Long Live the Revolution, Comrade!

Today, on my way to school I saw this cute little USSR child-soldier costume in the window of a local clothing store for kids. n_n Soooo cuuute~!

Today we had a couple of spokesmen for famous companies at our school, but I only stuck around to hear two of them. The first one was a guy from FunCom, explaining to us that Age of Conan does not suck, and the 38 people who are still around to play it after they fucked it up majorly at launch, really enjoys the game.

The second guy was from IBM, and he was talking about how awesome Second Life and other virtual worlds are. For those of you who don't know Second Life, you can read about it here.

Apparently, IBM figured it would be a good idea to set up a headquarter in a "real life simulator" full of furries and flying, burning animal-penises. (No, seriously.)

Why Zombies > Vampires

2009-02-05T16:17:00.003+01:00

Since I'm a student at Hogwarts School For Nerds, Geeks & All Things Magical, I feel I should offer my views on one of the more important and serious historic conflicts: the never-ending vampire VS: zombie debate.

Vampires are dark, mysterious, seductive, evil, and emo-goth. They've got their fangs, they drink blood, and the girls love them. Literature and movies has spawned many famous vampire characters, such as Dracula, Caine, Lestat, Alucard, Selene, etc. The list goes on and on.

Zombies on the other hand, are usually dumb as dead wood, slow, clumsy, and they smell bad. They shamble around, they eat peoples brains, and by doing so they multiply faster than bunnies in heat. Famous zombies includes.... hmm... well, Stubbs the Zombie, I guess. .-.;

If I had to choose one of them, though, I'd pick zombies over vampires any day. Vampires are kind of like Superman, in a way. Overpowered, imbalanced, and just too "perfect". Especially that Edward Cullen guy. >_o If a vampire decides to target a human, the human is usually pretty much screwed. Not that vampires has to kill anyone after sucking their blood, they just use their jedi mind-powers to erase the memory from the victim's mind, which is why we have so few reports on vampire attacks these days.

Zombies on the other hand actually gives people a chance. Sure, they don't really play fair either, seeing as they always bring hundreds of their friends to hunt down just a couple of surviving humans, but at least they can be defeated. Especially if you happen to carry a fully loaded boomstick.

Zombies are also very honest with you, and never really tries to hide what they are - a bunch of walking, brain-eating corpses. Unlike vampires who tricks people into believing they are humans, and then - chomp! (...As if they didn't have enough powers already. o-o) Zombies don't discriminate against other species - zombie dogs are quite common, and there have been cases of zombie cows and rats as well. When did you last hear about a vampire cow? ...Yeah, thought so.

And more importantly, zombies aren't as angsty and mopey as vampires are, and they never cause drama. "Sob sob, I can live forever and I have super powers and shit, but now I'm in love with my food! SO SAD NOW!" *angst angst* Plus, if you're going to watch a movie about living dead people anyway, they might as well look the part, right? n_n ~♥

Musicfags on YouTube

The comment-box on YouTube have always been a great source of entertainment.

Whether you use it to give and receive constructive criticism, have heated debates with other members, troll people, be troll'd yourself, or spam ads for Live Webcam Stripshows and phishing sites, it never leaves you bored.

And while most videos receives it's fair share of praise and poo through comments, there's one group of people I feel particularly sorry for:

...The amateur musicians.

We all know the internet can be an unforgiving place, but people wanting to show others their playing skills are in for a particularly rough ride.

You see, on YouTube... Everyone who bothers to post comments on music home videos that does not contain:

A) A (cute) girl playing an instrument
B) Serious l33t skillz

...is most likely out to boost his own ego by telling n00b musicians how much they suck. Yes, in other words - the music community on YouTube, is very much like PvP in MMORPGs.

Now, to be fair - a lot of times, the people who receive a lot of bad comments actually do suck. But more often than not, they've also stated in their video-descriptions that they:

1) Haven't been playing for very long
2) They are 12 years old.

But most of the time, they are just people with completely average skills, which makes them the vast majority of people playing instruments, I suppose.

Unfortunately for them, YouTube just so happens to be the place where all the talented musicians hang out.

Yes, if Bach, Mozart and Beethoven had been alive today, they would probably be on YouTube too, posting words of wisdom and inspiration such as:

"guess you can sell that bass and buy more burgers though. horrible stuff"
-haandry

"Bass sucks dude. Play a real guitar!"
-muel333

"plz stop posting such videos and fucking more songs... improve ur hand movements while changing ur chords n ur strumming is pathetic... try some good rythm..."
-shaddy12

I've considered posting covers before, but I don't think my ego would be able to take five pages of "constructive criticism" such as this. o-o

Thank you YouTube!

TeaPot Revenge

2009-02-02T20:06:00.010+01:00

So, last night I set my alarm clock for 6:30 AM, wanting to get up in time to go to class. But then I remembered, we always have mondays off, so I could have slept in today. Oh well.

I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to just gussy up and have breakfast, but I was out of my breakfast tea, so I had to settle for some Twinings "organic" black tea that tastes like the manure it was fertilized with and stains your teeth brown. Mmmmh~♥ ...I had three cups.

The downside with black tea though, is that you have to pre-heat the cup before you pour the water in the cup, or boil the tea in the kettle in order to get the full flavor out of the leaves. But, in this case, I'm not really sure if I want the full flavor.

Twinings Classics Organic Tea - If you see it, don't buy it.

Imma rate this shit 2/5 T-cups, yo. >:c

And my Sex Pot order arrived! :D ...Two days ago. I was just too lazy to snap a picture, but here it is.

The first post in a blog is always a bitch to write. And because I hate introductions, I'll just skip them and get started right away.

Today is a Sunday, and depending on where you might reside, it means everything is closed. In other words, there's nothing much to do but sit around and keep yourself amused, or starve to death if your fridge is empty and you forgot to restock earlier that week. And since I did remember to restock (for once), I can actually spend some time starting this blog I've always wanted to write, instead of running around in the snow, hunting mammoths and polar bears to keep myself fed.

In this blog, I'll just post a bit about everything as I go along, i don't really have a plan yet. I promise you though, that this will be the bestest, incrediblest and awesomest blog I've ever written (which it already is, seeing as it's my first one), so stay tuned for moar!
