So how long does it take for a stupid fad to die out? Apparently about 2 years. I am finally able to go around to stores and see the Wii in stock everywhere. Hooray, this has been my life dream forever, now I can actually buy one without camping out in front of the store. However, I am not going to do that.

So why is it that I can find the Wii in stores now, well it’s two reasons. 1) Every mom already bought one for their kid. 2) People are seeing that there are NO GAMES coming out for it. By NO GAMES, I mean worse than 360′s 2009 lineup. There is obviously some unannounced games such as the next Mario or the next Zelda, but who knows how those games will even play like.

Saturday Night Live recently did a skit on a father playing Wario: Shake It, and the father being good at it because of masturbation. I had a nice chuckle at the skit but it does bring up a great point: there are a large number of Wii games that you just shake the controller randomly. There is very little originality when making a Wii game now. You just have to make a minigame collection and you will make millions for a low investment of time and money.

The decrease in Wii sales makes it seem like people are finally seeing the Wii for what it is, a gimmick. It might be a fun console to play for 20 minutes a month, but the lasting appeal is really nothing. Are people finally going to stop supporting shitty minigame collections and stop buying crappy accessories? Hopefully, so Nintendo can go back to what it used to be good at. Making games. (Wii Fit, Wii Music are not games)

Ah Valentine’s Day, a time for love and receiving shitty gifts. Yes, for some reason people go out and buy these Valentine’s Day chocolates. You get these heart shaped boxes (hahaha, Kurt Cobian is dead) that has an assortment of chocolates. The problem with the chocolates is that there is only one good flavour, and you usually go through all the other flavours in order to find the good one.

So please, if you get me chocolates for Valentine’s Day make sure it’s in a long yellow wrappper with the name MR. BIG on it.

Game shows are cool and all, they make you want to play them and win the prize for yourself. But there is one show that pisses me off. It’s known as “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” and the answer is yes I am, let’s see a 10 year old understand the story line to Metal Gear Solid.

Now if I am smarter than a 5th grader why don’t I go to the show myself? Well it is because the kids know a bunch of trivial shit with is not needed in life, ever. Oh so the kids know what the capitol of Ohio is? Well good for you, get a fucking cookie. Give me an English test and I will will that prize.

Yes, that was a short blog post. But I am sick as hell and having a bad week. But there’s more blog goodness coming later. Including a post about a certain February Holiday…

So all of us probably heard the song “All Summer Long” by now. You should have, it was a huge success and sold a shit ton. Surely you recognized riffs from Sweet Home Alabama, and maybe you do know the song Werewolves of London. Kid Rock managed to combine these two songs into one, and make profit for himself.

Oh highschool, how happy I am that I am no longer in it. All those girls who try to be cute by acting “random.” Most commonly these girls watch Spongebob and think it’s cool to act stupid by yelling cheese in the middle of a sentence. Sounds like a shitty version of the tourettes if you ask me. It is also not random if you keep repeating yourself. As yelling “grilled cheese sandwich” everyday in class is not random at all.

Now, I’ve been called random before because I say the most bizarre things ever. But how does that make me random? I would define it as saying something bizarre.

So it’s time for an English lesson:

Cases to use random:
The winner of the contest will be selected at random.
The program chooses a number at random.
x is equal to a random variable.

Cases not to use random:
The party was random.
You’re random
I’m random

So what did we learn today? Random is not a personality. Go back to emo.
