Zombies make things epic

Take this song. Without the video, it would be just a decent song. With the video, I remembered it from when I first saw it like three years ago.
If normal zombies aren't good enough, make them soviet zombies.
Not fully sure where I was going with this, but watch the video anyway. It is amazing.

Oh dear.

I was watching the news just a few minutes ago, and there was a piece about some penis shaped lollies. Seriously, how pathetic can you get? The news should be full of deaths and wars and other interesting things. Not just some lollies that look like dicks. They could just as easily be half melted as intentionally shaped. Or maybe some chinese factory worker decided to quit and made a few mutant lollies as a fuck you to the company. In the original lolly bag 3 penis shaped lollies were found, and in the next 5 that were searched, only 3 more were found.
a quote: “I just looked over and I just seen my son putting a penis lolly into his mouth,” says his mother, Natasha Vincent.

“He said to me ‘Mummy is that a penis is that a Daddy part’ and I was like ‘yes Tyson’,” she says.

Here is a link to a text version of the story : http://www.3news.co.nz/Jelly-genitalia-causes-a-right-fuss/tabid/423/articleID/197923/Default.aspx

While it is pathetic and not the kind of thing that the news should bother showing, I won't deny it is (very) faintly amusing.

On an unrelated note, watch the program called "An Idiot Abroad". It is most amusing.

Religion

I am going to address this chiefly to the christian church (and it various offspring), but it concerns all other forms too.
My view on religious people is that they are highly gullible. They continue to believe everything the bible says as concrete fact, despite the number of times the church has been proven wrong in the past. Examples of this is the earth being a sphere and the earth going round the sun. So, continuing to believe in what priests and their ilk have to say is like hearing a thrice convicted child molester say "I promise I won't do it again" and believing them.
On the whole, I have no actual problem with religious people, but when they start interfering in other people's affairs it gets annoying. A good example of this is when a church group started protesting outside some poor soldier's funeral service because they believe that god hates the war or something equally stupid. Those silly churchies can believe what they like, but they should at least have the decency to leave people alone while they're attending a funeral.

Look at this.

I am amazed.

PS2 Won't Die

I recently read over on Kotaku that the PS2 isn't dead yet and for an eleven year old console, I suppose that's quite an achievement. I have to wonder though, why games are still being made for it and why people still buy these games, the console is the graphical equivalent of a Wii (correct me if I'm wrong) and alot of the games on the PS2 can be either played on an older version of the PS3 or with a PS2 emulator on the PC. The console costs around $100 (NZD) and the games are around $20 (again in NZD), I suppose the really cheap price could be a major reason it still sells.
I personally think that the PS2 should be finally put to rest so the world can move onto bigger and better games.

Call of Duty

I haven't played many of the CoD games, but I have played the two most popular ones. My thoughts on them are as follows:
1. It's not a bad game.
2. Wait. How come when I get hurt, the screen gets covered in orange juice?
3. Wow, these textures really are bland.
4. Why can I kill people hiding behind a steel wall?
5. There are many things I'd rather be doing than this.

And all through Facebook, I see people liking things such as: Not all boys will treat you badly, not all boys are addicted to Black ops...

And the media hype going on about how it's an amazing game with revolutionary graphics...

Now I really despise it and people who like it. It's got fairly bland gameplay, very high resolution textures of flat white walls and millions of idiots prattling on about how good it is. Now, lets look at a truly good FPS game : Team Fortress 2.

There are 9 unique classes that require completely different strategies to use effectively. For example, there is the Engineer class which has the ability to build teleporters, sentry guns, and health & ammo dispensers. When these buildings are placed effectively, it becomes very difficult to get past. However, if someone uses the demoman class, they can bounce grenades around a corner to destroy the turret.

In addition, there are several choices of weapons/gadgets to choose from, each requiring a slightly different strategy.

I have played this game for well over 60 hours, and am still not at all bored by it. However, after 2 hours I was thoroughly bored of Black ops.

TF2 may not have amazing graphics, but if it's graphics you want, Killzone 2 is by far the best. Just have a quick look at some screenshots from each game, and you can immediately see the difference.

So, why do people buy/play CoD Modern Warfare 2 and Black ops? Simple. Because they are unwilling to try anything else and are too stupid to look for anything else.

Hedgehogs

I saw a hedgehog today. Did you know hedgehogs eat cat biscuits? Here is a haiku on hedgehogs eating cat buiscits:
Hedgehogs like buiscuts
Intended for consumption
By cats not hedgehogs.

It is not a very good haiku.
