I know some guys think women are no better than cattle, but this is just fucking repugnant.
CHANDLER, Ariz. — A Chandler man was arrested for a bizarre crime — police say he branded his initials onto his girlfriend.
I hope his dick gets stuck to a fucking skillet.
It appears my evil plans to stick around and torture people from Norway during the weekend have been foiled by my job. They want me to work full shifts Fri, Sat, and Sun. Oh well, money’s money. I’ll keep posting strange blog stuff though.
Oh, and also day 2 of day 9. Fuck everyone.

I’m enjoying the heatwave rolling through here today. I’ve been drinking V8 and sitting in the front yard just BSing on my laptop. I wouldn’t mind going for a walk but I’m feeling a bit unwell. Hopefully the advil kicks in soon.
I wonder what I’ll do tonight. I’m thinking something involving Serious Sam in some form.
Work was quiet, internet was quiet. I think everyone went out drinking and didn’t invite me. :V
I had a pretty uneventful day. I went for a walk and enjoyed a little bit of sun. Came home and made a nice Italian meal. Some bell pepper pasta with feta cheese, a nice salad with smoked mozzarella, capers, sun dried tomatoes, basil and some balsamic vinegar and finished it off with some chocolate Marsala wine custard.
I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately for some old school gaming. I’ve been enjoying the old id Software games, especially Heretic. I only had the demo when I was a kid, and I’m finally glad I got my hands on the full version. It’s been extremely fun to play. Sometimes you just can’t beat the classics.
During the SNews thing I was running with some people I attempted to partner with a group called Just a Gaming Blog (you can see their link over in my partners section). I’ve recently gotten back together with them and have been lending a hand writing some material for them. I may even simulcast some of my videos over there.
This time around they’re off to a good start! People have come together to write about some interesting stuff. I’m surprised at the amount of Linux gaming threads that can be found. Pretty cool stuff. So give them a read and if you like them, subscribe via wordpress or RSS.
Well, my final day went smoothish, although I had one crazy lady who wanted me to get her an EXACT matching pair of pants for a sweater, I mean exact as in no difference in shade whatsoever. She was in a hurry as most old ladies are and her husband was waiting on her downstairs. After about 5 minutes of not having any luck and only finding things off by a shade I told her three times (because she’s old and seemed to be incoherently nodding her head uncontrollably) that she wasn’t going to have much luck.. She threw the stuff at me and said she’d shop somewhere else. How badly I wanted to yell GOOD.
I thought the worst part was over, but I was wrong. I got a call from one of my relatives in Spokane. For one of them to call me at work long distance means something is wrong. I thought maybe my grandfather was finally on his deathbed, but it was worse than what I suspected. One of my uncles passed away at the age of 50. That was super depressing. I had to keep my mind off of it, and with the amount of work I had it wasn’t too difficult. As long as I didn’t talk about it I would be fine. So for the first couple of hours after getting home I wasn’t very responsive. I didn’t know him as well as I knew my other relatives, but whenever I did get the chance to see him he was a pretty cool guy. I remember when he came over and visited me while I slept over at my Grandma’s when I was 14. Then of course when I was 8, going over to his house and watching him play DOOM, and telling him about all the fun mods I had (like the Barney the dinosaur replacement for the pinky demons and the Sam Kinison sound replacement for the lost souls), yep… even back then I was obsessed with game modding.
I have to say I didn’t see this coming. I’m truly stunned about it. I got home tonight and instead of drinking to forget this pisstastic work week I ended up drinking one in his memory… Then I played a little TF2 to get my mind off it, and had a little Miso Ramen.
I hope tomorrow is better.
One thing I can’t stand in any arena, albeit real life or gaming is bullying. Especially cyber bullying which in some ways can be worse than regular bullying. A regular bully has to confront you face to face, while a cyber bully is usually some socially awkward pimple faced douchecanoe who dwells deep within their mom’s basement, trolling teh internetz with creamed jeans and a cheetos stained crotch (you’re welcome for the visual btw). These people take to the internet and use it as their soap box to preach all kinds of stupid unto the web, where they gather followers in the pursuit of freedumb.
But enough about that. Lets get to the whole reason why I’m even writing this up in the first place. I follow a blog called Not In The Kitchen Anymore where a gamer shares pictures and audio of guys who instantly turn into knuckle dragging cavemen at the sign of a female. Recently she has received quite a bit of a backlash.
On July 26th, I was playing Black Ops 2 on my Xbox 360. Another player in the lobby took issue with me being there, and basically started attacking me over my gender. He kept asking if I was on my period, implying that I was fat or a lesbian, and making jokes like “Hey, ya’ll know why uh, women shouldn’t have drivers licenses? Cuz there’s no highway between the bedroom and the kitchen.” It’s all documented in this entry.
It started off light, then it just got outright creepy.
After the match concluded, he sent me a text message that said “slizzy” (which is, apparently, slang for “slut”). I replied, “Keep digging yourself into a hole dude.” He then proceeded to send me a voice message that said, “I’m gonna impregnate you with triplets and make you have a very late term abortion. Strict mental abuse. Hahaha.”
The responses to this weren’t much better.
So, when did pointing out peoples stupidity become crying for help? She has the right idea recording these nimrods and posting their responses. More people (women, men, anyone having some kind of sexist or racial issue) should look into this method just in case some wanker comes about to leave a steaming pile. I’m all for putting peoples stupidity on public display.
Heck, even I do that. Although on PC it can be more fun (depending on the game of course). I run a bunch of servers for my group that are available for the public, being that they’re public it obviously means that anyone is welcome to join. If the person who happens to join is being a thorn in someones side (ruining the gameplay, or just being a horses arse) it merits some fun admin trolling followed by a permaban. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way everywhere, resulting in examples such as the ones this gamer is going through.
These games just keep getting more and more real. AMD and Mixamo are partnering up to create a realtime 3D animation plugin for the Unity engine so that future games can have more realism in them! Check out the video:

Of course the software is a tad pricy. Weighing in at $1499 according to the author of the video. Which sounds expensive but actually gives you access to Mixamo’s Auto-Rigger and 3D animation library for one entire year. Which to me is still pricy but still pretty awesome.
