Random Ass Rants (dead)

Haha, I hacked you! STFU.

2009-07-20T23:54:00.000-07:00

You know what really pisses me off? When I see someone's AIM or Facebook status and it says something like, "Hey this is Bob hacking Sally's account. Give me a holla!" It's like, are you fucking kidding me? You think you fucking hacked their account because they left their account logged in on their computer and left the room to go do something, giving you a chance to get on and snoop around on their account? Haha, that's not hacking, that's bullshit. And it's usually those ghetto ass kids who think they're hot shit that do it. "Yo nigga i hakked dis niggaz account, he mad stupid." Shut the fuck up before before I pull a fast one on you and swipe your credit card info, you dumb fuck, damn.

Also related to the situation are the notorious, "I'm gay," or "I like to suck dick," statuses on Facebook. Yeah, if you ever leave your Facebook account logged in and leave to do something with friends nearby, they'll most definitely post some gay ass status on your account. It's just fucking pointless. It was probably funny the first time I saw it, but after that it was like, "Wow, how original." If you're going to do it, at least make it creative because the "I'm gay" line is so fucking overused and pointless. And if your friends actually think you're gay because of a Facebook status, you need to get some new friends, ASAP.

Free Xbox Live

2009-07-19T11:12:00.000-07:00

Want to know how I get free Xbox Live 1 Month membership codes? Of course you do, who doesn't? I meant to post this up a while ago, but I've been lazy as fuck. Well, here it is now, so have fun.

I found a site that rewards you to do offers online. It's called Rewards1.com. It basically works like this, you complete offers for them and they give you points for the offers. You can then use those points to get free things, like free Xbox Live membership codes. You can get other things too, like Microsoft Points and even physical items, like an Xbox 360 or PS3 console, but those require more time and effort to obtain. The Xbox Live 1 Month codes are probably the cheapest thing on their website, and thus the fastest to get.

This is how I got my Xbox Live 1 Month code: I joined the site, made another email(because you'll be getting a lot of spam from the offers, over 500 emails a day at times), spent about two hours filling up offers with fake addresses and fake personal information and then confirming any emails that required me to, and then ordered my free Xbox Live 1 Month code. Each offer gives you about 0.25 - 1.0 points, and on average there's a lot of 0.5 point offers that you can easily get done. When I did it, Xbox Live 1 Month cost 8.0 points to order, but now it went up to 9.0 points (because Microsoft discontinued making 1 Month Live codes a few weeks ago). Either way, if you have about two hours to spend of your day or if you're one of those little kids with no jobs that everyone hates on Xbox, then this will probably be your best bet for free Xbox Live codes. Your order is processed within 0-3 days, and if you don't get it emailed to you within then, just email them and they'll send it to you. I emailed them the fourth day asking about it, and I got an email an hour later with my code, so it's all good.

Here's the link to their site, have fun: Rewards1.com

And if you want proof, here's a picture of the email and the website after I got my first free Xbox Live 1 Month code. I blocked out the code though, but I've already used it up (like I said, I meant to post this guide a long while ago).

PSP for Nude Pics

2009-07-14T09:22:00.000-07:00

I was bored, so I decided to fuck with people on craigslist.

Here's the original ad:
"I'm looking for a working psp with at least 1 game, charger and in good condition. I'm trading a blue ds lite (like new) with 7 games for the psp."

Here's the email convo:

I have the white darth vader psp. I have GTA Liberty City stories for it along with the charger. I will trade it for your DS Lite only if you throw in a picture of your mom posing explicitly. And why the fuck would I trade you my psp for 7 psp games? That's pointless.

Thanks,
Jo Chung

You're pathetic kid, first off you didn't even read my ad right. learn to comprehend shit before running that little mouth of yours. You have no life if you respond to craigslist ads just to waste time out of your life accomplishing nothing. grow a dick and wack off to porn little boy. no one cares if you die, seriously. go look at your mom naked and then fantasize about her like you always do k? k.

Thanks,
The person that owned you

If you send me a picture of yourself with a sign saying, "I'm sorry Jo Chung," written in a cute font with a heart or two on it, I'll reconsider the offer and might even throw in a free pair of psp earphones and a white psp strap as well.

Thanks,
Jo Chung

McDonald's Monopoly

2009-07-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

Alright, so this is a pretty old piece of shit experiment I did last year (2008) when the McDonald's Monopoly game was going around. If you had the Boardwalk and Park Place piece you would get $1,000,000 in exchange for it. I had the Park Place piece, along with millions of other people out there, the only problem was, now I needed the Boardwalk piece. I already knew I'd never get it, so I thought I'd just fuck around with everyone else that wanted it.

So I went into Photoshop, made my Park Place piece look like a Boardwalk piece (the rare one that nobody has), and posted an ad on Craigslist saying something along the lines of, "I have the Boardwalk piece. I'm selling it for $500,000. Email me if you're interested." And of course I attached my poorly photoshopped Boardwalk piece picture as well. To my surprise, my inbox got spammed with an overload of email from people trying to make a deal with me for the piece. All I wanted was $500k upfront, I didn't want any deals (not that I had the piece anyway, ha).

Anyway, here are many of the emails I saved. Some are boring, some are more interesting, almost all of them are desperate. Some people even emailed me from work, damn. Have fun.

*****@yahoo.com
i'm in california. you're in new york. I have park place, you have boardwalk. lets be real it's 1,000,000 take in to consideration this money will be taxed. if your game piece is for real lets do eachother a favor and split the money. 50/50. we can write it up as a contract. or get a notary. it's a win win. i'm not about greed i just want to pay some bills and maybe a down on a house. lets do this.

*****@cable.comcast.com
I have park place and I am willing to go in together to redeem it. I am willing to split the profit in your favor. I will redeem Parkplace with you to receive 400,000.00 and you would get 600,000.00. We can sign a contract to split the profit this way. I think this would be a perfect opportunity for you and me both.

*****@gmail.com
As you can probably tell, I have park place. If you want 500,000 bucks lets just combine forces.

*****@yahoo.com
is this piece already gone? if not will you be willing to just split profit?

*****@comcast.net
I have Park Place, if interested in a joint-mutually beneficial "merger" of
your ticket and mine to obtain the winnings and split 50/50, please let me

*****@hotmail.com
I am curious as to why you wouldn't want to find Parkplace yourself and claim the prize? You are asking for the $500,000 up front or would you ever consider going in together on the deal and we both would come ahead? There's ways to deal--signed agreements, etc. If interested in working on this with me, as I have Parkplace, please let me know. 50/50 or even 70/30, or whatever. You could come out of it BETTER than $500,000.

*****@aim.com

*****@gmail.com
I'll do it if I can pay AFTER I cashed in. I don't understand why you would sell it.

[I don't understand why I'd give you the piece for free.]

Unfortunately, this was the second batch of emails that I got for the piece. The first batch was funny, but I was too lazy to save it back then. The best email I got (not listed up there) was one saying, "You don't have Boardwalk, because I do."

I hope I wasted your time.

Stickers, Dicks, & Ricers

2009-07-02T09:52:00.000-07:00

Cars, everyone loves cars. They come in all shapes and sizes too, just like dicks, and everyone loves dicks too. Now, a lot of people love to mod their cars, but sometimes it's just way too fucking overdone or shitty. People like to "mod" their dicks too, so-to-speak. We have Viagra, penis-pumps, and all that other shit too. Then there's the piercings and other hardcore shit as well, but how far is too far? We'll see.

First off, let's take a look at a simple car "mod," stickers. Everyone loves to put stickers all over the place because they think it's so badass, especially those bullet hole stickers. If you're driving a shot-up car, you either live in some fucked up terrorist-ridden country, or in some shitty ghetto ass hood. If you live in a white neighborhood, and you have bullet holes on your car, you're a faggot. If your bullet holes are stickers, you deserve to be shot. Here, let me give you guys a visual of what I mean by that:

If your car looks like this:

Then it should end up looking like this:

It's like saying, "Hey, come shoot up my ride so it can look like this for real!" You put bullet holes on your car because you obviously wanted it to look "shot-up," so when it does get shot-up for real, you better not be disappointed. It's like putting bullet hole stickers on your dick; do you really want your dick to look shot-up? I don't. First off it's retarded in both cases, and second off, you're just itching to get shot. Have fun.

Besides the bullet hole stickers, we have an even more common abomination, bumper stickers. They're the like useless ads you find on websites, the waste-of-space little shits that get in your face, but in the end you don't even bother because you don't give a shit. They're flat out annoying and no one gives a shit what your thoughts are, so don't fucking waste your time putting a bumper sticker on your car that says, "I love music," because I don't give a shit. We also have the common, "baby on board" bumper stickers. Seriously, is it like, "Oh shit, he's got a baby on board, I'm going to try extra hard not to get in an accident with him just because of that sticker." Fuck that. What's worse is those fuckers with a barrage of bumper stickers on their car. As if one isn't enough, they have to put their whole life story on the back of their car. No one gives a shit. You should just remove all of them and put one that says, "I'm a faggot, crash me," because that's what I think of when I see that shit on your car.

If your car looks like this, kill yourself.

Lastly, we have the ricers. Ricers are "any oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain." In other words, that shit does not belong on your car. Hey, not all ricers look bad, some are pretty nice, but some people just over fucking do it, and those are the ones I'm ranting about. Ricers are most common within the Asian community, because Asians think it's fucking gangster to have a five foot high spoiler on their car. That shit does not make your car any more aerodynamic, hell, it just adds weight to your car, especially if your shit looks like this:

Hey, this one actually looks pretty good...

...if you want your car to look like a fucking Hot Wheels toy.

Shower Shit

2009-06-30T21:02:00.000-07:00

You know what I hate? I hate it when you're taking a nice shower, and then all of a sudden you feel like you have to take a shit. No, you do have to take a shit. How troublesome. What do you do now? Do you hold it in until after the shower or do you just bust out of the shower and take that crap? You could try to hold it in, but that shit is there, and do you really want to take a dump after you've just cleaned your ass? I don't, that's too annoying.

So now you've hopped out of your shower, and you're sitting on your toilet all wet and shit, taking that crap. What I don't like about this is that the whole toilet's a mess now, and I have to wipe that shit dry afterward. What a pain in the ass. Ah, so you've taken your shit and you feel much better now. Now lies the most important question: do you wipe your ass with toilet paper and hop back into the shower, or do you just get back in the shower with your shit-stained asshole and clean that shit there? Personally, I like to wipe first anyway, you know, I don't wanna touch that shit in the shower, but maybe some people get off to that shit.

P.S. If you get off to that shit, you're fucking gay.

WTF is the song name?

2009-06-16T16:49:00.000-07:00

I hate it when assholes on youtube don't fucking put the song name they used in their video in the video description. Seriously, if you're going to put a song in your video, give some credit and let people know what song it is all at the same time. It's like, let me put this awesome song in the video, but I won't tell anyone what it's called because only I can know. Or maybe it's a possible advertising scheme. You know, every time you want to listen to the song, you have to go watch his video and he'll rake up views for it. Most of the time, the video either sucks or sucks. Either way, it's pretty fucking gay how the song's almost never included. Although, sometimes the user who posted the video posts it as a comment. Now I have to search through fifteen fucking pages spanning hundreds of comments each to find the fucking song name? Seriously, just put it in the fucking video description, asshole.

It's even worse when these assholes disable the comments on videos. Now you either have to send them a private message asking for the song. This will either result in: you getting the song, you getting shitted on for no reason, or no response because the asshole doesn't log on anymore. Great, well now all you have left to do is gather all your friends, show them that video, and hope to god at least someone knows what the fuck that song is called.

P.S. Fuck youtube for disabling songs on videos, you fucking jews.

It's Toh-May-Toh, Assholes

2009-06-16T04:00:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in ages... Anyway, I think I'll change how I do things around here. Instead of trying to think of topics to write about (what I was doing before), I'll just write about every little thing that pisses me off on a day-to-day basis.

With that said, I fucking hate people who pronounce the word "tomato" like this: "toh-mah-toh." It's pronounced "toh-may-toh," and if you can't fucking say it that way, then don't fucking say it at all. Are you trying to sound more intelligent or something? And what really pisses me off are the people that say "toh-mah-toh" and then have the balls to say, "Oh, toh-may-toh, toh-mah-toh, it's all the same!" No, it's not the same, asshole; "toh-may-toh" is the correct way to say it. On a side note, a tomato is a vegetable, fuck the fags that call it a fruit, you fucking fruits.

Temporary Tattoos

2009-02-28T11:19:00.000-08:00

Only in the 90's did temporary tattoos come with the exclusive Klansman tattoo, because wearing a temporary tat of a Klansman on your arm back then was the shit! "It lasts for days," and it's "incredibly realistic!" You know, just in case people didn't notice you have a Klansman on your arm the first time around, they'd have the opportunity to see it again tomorrow! And it's incredibly realistic, so everyone that sees it won't have to second guess themselves about it being a Klansman! Radical!

Crocs

2009-02-21T14:36:00.000-08:00

Crocs have been out for a while now. They started out as the original "beach shoes" pictured above, and now have moved on to take new shapes and sizes, but one thing will always stay the same about them, they look like shit. I never owned a pair of Crocs, but I don't think that would have made any difference in my hatred against them. Crocs are an abomination and they need to be destroyed.

I always thought of Crocs as cheap dollar shoes you buy at a stand near the beach or something, but man was I wrong. I went on the Crocs website to check out the prices. A pair of Crocs costs thirty dollars? What the hell, are you serious? People actually pay thirty dollars for these things. What are they even made of? It looks like its some really cheap ass rubber, or even plastic. And they all come in those bright ass colors too. Why would I pay thirty dollars to wear a pair of bright red plastic abominations on my feet? I wouldn't, and I don't. What a waste of money.

I hate Crocs, and I hate the people that wear them too. They were made to be worn at the beach, but people grew accustomed to wearing them everywhere, and this is unacceptable. I've seen people wear these things almost every where, and every time I see some douchebag with Crocs on, I want to kick him in his crocs, if you know what I mean.

One day I was riding the subway train. Everything is quiet, and everyone keeps to themselves like most of the time. The train doors open and a swarm of businessmen in suits get aboard. A routine occurrence, except this time it was different. This time I noticed something, something that made me want to get up, knock the guys out, and leave the car without words. A businessman walks in train car in his thousand dollar suit, slick shades, briefcase, and he was blabbering about shit on his Bluetooth headset while picking at his Blackberry. He's already a douche for wearing that Bluetooth, but what's even worse, that's right, you guessed it, he had a pair of bright red Crocs on. What the fuck is wrong with you? Just shoot yourself right now before I have to. Red Crocs and a black business suit do not go together; hell, Crocs do not go well with anything, let alone on the subway. Get the fuck out of here, and do not even dare think of leaving your Crocs behind.

What's worse was, he sits down across from me. Now I get to stare at his shitty ass Crocs for the whole ride. It wouldn't have been so bad if his feet didn't smell. Oh yes, one of Crocs' many features, they are "odor-resistant and bacteriostatic." Well, you got that right, all the odor escapes the shoe through the barrage of holes on it and attacks everyone within a six foot radius of the wearer. Crocs not only look fucking ugly as hell, but they make your feet smell too. I've never seen a single person with Crocs who wore wear socks either. Have some fucking decency and wear some fucking socks at least. I don't want to see your ugly ass feet through your ugly ass shoes. "Well why are you looking at his feet in the first place?" Why? Well if his bright red Crocs didn't stick out so damn much I wouldn't have looked down there.

And now, the makers of Crocs have a special new product for douchebags just like the one I mentioned above. Crocs cellphone cases, so you can carry your Blackberry around in style. Fuck that.

Remember kids, say no to Crocs, because if you say yes, I will hunt you down and bust your balls.

Arcades Need An Age Limit

2009-02-20T17:38:00.000-08:00

Okay, you know what really annoys the hell out of me? Kids. No, not kids as in everyday kids. Those are fine. What I'm talking about is the kids you find in arcades; they're just annoying as hell. Why? This is why: They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Okay, so I go to an arcade to have some fun, cash my five dollar bill into quarters, and then when I go over to my favorite arcade game, The Fast And The Furious, I find this: Some five year old kid is sitting there, occupying my seat. I really wouldn't mind if he was actually playing the game, but he's not. He's just sitting there, turning the wheel while making "Whoooshing" sounds. I want to play the game, so I ask the kid if I can play. He says, "No, I'm playing!" I sigh and try to explain to him that he's not playing. The damn leaderboards are even up; how the hell are you playing with the leaderboards blocking your view? This either goes one of two ways: The kid finally gets a clue, leaves, and I get to play in peace, or, the kid gets up, leaves, and two minutes later he comes back with his mom and I get bitched at for harassing her son. What a load of shit.

Alright, so now I'm finally playing a race. I'm kicking back in my nice hard plastic seat, listening to the shitty music that the game has to offer, and of course, enjoying every damn minute of it. I'm mid-way into the race, and at this stage I'm either in third to first position depending on the map, when all of a sudden some little fucking kid comes out of no where and hits the N2O(Nitrous Oxide) button on the machine. My car suddenly thrusts forward at full speed while I ask the kid, "What the hell did you that for?" Next thing I know, I crash into a wall. I'm now in eight place. I'm pissed. The kid, with a big grin on his face, responds, "It makes you go faster!" No shit. There's no point to using nitrous during the race at all. All you need to do is stay clear of traffic, keep your velocity consistent, slow down on turns, and you should get to first place by the middle of the race. Unlike most people that play the game, I don't like to waste my N2O until the very end of the race when I have to go head to head against the computer controlled cars. Why? Because the only way to win against them is if you spam all of your nitrous while doing wheelies for an extra boost in your speed. This method almost always lands you in first place, if you do it correctly that is. And of course first place equals a free game. This is why I only need five dollars, because I get first most of the time, unlike all the kids that cash out a twenty for quarters and manage to waste it all within five minutes of playing. Kids...

The arcade game has a feature that lets you create an account that is attributed to a PIN that you create as well. The account lets you customize your cars once before every race(letting you add/upgrade perks such as nitrous, spoilers, tires, engines, neon lights, and decals), unlock new cars with money gained from races, and of course, displays your custom name/alias on the leaderboards for everyone to bask in your glory. Why am I telling you this? So you know what I'm talking about in the next scenario when I mention it.

Anyway, I always like human challengers on this game because it really gets boring playing against the computer all the time. I love it when little kids challenge me even more, because they get so frustrated when they lose. We both shove our quarters into the machine, and enter our PIN numbers so we can use our custom cars. I always choose my custom Dodge Challenger equipped with some nice tires, a spoiler, the second or third engine(the one that sticks out of the hood), and of course N2O, for those do-or-die situations. It's the only car that I have customized on my account, and I like it that way. The kid who is challenging me looks over at my car, chuckles, and shows me his "bad ass" Nissan 350Z, fully equipped with all the perks. Sure the acceleration, speed, control, and aerodynamics(amount of time your car stays in the air when you jump ramps/cliffs) are all at their best for his car, but damn, his car looks like shit. Here's a description of what that car looks like when you max out all of the upgrades: It has a big ass engine sticking out of its hood, neon lights under it for more awesomeness, spinning rims because those are really necessary, shitty decals that cover the car's paint-job, and of course let's not forget the five story spoiler on the back. Yeah kid, awesome car, I wish I was playing with that.

The race starts and the kid automatically uses up all three of his nitrous so he can thrust himself all the way to first place. He's doing really well, all until he crashes into a pedestrian car because he's driving on the wrong side of the road. Of course, he doesn't know that because he can't see shit in front of him with all the crap he has on his car. I speed by him, but I don't say anything. I stay calm and laugh to myself on the inside because I think it pisses them off even more. They're already bitching at the game because they're in last place; I don't need to shove in in their face. I end up winning the race in first, and most cases I still have nitrous left over. The kid is pissed, so he jams more quarters into the machine wanting a rematch and we repeat the process until he either runs out of quarters and leaves or gets so pissed that he just leaves in the middle of the race. Either way, I get some kicks out of his reactions.

Kids. They shouldn't be allowed in arcades, not if they're under twelve years old. I think kids above twelve have some decency and understanding, but hey, I could be wrong. I was actually told today that Japanese arcades actually have age restrictions. How I sometimes wish this was Japan...

2009-02-19T10:32:00.000-08:00

Okay, since I have not found a single website that guides you through step by step on how to set up your GoDaddy domain name with your blogger blog, I will just make have to make one myself.

There are two main parts to this guide: How to set up your GoDaddy domain's settings, and how to set up your Blogger's settings.

How to set up your GoDaddy settings:
1. Log into GoDaddy and go to Domains > My Domains.
2. Click on the domain that you want to use for your blog.
3. Find the "Total DNS Control and MX Records" link and click it.
4. Under the "Total DNS Control Panel," locate "CNAMES(Aliases)."
5. Click on the pencil icon to edit it.
6. Set it as these settings exactly: "Enter an Alias Name: www" & "Points to Host Name: ghs.google.com" If you don't know what TTL is, just leave it at 1 hour.
7. Hit OK.
8. Now we need to go back to the previous screen, the one where you found "Total DNS Control and MX Records," but this time find "Forwarding:" and click on the link below it.
9. You will get a "Forward and Mask Domains" section pop-up at the top. Click on the "Forwarding" tab.
10. Check the "enable forwarding" box, enter your blog's url(www.blog.blogspot.com) into the "Forward to:" box, and finally, click/check the "301 Moved Permanently" radio button.
11. Now press the "Masking" tab.
12. Check the "Enable masking" box. You can leave everything else blank for now.
13. Finally, hit OK.
14. You're done with part one, time for part two.

How to set up your Blogger settings:
1. Log into Blogger, go to "Dashboard," pick a blog, and click "Settings."
2. Under the "Settings" tab, click the "Publishing" tab.
3. Find this: "Switch to: • Custom Domain (Point your own registered domain name to your blog)," and click on "Custom Domain."
4. Under the orange text that says "Buy a domain for your blog," look for "Already own a domain? Switch to advanced settings." It's on the right side. Click "advanced settings."
5. For your domain, enter your godaddy domain in the input box. It should include both the www. and the .com. An example would look like this: "www.domain.com"
6. Enter the word verification code, hit "Save Settings," and you're done!

If you did everything correctly, your domain name will now lead to your blog.

If you did it this way, you won't have to worry about the error you get on Blogger when you try to set your blog to be hosted at both "www.domain.com" & "domain.com". A lot of people are getting a "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains." error whilst trying to set it up this way. If you've set up your GoDaddy account from a different guide online, you probably changed the "A (Host)" settings on GoDaddy. I left this step out because it only will cause you problems.

This is how to fix the "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains." error:
1. Log into GoDaddy and go to Domains > My Domains.
2. Click on the domain that you want to use for your blog.
3. Find the "Total DNS Control and MX Records" link and click it.
4. Under the "Total DNS Control Panel," locate "A (Host)."
5. Click on the pencil icon to edit it.
6. Set it as these settings exactly: "Host Name: @" & "Points To IP Address: 64.202.189.170" Again, leave the TTL at 1 hour.
7. Hit OK, and you're done.

After doing that, you won't have to bother trying to set up your Blogger settings to redirect "domain.com" to "www.domain.com," GoDaddy will do it for you automatically. Enjoy.

MetroPCS "Unlimit Yourself"

2009-02-18T20:47:00.000-08:00

If you don't know what MetroPCS is, it's a relatively unpopular cell phone service provider. They offer unlimited calling for prices as little as $30 a month. Sure, they're not as popular as the bigshots: Cingular/AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, etc, but that doesn't always mean that they're not a reliable company. Or does it?

The $30 a month unlimited calling plan looks like a total waste of money. You are only allowed to make unlimited local calls, and based on this chart, it doesn't seem like you can purchase any additional services like voicemail, caller id, call waiting, text messaging, email, maps, ringtones, and all that other crap that you don't really need. Wait, since when do I need to purchase voicemail and caller id as an extra service with a phone comapany? An extra charge for the basics? This doesn't sound very promising.

If all you're looking for is just unlimited calling locally, then go for it, but be warned. Why the warning? This is why: The range of connectivity is fairly low with this company. Take a look here for yourself. There are a few good "hot zones" throughout the country, mainly major cities such as New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; Waco, TX; and so on. I'd say about ten major cities tops are good places to use this service. If you don't live in any of them, do yourself a favor and just stay away from this company.

Anyway, let's cut to the chase. Let's take a look at some responses from a few happy customers using MetroPCS and see what they have to say about this their fantastic usage and experiences. I'll try to keep them as recent as possible.

"2/18/2009 - Location: Bronx, NY

I recently purchased a phone from this company and I was disappointed. I only received one game on this phone, I could not make or receive phone calls out of state, I was misinformed by the employees. When asked about the return policy, I was told that I had seven days to return the phone. Five-six days later I was told that I could not return the phone or upgrade the phone.

That is horrible business considering I paid $150 dollars for a crappy phone. The features of this phone are very cheap. If I could recommend a phone to anyone it would not be from Metro PCS or Kyocera. When I tried to call customer service I was also given the run around and told that no one could help me but the store that I brought it from. Now doesn't that suck? By the way they refuse to give you back your money as if this country is already not in enough debt from greedy, selfish corporate owners.

If for some strange reason they decide that they have any morals and will give me my money back I will definitely post it and give them credit!"

"2/7/2009 - Location: Dallas, TX

Currently MetroPCS is my only phone. I'm not necessarily unhappy with the actually service or phone, but their customer service capabilities and attitude are horrendous. Because the free month they start you with is always the $45 plan with all the bells and whistles, I made sure to change my plan prior to my first payment to the $40 plan with NO extras.

After making the change, I was told that my monthly bill would be $48.30. Okay...I paid it and all seemed well. Now my second payment is supposedly $49.21, so I called to find out why there was an extra $.91 on the bill. Here's a tip when calling that frustrating recorded 'help' line: choose the option 'manage my account' then say 'something else' when they ask you to state an option. Mind you, you'll be on hold for an eternity but it should get you to an agent. After figuring that out, I got some very rude gentleman (and I use that term loosely)who kept telling me that I had a leftover balance from the month before and said he 'thought' it might be due to end of the year taxes..? That's the equivalent of saying 'I have no idea and will just make up any excuse to explain what I don't know'. I will try obtaining my account number..something they don't give you when you first sign up..tomorrow and viewing my bill online myself. I haven't yet looked closely, but I suspect there might be a charge for that. Sigh.

I've never done business with anyone who won't provide at least an online bill for your convenience, but I've also never done business with a company who makes it so difficult to talk to customer service either. Just remember people, there is a HUGE difference between inexpensive and cheap. This company is just cheap. Management is invisible, customer service is incompetent and you really do get what you pay for."

"2/16/2009 - Location: Detroit , MI
My experiences with Metro PCS have been great I never had a problem with my service originally I bought Motorola k1m and it was stolen and I had insurance so I called to have my phone replaced. They were out of stock on my phone and suggested a phone that was a couple of dollars less than what my phone was and asked me if that would be ok I said no so they transferred me to a supervisor who got me the Motorokr which is actually and upgrade on my phone and had it here in two days. I probably was only out my phone 3 days. Good service if you ask me."

"1/26/2009 - Location: san jose, CA

On January 15 or 16 I bought a Razr V3 phone on the internet during the process of buying it said try another card I was absolutely sure the credit card was good because I called before I purchase the phone. It was supposed to be delivered in 3 days now it 10 days later January 26 still have not receive the phone. I called the credit card company the said the amount the phone cost from MetroPCS was deducted from my credit card. But still no phone yet."

"12/12/2008 - Location: TX
I thought having Metro PCS for my kids was a good idea since it's one fee per month well guess again!!!! They change your plan with out notice you can never reach a customer service without being on hold for 45 mins. And when you go to one of the stores to get help they 9xs out of 10 have no clue to what they are even doing! The corp. office in Garland, Texas the people are just RUDE as H&%$!!!! They tell you when you sign up that the bill will be this amount plus tax and I have had them for 4 months and the bill has NEVER been the same!

They send each one of my daughters a text message that the bill is due and NEVER has the bill been the same on each text message."
- - -

Okay, so looking at some reviews, we can see that there are a lot of happy customers with this company. We can also deduct that customer service is fast, reliable, and friendly. That was sarcasm, if you didn't notice. If you want to read more reviews for MetroPCS, this is where I got them from: MetroPCS Reviews. And remember, MetroPCS: Unlimit Yourself, unlimit yourself to bullshit.

Bluetooth

2009-02-15T21:38:00.001-08:00

What a fag. And not to mention his wife looks like a man too, what a perfect couple.

I can't stand Bluetooth, and I really can't stand people wearing them. Alright, I get it, it's cool wearing a headset so you can talk to your pals without holding your phone next to your face the whole time. It's a great way to free up that extra hand. I'm sure you feel really important while you're strolling down the street having a full blown business conversation on it, but in reality, you just look crazy to everyone else, especially if we can't even see that you're wearing a headset.

Why the hell would you need a Bluetooth headset while you're walking down the street anyway? I mean sure, you have use of both your hands now, but what the hell are you going to use your hands for while walking down the street? I mean, I can see if you're riding a bike it can be useful, but seriously, have you ever seen people riding bikes wearing these things? I sure haven't. Hell, I've even seen people using cellphones while riding their bikes.

I guess those classy businessmen(the ones in suits that carry suitcases around) can use a spare hand while talking on the phone and walking down the street. You know, just in case some middle-class loser bumps into your brand new thousand dollar suit, you'll have that extra hand to brush the dust off of your suit(of course you'll be wearing leather gloves too) all while still being able to carry your suitcase in your other hand and being able to tell your friends how some douchebag just ran right into you. Isn't that useful?

But hey, Bluetooth isn't just for rich people, it's for everyone who wants to look like a rich douchebag! Simply buy a Bluetooth headset, place it on your ear, and walk around talking about random crap on it. You'll be the coolest mofo on the block, I promise you that. You'll get everyone's attention in no time. People will be admiring that awesome attachement on your ear. You'll hear things such as, "Gee, I wish I had a Bluetooth headset," "If had one of those, I could fuck and talk to my frineds at the same time," and maybe you'll even hear some little aspiring child say, "Wow, when I grow up, I want to be a real douchebag just like that guy!" So please, if you don't already own a Bluetooth headset, please go out and buy one right now. You'll never want to use a hand-held cellphone again!

On somewhat of a side note, but still very related, let's look at this useless hunk of junk:

Wow, Verizon's LG Decoy has a Bluetooth headset that you can plug in the phone, Neat-O! What a waste, seriously. A phone with a detachable headset, that's sooo cool! I can see it can be useful if you want to charge your headset on-the-go, but what the hell, it's just eating up your phone's battery. Uh oh, the phone's ringing, let me snap off the headset, snuggly fit it on my ear, and answer the call. Yeah, that's pretty useful if you're working out or something I guess, but if you're sitting in a fucking subway car and actually take the time to put that shit on your ear, well, you could have just answered the call instead of missing it. "But I need my hands to read a book!" If you're reading a book, why the hell are you having a conversation with someone at the same time? How is that even possible? Hell, I sure can't do both at the same time, but if you can, congrats, but you're still a douchebag for wearing that Bluetooth.

Cheers.

BlackBerry Storm

2008-10-08T10:35:00.000-07:00

First we had the Apple iPhone 3G, then word about the Google 1G came out(and the word on this is that it's already sold out on pre-order), and now we have yet a new competitor in the market, the BlackBerry Storm. It's the first ever touch screen BlackBerry unit amd for now it will be exclusively for Verizon. Hmmmm, let's sum this up: Apple iPhone 3G is for AT&T, Google G1 is for T-Mobile, and Blackberry Storm is for Verizon. Are we missing any other major phone companies up there? Well, I can't think of anything at the moment, but if I am, just let me know.

Anyway, let's see what all the comotion is about. At this point, there's still no word on the release date nor the price, so I guess you'll have to wait it out. Anyway, let's get down to the core of every phone, its features! Here are a list of many of the Blackberry Storm's features. Enjoy.

Features:
- Dual-mode CDMA and GSM radios for full-on world calling
- GPS with turn-by-turn directions
- Bluetooth, includes a A2DP profile for stereo Bluetooh headsets
- 3.2 Megapixel Camera with flash abd auto-focus
- 4.4 x 2.4 x 0.55 inches (roughly same size as iPhone & Google G1)
- 480 x 360 pixel screen (multi-touch support; two-finger gestures)
- "ClickThrough" feature: "lets you distinctly feel the screen being pressed and released with a gentle click for a highly intuitive experience"
- Ambient light sensor
- Accelerometer, automatically turns screen when you hold phone sideways
- Landscape mode = full QWERTY on-screen keyboard; Portrait mode= SureType keypad
- E-mail, POP & IMAP e-mail servers; SMS, picture, & instant messaging
- Full-on Office document editing: Word, Excel, & PowerPoint
- Blackberry "Store" for application downloads
- Full HTML browser; double-tap zoom, tap & slide scroll
- Video & Music player, full screen video playback
- 3.5mm jack for earphones
- 1 Gigabyte of storage
- MicroSD expansion slot for extra 16GB flash memory

It sounds like a pretty nice phone, but there's one thing that's missing: Wi-Fi. There hasn't been anyword on Wi-Fi yet, what a drag. There's also some rumors going around that the price will be $199 with a two-year contract. Anyway, you can see a list of all the spec on the BlackBerry page right here. I'm not a BlackBerry fan and I already have my eyes set on the Google G1. How about everyone else, anyone looking forward to buying this thing?

All in all, it's not perfect, but it does have some new features compared to the iPhone. And hey, it's $20 cheaper than the iPhone!

Sara Palin's Intelligence

2008-10-03T14:45:00.000-07:00

Here's a small script of the interview with my own side notes and comments:

Question: "What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?"

Answer: "I've read most of them, again for a great appreciation of the press, for the media..."

- That wasn't the question bitch. She asked you for titles, not amounts.

Question: "And like what were [they] specifically, I'm curious..."

Answer: "Ummm, all of em', any of em' that, ummm that have been in front of me for all these years..."

- Bitch, do you not understand the question? She wants to know specific names of the magazine and/or newspapers. And seriously, can you read any newspapers or magazines that are behind you? I sure can't.

Question: "[Can you] name a few?"

Answer: "I have a vast variety of "sources" where we get our news to. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kinda suggested, it seems like, wow, how could you keep with-emm in touch with the rest of,(very slight pause) Washington DC may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska. Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America..."

- Wow, where to start with this one? Well, first off the question is "Can you name a few?" The correct and honest answer would be, "No." Instead, you choose to try change the topic by introducing Alaska into it. Alaska not only has no relevance to the question, but now you're also making Alaska look bad because of your moronic response. Wait, what did you just say? "I have a vast variety of "sources" where we get our news to..." Wait, the main question asks where you've gotten your information from, why the fuck did you just say "to"? Not only have you not answered the question, you went on further to make an extra fool out of yourself by saying "to," and as if that wasn't enough, now you're making Alaska look bad. "Alaska is like a microcosm of America." I'm sure it is; I'm sure it is. For those of you who don't know what a microcosm is, well, here's the definition: a little world; a world in miniature. You're telling me that Alaska, some desolate state that's to the west of Canada, is a microcosm of America? You gotta be fucking kidding me. You guys don't even have any fucking magazines/newspapers up there, and you're trying to tell me that you're a miniature version of American as a whole. Need I say more?

Real-Life Halo 3 Equipment

2008-09-30T19:47:00.000-07:00

When I first saw the first video I was left speechless. I didn't know if I should praise the kid for making all of the Halo 3 weapons and Spartan armor out of only cardboard and tape or if I should cruelly shun him for having absolutely no life what-so-ever, so I didn't even bother writing up a comment on his video. Instead, I am here, writing a blog post to inform you all about this magnificent discovery.

The first video is the first one I found. His stuff is sub par, but pretty damn good for only being made out of cardboard and tape. He also has a lot of the Halo 3 weapons too. The second video is the second one I found; it features an full Halo 3 Elite suit. It's also pretty bad ass and looks pretty good too. The last is my favorite, a red colored Spartan VI suit. It's by far the best I've seen, and the guy ever sells them on his website, Mind to Life Arts. A costly $600 per complete suit, but hey, look a the bright side, you'll be scoring all the Halo 3 fan girls at cosplay conventions.

.doc File Converter

2008-09-13T18:12:00.000-07:00

So, I had to go and print out some files for class that were in Miscrosoft Word's .doc format, but it was okay since I looked at it ahead of time and figured I'd go pirate myself a copy of Word before the class day came. Well, what do you know, I forgot all about and now it was the night before. I could have still tried to go find a copy of Word on some torrent site, but finding a legit copy with a crack/keygen and getting it all setup would probably take too long, let alone finding one with a lot of seeds.

Of course these days you don't really need to download a whole application just to view a file with a different file extension, you just really need to find a good file converter and you're good to go. I managed to find one, download it, and try it out. It was a 30-time-use trial, and you would have to buy the full thing for over thirty dollars. I really don't like having a bunch of random ass programs on my computer for different things, so I got rid of it.

At last, salvation came. I found a website that lets you convert .doc files into a .pdf file format. PDF stands for portable document file and can be easily read by an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Since my computer came with Adobe Acrobat Reader on it when I bought it, my problem was solved. This is how it works: you upload your .doc file on their website by using their upload form, the site converts your file, your file is then displayed in an open Internet Explorer window (or whatever browser you use), and now you can edit, save, or print the converted file. Simple and easy to use, and it's free. I don't know if there's a file size limit on the site, but I easily got my 10~15kbs files converted in mere seconds.

Here's the site: www.doc2pdf.net

It's free, and they also have an image file converter. If you can, donate to the site so it can stay up as long as possible and remain free to use. If this post helped you out, write a comment and say thanks, so I know this isn't just another dead, useless blog. Thanks.

Call of Duty 4 - PC Version

2008-08-29T13:54:00.000-07:00

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fairly older game. It's not really old, but it did come out last year, but that doesn't mean that it's not worthwhile at all. In fact, it's one of the top first person shooters for the Xbox 360 gaming console right now. I don't know the exact number, but I believe it was something like forty million copies that were sold of the game since it was first released. Anyway, I'm not going to be talking about Xbox 360 here, but about CoD4(Call of Duty 4) on the PC(Personal Computer).

So I've had CoD4 for the Xbox 360 almost ever since it was first released, but over the last week or so, I've been hitting up internet cafes and playing CoD4 on the PC with a few friends, so I figured I might as well get it for PC since most of them don't have an Xbox 360. Of course since I already have a version of CoD4 for Xbox 360, there's no way I'm spending another sixty bucks so I can play it on my PC. What better way to get something so great and expensive for free other than torrents. If you don't know what torrents are, damn you've been missing out on some great opportunities.

Anyway, since I'm sure almost everyone has played CoD4 at least once I'm not going to get into detail about what the game's about and its mechanics. I'm just going to be comparing the Xbox 360 version with the PC version. If you've never played CoD4, well you better get your ass to the nearest game shop and buy it. No money? Then get the PC Version and download it from a torrent. It's illegal, but free, and come on, it's not like you've never illegally downloaded anything before. Yeah, you like getting all those songs for free on Limewire right? Well, it's illegal. Anyway, to save you some time looking for the torrent, follow this link and get it from there. There are a lot of people seeding it, but a lot more leechers too, but it's probably the best one out there and depending on your speed and the number of seeds, you should get it down in a day or so. It took me about twenty-two hours to fully download, but for a game its size, that's a pretty good time.

The torrent comes with a No-CD crack for single player mode, and also with a Key Code Generator for multiplayer play. The only downside is, all of those keys are being used. You won't imagine how many people are playing CoD4 as you read this blog, but they are there, using those CD Keys, not allowing you to play. Hey, you are getting the game for free, so don't get your panties in a twist about not being able to play. Thankfully, there's a solution: Private/Cracked Servers. Here is a list of private servers that you can play on, Private-Servers. And this is how you log on to the servers. First you open up your CoD4 multiplayer client, press " ` " on your keyboard, of course don't press the quotes, those are there to show you what you need to press, which is the key located directly to the left side of the "1" on your keyboard. After you've done so, an input box comes up. Type in, without quotes, "connect 87.106.210.231:28960" It'll connect to the game if your ping is low enough. If your ping is too high, get a better connection. If the server is full, go get a new one from the list. Anyway, that's how you get onto CoD4 on your PC for free.

Anyway, getting back to the point, CoD4 is pretty much the same on PC as it is on the Xbox 360. There are a few differences though. One of the first is, well you get to use your keyboard and mouse to play the game. If you've never used your keyboard other than to type up an essay, well you're screwed. The keys are fairly simple to use, and once you get used to them you'll do just fine. You can change the key up if you want as well, but for me I just left most of them as they were. You can use any mouse, but if you want to make things easier on yourself, you can get a gaming mouse. I use a Logitech G5 and with it I have a few more buttons on my mouse to make combat easier for myself. If you really want to, you can use a controller, but if you want to experience a new way to play, just use your keyboard(or if you're used to a keyboard & mouse, use your controller).

I've only played the PC Version for a few days, and I'm already level twenty-three. I don't remember the title rank, but it's around that number. Gaining levels is easy, especially if you do the challenges. I've heard things about the game messing up and resetting your ranks though, so watch out. From what I've seen, your rank info is stored on your hard drive, so it seems that your account details, ranks, and weapons are client-side, which means if you had the tools to do it, you could probably modify it all, but I really don't care for it so I haven't bothered looking up how to do it for this game. Movement is a little different on the PC as well. You can move forward, backward, left, and right like always, but unlike on the console you can strafe left and right a lot easier and the PC version also allows you to lean left and right to take a peak from the side of a wall or window unlike the console version where you would have to move your whole body to take a peak. I have noticed that running and jumping in the game is a little buggy because your character won't always run when you hit the run key and there seems to be a delay on jumping as you are running as well.

Well so far that's all I've noticed from just a few days of playing it on the PC, perhaps there are a lot more differences between the console and computer, but I have yet to discover them.

2008-08-22T18:44:00.000-07:00

Let me start his off by saying, "What the fuck?" The box he's standing on says "Stone Art," but I see no stones nor do I see any art. I'm sure after reading this there will be some people out there that are going to hate me for pointing out all the misleading points in this guy's presentation, so in advance I'm just going to tell you to shut the hell up and stop wasting your time trying to get me to show sympathy for the performer's mistakes. Anyway, there are two major flaws in this "Stone Art" performance, both are pretty obvious, but I'm sure most people out there will not even realize them.

Let's start off with the first point, "Stone Art." Where the hell is the stone? I see no stone anywhere. I see a man failing to impersonate a stone, but I see no stone. "OMG! There's a stone right over there on the ground!" If you just thought that to yourself, get the fuck off of my blog and never return. This man dressed up in an all grey outfit, standing completely still, is a good impersonation of a stone. I'll give him that, he has the balls to stand on a fucking box all day for a few dollars. Not many people are willing to do that, let alone get a real job. His "stone" impersonation is going great, but as soon as someone drops some change in his box, he starts to move. Okay, I don't know what kind of world the rest of you guys live in, but I have never seen a stone start moving unless some outside force interferes with it. Immobilization is good; movement is bad, very bad. Other than his movement as a "stone," are the clothes he wears. Why the fuck is some of his apparel silver?

My second point, "Is he a stone-man or a fucking robot?" Every time he moves he makes a fucking robotic buzzing noise. What the hell? Seriously, get your act straight; stones don't make any sound, let alone sounds that robots make. I wonder if any one has ever realized any of this before. The case is probably not because people are too busy taking photos and pooling all their money together so they can dump it in his bucket so he can give them a lollipop or a kiss on the hand.

If this was truly "Stone Art," he would stand there the whole day without moving, just like a stone. He will not use the restroom and refrain from moving at all costs whether his bucket of cash gets looted or if someone were to punch him in the dick. And on top of it all, he will not make any robot sounds. If I were to ever met a "Stone Art" guy like that, I'd fucking throw my wallet into his cash bucket.

Get back.

"No Homo"

2008-08-18T15:09:00.000-07:00

"No Homo" is a phrase that's somewhat new and it's been going around for quite a while now. Usually it'll be used after an affectionate moment so everyone who witnessed that moment doesn't think you're a homosexual. Here's an example, the person talking is a male for your information: "Hey John, you look mighty sexy in those jeans, no homo!" That was a very homosexual thing for one male to say to another, and anyone who saw or heard it would most definantly assume you're gay. But wait, you said "no homo" at the end of that compliment, so that automatically idvalidates anyone from assuming you are a raging homosexual, right?

No, wrong. I believe the "no homo" phrase is complete bullshit that some guy pulled out of his ass one day after he was caught in some gay situation. Of course, him having the straightest reputation around cannot even merely show some manly compassion for his best friend or everyone else would think he's actually gay! So, Viola, "no homo" and I'm instantly straight again. It's like a magic eraser that cleases the faggotry away from you so you can live again like every other straight guy out there. Seriously, that's so much bullshit I cannot begin to comprehend how people accept it. It's like, "I just ass raped your brother last night while your dad was sucking me off. Don't worry, I said "no homo" so I'm still straight. Right on!"

P.S. I love you guys, no homo.

World of Warcraft

2008-08-10T20:06:00.000-07:00

I've always wanted to play World of Warcraft so I can see what all the fuss was about, but I never really wanted to because it costs money to play and because I heard it was extremely addictive. The other day I saw an ad somewhere that was advertising a World of Warcraft(WoW) ten day free trial. So, I figured, what the heck, let's give it a try, it's only ten days and chances I won't far enough in the game to want to buy the full thing.

After finally setting up my account, and filling in fake personal info in all those fields they make you fill out, I was ready to kick some ass. On a side note, I really have no idea why the hell they need your state, address, phone number, and all that other personal info. Are they going to track you down if you mess around on the game? Who knows. Getting back on track, WoW was a whole milestone from what I've heard of it. I've heard things like the graphics are bad, and game play sucks. Honestly, it was nothing like that when I played, so I have no idea what people are talking about. This is how I would sum up my feelings about how great this game really is, "WoW, this game sucks! It's possibly the shittiest game that I have ever laid eyes upon. Seriously, I would rather play Runescape than Wow, and if that doesn't tell you something, you must be mentally retarded."

Let's start with the graphics. I've heard things about how crappy the graphics are, but actually seeing them for myself in-game was just unimaginable. I loved being able to change my character's appearance from looking like crap, to looking like a putrid pile of shit. I even traveled to a semi-populated town where I found some higher level characters. They had higher level equipment, but it still looked like some kind of crap made out of clay or something. This one guy had a sword that was on fire, it was an improvement in graphics, but still not good enough. Sorry, but Blizzard you seriously need to improve WoW's graphics a lot. It's not the year 2000 anymore guys, get on your asses and start rendering up a more realistic world.

The gameplay wasn't any better, so that didn't win my heart to play either. I can't stand a game with bad graphics, but if the controls are a mess, there's no point in trying to continue the game. It's pretty nice using your keyboard to move, but why the hell can't I use my mouse and click on a spot where I want to move to? Is it so hard to put that into the game? Attacking is similar to a lot of other MMORPGs, the classic hack-and-slash, but WoW has a certain change that really annoyed the hell out of me. In order to start the hack-and-slash sequence after clicking your mouse to attack, you have to be facing the monster you want to attack and you also have to be in range. What the fuck? Why can't I just click my mouse so my character can automatically get in to position and initiate the hack-and-slash sequence of attacks where I can then use whatever skills or spells that I want while my character is doing its part? This game's a joke, thank god I only used a trial version to play and didn't waste my own hard earned cash on this crap.

The game did have something I liked though, so don't think I hated everything about it. When you would die, you would become a ghost and you would have to look for your corspe in order to come back to life. I found that feature interesting, but everything else was horrible.

If you're thinking about starting to play WoW for the first time, please just get the ten day trial and save yourself from wasting any money on this pile of putrid roadside skunk shit.

Britney and McCain in 2008

2008-08-08T14:21:00.000-07:00

I'm not into politics, nor have I been following the political campaigns of the '08 elections, but that doesn't mean I can't share this video with you. I think it's kind of funny. Maybe it's actually funnier if you were following up on the McCain campaigns, but I haven't so I wouldn't know. On a side note, I have to say Britney Spears looks pretty hot in this video; it's unfortunate that I cannot say that about her anymore. Anyway, enjoy.

Boston Dynamics Big Dog

2008-08-08T13:58:00.000-07:00

This is by far the scariest robot I've seen to date. It's gait just scares the shit out of me, and that weird buzzing sound it makes just adds to it. The first part of the video where it shows it in the woods is pretty creepy by itself. Now imagine yourself in those woods at night and you heard and saw that thing getting close to you. I don't know about you guys, but I would get the hell away from it as soon as possible. To top it off, its ability to balance itself and not fall over is amazing. In the clip a guy kicks it on the side, and it recovers from the kick without even falling. It can walk on what looks like any type of terrain. The video shows it walking on rocks, snow, bricks, and even on ice. It's pretty amazing, and pretty creepy at the same time. I wonder what they're going to use it for. It's probably going to end up as a military bag carrier or something like that, but maybe the new versions of it might have guns attached and all that other good stuff. Enjoy the video!

This is truly one of those rare songs out there that actually sound good for their genre. Hey, but don't take my word for, listen to it yourself and see what you think. The song is by Juicy Karkass and you can go to his myspace page here to listen to his other songs.

Be KANYE NOW

2008-08-05T19:35:00.001-07:00

I was coming home today when I saw an ad about some pills that you can take to become Kanye. I stopped and read it over to see if it was real, or what the deal was with it. I have no idea what all of this is about, but I'm sure it's tied into that infomercial and probably something I missed on Comedy Central. Please, do tell me what's up, I want to be Kanye too.

"Love Bot" Femisapien

2008-08-02T17:00:00.000-07:00

I was going to write a blog on this, but after watching it and reading all of CanadianVandal's annotations on it, I realized that all of those annotations summed up everything I wanted to say. Thank you CanadianVandal, you've saved me a hell load of time from writing up on this. Sadly, the annotations only work when you're on Youtube.com itself, so please go and watch the video here for the full effect. One last thing that I think is necessary was this user's comment:

EXTEEL

2008-07-31T19:47:00.000-07:00

The name of the game is Exteel(Official Site Here), it's from NC Soft, it's a massively multiplayer online third person shooter, and best of all, it's free. It's based on some kind of war between machines or something. I've never bothered to read up on the story behind it so I can't tell you what it's about. It does remind me a lot of Gundam, and that's why my call name in game is ZakuIIS.

The controls are simple, WASD to move, space to jump, double-tap a movement key to do a dash, R to change between your two weapon sets, the mouse to change the camera angles and view, and the left and right mouse buttons to shoot/slash/block depending on what kind of equipment you're using. Nice and simple controls, I wish every game would be like that. There are levels and ranks in the game. I'm guessing the military rank is just for show, and your level lets you upgrade some stats like health, speed, armor, aim, and other abilities. You start with a basic unit, or mobile suit as I like to imagine them, and can either buy new separate parts such as head, arms, legs, etc. or if you save up enough credits you can buy a full set of armor for your whole body. Then come the equipment which includes pistols, sub machine guns, rifles, long range rocket/grenade launchers, swords, shields, healing guns, under-arm blades, and these things that look like those jousting pikes. After the weapons you get the extras which are just different paint jobs, faster respawn charges, and repair kits.

After I stopped playing about a month or two ago, and coming back just yesterday, the game hasn't improved that much, but there are some new things that they've added. A few new weapons and paint jobs were added, and a lot of the equipment that you had to use NCCoins(the game's micro payment option to enhance your gaming experience) to buy has been released so you can purchase it with credit you gain in the game. A new game mode, Capture the Flag, has also been added and after a few rounds of playing it myself I think they worked it out well.

All in all, if you like Gundam and fast paced Third Person Shooters, you should definitely check out Exteel. If I had to rate this, I would give it an 8.5/10, only because I think they should have added some more armor types and weapons to the game.

Infinity Online (Gameplay)

2008-07-31T11:10:00.000-07:00

Infinity Online is an action style Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, or MMORPG for short. If you take some time to look at the video you'll get to see how badass this game looks. The minute I saw this I just wanted to download, install, and start tearing this shit up, so I did. The only problem is, common with a lot of other kick-ass MMORPG's out there, the game is not available to North America. What kind of bullshit is that? I really don't get it, why do they have to block us from playing it? If I really wanted to I could probably change my IP and use a tunneling service to play it, but I'm too lazy to do that and playing with that tends to lag up the game a lot.

The minute it hits North America, my ass in on that game so I can soon come to the realization that they totally fucked us over and gave us the first version of the game which sucks balls while everyone else gets the newest badass version to play. This happened with a game I thought was great, just like this game. It was called Cabal Online. The videos looked oh-so-awesome, but when it finally came to America, half the stuff shown in the videos was missing. It's a load of bullshit, but I guess that's what happens when a game is free and foreign. Well that's all I have to say, have fun and enjoy the video because that's probably the closest we'll ever get to playing that Infinity Online.

This is one of many examples of why Youtube is one of the greatest websites known to man, right next to Google of course. What a great song don't you think? After going through a few of these I've come to the conclusion that they are created by a person called Nico Nico, but that's all the info I have so far.

And yes, I put the video on auto-play so it can torture you as soon as you see it. One last thing before I leave you alone with this masterpiece, what is the anime series called featured in the video? Thanks and enjoy!

I just found out that the Anime that this is from is Death Note. I should have know, how silly of me... And I just turned off autoplay because it was getting too annoying.

Vista "Cancel or Allow" & HDD Issues

2008-07-29T22:22:00.001-07:00

I've always heard about how bad Windows Vista was since it first came out. I always figured that there was no need to get Vista, and with all those complaints about all those Vista problems, who would actually buy it? Well aside from all the complaints people were raising, the cool new aero effects looked pretty nice, but then again visual effects like that do tend to slow your computer's performance down and this was probably the case for most people getting Vista on their decently old computers. I was perfectly happy with Windows XP, but now all the new computer come with Vista pre-installed and after buying a brand new kick ass machine, I figured I might as well leave Vista on it and get used to it. It's not so bad, and I heard Vista Service Pack 1 fixed most of the problems people were running into. Since this is a new machine, I can keep all the cool Vista effects running without having to worry about performance issues as well. It's a win-win game right? Not really. I have run into some problems after about a month's use of Windows Vista and I'll talk about them here and give you some solutions that I found for them.

The first major annoyance is what gives Mac users their little hard-ons every time they see it pop-up on a Windows Vista computer. Yes, you guessed it, the "Cancel or Allow" security feature that Vista comes with. It was designed to protect us from unauthorized programs from staring up and performing tasks by themselves if Vista doesn't recognize them. Every time such an action would occur, your screen goes dim and an alert window like the one above would appear and you would have to choose if you want to allow to program to go ahead and do what it has to do, or cancel it and block it from running. It's a nice security add-on, but the way it works on Vista is just a major nuisance. You get an alert window for every little thing that you try to run. You like to download music, pictures, games, or anything else right? Well guess what pops up every time you try to download something? Yea, you guessed it, "Cancel or Allow". If I had to rate this feature on an annoyance scale of 1-10, I would give it a 10 without hesitation. After a few days of putting up with this, I found a way to turn it off by mistake. I needed to find a solution to play a MMORPG and this was one of the solution, and what do you know, it actually worked. No more alert windows ever again. To get rid of this alert, you'll have to disable the User Account Control (UAC). It'll make your system less secure, but a hell lot less of a nuisance. Here is a nice simple guide on how to disable the UAC, click here.

The second thing I've noticed on my new computer ever since I got it was that every day a few gigabytes(GB) of memory would randomly disapear. After about a month of using this computer, I had about 100GB of space used up on my drive and I had no idea why the usage was that high. I have downloaded games, music, pictures, and other things, but my memory usage for all of those things would be 10GB max. I was confused as hell and tried running a tool that came with my computer that checks for Hard Disk Errors and fixes them. After running the tool and about an hour and a half of waiting, it was able to free up about 9GB of space, but I still had a lot of space missing. So I decided to just my friend Mr. Google to find out what the deal was and I came to find out Vista's System Restore feature was eating up loads of my space to create restore points. The worst part is, it creates them automatically almost every day and it doesn't even let you know that it's doing it. This is not really a bad thing because if something messes up and you need to restore to an earlier time, you'll have it up and running. I also found out that Vista's default settings are set to use up to 15% of your hard drive's space for its restore points. I have a ~500GB Hard Drive, and I found out that Vista was using up about 75GB to create restore points on my HDD. To free up that space, I simply deleted the restore points that were created and regained all of that wonderful space back.

This is how I deleted the restore points if anyone wants to know:

1. Go to "My Computer"

2. Right click on "C:" or your main Hard Drive which is "C:" by default.

3. Click on Properties

4. Under the "General" tab by the pie chart of your C: Drive click Disk Cleanup

5. Wait for it to finish scanning

6. Click on the "More Options" tab

7. Under "System Restore and Shadow Copies" click the "Clean up..." button

8. Hit delete and you're done

That's how to delete the restore points and free up all of that space, but now you have to change the amount of Disk Space that you want to allow System Restore to use to create its restore points. I changed mine from allowing the max amount of space (~75GB) to only allowing it to use up 5GB of space to create the restore points. Here is a simple tutorial on how to configure this amount, click here to view it. All in all, the less space you give it will lower the amount of restore points you have when you have to do a system restore, but if you know what you're doing on your computer and don't run around downloading everything you see, you won't have to use the System Restore option that often.

I hope this helps someone with these issues, and if it does leave a comment to say thanks.

CAPTCHA Codes

2008-07-28T23:18:00.001-07:00

CAPTCHA codes have been implemented into various websites for security reason, the main one being to stop bots, or automated programs, from performing various tasks like creating multiple accounts, positing multiple times, or trying to login to an account multiple times. This all seems like a good reason to have CAPTCHA codes in use, but the bottom line is CAPTCHA codes are just a plain old dick to have anywhere.

Here are a few examples of how annoying these things can be. Myspace has now implemented these codes all over their site to prevent bots from doing such things as message people, edit profile and group settings, and even post comments. It's cool and all having these to block out bots that spam, but if when can't send a simple message to a friend without having to enter some random word into a box so Myspace can make sure I'm not a bot really pisses me off. Now every time I have to make a change to my layout on a group forum on Myspace, I have to enter some randomly generated text into a box. And since the way Myspace is coded, I have to code my layout through their editor and having to guess and test different positionings of my layout and having to go through the CAPTCHA code every time is just a pain in the ass. Seriously, why would you put this security measure on the editing options? If someone were to hack into my Myspace, which will never happen, and wanted to mess with my layout, they can easily enter the CAPTCHA code in once, delete my whole code, and save it. CAPTCHA is just a waste of the "human" user's time and the "robots" can easily get past them if they wanted to.

It's not just Myspace, Facebook has these shits all over the place too, but it removes them after certain amount of time. If I wanted to setup a bot to add a million users on Facebook by itself it would be pretty easy. First you'd have to add about a hundred users by hand yourself and go through all their CAPTCHA crap a hundred times. After you do that about a hundred times they'll think you're a "human" user and stop giving you the CAPTCHA code to enter so all you have to do now is setup that bot and spam away! Of course I haven't tried using any bots on Facebook yet so I wouldn't know if they have any other security measures, but from I've seen there shouldn't be a problem at getting a bot to work on their site with any big difficulties.

If there's a CAPTCHA code you have to fill in order to sign into an account, the site developers need to seriously learn how to run things differently. The main reason that that CAPTCHA was placed there was to probably stop people from setting up a bot to try to log into your account multiple times. There's a simple solution to this, ban the guy's IP or something after five failed attempts or so. If he's the real owner of the account, there should be a "I forgot my password, please email it to me" link close by that he can use to retrieve his forgotten password.

CAPTCHA codes would be less annoying if they actually give you a word in plain and legible text to type in the box, but most are nothing like that. Many will have weird lines and shapes floating over the text to make sure that you're a "human" and I've seen some on Rapidshare that have cats and dogs hiding in the letters and you have to only enter the letters with the dogs, not the cats. This is probably the most annoying CAPTCHA code I've ran into. Seriously cats and dogs? The cats look just like the fucking dogs and every time you enter it in wrong it seems like they give you a new one that is a lot more difficult to read and pick out than the last one. After a good fifteen tries I finally was able to get it right and finally download my file. Those cAsE-sEnSeTiVe CAPTCHA codes were nothing compared to this abomination.

The bottom line is CAPTCHA codes are a waste of time and space. If you see a CAPTCHA code on a website, post it up here in a comment so I can check it out and maybe write a complaint to the site's tech support center.

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

2008-07-24T23:04:00.000-07:00

I've been using a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse for a few months now, I would say maybe four to five if I had to put a number on it. Anyway, this mouse is a pretty nice mouse and can handle a lot of clicks. It is wired, but then again I prefer wired because this way you won't have to worry about the wireless connection cutting out or your mouse running out of battery. Now let's review some of its features.

It is a laser mouse, not a ball mouse so it is more precise when you drag it around and can be used on any surface unlike the ball mice which really need mouse pads or else they are not as effective. It has extra buttons on the side which you can customize to perform different tasks with the software that comes with the product. It also has three default modes of speed you can choose, and if you have the software installed you can create up to five custom speeds. It has a scroll wheel as well which is pretty nifty. If the speeds aren't enough, you can also slip a weight cartridge into the mouse to balance out the weight. This proves useful if you are playing a game and need to add more weight to steady your sniper's scope, or if you need less weight for faster reflexes and reactions times in a fast paced game.

The design is also pretty nice looking, but this is probably the mouse's only flaw. The design is nice, but the rugged skin around the mouse can be a plus or a minus. It can be for better grip, adding to the mouse's grip design, or the feeling of it can just annoy the hell out of you. I must say I was annoyed with the skin the first few days of use, but after a while you'll get used to it. The skin also starts to wear off after a few months of good use, but the laser pointer's performance itself is still in great shape.

NOTE: I wrote this for another site that was supposed to give me $2 for each post, little did I know they stopped doing that a long time ago, so I quit and posted it here so they can ban me for "copyrighted" content or whatever.

Axe Detailer

2008-07-24T16:27:00.000-07:00

I really don't understand commercials like these. It looks like they are advertising the whole shower system they have installed here with all the hot chicks in latex suits. If that's what they were selling, I'd buy it, but all they have to offer is a simple two-sided shower scrubber. I haven't bought or tried the Axe Detailer, but I'm sure it not different from any other shower scrubber, except maybe this one is black and you don't see many black scrubbers, well at least I don't. It has two sides, big deal.

Anyway if all that mechanical stuff is supposed to portray the future of taking a shower, it failed. As technology grows everything tends to get easier, and taking a shower through a series of robotic powered mechanisms controlled by women doesn't seem very convenient. Don't get me wrong here, I'd love to take a shower in a place full of women, but I'm saying I'm sure they'll probably invent some kind of spray that you can use to clean yourself in the future instead of actually bathing. If some of you out there are going they already have that, it's called Axe deodorant spray, I hope I never meet you in real life. If you are just going to hide your stench with deodorant instead of taking a shower, just stay away from me.

The Dark Knight: My Review

2008-07-22T17:20:00.001-07:00

***This article may contain spoilers.***

I went to see this movie just like any other movie, but not like how everyone else went to see it. There was a huge hype over this movie months before it even opened. There were those Harvey Dent logos and "movements" if you will, around the city advertising the Dark Knight. When the trailers came out people were going crazy over them, especially the Joker. It was unfortunate that the star behind the Joker, Heath Ledger, passed away, but with his last performance as the Joker, I'm sure no one will ever forget how great of an actor he was.

My take on the movie was just like any other movie, I really don't care about it much until I actually go and see it. The heaps of advertising behind it were a waste in my opinion. If the movie is good, and there are fans behind it, they will see it, no need to over do it. I had a friend who was in love with Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, and was driving me crazy trying to get me to watch the trailers. I watched the trailers, and to me the performance was nothing special, even if the actor behind it was alive or dead. After actually seeing the movie, my mind has changed. I do forget, trailers only have some of the good scenes in them, not all. I absolutely loved the Joker's character and performance in that movie His performance was enough to drive Batman out of the movie, if anything the main character of the movie was the Joker himself, with his stellar performance and also probably some hype behind the fact that this was Heath Ledger's last movie.

The opening scene of the movie was one of the best scenes there was. It opened up as a bank job led by the Joker and the enviornment made me think to myself, "Hey, this movie looks badass already. It doesn't look like another shitty comic book superhero movie." His strategy of taking out each of the men he hired one by one so he can take all of the shares was genius. The part with the bus bus killing the last of the men was a great addition/ In my opinion that was one of the best openings I've seen in a movie and I felt bad when I saw a family come in the theater right after the opening scene was over knowing that they've missed possibly one of the best scenes of the movie just because they came in a little bit late.

Despite the characters in the movie, the use of gadgets really got to my liking. The Bat-Mobile looked like it was completely redesigned and the motor-bike detachment feature on it was a nice addition. Just the design itself of the vehicle was enough to get to me, but the extra add-ons really blew my mind on how far you can go. That thing looked like a semi-tank, built strong to last long, but sadly that wasn't the case around the end of the movie. As for Batman's armor itself, well I really can't say it was the best I've seen, but decent nonetheless. The timed bombs and grapples were nice too, but I can't say they haven't been overused in a lot of similar movies.

All in all, if you haven't seen this movie yet, go see it and don't ask questions. It was well worth my money, and it was a decently long movie as well. So get out there and see the Dark Knight, and if you've already seen it please take some time to comment on my review. Thanks.

ABC's Wipeout Review

2008-07-17T20:08:00.000-07:00

A clip from ABC's Wipeout

The Background:

Wipeout is a recently new reality TV show on ABC. Every episode starts out with two dozen contestants who are all looking to win the grand prize of $50,000, but they must first conquer a set number of obstacles and only a handful will be able to compete for the money at the very end.

My Thoughts:

Although I enjoy watching out-of-shape Americans desperately trying to make a quick buck on reality gameshows, this show just doesn't beat some of its other competitors out there. I gotta say the two hosts and their side comments can be pretty funny at times and some of the contestants act like clowns and little girls, but I would much rather enjoy one of the other challenge based shows that are out there.

For starters, you can take a look at Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, MXC, that usually airs on SpikeTV. This show is very similar to Wipeout, but I do not believe the players are playing for any cash prizes, but I could be wrong. Anyway this show can have anywhere up to hundreds of contestants and the way the show lays it out has them split into two teams. The challengers and hosts are all Asian, and I'm sure MXC is just the American version with its own voice-overs and scoring. The show will stage something like the Computer Programming Team vs the Construction Worker Team, or anything random to that extent and the hosts will make funny side comments about the contestant's actions and "wipeouts" during the show just like in ABC's Wipeout. I find this show's obstacle course much more challenging and funnier than that of Wipeout's. If I had to sum it up any simpler, I would say Wipeout makes up all of their obstacles up last minute. If you look at the courses in Wipeout since the first episode that aired, not much has changed, maybe they put some foam on that slide in the last level or changed a jump in the first level, but all in all it's pretty much the same everytime and it gets relatively boring.

Another example of a show similar to these is Ninja Warrior that is shown on G4. This show unlike the two previous ones is not all about laughs and people getting dirty, but about physical fitness and glory. Although there is no cash prize at the end, the select winners, or those that successfully complete all three obstacle courses within the alloted time, will get their names published on a trophy or something of the like for being the only few that ever defeated the course. This show starts with over 100 contestants who will all go through the first obstacle course, but only a select few will actually complete it and move on. At the start of the second course there are usually five or six competitors who would have actually made it, and usually one or two get eliminated by the start of the third course. All in all, it's a great show to watch and see what people are truly capable of.

To sum it up, I would watch these other two shows over Wipeout any day. What do you guys think?
