The WIFE Tag

Right.
DOG Tag.

Sorry?
I'm already bored and quite worried of these silly pieces of "advanced" technology that pretend making every part of your life a hundred times better. In this case, you're shown how clipping some probe to the collar of your pet (the one that ambulates on four legs) makes its management so easier and smarter, so you can keep track (that's the catch phrase) of anything your pet does all day long.
However, not limiting myself to the advised use of the device, my mind immediately explored new dimensions of concept hijacking and came to realize that it was the perfect tool I needed for the wife.
So here's the original video below, and the WIFE transcript version.





Now if this hasn't freaked you out yet, be sure to watch this video.
Yes. If you're normal, your first and I hope final reaction would be: What. The. Hell?
What next? Tag your kids?

Colours are gay... gray I mean



Yes, the d-pad sucked big times, but is it because we live in rather depressing times that everything needs to be about cold and dull shades of brown, blue or gray?
Simply looking at this pad makes me sad.
Oh yes, now you can screw your d-pad to depress it. Yes, I told you, it's all about depression. It makes the cross... err... stick out.

It seems they didn't understand the problem about the d-pad being a cheap and miserable piece of plastic feeling like it was added at the last minute by bored "designers".

Now you got something that just feels like... like what?
Is it Alfred's first take at a batpad?
Or Q's first non lethal non stunning non useful infrared modulated controller?

Chime... funtastic and smooth

If you've played Lumines, you'll surely see where this game is coming from. What Lumines brought to the puzzle game genre as a cross between fine tuned gameplay and a transcendental sensory experience has shattered the industry, and baffled many players.
It also inspired some designers.
But what this game takes from Lumines for the wrapping, takes from the age old principle of piecing up an entire canvas for the substance.
The bonus: it even manages to remind you of Tetris.
Some tunes aren't exactly stellar, and a couple of visual effects might feel overdone at times, but globally the final structure looks solid and well polished. A few hundred MS points are worth it in my opinion. My main criticism is that I'd rather have that kind of game on a handheld.

Jesse Slaughter, coz I ain't got no originalitism

Oh sweet xxxxx.

The Internet is a harsh world. It's wonderful, full of marvels and knowledge, but it's also a dangerous and ruthless place for naive imbeciles. I already said it, I love Internet. It's a revolution, it's liberty, but it's not to be put into the wrong hands, and allowing uneducated people to reach an Internet connection can only get them into trouble and have them suffersome truly disastrous consequences (yes, the true ones)

So, if you don't know about this lil Jesse girl, click here. Miss Kerligirl13 (on Youtube, or Jesse Slaughter in reeeeaaal *sigh*) is an eleven years old (stupid) girl who enjoys wearing tight clothes, struggling to reveal her miserable cleavage, you know, the hot stuff that gives pedophiles a boner, and surely gives her a rightful place on downtown's pavement. Her abundant use of foul language and embarrassing low brow "rhetoric" doesn't help her either (you'll have to torture yourself with the original videos which caused this mess).

Think of the time wasted on 4chan. Geez.



Oh yes, isn't funny? Well, yes it is. But it's also a tragedy. If anything, this should be never forgotten, for the perfect example it provides to the entire planet about the feedback loop effect of the network. It also reminds me of how people terribly underrate their privacy. People are so out of reality (and that would be hundreds of millions of people) that they divulge details of their life for free, the kind of information preyed by massive corporations craving it.
They're laughing at you, dumb people.

It's the acts of such uneducated and irresponsible citizens that provide ammo for all the fascists and wackos who want to block Internet, restrain it. The worst part of it being that her parents have actually no real clue about how to deal with it. They never measured the importance and the nature of their daughter's activities on the web, and they're paying for it, harsh style now. The point is that they didn't give her any good education either, and this deficiency is only being transmitted further along this ill fated lineage. Hopefully, this Jesse something will be able to realize that she has to get off the Internet, hooked junkie that she seems to be, and rethink her life.
Indeed, the consequences will never be the same (that's just a notch behind "all your base are belong to us").
