Ooooooohhhh, level up. Hope nothing I said gets deleted anytime soon or I lose points.
So I am contemplating buying Half Life 2 via Steam. Jarvi tells me to but I know that some people who bought HL2 using that service got really pissed for some reason. I don't know why, I just know there were a lot of angry letters to EGM.
Speaking of EGM, the Xbox article is cool.

I don't really hate Nintendo fanboys because they have a right to be pissed.

But I hate Xbox fanboys because they act super macho.

And I hate PS2 fanboys because they think they're the greatest people on earth.

Dude, Sony and MS have been lying to everybody to one-up each other. So for Ps2 fanboys to call xbox players 'lemmings' and vice versa is just duplicitous on the part of Sony and MS.

It's always like that, when one guy says you're being brainwashed, the guys he's accusing lashes back with the same comment. Makes a guy untrustworthy.

But I especially hate PS2 and PC fanboys because PC fanboys think PCs are so awesome and that consoles are stupid, which is dumb because you're deliberately sapping fun out of your life based off a stupid prejudice. And PS2 fanboys act like everybody else is being manipulated and not them while touting low quality games as paragons of technological progress.

Fanboys are the ruptured anus of society.

Well, for the first half Palpatine looks like Joe Liebermen, then in the second half he looks like a talking raisin.
In the meantime, I think Starcraft Ghost looks great. Just hope the single player is good.
What I can't understand is why the hell so many Starcraft fans are against it. It's because they hate consoles, apparently. Morons. There are a ton of awesome games on these consoles and any idiot who sits around thinking consoles are for morons or whatnot, theyh can go to hell. They're basically saying that they want to miss out on a ton of great games because of some stupid bias that was in the making since they were four. And you know they're all super dorks, because no average person would nix on something as simple as a console so they can buy a supercomplicated PC that never stops being expensive and has to be torn apart every two years to get new games that are usually filled with bugs when they make it to retail and whose online play basically consists of morons, asshats and cheaters who act like rejects from society when they lose.
That's why I hardly play online games.

'Tis a boring day. I need to buy Advent Rising and Half-Life 2 next week. Don't know if I'm that patient, though.

That's not really a bug in programming, though. I downloaded a ptach, and one of the catches was that I had to do some maintenance with the discs involved- but guess what! I don't have the discs. So whatever.

I was playing CNC Generals yesterday and something wierd happened. Every map I played was green. I don't know why. I think it might be a bug in the game- don't know if it's freom the Omega drivers or if it's from the patches I downloaded or what. Wierd.
I also had to uninstall Generals in order to get the thing working right at one time- I plugged a CD in once and the thing kept saying "please insert CD 1" even though it was in there. So I deleted eveything related to the overall makeup of Generals, minus saved games and reinstalled everything then downloaded the patches. Then I played it and everything was pale green. Then I restarted the game after I experienced such huge slwodown- it was like a slideshow. Totally wierd.
Hope my PC isn't screwing up.

That's the name of an article on a german game site. I don't think that Gears is going to be a halo killer but I do believe it will be f-in awesome.
Killzone 2 actually looks pretty interesting, not really as a game but from a story standpoint. I mean it's like this game about supernazis trying to kill everybody. Probably not going to be good but then you never know. Killzone sucked but killzone 2 might be decent. Quake 4 has a cool premise, I hope it's ready for launch at the X360's release.

It's a good song. It's done by Tool. It's a German heavy industrial. The song is actually a german recipe for cookies thaty don't use eggs.
So, in other news I'm an officer in the Advent Rising Union. Haven't really been on it that much but now I have a bit of an obligation to help out.
Advent Rising will pwn.

Yeah, I finally watched the whole Nintendo press conference and I have to say that it was interesting. I think it's fascinating that the Revolution will be able to play every single video game ever produced by Nintendo. That's a huge step.
But you know what's interesting? If this thing gets good third party support there will be a good chance that it will have a portable screen for it. With such a small console and with that Wi-fi connection you'd be able to take it anywhere.
Awesome. I especially like what I saw for Metroid Prime and I definitely liked hearing about a next-gen Zelda already being made.

And that's why I'll be sober for my life. The only alcohol I've evert had is communion wine. The only swig of beer I ever took tasted terrible. How it can be seen as cool to drink it, I'll never know. Maybe it's like coffee.

It makes me want so bad to just not turn 18. The world must suck real bad if the only two beverages that are considered to be mainstream and popular taste absolutely rancid. Soda kicks ass, don't know why the hell adults drink beer and coffee. Both taste terrible in their basic state and the only way coffee actually tastes even remotely good is by adding lots of sugar. So it's a no win situation. One drink gets you hyped up, another one makes you totally wasted. Both taste terrible and have the potential to destroy you either by getting you into a car crash or shrinking your arteries until blood has to travel single file through your bloodstream. How screwed up is that?

In other news, I read an article from a guy who did a graduation speech. He stated that there are 400 billion stars in our galaxy, and there's 140 billion galaxies and more bound to be created as the universe expands.
This had two effects on me.
The first ws that I decided that anybody who thought that Earth was the only planet anywhere with any type of life had to absolutely retarded. There's definitely bacterial life out there, if there isn't hyperintelligent forms.
The other effect was that of expounding a feeling of insignificance on me. Let's see for a moment. That's a total of
56000000000000000000000 stars out there. The sheer size of the universe makes one feel so insignificant that I swear I felt my penis shrink.
