Initial Observations on Fallout 3: Premature Ejacufail
Posted in games, wtf on October 28, 2008 | 9 Comments »
I’ve played Fallout 3 for about 8 hours now, and my review so far is that it is hideous. There are quite a few borderline-dealbreaker issues that I have with it, and I really have to search for some positives. I had such high hopes for this game, but the clunky functions are [...]
Dearth of Posts Potentially Upcoming

Although the fore-scheduled “random images” will still appear, I may be out of commission for a bit as I begin playing Fallout 3 that comes out today.
I will only be paying $28 and change for it — because I’ve gotten a bunch of free Circuit City gift cards from reading MyPoints emails and [...]
Mass Effect Main Story Serialization – Master List
Posted in games, mass effect, speed runs, video, video games, youtube on October 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This is a master list of all parts of my Mass Effect Serialization project, which tells the story of Mass Effect (a game by Bioware) through edited-together cut-scenes and conversation moments with a minimum of side-quests and actual gameplay. The entire project too many hours to complete: from video capturing (with a Dazzle 80 [...]
Debunking Common Truths: Religion Creates War
Posted in debunking common truths, utter tragedy, words on October 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
“Let’s disregard religion as a legitimate pursuit — just think of how many wars were fought because of it!”
This may seem like a valid argument, but almost exclusively in an anti-religious context. Taking a step back, it’s actually an overgeneralizaiton of the causes for war: wars were also almost completely fought over land ownership, [...]

Uh.. what? Put a shoe on your head?

I was browsing 4chan, my latest net addiction, when a suggestion was made to go to a certain account hosted on blogtv.com due to the presence of overt cuties of the UK persuasion. They were responding to comments on their webcam, and one suggestion from a flood of new commenters remarked, “put a shoe on [...]

Debunking Forwards: Is Snopes Unreliable?
Posted in debunking forwards on October 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I just received a funny email forward from both my father and grandfather, to whom I both often link to Snopes articles for debunking things. I think in this case, as I usually do, that linking to a Snopes article to debunk the falsity of a Snopes-reliability accusation would be pretty dumb, so here’s [...]

Another Reason Not To Stand in the Doorway
Posted in heads up, video, wtf on October 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This video shows a dude who is about to parachute from a plane standing at the threshold — but the wind catches his parachute and deploys it prematurely, and ends up getting caught on one of the tail wings and dragged (as it were) for a while before he finally detatches it and deploys the [...]
Gorgeous Array of Probe Photos for Enceladus
Posted in artsy, images, science, travel, wiki-ref on October 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This article is a series of remarkably clear photographs showing intricate details for one of Saturn’s moons, Enceladus.
A friend of mine has a perpetually unfinished sci-fi tale involving a fleeing spaceship taking refuge on a Saturn/Jupiter moon. Shall I send this link to him to remind him that it’s still not completed? heh
