I usually get asked “which anti-virus do you recommend?” And to that I answer fuck it, just use AVG. The main reason for this is because it’s free, and it doesn’t take up too much resources. That said, I don’t use AVG, nor do I have any background scanning anti-virus. The reason for this is that I want my computer to run as smoothly as it can. I just run a virus check every so often but it usually ends up the same, zero viruses.

Now, there are two evil giants in this business that you have probably heard about, Norton and McAfee. Both of these are subscription based, meaning you have to buy a new one every year. So how is that fair? You buy Norton 2007 and then in 2008 you have to get a new one. 50 bucks a year for virus protection? Hell, that sure is a waste of money.

The second thing wrong with Norton is as I explained before. It tries to be a million different things. Fails at all of them, but in the same time still manages to slow your computer down at about 100%.

Anti-viruses are stupid all together since they usually don’t delete the threat and instead just put it in a locked, hidden folder somewhere in your C:/. They try and get around this by saying “its quarantined.” Well what good is that? That is like quarantining a person with SARS but not actually curing it.

Best Buy and Future Shop try to market these anti-virus solutions as “essentials” when you buy a computer from them. Oh sure, mention that a virus can break your computer but don’t mention how the anti-virus will slow you down. A quick Google search for “Norton Sucks” will get you more opinions from others.

What do I have to say about this whole thing? Don’t waste your money, get a free anti-virus instead.

Yesterday I was at the movies, the movie opened the day before so I thought to get there early in order to good seats. It’s a good thing I did that because when I got there about 45 mins early there was already a line. After waiting, people were finally let into the theatre. So I sat there, talking with my friends and watching the stupid pre-commercials.

It didn’t get bad until the movie started at 10:20. It was then that the trailers started the smart people were already there and had good seats.When the movie actually started were people were going up to the TOP and asking if seats were taken. If the seat WASN’T taken, someone would have filled it, 20 minutes ago.

I just don’t understand what goes through a person’s mind at that time. The start time of the movie says “10:20″ so why don’t the people show up at that time, or before. It’s opening weekend there’s going to be a lot of people there to watch it. So they come at say “10:40″ expecting to get good seats. I’m sorry but that just isn’t going to happen, when you are late there’s going to be consequences, having a shitty seat is one of them.

Now, to some of you this might be a bit obvious. But to some of my other friends (Polish friends) you need to realize that Poland is a pretty shitty country.

I have been in several arguements about Poland being the greatest country ever.
-Poland didn’t invent anything interesting recently
-Not all Polish chicks are hot (this can be said about any culture, culture doesn’t influence looks at all)
-Poland is old, needs a lot of improvement
-The language flows together so everything sounds like one word, it get’s confusing if you don’t know the language that well.
-The Polish stereotype is fucking retarded. Alcoholic, lazy, poor people don’t really scream out hire me.
-Being Polish does not make you immune to alcohol.

Why the sudden hate for Poland?
I haven’t lived there for over 15 years and they fucking drafted me for the military. Great job guys, great job.

So in the GTA we have had a recent drop in gas prices. But for the last week we were up to 139.9 per litre. Why? Because damn analysts have to “predict” something and then it happens. Gas companies then raise the prices because they can get away with it. I remember back in April or so they expected gas prices to reach 200 per litre. Oh? That didn’t happen!

Theorists in general are a pain in the ass to be honest. I am tired of hearing about doomsday theories. The world isn’t going to end in 2012, the world isn’t going to explode because of a large hadron collider. There isn’t going to be any gay rapture that will kill all the sinners. No matter what the theory is, and no matter how stupid it sounds people buy into it.

With Rock Band 2 just released on the 360, I thought it would be a perfect time to rant about it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun game. However the fanbase of it are complete idiots.

The first thing I am going to talk about is how people “discover” bands through Rock Band, and then become large fans of the band like that. They then go into the forums and say “x is the greatest band ever.” Well, you are kind of late there, I know about x long before you did and I already knew they were a great band. Later, when I mention I like the band people assume that I play Rock Band and discovered the band like that. The tracklist in the game isn’t to make people discover bands, it’s to make people who like the band buy the game. The last thing I want is for the fanbase to be flooded with a bunch of people who don’t know two shits about music.

Next thing is Guitar Hero Aerosmith, slightly related to Rock Band. Now, WHY THE FUCK DID AEROSMITH GET A GUITAR HERO GAME. THE GUITARIST OF AEROSMITH ISN’T THAT GOOD ANYWAYS! They are an alright band because of the vocals are pretty good. However, it’s called GUITAR HERO, on Rock Band this would be alright I suppose. Now, I still think it’s retarded to base a whole game on one band.

Final thing is people who say Guitar Hero is copying Rock Band by adding microphones/drums. Uhhh? WTF!?!?!? Guitar Hero was out before Rock Band, it brought the idea of instrument base rhythm based games to the mass public. Therefore wouldn’t Rock Band have copied Guitar Hero? By your definition yes, but Rock Band was made by the former Guitar Hero team so it is not copied. Just calm down and let Guitar Hero do it’s thing.
