Early Morning Open Thread
Lets see… Someone at work left porn on in the breakroom tonight, I made a delicious cheese and sausage soup with toast, I kicked greifer ass tonight with someone, and later on today will be my Friday.
Shit is lookin’ good.
“The Pheed” Another stupid ass piece of shit networking service.
So if you haven’t heard there is a new twitter thingamabob called The Pheed. See? It’s spelled with a Ph! That instantly makes it 1337 and $h!t. Because we just can’t get enough of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr Google plus or whatever the phuck else there is. Oh, and MySpace because surprisingly there are at least 5 people still using that.
But what sets this service apart from others? You can either use it for free or pay a monthly fee, or on a pay-per-view basis priced between $1.99 to $34.99. Pheed takes half of the revenue to cover bandwidth and storage.
What amazes me is that you can already do this with regular blogging. You can get a blogspot or a wordpress for free, or find a webhost like I’m using and host it by yourself for cheap, and the best part is that you can essentially do whatever the hell you want. Unlike these places where limitations are presented.
Phucking Sheeple. I guess I can add this to the ever expanding list of social networks I’ll never be joining.
Early Morning Open Thread.
So during my break I was shopping for binders. Couldn’t find any that fit me at all. Too fucking small.
Headphone review: Audio Technica’s ATH-AD700
With the cable for my Creative Fatal1ty dying out after years of abuse I have decided to look into a professional set of headphones to game with. So I present to you the ATH-AD700.
Yes, they’re girly looking… Get over it. These headphones are extremely light. Aluminum based with a honeycomb design so that your ears can breathe. If you have a very small head though you might have issues wearing them. I happen to have a large noggin and they happen to fit quite perfectly.
These do not keep sound in. If you are purchasing these for an mp3 player or plan on using them on your laptop in public other people will hear you. These are designed for studios or home recording. So if you’re trying to watch porn with the volume turned up your wife will hear it on the other side of the room with excellence.
Another thing people complained about was the lack of bass, which for a moment I thought I was going to be stuck with. I listened to YouTube which sounded rather flat, but that’s to be expected. YouTube audio sucks. I decided to play with my audio settings on my Creative XFi Elite Pro and got a decent amount of bass. It’s not the headphones that suck, it’s your sound system. Stop using onboard audio for fucks sake. It DOES make a difference.
They average around $100 to $130, and can be connected directly to your soundcard without any extra attachments. Although it does come with an adapter in case you want to plug in directly with your equipment for other things (which I happen to be using in my XFi Breakout Box).
These get the Overlord’s seal of approval. They are indeed nice cans…. and headphones. Giggity.

Korean Slackers in Civ5 Tram!
I recently downloaded the new Civilization and Scenario Pack: Korean and Wonders of the Ancient World for Civilization 5 on Steam, and had lots of fun so far! First, I whooped the Wonders of the Ancient World’s butt, then I moved on to the Korean Scenario, which was considerably more difficult. After trying it a few times as China, I figured out that bum rushing a few boats out to attack the incoming Japanese was the way to go. I was able to eliminate several boats and save one Korean city from being taken over by the incoming Japanese, which was totally great!
After winning the Korean Scenario in less than 100 turns and earning the Seoul Power achievement, I decided to try my hand as Sejong, leader of the Korean civilization. Just for fun, I named all of my cities after meh Slackin’ friends! Wheeees! There’s fibawland, Badlands, Bongoland, LunaLandingTram, Adam’s Apple, and, of course, at the center of it all is the House of Tomala! I even had 71 smiley faces – Yays!
As you can see, I really enjoyed the Korean upgrades, and it would be a fine addition to anyone’s Civ collection tram!!!!
Haz all the funz out there tram!!!!! Yays!!!
