I Did It!!

I bought a PS3. Yes, that's right, a PS3. To make things worse, I only bought it for one game. Little Big Planet - and worse yet? I can't play it until Christmas.

What an unfulfulling purchase.

And This is still cute

Random weekend thoughts

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and I know you both have really missed me. Truth is I have either been swamped at work, or playing Fallout 3….What a game. I’m just going to blog about random crap, so bear with me.

This weekend was as normal as it could be, other than my puppy (almost) swallowing a pair of tweezers. It freaked me out so much. My wife stuck her hand down his throat and he coughed it up, but wow, that could have been quite severe (and expensive). We have now combed the entire floor for small metal objects. It still worries me when we leave him alone.

I took the last of my three-Monday-vacation yesterday and logged some serious Fallout time. I’m 26 hours into it now, and am just starting to get some quests done. This game is already a 360 classic for me right up there with Bioshock and Halo and I’m not even done.

Well, I have been assimilated to the PS3 side against my will. Char has taken it upon herself to add me to 2old2resist in anticipation of my PS3 and Little Big Planet purchase. I feel so used. *shrugs* oh well, could be worse, I could have been added to a WoW clan

Have I mentioned that I am cursed? In the two thousand and some odd Halo 3 games that I’ve played, I have been unable to get a non-griffball running riot (15 kills in a row). I pride myself at not dieing a lot and because of that do get quite a few killing frenzies (10 kills in a row). Most of the time it is my fault that I don't get 15. I get to 14, and I know this because I am counting (which is a bad thing), and then I see someone and just get tunnel vision. This doesn’t usually yield the kill and I get all pissed. Last night was a perfect example: Valhalla slayer and we spawned waterfall base (which is the better side, imo). I grab a BR and head to laser top-mid. I’m surprised that there isn’t any resistance there since that is usually the first battle in the game. I grab the laser and go to town. I basically just hung out top-mid the whole game, and nobody got past me. I got the killing frenzy and thought, “ok, pace yourself, just be patient”. I got a double on a warty with the laser, and then took down a banshee…13….Then I team shot a guy jumping out the middle cannon……14…..ok, at this point, my heart was pounding in anticipation for the running riot, but I remained calm and waited, then it finally happened: A guy was wandering around in the creek with no shields, I looked around and no one was there to ambush me. I zoomed in, aimed and……BAM. “PwnedUrMom sniped you”……dammit!!! I’m cursed forever.

I read an interesting article recently about the Toyota Prius Hybrid and how it is actually more damaging to the environment than a regular car. Now, as a caveat, they are more economical than regular cars if you are only concerned with your own pocketbook, but if the reason for getting one is for the greater good, then read on. The batteries in these cars are made with nickel (among other materials). The nickel is mined in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada (what a shithole) and shipped on a huge freighter to Europe where it is refined into a workable material. Then it’s off to china to be made into batteries. From there they would be sent to Japan for assembly. Once assembled, are shipped to the dealers. For North America, that means the car circumnavigates the globe in its production. You can read the article here.

……..and I leave you with the cutest thing I have seen in ages.

You’re welcome.

Meet the 'Tards ep. 3: "The Me Edition"

Yep, my turn. But this time, my fellow clannies got to bombard me with questions. Inside I open my heart and show the world my inner soul. It's quite touching.

Thanks again to MutusLetum for putting this together.

CNN 'Hologram' Parody

For everyone who saw the disgusting display of shitty technology that CNN brought to TV. This is exactly what we were all thinking.

Crazy-ass Canadians

If this face wasn't enough to scare the shit out of you, the following will.

Mark Twitchell (in the photo) lured a man to an Edmonton, Alberta garage by posing as a female on a dating site. He then proceeded to kill and dismember his body, "Dexter style". Turns out that this guy is an independant movie producer and he had a script written with this exact scenario in it. When the victim, Brian Atlinger (whom a co-worker went to high school with) showed up for some hot sex-action (or a confrontation with Chris Hansen), Mr. Twitchell was wearing a black and gold hockey mask (Jason style).

Oddly, a few weeks earlier, neighbours saw a man running from the garage with another man chasing in a hockey mask. Guess they just thought it was a road hockey game. It is Canada!

So, now you can't ride a grayhound OR go to a complete stranger's house after meeting them brieflyonline? What a country.
