A picture is worth a thousand words. But was it really worth $3999.95?

Being that I am a gamer, I get double lolz out of this post over at balloon-juice.

In memory of Andrew Breitbart who passed away not long ago. Patriot Depot had this picture up for sale. Oil painted on a canvas for a nice low price of $3999.95 each:

Majestic. I mean, he looks like he has baby hands but majestic. A few people did manage to purchase these too. But then it seems someone recognized the armor from a particular game.

So not only is it an expensive piece of photoshop, it’s also a copyright violation.  People recognized the bit of armor and contacted Ubisoft. Not long after that the websites that promoted the picture were eventually taken down. Who would have guessed?

 

Update

It seems the news has broken over at Kotaku.

Early Morning Open Thread

Weather was excellent yesterday, on my day off no less! Went out and got a little bit of sun. Went to the park, got an ice cream cone. Simplistic but good summer day. Then came home and did some photoshop and sourceSDK work (if you can’t tell by looking on the right at my steam card). Think I’ll save the premiere pro stuff for after work tomorrow evening.

There. One post where I don’t complain about anything!

Say apple!

Tonight I came home to an interesting article about the human brain and apple products.

In a recently screened BBC documentary, UK neuroscientists suggested that the brains of Apple devotees are stimulated by Apple imagery in the same way that the brains of religious people are stimulated by religious imagery.

People have often talked about “the cult of Apple”, and if a recent BBC TV documentary is to be believed, there could be something in it.

My friend Yutram and I once did a goof off podcast together where we talked about the religious symbolism of digital products (Microsoft, Linux, Mac etc) and at the time I thought figured Apple represented purgatory. Why purgatory? Because Steve Jobs never wanted you to leave his walled garden.

Steve Jobs sure trued to get people to take a bite out of that apple too…

Fun with overclocking!

Been Overclocking the hell out of my i52500k the last couple days. I’m currently running it at 4.0 GHZ (Factory setting is 3.3) and getting a big improvement in rendering. I rendered one clip at 3.3 and it took about 35 seconds. Overclocked to 4.0 and got down to 20 seconds. Best of all the hottest temp the processor got up to was 115F. Added the ThermalTake Frio to the case and so far it’s done a brilliant job keeping everything nice and cool. At idle right now it’s between 95 and 102 F.

I’m happy with the results anyway. 🙂

“No more Mr Nice Guy”

Stumbled upon this site and lmao’d.

Here are my favorite nut pickin’s

Did you ever notice that only a woman can talk about the superiority of her own sex without getting booed or scolded?

He has a point there. Men never do this. Never in my life have I ever seen men talk about themselves as being the super ultra mega superior gender. I mean seriously. To suggest otherwise is nothing more than a fairytale.

Did you ever notice there is no shortage of excuses and tolerance whenever sexist speech or behavior comes from a woman? And did you ever notice that any woman who claims to be concerned about “inequality” usually manages to studiously ignore (or angrily deny) the inequalities that favor her?

Ah you mean like how men also try to ignore inequalities that favor them? C’mon you’re gonna have to try a little harder than that! 🙂

Finding ways to talk about those (and other) things is probably one reason you’re here. If you’re a first-time visitor, before you start going all mad at me and sending death threats and hate mail, you should start-off by reading: why I think U.S. women rank among the most sexist humans on the planet, the Top 10 Criticisms I’ve gotten so far… my self-introduction and last but not least, my explanation for why I started this site and why I’ve chosen exile from American gals.

So you’re off the American market then. Nice to see the property values have gone up. 🙂

This page is about, essentially, why NiceGuy thinks Ameriskanks (mostly) Suck *. Such as: their extreme and gleeful sexism. Their accompanying denials of their sexism.

IOW what you’re doing right now. 🙂 r u a girl?

This page is about, essentially, why NiceGuy thinks Ameriskanks (mostly) Suck *. Such as: their extreme and gleeful sexism. Their accompanying denials of their sexism. Their head-games. Their double-standards and double-speak. Their massive and despicable hypocrisies. Their verbal abuse. Their thanklessness. Their narcissism. Their lies within lies within lies. Their never-ending, sanctimonious victimhood mentality. The bigotry they thinly-disguise as “humor”. Their mouthy temper-tantrums. Their “I want everything whether I deserve it or not” attitude. Their unceasing complain-a-thons. Their demands to be continuously pampered and showered with money. The fact that they will spread their legs for a man who gives them enough jewelry, yet will deny their obvious whoring. Their convenient blindness to the fact that they scapegoat men and screw-over men constantly. Their knee-jerk denials whenever it comes time to evaluate their own flaws in an honest fashion. How they’ll complain of men failing to express their emotions while simultaneously ignoring male emotions with smarmy cries of “take it like a maaaayaaan!” The fact that they routinely behave outrageously unfairly towards men yet always demand that men treat them fairly… Did I miss anything?

You didn’t describe women. You just described everyone in the GOP. Well done.

As for the Ameriskanks between the ages of 16 and 35, they occupy a special place in my heart. If you’ve ever met any, then you’ve probably come-away with the impression that they’re (mostly) hopelessly spoiled, incurably psychotic, compulsively mendacious, irredeemably corrupt and intrinsically toxic human beings.

Oh flattery will get you everywhere. 😉

That’s why I moved-away from ’em: I get quite a bit of comfort from knowing I have distanced myself safely beyond the reach of their vile claws. And nowadays I simply view those trolls with a mixture of bemusement and contempt. Especially since quite a few of ’em seem to believe they’re “oppressed” because they get whistled-at occasionally and the Barbie dolls are too curvy. (Pathetic, but true!)

Yeah, that whole paycheck fairness act that didn’t pass in congress wasn’t women getting oppressed. It was to protect small businesses from going under. Sorry ladies. Someone has to suffer so it might as well be you. But don’t worry, you’re just as equal as men are!

When you come to a country like Japan, the egregious hypocrisy and nastiness of Ameriskanks comes-out in spades. For instance: if you ever call an Ameriskank a “slut”, they’ll explode in fury. “Why is it when a woman asserts her sexuality, she’s a slut?!” they’ll screech. But when they come to Japan they’ll see foreign men with Japanese girlfriends and get angry because they’re not the center of attention anymore. So they’ll start to grumble that Japanese women must be a bunch of sluts(!) Hilarious.

Ah, now we come to the part where we pull data from another country to make the point they’re failing miserably to complete. SSDD

And “Where are the REAL men?” they’ll demand, while wearing their Wonderbras, mascara and lipstick. “Why aren’t there any REAL men left?” they’ll whine, with their hair-extensions and acrylic nails. Utterly moronic.

Sigh I really wish you would stop talking about the GOP in that manner. Not all of them are like that.

Ok, I can’t read anymore of this. I need to get back to doing my usual nerd stuff.

Make babies or get acid thrown in your face

Apologies for fewer posts again. Between my internet crapping up and my webhost being hard to get to I’ve been having to cope.

But back to blogging! Lets start with this article that showed up in my RSS (Really Stupid Shit) feed today.

Today he found one hell of a winner. He’s one of the many types that believe that women don’t need to be educated, their vaginas give them the honor of staying home and making babies! To not do so means that they are missing out on a wonderful thing, something that only men understand… not women.

[E]ducating women is strongly correlated with reducing their disposition and ability to reproduce themselves. Educating them tends to make them evolutionary dead ends. … 40% of German women with college degrees are childless. Does PZ seriously wish to claim that not reproducing is intrinsically beneficial to women?

I like how they have to pull numbers from another country to make their point, when they’re claiming most of the problem is with American women. So lets go get some numbers from Germany! Are they true though? You normally provide links to facts such as those…

[R]aising girls with the expectation that their purpose in life is to bear children allows them to pursue marriage at the age of their peak fertility, increase the wage rates of their prospective marital partners, and live in stable, low-crime, homogenous societies that are not demographically dying. It also grants them privileged status, as they alone are able to ensure the continued survival of the society and the species alike. Women are not needed in any profession or occupation except that of child-bearer and child-rearer, and even in the case of the latter, they are only superior, they are not absolutely required.

Yes, as soon as they start their period marry them off! Some girls start their periods rather early (even before becoming a teen), just marry them off and make them into mini baby machines. God bless the south.

Also if you read the article you’ll see that it’s perfectly acceptable to harm and maim women who don’t resign themselves to being nothing more than baby making machines.

The comments at the original blog (not at the manboobz blog but at the one he’s quoting from) are hilariously stupid. Although there was a white knight that came in there and made the mistake of providing fact, he was quickly shot down by one of the resident HeMen and the masturbaters of the universe. Which reminds me of an old saying, never argue with an idiot. Here is one of my favorites:

Neither are men. Women proved they could mostly replace us during wars.

I forget that women invented the atom bomb, radar, sonar, jet engines, and rockets…

the vital work that men do is invent things that increase the standard of living for the entire planet…women do not…

Can’t tell if sarcasm or if they’re a total fucking moron. Both?

Quite honestly I think it’s more of a fear that they have.”A girl” could be smarter than them, and that’s just wrong. Like so many other things these people continue to be afraid of. What’s funnier is a study I heard about years back. Women become smarter after giving birth. They’re pretty much fucked either way I guess.
