Made a new image, as you can see...the Bit part of 8-Bit Glory got cut off though...oh well.

Did anyone see the backwards thread in the OT? Well, I was modded because I posted "EYES HURT! EYES HURT!" backwards. A true statement, but disruptive. So, now it's been modded, and the post is gone. I have to say, being modded is not a fun experience. It was my first time on this site too, and only the second site I've been moderated on.

Wait, maybe this makes me some kind of spy, or...a Saboteur! Yeah, like that game that's coming out in 2008! That game looks cool.

Wait...wrong Saboteur.

Calendar:Sunday the 9th. The day that will go down in history. Today we learned that two posters lived right next to each other, as one made a thread complaining about how his neighbor is always singing in the shower, and another wondered is he was a bad singer, because his neighbor had screamed "SHUT UP!" at 4:00 in the morning. Proving, the world is small, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

I got me my first emblem. Apparently tagging things with "Funny" "Zombies" "Gman" and "Speaking in the third person" is of high quality.

-A call to arms-

It's Friday, I'm tired, and I've given up hope of ever playing Bioshock in the comfort of my onw home. After 3 or 4 attempts to install and boot the mother-flubbing thing. I am angry. And when I get angry, Primal Zen gets enraged. And when Primal Zen gets enraged, PEOPLE DIE!

You can guess which is Primal Zen and which is normal Zen.

Apparently, my computer can't handle the power hungry beast that is Bioshock. Come on people, Boston made it. Boston. This is why we need a universal computer, something with no differing requirements between each module, and that is inexpensive to care for and looks attractive. Something named after a fruit...

I think there is a real market for Mac gaming. Remember all the times when you got frustrated with your computer when you found out you couldn't run Crysis.

Think about it.

-You smell of it-

Well, my computer has been fixed, meaning I can now take advantage of multiple tabs and give pictures to the people again. Let the fun begin....

Anyway, I couldn't think of anything to write about, so now I guess I'll just present the week and tell you who failed and who didn't.

Yesterday: Someone on Off-Topic proposed a theory that in January(apparently that's next month) 21-27, 6 of the 8 planets in the solar system will align in some funky way to form a cross. Yes, a cross you see in churches. At first, it sounded kind of cool("Look! The planets are a cross!") Then he said the sun would implode and be reborn in such a violent manner that the Earth would be enveloped in it's heat and everyone would fry instantly. Wow. But no need to worry, I'm sure the chances of this happening are about the same chances of me waking up tomorrowa gorilla. And don't worry, that hasn't happened. How could a gorilla have such lovely typing? So, crazy apocalyptic sun im/explosion theory? FAIL.

On another forum, we have a weekly avatar contest. Every week we change our avatar to fit the theme, and whoever has the best one chooses next weeks theme. In previous weeks, it had been logical things, like historical figures, sports, and others like that. But now, it's fruit. Yes, fruit. Why? We'll never know. Matthewaos picking fruit as the theme? FAIL.

Well, now it's been five minutes, I've gotta pee, and this is getting boring.

Friday, November 23.

Try new things day: Go out there and try something you haven't done before! Skydive! Climb a mountain! Climb a mountain wall at the gym! Push a hoop with a stick down a dirt road!

-They're Coming-

Today is Wednesday, so tomorrow is Thursday. And if it's November, and today is Wednesday the 21st, then tomorrow is Thusrday the 22nd, and that can only mean one thing! Thanksgiving! EEEK!!! Every single year. I have to face the hated holiday. Where I have to eat lots of different foods I don't neccesarily enjoy, with the exception of a pie slice at the end and ham(If the turkeys get smart and run to the hills). Couple this with the loads of visitors, monumentus crowds at the TV, and the threat of more always on the horizon, and you see my problem. Why can't we just have a nice, easy holiday that can be blown through in about five minutes.

"I'd like to give thanks for everything we have and all the good things in the world, like kittens, the Twilight Zone, and Comic-Con."

There? That wasn't so bad, was it? Unfortunately, every other person on the face of the earth loves Thanksgiving and the future doesn't show me getting the calendar changes I want any time soon. *sigh* In other news, my main computer has been infected with the T-Virus, and I had to put it down. (In actuality, it has a virus and I'm keeping it off till it gets fixed.) So, that means no pictures in the blog till it gets fixed. That is all.

------------------

Calendar: Pre-Thanksgiving! Get on the treadmill and lose forty pounds, you'll be gaining sixty tomorrow.

-In which we look at the calendar-

Everyday is a holiday when I say it is! From now on, I'll be posting the date, as well as a description of what we're celebrating and why you should take notice.

Today's entry is a bit of a double whammy, because not only is it the first day of the calendar, it's also Caturday.

Saturday, November 17

Caturday:"IZ CATURDAY?" Yes, iz Caturday. Note: I'll be celebrating Caturday every Saturday, but since there are so many Saturday's in a year, I'll only mention Caturday in today's Calendar.

-----------------

And now, for the cats.

More later.

-In which we explore inevitable doom-

You've heard it before. "Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo are gonna die!i!i111!" But you've never belived it. Why would you? All the systems were selling just fine. There were good games available for every price range, and everything was going quite swimmingly. That is, until theseventh generation(now, for those of you that can't keep track). I believe that Sony is going the way of the Dreamcast. Here are some examples(with pictures!):when it first came out, the PS3 cost big bucks. Almost 700 dollars, plus 60 dollars for a game, and around 40 for another controller. That's almost 800 dollars.

^Equivalent to half a PS3

Cmpare the PS3's demanding price with the much more affordable Wii, and you can see my point. Nintendo played the game pretty smooth, turning rabid Sony Fanboys("MUST GET PS3!! WII IS TEH SUX!!") to rabid Nintendo Fanboys("MUST GET TEH WII!!! PS3 AND XBOX TEH SUX!! LINK FTW!!!") However, the Wii's innovative approach to control lost a lot of the target demographic, that is, the hardcore gamer.

v Not Hardcore.

v Hardcore!

Naturally, a pearly white console with an odd control scheme and a collection of minigames couldn't possibly appeal to the hardcore gamer. Never mind the fact that it's affordable and adorable, the tough ones called it deplorable. Which is why hardcore gamers waited, patiently, for the release of the PS3. Alas, most were disapointed. Take a look at some signature quotes on the forums and you'll see why. When the long awaited PS3 was released, the masses were less-than-excited. Very few good games, exclusives lost every day, and a hefty price kept the big black brick from greatness.(When you see advertisements for a launch title from last year every day, things aren't good).Which brings me back to the topic at hand:Sony will die, and soon. No, I don't believe they will die from one failed product, I just believe that their console market is coming to a close. They will most likely continue making games, and I'm sure there will be some good ones. However, the PS3, or maybe the PS4, if they're lucky, will be the last. And I'm not an Xbox Wii60 fanboy. Microsoft, and eventually, Nintendo will both follow into that cold, dark abyss that harbors the souls of has been videogame giants.

Just think about it for a second:Sony used to be the top dog. They had two wildly popular consoles, and a fanbase so strong, they could feasibly take over the Earth. But, it seems like they screwed up. Look at the info I've supplied above, and you can see a pattern. Sony is going down, and Microsoft takes over. After a little while, they screw up, make some blunder(The xxXboXxx perhaps?) and fall down as well, making Halo games for the W11.(see, I replaced the i's with 1's to simulate 11! Aren't I smart.) After that, I predict two possible outcomes.

1:Nintendo no longer has any competition and becomes king again.(This is likely, because Microsoft and Sony are likely to take a dive pretty soon)

2: PC's take a quantum leap in gaming and affordability, and consoles are all but extinguished, a pleasent memory for Grandpa. The second option I think is more likely, simply because the PC doesn't become obsolete. When you want a better, more powerful one, you upgrade it. Plus, you can do so much more with it. With a console, after five or six years, you need a new, sleeker one that doesn't even gurantee backwards compatibility.

And with that, I thank you for reading,or skimming, and promise I'll bring the funny soon and not bore you with something thought provoking.
