Pet Peeves #1
Jun/090
When it’s exam week and your bus decides to not show up until a half hour later.
It’s not a very reliable transport in the first place, but this is the only time of year where if you’re late, you’re fucked.

Why I Hate Gears of War 2
Apr/093
Actually, I don’t hate it, I just don’t like the multiplayer at all. It’s a similar scenario with Call of Duty 4, I loved the single-player campaign, but I didn’t quite catch on to the multiplayer as far as everyone else.
Gears 1 is all around my favourite multiplayer game of all time, and I’m going to say this because they use a host-based system where you can choose the quality of connection you want to establish between yourself and the other players. Once you’re in the game, you may notice the fact that people don’t play for rank, but rather for fun and for bloodsport. There’s no ranking system anyway, there’s literally no difference between the ranked playlists and the unranked playlists; except for the weapon sets. The entire game is pretty balanced too, players rely on skill and not cheap tactics.
Sure you get kicked for little or no reason most of the time, but you do get more time in playing good quality matches as opposed to shit matchups that happen 95% of the time in Gears 2. Plus, the chainsaw is way too overpowered in Gears 2; in fact there have been three title updates to increase the chainsaw’s angle. Currently the angle is almost set to 180 degrees.
So I’m the one accumulating kills with my shotgun and sniper and my fate is always by the revving blades of the chainsaw bayonet. I can’t do anything about this because apparently my bullets don’t stop them from charging towards me. And about chainsaw dueling, get ready to replace your controller because chances are your B button will no longer work after applying the equivalent force of a jackhammer in order to win. Since when were guitar hero minigames an acceptable game mechanic? Seriously, it’s like a recurring trend in every video game.
Don’t even get me started with the smoke grenade.
So yeah, enough with this bullshit, I’m going to quit the game and play something less aggravating. OH WAIT, I CAN’T LEAVE BECAUSE THEY TREAT IT LIKE SIN.
Oh well at least there’s the co-op and single-player, the only thing that restrains me from trading it in for store credit.
Fat Chicks on Oc Transpo

So about a week ago I rode on the rush hour bus home, when I encountered an extremely obese woman sitting in the special row. She (it?) spread across two and a half seats on the bus. What. The. Fuck. I have never encountered a human being this obese in 12 years. Here is an eight-year-old’s artistic depiction of the monstrosity that everyone had to witness:
I’m tired of the silly excuses, “I was born with a bad metabolism”, “I eat when I get nervous”, “The camera adds 50 pounds” (Then stop eating cameras!). Maybe if you stood up once in a while perhaps you would lose just a bit of weight. No, wait, bad idea…
Anon Hits LCI with Mudkips
Apr/093
I’ve had my fair share of /b/ at the school I go to, but this guy definitely doesn’t know rule #1.
At the front of the school this morning there was a wide banner of graffiti stretched across the entire length of the school written: “I like mudkips… DO YOU?” and beside it “SO I HEARD YOU LIKE MUDKIPS… {WANKERS!}”. It’s the fact that it says ‘wankers’ that isolates it to one of the only English /b/tards in the school. He participates in countless anon meetings, protests against scientology, and is obsessed with recalling as many memes as anyone possibly can. Although I do think it does liven up the school a bit, I think he’s gone a little to far.
Typically, the school I go to is filled with asians with a heavy obsession with academics and 4chan, we have had incidents in the past where the school doors were sprayed pink on breast cancer week, and above it read “SCHOOL CLOSED DUE TO AIDS”. All I can say is fail.
I’m Back
Apr/092
Well it’s been a lazy couple of months and I finally managed to get the blog started again, I hope to have more original content this time. Keep in mind though, I might change the theme up a lot, there’s a couple of elements that need some tweaking, and I don’t like the layout for the comments and such. Also I’m going to sort my posts into categories this time, to keep things organized. Somehow I get the feeling that people don’t like searching for what they want to look at.
I plan on writing my next post today or tommorow.
