Fable!

Well, I bought Fable yesterday, and started playing it today. So far, I think its pretty damn good. The graphics are great, the voice acting is decent, along with the rest of the sound. Combat is actually pretty fun. It is basically a hack and slash, but that doesn't really matter to me. Your character has no trouble taking on a group of enemies, mainly because he can swing a sword like nobody's business. The magic is pretty cool. It's fun to toast a bandit with a fireball, and then beat him with a sword. :)

Since you start out as a child, in your hometown, you can only do but so much. Anyways, the first thing I did when I was free to roam my little village, which is called Oakvale, I beat the holy fucking SHIT out of a chicken. It was hilarious. The character kicks the chicken like a soccer ball, and feathers go flying. Oddly enough, the chickens don't die, no matter how many times you kick them. It's also funny to hit a random little kid, and they say something like "Hey, what was that for!?" or something to that effect.

My biggest complaint so far is how fast the game goes by. I have only played for about an hour and thirty-nine minutes, and I am an adult already! Of course, I could have held it off and roamed around the Guild hall where you train, but.. oh well.

Oh! I also bought a copy of the Transformers Movie! Sure, its from 1986, but it's still a hell of a good movie. I found a used copy after digging through all of the used DVD shelves at GameStop. =D! I also got a copy of Call of Duty: United Offensive. I haven't played it too much, but it is pretty badass. Since I am on the talk of games, I installed the Tribes: Vengeance multiplayer demo today too. Holy hell, is that game fun! You're limited to four maps, but oh well. Using the Grappler is just sweet, since you can swing all over the place, provided the map has the appropriate terrain. I think I may buy the full version.

Hmm.. what else. I think that is about all I have to say for right now. So until next time, goodnight!

Asskissing gives you better results than hardwork!

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about these people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to these meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%

How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions.

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H A R D W O R K

8+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K N O W L E D G E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A T T I T U D E

1+20+20++9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And:

B U L L S H I T

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, Look how far ass kissing will take you.

A S S K I S S I N G

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that whilst hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it's the bullshit and ass kissing that will put you over the top.



I found this while surfing Slashdot today. The comment I found it in is located here. I found it to be quite funny. :)

Jesus Christ...
I saw the Berg execution video the other night. My friend from work told me it was gruesome, and damn was he right. It was completely disgusting. I hope we find and kill all the animals responsible for this shit. You could also blame Bush for this, because without Bush's stupid little war, that guy would be at home, with his family, with his head still on. That's my take on it, anyways.

Schweet. I added a new graphic over on the right to my blog. If you're against Bush, check out the site I got the graphic from, The Pledge '04.

Work tomorrow is going to be interesting to say the least. One of our managers left for a couple months this week, so we're getting some replacement guy named Bill. He better be an alright manager, and not Bill the Bitch. -_-

And holy fuck, tonight was hilarious. After work, me and two of my friends were in the parking lot goofing around. There is an abandoned car in the parking lot that has been sitting there for damn near a fucking year. There's old violation notices on it, and the inside of it is filled with trash. The damn car has been beaten, shot with a pellet gun, kicked, spit on, rained in, snowed in, had trash thrown in it, and all kinds of stuff. Surprisingly, it hasn't been towed away yet. I'm not sure why, but anyways. I pointed out that it looked like someone hit the trunk of it with a baseball bat, and my friend comes running over and kicks the car, putting a dent in the door panel. My other friend then threw his drink into the car through the back window. Since there was a shopping cart out there nearby, I suggested that my friend shove the cart into the car. He slammed it against the rear bumper, but it didn't do anything. Then he ran about 30 feet across the parking lot with the shopping cart and let it SLAM into the side of the car. A beer bottle that was in the cart went flying up and landed about 20 feet away. We fucking cracked up so bad. My friend rammed the cart into the car again, and we laughed again. I got the bright idea of putting the shopping cart on top of the car, so my two friends ran over there and lifted the cart onto the car. It didn't stay up there though, and it crashed onto the ground. I'm disappointed it didn't, but oh well. Afterwards we all ran off to get away from the "scene", if you will. One friend ran back into work, I got in my truck and drove off, as did my other friend. Hopefully we'll have some more stupidly good times soon.

More troops?
Bleh. What the fuck. According to this article over at CNN, the Pentagon plans to deploy 10,000 active duty soldiers along with 37,000 National Guard and Reserve troops. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. After all, we're going to be over there for quite a while. Even though the plan is to transfer power to an Iraqi council or something in June, we're going to have to stay there to maintain the peace and shit. That means more of our troops will be coming home in body bags. All because Bush had to go after Iraq, because they were "so dangerous." In the words of Chris Rock, "If they're so dangerous, how come it only took two weeks to take over the whole fucking country? You couldn't take over Baltimore in two weeks!" They weren't dangerous! Bush and Co. only wants the oil. Fuck Bush. I'm voting for John Kerry in November.

I added a way to post comments to my blog. Yay me.

Hmm. Not too much to post right now. There was a hot ass blonde girl that came into work tonight. She was like, daaaamn.

I just now finished installing Mozilla Firefox, and I must say, it is a rather nice browser. I like how it blocks pop-ups on a default installation.

I heard Michael Jackson was formally indicted. Jesus Christ, can't we just be done with this guy? Lock him away somewhere and let that be that. I mean, nobody fucking cares about Michael Jackson anymore. If he had just stayed a black man, and not turned into a white woman, he'd have been okay. :-)

And in other news I've heard recently, people are attacking John Kerry's credibility as a "war hero" in the Vietnam War. I don't care if he's a war hero or not, he'll be better for us than Bush is. I'm voting for Kerry when the time comes. Hell, I'd vote for a fucking chimpanzee if it meant getting Bush out of office. ... Fuck, wait a minute. We already have a chimp in the White House. Isn't it amazing how much Bush looks like a monkey? Now if only we could smack him with a banana and make him go away... All I know is, if Bush is re-elected, or should I say, steals the White House again, then we're going to be in so much more trouble than we are now. Most people don't like the United States anymore. Because of Bush's stupid fucking war, our troops are dying damn near every day. Its such bullshit. I'll be glad when we can get out of Iraq, but that'll probably be a long ways off. Sigh.

Like the picture of Arnold over there? =D
