If there is one thing that pisses me off about environmentalists, it’s how they are saying global warming is going to kill us all. Pollution from cars apparently causes damage to the ozone layer, which makes the sun rays stronger. Or so they say.

People complain about this mostly in the summer, when it is hot out. Who could blame them, in the winter it is freezing cold. Now that doesn’t make sense to blame global warming. If global warming was real wouldn’t the winters be hot too? I have commonly asked that question to people who talk to me about global warming. The answer I get is “global warming causes an ice age.” What the fuck? Making the winter cold doesn’t mean it’s an ice age.

Speaking of an ice age, apparently global warming is going to cause the polar ice caps to melt and spawn an ice age. Oh? Is that how the last ice age started? By having people polluting our environment? I think not. The “rise” in average temperature is 0.1 degrees Celsius per year. If that was man made, the increase in average temperature would be dynamic, and not static. The earth heating up and then cooling down is a natural event. Just like the day going into night, and the seasons alternating.

So does that mean we are going to get another ice age? There is a chance, however it will not happen for a LONG time, we’ll all be dead anyways. However, we can rest easy knowing that we are not the cause of the rise in temperature.

PS: I am not a scientist, nor do I study it in school, I am just using history as an example.

So as an internet addict I obviously have a Facebook.

Well today I went on to see a drastic change. That’s right, the old layout we all know and love has turned into something new. Is this bad? No! In the past few weeks I have seen a countless number of friends joining groups that claim to “hate the new Facebook.” However, recently it sparked up again due to the mandatory change.

Now, why do people hate this new layout? They claim that it takes more clicks to post on some one’s wall.
1) If you need to message someone quickly, use the chat.
2) It sure fucking beats scrolling through over 9000 applications that do jackshit.
3) You are just not used to the new layout, give it some time.
4) The filtering systems are fucking great, I love them.

To be honest, I didn’t like the new layout at first, but I gave it another shot and fair enough I liked it. It’s natural to hate change, for example I am able to navigate my house in the dark, with my eyes closed. However if I were to move and “upgrade” to a better home I will probably be hitting walls all the time if I were to do that. I can assure you that the new Facebook is better, you just have to get used to it.

While on the topic of Facebook, don’t fucking send my applications for shit that’s retarded. I don’t want to know what kind of soccer player I am, I don’t want to play Boggle, I don’t want to beat your score in Dopewars. You’d be lucking enough if I still want to post on your wall after that. Granted some applications do it automatically, but damn do you honestly need those applications anyways?

Another thing I hate to see is these groups on Facebook that are supposed to be events. Holy shit, it’s not hard to create an event.

“A pickup truck and a car collided in the westbound collectors lanes around
4:45am, according to authorities, who are trying to determine which one of the
vehicles was going the wrong way on the thoroughfare.”

A snippet from today’s news, notice the stupidity. I find it really awesome how
1) Someone is driving the wrong way, don’t you think that you’re going to dodge them?
2) In order to get on the highway going the other way you have to do some awkward ass turn.

The conclusion, this was definitely not an accident, someone wanted to kill himself. If it was an accident, then thank god that they are dead and not on the road anymore.

Edit: It seems the crash was due to the driver of the pickup truck being drunk. Funny. But my point is still valid, when you see a car coming toward you, you better fucking get out of the way right?

Contrary to the title of the blog, I do not suck. What sucks is Nintendos marketing strategy this generation. Now, if it is so bad, then how come they are selling millions of Wiis? Well, it’s because people are retarded and they buy into the promises Nintendo gives them.

To start off, Nintendo decided that they won’t compete in a graphical sense to the Xbox 360 or PS3. It’s a shame too, I would have enjoyed some great looking games such as Zelda but instead I basically got the shame shit that was on the Gamecube. While graphics aren’t as important as game play I expect a game in this day and age to have great graphics. But at least the Wii has great game play right? Wrong! The majority of games on the Wii have gotten below 5.0/10. Companies saw the success of Wii Sports and thought that releasing minigames will get them rich. It does, but the games suck ass. I am tired of seeing minigame compilations on the Wii, there are too many of them. I want a game with a story line, depth, and etc. The best games that I have played on the Wii were ports, Twilight Princess, Okami, Resident Evil 4. What does that say about the Wii? I also enjoyed the games on the original console they were on. A lot of developers are pointlessly using the Wiimote functionalities. I do not want to jack off my controller in order to charge my sword. Also, whenever possible I use the GC controller instead of the Wiimote.

The price point of the Wii was great at first, it was the cheapest “next-gen” console, but over time the other companies have had a decent amount of price drops now and the Xbox 360 is actually cheaper than the Wii (at the time I am writing this.) Another thing is how bad the value of it is, you don’t have a Ethernet port (unless you buy it as an addon) you only have 512MB of storage, and it doesn’t play DVDs (unless you hack it.) Come on Nintendo, drop the price on the Wii please.

Now I know what you are saying “Wii is fun” and I respond is, no it’s not. What is fun? “Activities that are enjoyable or amusing” I find PC gaming fun, I find the PS3 fun, I do not find the Wii fun. If you find flapping your arms around fun, be my guest. Nintendo definitely didn’t appeal to the hardcore market because gamers do not want to exercise.”It’s fun at parties” I hear a lot, too bad when I go to parties the person often has 2 Wiimotes and there is a wait on who plays next. I don’t have a Wiimote to bring to a friends house, and I am not spending around 60 bucks on one. Hell, if I want to play with others I play online, speaking of online. The Wii online and friends system is completely shit. It took Nintendo a few months to implement the online system as well.

Next I will cover the pointless accessories, you probably know I already hate accessories because of my earlier blog post. For the Wii it is also overkill. You see sword holders, wheels, boxing gloves and the list goes on. These are usually around 20 bucks. But your parents will just buy them for you right? I have no idea why a person would buy this, probably to make the game feel more real right? Just as playing Guitar Hero seems like you are playing a real guitar right? Speaking of accessories why the hell do I have to plug in the Classic Controller to the Wiimote, can’t it connect to the Wii itself? Apparently not.

The majority of people who own a Wii are little children who’s mom bought it for them. Stood in line for hours just to make their little son happy. Motherfucker, the system launched in November it was cold out and your mom fucking stood outside for you. You should be kissing your moms ass. If you disagree with the majority of Wii owners being kids, explain why around 70% of Wii games are marketed to kids? Shitty games based on shitty movies? Nintendo totally ignored the hardcore gamer. Their definition of a hardcore game is Animal Crossing. FUCKING ANIMAL CROSSING! To quote them “How can you feel left out you got Animal Crossing”

TLDR:
Wii has weak(wii-k) specs
Wii is now overpriced
Wii is not for gamers
Wii has too much accessories
Flapping your arms around is not fun.

You’ve all seen it. People owning carrying cases for their phone so that it doesn’t get scratched. Or those covers they place over them. Okay seriously what the hell is the point of them? If you bought a “stylish” phone wouldn’t you love to show off how nice it looks? Looks like most people think no. What the hell is the point of protecting it from scratches if you are always going to have it in that case? I am not going to say throw your phone in a rock tumbler and wait seven hours. But your phone should be designed to endure the day to day tasks.

I was told that using a car analogy will get people to understand what the hell I’m talking about some of the time. It’s like buying a Porsche and changing the body of it to be that of a Honda Element. Sure, you have a Porsche, but it looks like shit.

It’s funny how companies feast on people like you. Especially the iPod market. If you are rich enough to afford an iPhone chances are you have seen the thousands of accessories available for it. Hell, I had an iPod, but a case for it will just increase the size of it. Apple worked hard to make it as small as it is, the last thing I need is for it to be bigger. I used to keep my PSP in a large case. Not being able to carry it in my pocket I was forced to hold it. After saying “fuck it” I started carrying my PSP more places and getting much more use out of it.

I guess what I have to say is fuck pointless accessories. Certain things are useful such as headphones or an extra mouse but I don’t need a large carrying case for something that was MEANT to fit in my pocket but now can’t. I also don’t need to use plastic to protect my phone if I am never going to look at the actual phone.
