Welll...good luck with that...

Ok, My friend is nice and all, but he's kind of, um.. delusional. I'll tell you what I mean:

He wants to start a video game company (mind you he doesn't know the difference between RAM and HD space) and open up a shop (being only 14 years old, he can't do ANY of this stuff) and sell his games. Then he will create a multi-national corporation, and rule the gaming world. I keep telling him that he can't do it, he doesn't get computers. He thinks programming ANYTHING is as easy as Gamemaker (www.gamemaker.nl)! This is rather alarming to a newbie programmer like me, who knows only enough c++ to fill up a business card. It's, dumb.
And he defies all logic I put before him! It sucks! But, I guess I'll let him dream until he implodes from lack of common sense. That's what happened to G.W. Bush when he proposed the tax cut for the rich.

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Ok, I was supposed to post a game review here, but I'm too upset. Look at this article I found on Megagames' site (www.megagames.com):

"Study says gamers violent potheads

DescriptionNew research seems to suggest that violent video games make it more likely that players will engage in violent behavior and drug abuse than non-violent video games. A study carried out by Dr Sonya Brady, of the University of California San Francisco, and Professor Karen Matthews, of the University of Pittsburgh on 100 undergraduate males aged between 18 to 21 has revealed some interesting findings. Participants were asked to play a game that involved taking homework to school on time or another game featuring violent beatings with a baseball bat. Those who played the violent game were more likely to interpret the behavior of others towards them as hostile. You're kind of on the lookout for other people being rude to you, Dr Brady said. The same study also examined participant attitudes regarding marijuana and alcohol use and appears to suggest that the young men that played the violent game were more likely to consider the consumption of such drugs as acceptable. What this study suggests is that they might increase any type of risk-taking behaviour, said Dr. Brady. This study is not what you may consider definitive as the sample was small, participants did not try both games and we are not clear on what games were used and their real world relevance. The study does however, raise some interesting questions regarding the effect of gaming, questions which need to be addressed in similar studies and in fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) studies which may tell us exactly how gaming may affect brain chemistry."

Now, this type of thinking could mess with the gaming world forever! I won't stand for it! If you agree with this article, NEVER go near a Video store...Unless you like the taste of your own blood ("video games made me say that" heehee). So please help the gamers who aren't psychotic overdosers out and support the cause! Fight for your right! And by the way, who would play a game about getting your homework in on time?!

Mystical burrito man, do the puppets with the CIA

Woah, with all this wiretapping nonsense, me and my friend have laugin' our butts off! We had a long conversation over the phone yesterday about what it would be like if a guy from the CIA Was listening in to our conversations. We do not have normal senses of humor, but oh well. Anyway it starts with him laughing at our conversations. Then he was supposed to make a DVD of the conversations and set it to puppets (I liked the idea...) So then we started talking about Mexico, and he did a surfer dude impression and said: "Dude, when I like, got to Mexico, i'm going to get a burrito so I can talk to the locals" And I thought: "WTF! He's going to use a burrito as a translater?" So we examined what it would be like if the UN used food as translation devices. We the thought about the wiretapping man, and what he was doing. He was probably a burrito in disguise! So we asked the mystical burrito man if he could do something with the media, such as stop the stuff we don't like in it. So that filled up about 2 hours. So remember, next time you call someone on the phone, use your burrito and put the puppets down. *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
