and gets in fights with midgets after three-hour-long arguments about Star Trek. Who'd want to live with a website like that? Maybe it would be a little more&amp;nbsp;bearable&amp;nbsp;if it didn't use the sock on the doorknob rule in reverse. Then, when I get used to it, it uses the rule the usual way again and casually switches back a few weeks later. I tell you, that rule switching has lead to many an awkward encounter involving a pick-up truck and the reason I see a&amp;nbsp;psychiatrist&amp;nbsp;three times a week.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I wish I could live with one of the cool websites, like Google or Twitter or maybe even a bank website. Hell, I'd even settle for WhitsBlog (&lt;a href="http://whitsblog.com/"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;) even though it isn't the most well known, it's better than a room mate who sleeps standing up in the shower for fear of being eaten by a sheet. I have got to start remembering to check the shower of a morning before I hop in and get down to...business.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Notice that I didn't mention that I want to live with Facebook. I wouldn't even want to meet the guy. Actually, I have had the misfortune of meeting Facebook on an occasion. Awful fellow, that Facebook. So lound and brutish. And the smell! Don't get me started on the smell. Pine fresh, he was! Pine and talcum. That might seem&amp;nbsp;pleasant&amp;nbsp;right now, but anyone that smells like that must have something to hide. An&amp;nbsp;illegal&amp;nbsp;Mexican wrangling operation in his garage, perhaps? Lord knows I didn't stick around to find out. I got the hell out of there as soon as I got a whiff of the talc.&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, SanelyThinking was my ride that night so I had to spend another hour waiting in the car while he recited the American Pledge of&amp;nbsp;Allegiance over and over again while smoking twelve or thirteen bowls.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
What kind of website would I live with, if I had the choice? Easy. Cracked.com. Have you seen this guy? I've never met him, but judging from this article (&lt;a href="http://www.cracked.com/blog/what-hell-wrong-with-twenty-somethings/"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;) he could keep me entertained for weeks at a time. Plus I bet he smells of talcum (in a good way) and would let you know you that his criminal record only shows three liquor store robberies and a DUI, ruling out any shady, Facebook-style goings on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Why, after all my badmouthing of this website, do I continue to create new content? Because I love to &lt;b&gt;piss him off&lt;/b&gt;, that's why! He hates visitors and refuses to even&amp;nbsp;acknowledge&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;existence&amp;nbsp;of pants! That's why I write things. He doesn't like it. You all hate him too, which is why you keep coming back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"&gt;The babies in Rugrats don't exist and are products of Angelica's imagination because her mother ignores her and her relationship with her father is shallow and parasitic. In reality, Chuckie died along with his mother which is why Chaz is such a nervous wreck. Tommy was a stillborn, which causes Stu to sit in the basement making toys for his son that never had a chance to live, and the DeVilles had an abortion. Angelica couldn't decide weather the unborn child would be male or female and thus simply created the same character in her head twice with different genders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pzcw9xJMlC9wqrkSwT0FmXUFKck/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pzcw9xJMlC9wqrkSwT0FmXUFKck/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pzcw9xJMlC9wqrkSwT0FmXUFKck/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pzcw9xJMlC9wqrkSwT0FmXUFKck/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;According&amp;nbsp;to the most trustworthy of sources, Wikipedia (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubby_chaser#cite_note-Swami-0" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;), a chubby&amp;nbsp;chaser&amp;nbsp;is someone with a "strong or exclusive sexual attraction to overweight or obese people". Lots of fat people out there, and I'd wager that a percentage of those people are women. As the old saying goes, "where there are women, there are men who want to have sex with them". I even said something mildly amusing on the subject years ago; "there's nothing on this Earth people wouldn't eat, and there's nothing on this Earth people won't fuck". I think it fits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Some guys find the thought of having sex with, or even seeing, an overweight woman vomit-worthy. I'd also wager that they can't understand our obsession with said overweight women (100% of the men in my immediate&amp;nbsp;vicinity&amp;nbsp;are chubby chasers). They don't understand our way of life, and that means that they also don't understand why our way of life is superior to their own.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Lets begin with a situation lots of guys are familiar with...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Going out with friends,&amp;nbsp;you're&amp;nbsp;always the hero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Somehow, the planets have&amp;nbsp;aligned with all of the stars in the universe, you're wearing your infinity-leaf clover &lt;i&gt;and &lt;/i&gt;you remembered to shower this week, which means a group of ladies have scoped out your crew and are headed this way. After ever-so-slightly douching it up (inquiring&amp;nbsp;as to weather she&amp;nbsp;prefers strawberrys&amp;nbsp;or blueberries on her pancakes), the (un)lucky&amp;nbsp;females&amp;nbsp;agree to *cough* merge groups for the night. There is one condition, though. Someone has to go home with their fifty-kilo-overweight-friend or the deal is off. Most of the "boyz" don't have a dry forehead between them. Someone is going to have to deal with her.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Worry not, for you like that sort of thing! You offer to "take one for the team" because "they'd do the same for you". In actuality, you'd shoot each of them twice if you only had two bullets at a time and Hitler was there too, but they don't have to know that. If you "bite the bullet" and "take one for the team" often enough, you'll become the hero.&amp;nbsp;Everyone's&amp;nbsp;best friend! Imagine the stuff they'd do for you and the spill-over tail you'll now encounter.&amp;nbsp;Imagine!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Less competition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D2CoWdZ_4_8/TwkRRFLbWWI/AAAAAAAAAWE/uRNKLGfWWfI/s1600/bravery-500x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D2CoWdZ_4_8/TwkRRFLbWWI/AAAAAAAAAWE/uRNKLGfWWfI/s1600/bravery-500x400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iXxuobZp2p0/Twkr5DyiyhI/AAAAAAAAAWs/_6pqg-cQ8GI/s1600/Jamal_Surrounded.jpg"&gt;She'll be more swamped than this guy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Have you ever dated a girl which 95% of guys in a 1km radius would give up their left&amp;nbsp;testicle&amp;nbsp;to bang?&amp;nbsp;Of-course you&amp;nbsp;haven't, but you've seen them. If they're the slutty type, they'll be seen with a new guy every other week. If they're faithful, then they'll stick to one. Though no matter what, men are going to be trying to pick her up, sometimes even when she's already with a man!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
You can never talk to girls like this because millions of losers have tried before you. It doesn't matter what you say or how you look (unless you happen to be a massive tool) she'll think you're just like the morons that came before you, so you've lost before you've even begun.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Relating to the "competition" thing, with all the guys chasing after her, there's more chance of her being a stuck-up bitch. All these guys around her means she always has options, and even if she has the greatest guy alive, she won't stay with him for long because to her, no-one is good enough for her.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
On the other hand, there&amp;nbsp;aren't&amp;nbsp;too many guys waiting in line to chat-up a&amp;nbsp;curvy&amp;nbsp;girl, so she's more approachable and down to Earth. Not superbitch at all!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Married women gain weight, which won't be a problem for you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Going forward a little bit now. Lets say that you actually meet a girl who's voice you can stand to listen to for more than three minutes without beating her, then&amp;nbsp;yourself, to death. You decide that this is all you need to justify marrying her. She doesn't weigh an&amp;nbsp;awful&amp;nbsp;lot and you could pick her up off the ground if you wanted to, but that doesn't matter because she makes great waffles and seems to like you okay.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
They say that when women get married, they start to pack it on, what with the kids and that other stuff that married people do. Also&amp;nbsp;there's&amp;nbsp;the part about not having to attract a mate, which kinda makes me some sort of&amp;nbsp;psychiatric&amp;nbsp;superhero for&amp;nbsp;pointing&amp;nbsp;it out. She gets heavier as she&amp;nbsp;stops&amp;nbsp;working out and/or trying to look sexy every day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Thing is, because you like them heavy, her getting bigger is a &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt; thing to you. Some guys are unrealistic in that they will like thin girls for the rest of their lives. What do you do when your wife packs it on? Sure, you still love her (hopefully), but that sexual attraction is gone. She may find you sexy as hell, but you won't, so you loose. Meanwhile, I'm boning my 120kg Mrs and loving it. Get real, mate.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Better cook, Easier to cook for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Big girls get so big because they eat a lot. Everyone knows that, but what do they eat? They could eat nothing but junk-food, as everybody else seems to think, but have you ever tried surviving on a diet of chocolate, fries and Big Macs? It tastes terrible after a while and bound to make anyone feel like shit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
A more level headed way of thinking would be that she knows how to cook delicious things, and does so regularly. If you knew how to make lots of fatty,&amp;nbsp;surgery, party-in-your-mouth type things, wouldn't you? You would, and you'd eat it. Then make some more and eat that. They say that you should never trust a thin chef, because if his food is so good, why doesn't he eat it? Same with the big girl. She makes&amp;nbsp;delicious&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;food and eats it too, which is proof that it's&amp;nbsp;delicious.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
On the flip side, she's easier to cook for, too. I'm not saying that she would eat slop from a trough if you put it&amp;nbsp;in-front&amp;nbsp;of her, but thin girls say thin for a reason. They're all up in diets or being vegetarian or some other such bullcrap. Maybe they just won't touch a certain type of food. Whatever your thin girl is into, you'll have to plan your meals together around her.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bigger boobs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IGRWRzFhH5w/TwkfEdnSn_I/AAAAAAAAAWc/0nP1OWnx_E8/s1600/massive-tits.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IGRWRzFhH5w/TwkfEdnSn_I/AAAAAAAAAWc/0nP1OWnx_E8/s320/massive-tits.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RmiroUhzu5I/Twkhm1_JNWI/AAAAAAAAAWk/57flxtaFUKE/s1600/busty-girl-hugging-big-boobs.jpg"&gt;Gods Apology&amp;nbsp;to Fat Girls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
This might not mean much to some guys, but studies have shown that guys love boobs. Specifically, big boobs.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Looking at big girls vs thin girls, a higher percentage of big girls have big boobs vs the percentage of thin girls who have big boobs.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
You might say things like "so what? It's just fat anyway?" Well then, what do you think all boobs are made from?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Sure, lots of thin girls have massive boobs on them, but it just doesn't look right on such a small frame. It's&amp;nbsp;disproportional. Big boobs look much more at home on a big frame.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Less Active&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
It can be a good or bad thing depending on how you choose to look at it, but there are lots of lazy guys out there with thin girlfriends who want to&amp;nbsp;exercise with them. It could be running, jumping rope, lifting weights, whatever. Your girlfriend wants to do stuff , and this is something she does and she wants you with her when she does it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Fat girls are fat partly because they don't like that kind of stuff. They don't like running (it hurts their knees, plus it's super hard) and they don't like riding bikes or swimming laps. They don't (usually, more on that later) &amp;nbsp;like working up a sweat. They're content with doing active things minus the active. Not&amp;nbsp;necessarily&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;passive activities like watching TV all the damn time, but less&amp;nbsp;strenuous&amp;nbsp;activities like video games or gardening. Walking around together can be fun, too. Doesn't&amp;nbsp;really&amp;nbsp;matter where. Try it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Big girls go harder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Before I get a whole lot of shit from big girls reading this, I'm going to say that this is purely&amp;nbsp;anecdotal and no formal study (that I know of) has been carried out, though I wish they would hurry up on it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Apart from stories shared between bros, there is no evidence of big girls going harder than thin girls, but the theory goes like this; big girls go harder because they don't know when they're going to get it next. Sounds logical, right? If you loved doing something but you're not sure when you'll get the chance again, you'd do it as hard as you could and get as much enjoyment as you could, right? Makes sense.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
But it says nothing about girls in a relationship, who have a guy they can do it with any time. I have another theory, that these girls can get it any time, but they feel that they aren't worthy of their partner (and possibly &amp;nbsp;because of the way they have been treated in the past, both because of their weight), and they try to make up for it in other ways. This is one of those ways.&amp;nbsp;Again, this is purely anecdotal.&lt;br /&gt;

For a company.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Forget freelancing, starting a business, making wares and selling them (which could be considered freelancing), or the no-doubt countless other creative ways there are to make some scratch. No. The only way to make it in this world to make someone else rich for minimum wage like a lower class peon, all while he&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;does another line off a hooker's ass.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
While there is money to be made working for the man, some people (you, no doubt) wouldn't mind making some extra molah for little extra effort. I'm looking at you, McDuck! Now, these are by no means "Get Rich Quick" schemes. In-fact, if you think such a thing even exists, I ask you to kindly cancel your Internet subscription and headbutt the pavement.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
These are legit ways to make a little dough on the side, and they're all free. None of that "pay cash to get started" crap here. Put enough of them together, and who knows what you could accomplish! Let's move on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AppTrailers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Requirement/s: iPhone/iTouch/Android Device&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
AppTrailers is a fairly recent start-up, where the idea of you making money revolves around the idea of you watching videos on your Android/iDevice. The iDevice&amp;nbsp;version&amp;nbsp;can be had for free from the App store by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/app-trailers/id469489347?mt=8"&gt;clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The business idea here is simple. Ad agencies pay the &lt;i&gt;ApppTrailers &lt;/i&gt;guys to display video ads on their app. Every time someone watches a video, they get paid, and pass on some of that money to whoever watched the video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
What's more, you can get paid by referring others to the app, which means you could bring in (some) bacon without lifting more than a finger! More people is good for everyone. It means more customers therefore more videos therefore more money for everyone involved. Win-win-win!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get it by searching for &lt;i&gt;apptrailers &lt;/i&gt;in your device's app store. Also, since you read about it here, use &lt;i&gt;sanelythinking&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;when asked for a referrer's username. There's instant bonus points right there (points=cash). Cash can be deposited into PayPal, which is always a nice touch. They have some other things to spend the points on, like PlayStation Network cards and Amazon gift vouchers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;MyOpinions&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Requirement/s: Internet Connection&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
You've likely already heard/read about a slew of survey sites and doing a Google search for "paid surveys" yields many many results. They all work on the same principle, that is, research companies pay them for people doing surveys and they pass some of that money onto whoever actually does the surveys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are some good ones out there, my&amp;nbsp;favorite&amp;nbsp;is &lt;i&gt;My Opinions.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;They have surveys on a fairly regular basis, and pay between one and 6 dollars per 15 minute survey. It may not sound like much, but over time it really adds up. Whats more, every survey also earns you&amp;nbsp;entries&amp;nbsp;to win $10,000. That's&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;entries&lt;/i&gt;, you don't get the money right away. I could almost feel the skeptic's breathe down my neck there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one is great for stay-at-home moms or unemployed people looking for an easy way to make some extra scratch. &lt;a href="http://www.myopinions.com.au/join/default.aspx?refer=lrdristovski"&gt;Follow this link to get started&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Start a Blog&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Who wouldn't want a blog? Blogs are awesome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://whitsblog.com/"&gt;Exhibit&amp;nbsp;A&lt;/a&gt;. A blog can also make you some extra ham, if you do it right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There you have it. Later on, I will bring a up a money making scheme so massive, it will litirally unleash the&amp;nbsp;millionaire&amp;nbsp;inside! Not now, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Zumu5IThrDptMzUili-BEmbQzLc/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Zumu5IThrDptMzUili-BEmbQzLc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Zumu5IThrDptMzUili-BEmbQzLc/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Zumu5IThrDptMzUili-BEmbQzLc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;This sin't as big an honor as you'd think. 2011 was filled with terrible "music" from the likes of &lt;a href="http://www.sanelythinking.com/2011/06/i-hate-lazy-talentless-artists.html"&gt;Pitbull and other uninspired, pre-packaged people&lt;/a&gt;. These days, people seem to enjoy listening to just about any subject matter &amp;nbsp;anything as long as it has a hum-drum beat going along with it and no chorus what-so-ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that mini-rant out of the way, I think the best song that came out during the entire 365 day duration of 2011 was&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X0dnp5E8FMo" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
This song is&amp;nbsp;pleasant&amp;nbsp;enough. It has a simple but catchy beat and doesn't rely on the "we party in the clubs with bitches and coke" gimmick to get through to people. Anyone in the world can listen to music like this because the beat is awesome yet mellow and the lyrics are fun to listen to even if you don't understand them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The reason this was the best song of last year (about a week ago when I write this) is partly to do with the catchy beat, but mostly it's because of the lyrics. I'm sure you've heard this song before, but listen to it again in that box up there and think about the lyrics. If this song is new to you, you have more reason to do that thing I just said. I'll wait.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
All done? Good. What I like about the lyrics here, is something that seems to be lost on 90% of music makers these days.&amp;nbsp;Subtly. Do you know what this song is about? I'm sure most of you do, but for that guy who's still scratching his head back there (don't try to hide it), I'll explain. Drugs. This song is about drugs, or more specifically, a girl and her addiction. Also, prostitution. Basically it's about a girl who's into drugs and becomes a prostitute to fund her addiction and eventually dies. Crazy stuff. Just look at these lyrics:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;White lips, pale face, breathing in snow flakes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
I doubt he's discussing the finer points of powdered suger right there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Stuck in her daydream, been this way since 18.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
I'm not going to&amp;nbsp;say what is meant by "daydream", but I'll just say that the&amp;nbsp;freaking sandman didn't put here there. &amp;nbsp;It could also mean that she wants a better life for herself but it seems impossible. Also, "been this way since 18" implies that she's been this way for long time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Long nights, strange men...or sells love to another man&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Two&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;lines, clearly implying prostitution. The fact that she has a pimp is&amp;nbsp;revealed&amp;nbsp;just before the second line.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The worst things in life come free to us; cos we're just under the upper hand; and go mad for a couple grams&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The first line there, "the worst things come free", talks about&amp;nbsp;violence, the&amp;nbsp;violence&amp;nbsp;she&amp;nbsp;receives&amp;nbsp;being a prostitute. "Under the upper hand" talks about her pimp (pimp slap?) and is also a symbol of&amp;nbsp;violence&amp;nbsp;and neglect, possibly at the hands of her pimp. The last one "go mad for a couple grams" talks about her life having no meaning the drugs make her go wild, even for a small amount. They make&amp;nbsp;her&amp;nbsp;feel better.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Tried to swim and stay afloat&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
She tries not to drown in the bad things in her life. She tries to find good but cannot.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But lately her face seems; slowly sinking wasting; crumbling like&amp;nbsp;pastries&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Two meanings here. First is the&amp;nbsp;literal&amp;nbsp;meaning of her skin losing her youth-like glow (on account of the blow). The second meaning implies that she is unhealthy and unhappy&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;An angel will die; covered in white&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
She was once an angel (before she was 18) and passes away possibly from a cocaine overdose. The line "covered in white" could simply be talking about her&amp;nbsp;involvement&amp;nbsp;in the world of illicit substances.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
This song tells a story. I like that. We need more &amp;nbsp;music like this and less music like this:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
As a side not to that last song, not all men stand there and let you harass them just for being a woman. If they wanted to, those guys could have killed every woman there in 60 seconds flat. They chose not to. Also, "Run the World" was written by four people and probably took years for them to do it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662409963004113041-6191221393986518874?l=www.sanelythinking.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sanelythinking/xUQf/~4/wV9IZYWyhfM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662409963004113041/posts/default/6191221393986518874?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662409963004113041/posts/default/6191221393986518874?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sanelythinking/xUQf/~3/wV9IZYWyhfM/best-song-of-2011.html" title="The Best Song of 2011" /><author><name>LrdRistovski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12723860213659896364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="33" height="23" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wz4eF3Sm_C8/Tp1n44O2GFI/AAAAAAAAAOU/NCmB5UEgovc/s220/5535_98084458631_720423631_2002029_8184168_n.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/X0dnp5E8FMo/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><feedburner:origLink>http://www.sanelythinking.com/2012/01/best-song-of-2011.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0ACSH07eyp7ImA9WhRWGU8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662409963004113041.post-8261607462091802373</id><published>2012-01-04T01:42:00.005+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-07T19:42:49.303+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-01-07T19:42:49.303+11:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Game of the Year Awards" /><title>Award Video Music (Update: My Bad)</title><content type="html">

Recently, one of my loyal (I'm sure) followers&amp;nbsp;inquired&amp;nbsp;about&amp;nbsp;the music used in the GameTrailers 2011 Game of the Year Awards (&lt;a href="http://www.sanelythinking.com/2012/01/gametrailers-game-of-year-awards-2011_5066.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;). Agreeing on the fact that it is awesome, I set out to find it. Alas, I could not, so I did what anyone would do. I downloaded the awards video and edited out everything except&amp;nbsp;the music I wanted. Hardcore piracy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54678198/game-of-the-year_001.mp3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Theme 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54678198/game-of-the-year_002.mp3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Theme 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54678198/game-of-the-year_story.mp3"&gt;Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Update: My bad guys, I have just been informed that this music is from a track by The Racketeers, and apparently it's used a lot in popular culture, such as the &lt;i&gt;Pirates of the Caribbean&lt;/i&gt; theme. Maybe I should get out more. Anyway, here it is in YouTube form. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I don't know what gets me excited about these awards. Maybe it's taking a look at the past year and looking through it all for the best of the best. Maybe it's the gambling I experience after spending months speculating the winner of the "Game of the Year" award. No matter what, it always shapes up to be a great thirty or so categories. Sometimes games that I think are deserving don't even get a mention, and other times games that clearly deserve to win, clearly don't. No matter what happens, it's always fun to sit back and watch the awards videos, just like it is to write about them.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Twice a year, I spend ten days writing three articles a day. Some years I'm at my busiest, others not so much, but no matter what, = I always enjoy bringing my opinions, insight, deranged thoughts, whatever you want to call them, to you, and even if I were a thrill-seeking billionare with Batman on speed-dial, I wouldn't have it any other way.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Now, before I watch the awards video, I have my own predictions. I can't begin to speculate on the winner, but I know that Skyrim will be in the list of nominees, as will Battlefield 3 and The Witcher 2. Anything else is up in the air. On with the awards!&amp;nbsp;A link to the awards video, and links to trailers, reviews etc of all the nominees can be found below.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
In the previous post (&lt;a href="http://www.sanelythinking.com/2012/01/gametrailers-game-of-year-awards-2011_2019.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;), I talked about "Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3". More specifically, games. This time, we talk about other things, but we stay on the topic of games and game related things - because I sure as hell don't care if my console can stream Netflix.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
A big thing people talk about when they talk about the Xbox's superiority is the online functionality, Xbox Live. Honestly, i don't see the difference between this and PSN. Both services allow you to play online with your friends and voice chat at the same time. Granted, Xbox Live has cross-game voice chat, but then again, the PlayStation network is free for everyone to use. I don't know about you, but free stuff always beats out listening to 12-year-olds scream into my ear for three hours. Maybe it's just me. PSN now has a paid version of their service, but it's more like PSN Premium - It offers game discounts and automatic cloud syncing of saved games. What it doesn't do, is force you to pay a rediculus amount (read: &amp;gt;$0) for something that should be free in the first place. 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Kinect is also supposed to be a big selling point for the Xbox, but from what I can see, Kinect is nothing but a Dance Central/Crappy Minigame Collection machine. What Kinect is designed to compete with, in the field of Motion Games, is PlayStation Move. The best way to describe the Move is "Wii HD". The Move can be played with 1/2 wand controllers (like a Wiimote) or a wand/thumbstick controller combo (like a Wiimote + Nunchuck). This means there are so many more games that are playable with the Move vs the Kinect (that are actually worth playing). RPGs and Shooters are both massive franchises right now. It is 110% possible to play these with the Move. Killzone 3 features this functionality. Kinect? Sorry chump, It's Dance Central, Child of Eden or nothing for you.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Don't get me wrong, the Kinect is a great piece of hardware, filled with all sorts of gizmos and sensors. It's just not suited to gaming, which for now, still requires some sort of controller

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
What an award. Roughly translates to "The Best Game on the Best Console". Truly, the PS3 is the greatest games console to ever grace this planet (this generation, anyway). I don't really understand what all the Xbox 360 fanboys are on about. "The Xbox is clearly superior!". Give me a break!
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Okay, okay, I will give them some credit. If, one day, I want to play that pathetic excuse for a shooter, Halo, or if I want to play that shoozefest of a shooter, Gears of War, or those other Xbox exclusives, Fable, Alan Wake and Forza, I will play an Xbox. Also, when I want to look like a dickhead playing half-arsed Kinect games, I'll knock on Microsoft's door.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
On the other hand, I will head over to the PlayStation 3 to play games like; Uncharted, Killzone, Ratchet and Clank, inFamous, Motorstorm, Buzz, Resistance, God of War, Gran Turismo, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, Ninja Gaiden, SingStar, MAG and Sly Cooper. Notice the difference? The games that are exclusive (avaliable for that console) to the Xbox 360 is a small selection. Two shooters, an RPG, a racer (circut) and a horror adventure.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Meanwhile, the PS3 has a wide selection; Shooters, Racers (on and off-road), platformers, Beat-Em Ups, Action/Adventures, Music Games and Party Games. If the handful of Xbox 360 exclusives were the only games I was interested in, I would go for the Xbox, but there are other games out there. Games that the Xbox simply doesn't have. Microsoft frequently tries to out-do Sony by getting timed exclusives, like having new map-packs avaliable on COD thirty days earlier than the Sony guys. Lets get something straight. No only am I getting some crappy map-pack exclusive for spending my hard-earned money on your console, but it's not really exclusive? I just get it a month or two before my friends. Who gives a fuck?! Give me something that the other guys will NEVER get! Give me a new game mode, hell, even a new WEAPON on COD that my PS3 friends won't have, but a non-exclusive map-pack? Get the fuck over yourself.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I don't know about many other people out there, but I love a good single-player campaign. Don't get me wrong, I love multiplayer, too, but something about a great single-player campaign makes me want to keep going through to the end. I&amp;nbsp;hardly&amp;nbsp;ever even touch the multiplayer until I've gone through the single-player mode. It's just how I was raised. I'm a Battlefield man at heart, but the single-player campaign in Call of Duty: Black-Ops blew my mind!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
On the flip side, some people out there don't even touch the single-player mode and go straight for the multiplayer, even in games like Grand Theft Auto, where the story missions are half the fun. It's so sad that devs spend so much time and effort to craft a great single-player experience and some people just fuck it off altogether. Some publishers are considering selling a game in DLC form ( part 1, 2 &amp;amp; 3) because people don't bother with the story even getting to half way. I'm guessing that this means that the multi-pllayer will come on the disk and you must re-buy the rest of the game.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
This is more like it. The "Best (Insert Platform Here) Game" doesn't really mean anything anymore. These days, any game can win any one of those awards, simply because of the fact that they are made avaliable for that console. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can win the title of "Best Wii Game of 2011" because of the fact that a Wii version has been made. Forget those exclusives, or the games made with a specific platform in mind, if it's on that platform, it's eligible! 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
"Best Platform Exclusive" is one of the few awards I actually care about. Others include "Best RPG", "Best Shooter", "Best Graphics" and "Game of the Year". I honestly couldn't give two fucks about "Best Sports Game". In my opinion, they're all horse shit, but I report on them anyway, because that's what people do.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
It's a shame that all of the nominees this year are online multiplayer only. Not that these games can really be played on a split-screen (maybe using a LAN option like the original Halo on Xbox) but I would have liked to see at-least one game on the list that you can play with someone who is sitting right next to you.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Infact, I'd struggle to name five games that came out this year that let you play with the person bescide you (no, crappy Kinect games don't count). The reason behind this is simple, money. You see, four player local multiplayer on a $60 game means that only one copy is bought ($60) and paid for between four people. When online multiplayer is the only option for dour people to play  together, all four people must buy a copy of the game each ($240). Sad, really.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
People are social creatures. We crave the company of other people, more than just some twelve-year-old screaming profanities into a headset. Why do you think that four of the &lt;a href="http://kotaku.com/5132576/what-was-2008s-best-selling-game-in-the-us"&gt;five top selling games in 2008 were on the Wii&lt;/a&gt;? The Wii's online multiplayer component left something to be desired, but it was the local multiplayer that really shines. Notice that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is on that list. Lots of drunken, four-player lasughs to be had there. Motorstorm was released a year&amp;nbsp;earlier with&amp;nbsp;no local multiplayer, only online. What were they thinking? I have no doubt that that decision hurt the game's sales.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
People are precicting the end of PC gaming as we know it, saying that consoles are better than PCs at every turn. Well then, console fanboy, answer this. Between consoles and PCs, which platform has overall better and sound? Which is better for FPS, RTS and MMORPGs? Which allows you to play online with an unlimited amount of people (as long as the devs put it into the game)? Which allows for more controll of your gaming experience? The answer to all of those questions is the PC, of-course!
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I'm not saying that the PC is superior in every way. Given the choice, I would rather play games like God of War, Grand Theft Auto, Need for Speed and Street Fighter on consoles, because they are simply better for those types of games. Consoles are great for games that don't much rely on thumbsticks as much as they do face bottons. Could you imagine playing Street Fighter using a keyboard? That'd get real uncomfortable real quickly. 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Now imagine playing Starcraft on a console. You could never get the speed and contol that a keyboard and mouse combo gives you. RTS and FPS plays better on PCs because they require very quick response times. You could argue that FPS plays fine using two thumbsticks, but that's because you have never played a PC FPS. The best way to explain it, is to tell you to go a your PC and play the original Halo. If you only own a laptop, get yourself a real. Then you'll see the difference. 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Anyone who even pretends to follow video games know's what's going on here. It's okay everyone, you can drop the farce. Don't pretend you don't know. This award comes down to two contenders. I almost wrote "solid contenders" right there, but then I remembered that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is one of them. The other one, ofcourse, is Battlefield 3. I'm confident that Call of Duty will beat out Battlefield, not because it's a better game (ha!) but because everyone is so wrapped in in their yearly-refresh-with-new-textures-and-a-name-change Call of Crap that they can't perceive pure awesome when it's right there on the screen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
All is not lost, however. While other games try new and innovative concepts, Call of Duty will still be pulling the same shit they did for the first Modern Warfare. People will get tired of buying the newest "Random Shooting Game" every year and sales will eventualy run dry. That will either force Infinity Ward to try something new with the series, or cancel it all together. If they try something new, I'll hate that too. I'm Battlefield to the bone.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
For decades, and even centuries, people have played RPGs. Maybe not in video game form, but table-top versions such as Dungons and Dragons. The people that played these games were on the fringe of society, looked down upon by the mainstream masses. They were seen as (and usually were) pain skinned, skinny, weakling dorks with thick glasses and an acne problem. 

Thanks to these people, we now have Skyrim.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Not so bad now, are they? So maybe you should stop harrasing that kid with the WOW addition. Afterall, his ansestors gave you Skyrim. One more thing. After watching the video, you may be surprised. The winner is not who you might think.

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Software line-up. Heading toward the business end of things now. I don't think it matters much who wins this award&amp;nbsp;besides&amp;nbsp;bragging rights. To me, the consoles are the same now as they were when they first launched; the PlayStation 3 is clearly the best with a otn of games and third-party support, the Wii is a fun party machine full of Mario and&amp;nbsp;Excite&amp;nbsp;Truck goodness and the Xbox 360 is still a Halo and gears of War machine. What's changed?
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
One day there will be no more consoles, only one service, and the big three (Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft) will be demoted to cimply making osftware, like Sega. That's how I see things happening, anyway. A link to the awards video, and links to trailers, reviews etc of all the nominees can be found below.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Enough of the small time folks, this is the big leagues. The lead up to the elusive "Game of the Year" award. Without watching the awards video, I can name two worthy contenders off the cop of my head; Battlefield 3 and The Elder Scrolls V. Call of Duty will be in there too, for sure, though I don't know why. The Engine they use for COD hasn't changed in years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
That's lazy game design right there, and you chumps keep paying! For shame.

Let's watch the awards video and see if I'm right about my&amp;nbsp;predictions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Well well, one of my&amp;nbsp;predictions&amp;nbsp;came true. I won't divulge which one, but lets just say that Call of Duty didn't make the cut, and&amp;nbsp;rightfully&amp;nbsp;so. That game is boring and&amp;nbsp;repetitive. The winner of this award wasn't who I expected to win, given the things the announcer said about the other games. It certainly deserves to be in the top five, but I don't think it deserved to win. Anyone out there played all these games on the highest graphics level? Do you think the winner was deserving? Think someone else should have won instead? Discuss away in the comments.

I was dreading this category because I don't reallt know what to say about fighting games. I know about Tekken and Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros, and I've only played two of those. Tekken was my first fighter and I don't have many problems with it, but it's nothing special, either. I mean, it's okay to bring out when you have four or five friends over and two of them could duke it out while others converse or watch or whatever (then you switch), but to me, that's all it's good for, really. I wouldn't sit down and play it by myself. 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/game/2686.html"&gt;Super Smash Bros.Brawl&lt;/a&gt; is my all time favourite fighter of all time. Fo sho! All the characters and the locations and the special movies and the co-op campaign and the awesome graphics and the 60 fps and the music and the four player action and the&amp;nbsp;massively&amp;nbsp;customisable matches. Phew! Buy it for sure. No need to watch the review, just buy it. You'll love it. What, you callin' me a liar?

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
As a society, we love our game, not matter the type. RPG, Racing, Shooters, Arcade Games, Beat 'em Ups, whatever. We love it all. Tough sometimes, a stand alone game just isn't enough. We neeed more! And I don't mean that crappy skin you got for your Street Fighter IV character. We demend an extra game to go ontop of the game we already have! An extra game that adds new levels and new missions and whole new ways to play.&amp;nbsp;Lots of games have expansions and every genre can get them. One or two expansions are find, but some games go overboard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The Sims is the first thing that comes to mind. Every "Sims" game that has been made (thre so far) has had exactly eight expansions. Every time. It has become predictable now. If you want a new "sims" game, just wait until they make eight expansions. You have to buy them all too! I don't mind paying since they aren't usually full price, it's just a hassle to buy and install the new one each time. I think that when it gets released, there should be two pricing options. The regular game for the regular price, and then the (game + expansions) price. The second one would be priced at $200-$300 and come with a code that you enter when you install it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Every time a new expansion gets released, it gets downloaded automatically for free. Battlefield 3 did that exact thing with their "Back to Karkland" expansion. Steam would be perfect for this

This is not an "award" that any development studio wants to win. It's certainly not the badge of shame that some make it out to be, sometimes expectations are so great that no games can live up to them. Having said that, it's not something to be proud of either.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
What game&amp;nbsp;disappoint&amp;nbsp;you the most this year? What dissapointed you the most this year out of everything? I'm you everyone has at-least one thing on that list. My most disappointing&amp;nbsp;game this year is the same as it is every year, Blur. Not because it's bad or not fun, but because of the idiots that didn't buy it despite it's badassary. It means that there are not a lot of people to play with online, and that makes me sad.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
These days, most games are becoming fully downloadable titles, meaning you don't need a disk to play them. This is all well and good, but it does raise some questions about piracy - even on the PS3. I don't own an Xbox 360 so I can't comment. 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
I download lots of full fledged games for my PS3, games which my friends want to play but are too cheap to buy themselves, so we have a system. I have an account on each one of their PS3s that is automatically logged into my PSN account when it starts up. When I download a new game, my friend/s go on my "recently download" list on the PSN store using my PSN account and download that title to their own PS3. There you go, now all of my friends and I have this game and I'm the only one who paid! 
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Hold on one moment, this sounds like it only benifits them. No matter, next time, I will collect a tener from each of them, that'll be fair for everyone. Plus, last week I shat in a mailbox, so it's all good.
