Smash Bros. Info Lock-Down

Sigh, so if you haven't see the new notice on Smash Bros. Dojo, go ahead and read it for yourself now. If you don't feel like it, basically, Smash Bros was just released in Japan today and, in turn, the Dojo is changing the nature of its info releases. Starting next week, the daily info releases will be about secret characters, modes, and stages. So if you want to maintain the awe of the secrets, you basically can't go to the Dojo.

So, I am requesting that we put the Last Blog on a code red info lockdown about Smash Bros. I don't want to hear the secrets at all (as much as I do) so if you continue going to the Dojo or accidentally wander into a Wikipedia spoiler, as I am sure I will, please don't mention it on the blog in any way that would blow the secret. Thanks guys.

I woke up this morning...

Ok, so when I woke up this morning, 1 question popped into my mind, for some reason. It is a question everybody has asked, though very few people know. Possibly because the truth isn't shocking or really frightening, just a little sad. Can you get a tattoo on your dick. The answer... well look through this list of really bad tattoos. Obviously it's not safe for work, although it's only because of maybe one or two pictures related to the aforementioned subject.

Outside of the originial question behind this search, there really is some quality, hillarious stuff. It makes me wonder if people really realize that tattoos are permanent.

Why I Love America

Oh Spam, you silly devil.

At work I have to go through my Junk mail every few days. Don't want clients' ads getting thrown out now do we? As a result I am forced to skim over a quadrillion ads for penis enlargement, stocks, pharmacies and such. Every once in a while I come along subjects that just make me laugh. Here are a few from just today's browsing:

Skeleton Unreal
They are constantly, slowly, killing me and then sucking the life out of me.
Almost everyone we spoke to said 'My God, that sounds difficult.
undertow self-consciously
There will be no more room in your pants once you try this
A Dream is a Wish
Righteous software - righteous price
The easy and LAZY way to make profits.
Try this and you're welcome in the world of s'e_xual giants!
No need to apply to surgery!

Everyday Superhero

We haven't had much good discussion in while so I thought I'd put out something.

If you could have a super power, but it had to be a minor type super power related to simplifying your life or cleaning or whatever like that, what would your super power be.

Just some examples I came up with:

Organization Vision - Allows you to switch into a mode of vision in which objects are color coordinated by the group you might want to put them into.

Cleaning Glands - A series of glands in you arms that spray various cleaning solutions: febreeze, windex, bleach, etc.

Vacuum Feet - your feet are vacuums...?

Ok, well if you come up with any good ones, just jot em down and tell us all. Also, which of yours would you prefer. I for one would be helped greatly by Organization Vision.

Sesame Punk....with sprinkles...

Despite the horrific homosexual rumors and tendencies that are spread throughout the community about these two, I know for a fact that they can still rock their faces off!

One creepy ass hoax... assuming it is a hoax

So my sister sent me this link from youtube. Definitely check it out.



From my preliminary research, it's almost assuredly a manipulation of other events, but still. It is a little too close to reality for me to feel comfortable with it.

MMO Psychology Drop-Kick

I was looking up something about MMOs. Wait, what was I looking up. Crap, I hate how wikipedia gives you information that you are impressed with to the point that you forget what you were orginally looking up. Anyways, I found out that there have been a number of behavioral studies of people while playing them. One particular researcher came up with 4 classes of players based on game mentality. Another researcher then created a simple 30 question test which, with relative accuracy, can determine which type of player you are. You see where this is going.

I know we all don't have the same experience and interest in MMOs, so just answer the questions in terms of what you think you would do. Below is a wikipedia link with further info on the 4 types. Try to take the test before you look up the types to get a more truthful result.

The Horrors of Tech Support

For my first post I thought I should make you all aware of the very real horror that is associated with providing Technical Support over the phone. While the example that I provide you with today is somewhat extreme, I thought it was still valid and should give your mind a good starting point.

Note: This is not my call, nor do I work for Dell.

THE MOTHERLOAD

I like stupid videos. I really like stupid videos. Behold the motherload. For example:

http://www.maniacworld.com/Skittles-Touch.html

Just check out the site in general, it seems to have a lot of amazing things.

P.S. Has anybody seen that Skittles commercial before? I haven't but maybe it's because I hardly watch TV and don't have cable.

What do you call a magazine on the internet?

So basically, the Neely obsession led me to this place: http://chiefmag.com/

Seems like a pretty cool little place with artist interviews and such sort of such. Just for their rep, they have a Brad Neely interview AND, when I went to their frontpage, there was this:



Shit, nuff said bitches. One

Re: Star Calibur

Why this is almost a topic worth blogging about! Like when does a franchise hit the right note by branching out into other franchises and when is it just cross-over kill.

Obviously Smash's original concept of Nintendo fighters is gold and is now going f-ing platinum by having sweet non-Nintendo characters like Snake and Sonic. Soul Calibur 2's was very hit or miss. Link-Cool. Heihachi-Huh?, Spawn-Fuck You Todd. Though I did like that each character was on a logical system. Spawn being on the Xbox is almost too perfect.

I'll come up with more later, but one I really liked was the Halo Spartan in Dead or Alive 4. I only saw it once but I read about the genesis of her creation and why it's not Master Chief and it was a really cool idea.

That thing I was talking about...

You might've already seen it, but remember the time I talked about that skit on Whitest Kids... Well, I found it.

http://www.ifc.com/series?aId=21510

From there go to Episode 106. It is called "I want to kill the president." On a related note, you should also check out episode 105, "John Wilkes Booth," and, on a related note to that one, Episode 101, "Abraham Lincoln."

Enjoyment will ensue, I know it. Also I pre-ordered SMash Bros... It's nice having a Gamestop within 5 minutes.

LOL WTF?

I knew you'd dig on Olimar. But you know what newly introduced characters are really brain frying insaneo?

P.S. After my bout of STD Games, I decided to pick up some No More Herpes. I feel better. Though I heard from the doctor that you caught a nasty case of Soul Clamydia IV. Damn shame.

Only 1 month until Brawl and they finally dropped Olimar

Oh man. So, I am getting ever increasingly frothy about Smash Bros Brawl, especially seeing as it is exactly one month from release. That is, if it doesn't get pushed back or changed around or any of that. Anyways, to commemorate my over-excitement I am sending my Wii number to everyone who I know has a Wii. Dan and Andrew, my assumption is that you are Wii type of guys. Mi numero de Wii es

3277 0993 8627 0929

Ok, so you guys should post yours as well. And Marcello, nobody loves you or wants your Wii number. Especially seeing as I am afraid that just having it in my system might cause the spread of one of your heinously disgusting VGDs (Metal Gear Syphilus... gross). That's it I guess.

P.S. can any of you all wave dash?

BLARGH a lot!

I've been so busy lately, I've barely even had time to think about this blog. Between it being busy at work, the holidays, my dad being sick, hanging out with friends and everything else I'm just too exhausted to even think about anything poignant to write. I hope it slows down a little this month because I'm moving (though not very far) in february and that is never relaxing. The most chill thing I've done lately is play Mario Galaxy. It's a little easy, but I'm kind of enjoing that and the game is just so gorgeous to look at. The style along with the unique and quirky platforming aspect make it a breath of fresh air.
