To quote the good sir Keith Peters: ”I like how they think flash = bad, but html5 will do everything flash does, but html5 will be good. Huh?”

License to be a douchebag (an Apple story)
It’s that time of the year again. You know, that time when Microsoft releases another operating system or other high-profile product, and Apple breaks out their douchebag license in order to be first in line with the water balloons to spoil the party. In other words, it’s time for another Apple-related rant.
Oh fuck you Tecmo

Oh Tecmo. Seriously. Fuck you, you god damn imbeciles. You’re sitting on one of the best action adventure properties of the modern world, and you resort to this shit. You stupid motherfuckers. Watch me Ninja the eff away from your brand.
A darker, edgier Disney
This is just fucking tragic. Warren Spector, you’re one of my absolute game design heroes. Why’d you have to go and do this:
Merely concept art, this stuff is nonetheless absolutely abominable. I would love to see stuff like this on Deviantart, but as a visual guideline for a Mickey game? A post apocalyptic steampunk Disney [...]
So Roger Ebert ran my letter…
… where i basically complain that every single time a movie critic looks for a way to describe a film as soulless or shallow they grab for the video game comparison. Call it a pet peeve, because it is. I can’t stand it. At the very least quantify your comparison; call it a BAD video [...]
For the love of god, don’t pay to see Disaster Movie
Two names. Pay attention.
Jason Friedberg
Aaron Seltzer
Together these two men have, reportedly, “skewered” the creative product of other human beings since 1996 through movies like Spy Hard, Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the spartans.
Drink that in. Breathe it. I don’t consider myself a conoisseur of comedy, but i definitely have a sense of [...]
Timbaland is a thief, AND an asshole
Whoo-ee this just keeps getting better.
If you’re not up to speed on this; watch this.
Done? Here’s Timbaland’s response.“It’s from a videogame, idiot. Freakin’ jerks”It’s around the 6 minute mark.Not enough for you? Well.
from mtv news:
A European musician Tim is familiar with is, however, is the Finnish producer who accused him of stealing a beat (see [...]
Burning crusade will eat your soul
I am, as stated, not a fan of World of warcraft. Tonight the expansion launches.
I thought i’d commemorate this occation by pointing out to you all the things i think are wrong about the game, as a symbol of the genre at which vanguard it stands, howling with fury at the enemy, claymore at the [...]
Fuck you 2006
Even in spite of all my efforts to better you, you consistently beat me down, rejected me, turned me away and made a laughing stock of my efforts. You were the worst year i have ever lived through, and i hope to never see anything as voracious in its appetite for breaking down the human [...]
What, Tag’s too dangerous?
(yes i know the formatting here is balls, so what)
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/18/no.tag.ap/index.html
Man, i grew up in a neighborhood with 2 gangs of highschool kids fighting among themselves, and screw you if you were a 10 year old who wasn’t in family with any of the gang kids. Me and my buddies formed a little gang of [...]
INEXCUSABLE
Today’s culprit: Cheap bosses in fighting games
Nothing screams “we couldn’t even bother” like a final boss fight that determinedly breaks the rules of the game up until then. It is well known that Namco have never even bothered balancing their Tekken franchise, with character matchups that aren’t just broken, but WILFULLY so. Want to put [...]
Happy slapping..?
This UK happy slapping bullshit sounds so stupid i’m having a hard time believing there are fucktards out there capable of coming up with it. Apparently it’s a very real thing, which leads me, once again, to point to the UK as the pinnacle of irony. For a place that used to ship criminal elements [...]
ICANN are apparently idiots
http://www.theregister.com/2005/12/01/icann_kills_xxx/
.xxx domains are postponed. AGAIN. There is no good reason on this planet for this to be so.
Some people say ICANN are postponing it because they’ve been pressured by US conservatives, which means one of two things:
ICANN are lapdogs to a government who wants to keep porn integrated with society in the tightest and most [...]
Shishaldin needs to get her ass kicked. Now.
These aren’t recent news, but they were to me.

Isidore Ducasse is one of my favorite authors, in spite of only having written one true piece. Fantastic surrealism imbued with viciously attentive freedom philosophy, Les chants de Maldoror is a core piece of literature. And now this immature disrespectful bitch of an “artist” invokes some absurd [...]
Why Apple bugs me
This was originally a monster rant on the flashLounge list, but i just felt it was silly to throw so much text out there and not store it someplace, so i might as well drop it here
I grew up with Apple. My family is all about the mac. My sister has an ibook, [...]
