The new place all my time is about to go to...

Just when I though there was going to be an oppertunity do some study, the internet has gone and done it again. Providing me with a new distraction; somthing which I had not even dared to hope existed.
A clone of Guitar heros a game that almost had me buying a playstation

For PC!!!

With the obvious side PC benifit of being able to make/download any song I want!

Jack is a Happy boy = D

Thus far I have only downloaded versions of Starway to Heaven (Zepplin) and Through Fire and Flames (Dragon Force) both of which are vastly too hard for me, but meh they are totaly awsome songs.
And at +/- 8mb a file +plus music it will take a while to get a good libray together.

The way the game works it you pickup you keyboard hold it upsidedown and push the f1-f5 keys as frets and press enter to pick. basicly turning your keyboard into a keytuar.
Meaning you get to look like a total spaz in the privacy of your own home.
But it is totaly awsome to play.
So there.

What else has happened to me recently?


Well I was shocked, dismayed and greatly amused by human stupidaty last week.

It was on a TV program called bullshit (I think) their aim being to debunk as much bullshit as humanly possable, that week they were being very scathing towards so called 'alternative treatments' cyropracters and reflexologistes and the like. But the best part was when they got a very offical looking person with a lab coat and everything to set up a stall in a mall and adminster 'alternative treatments' to anywho wanted them (totaly halmless of cource, but total bullshit) then after the member of the public has shown how gullable they are to the world they 'scientist' told them that they had been on a hidden camera show.
But the segment that made me worry about the state of the world was a 'treatment' known as the mucus face mask, a moisturising and revitalising facal using the freshest snail musus, straight from the snail infact.
So what they got was about a dozzon people sitting in the chair (of science) with snails on their face saying how great it felt and how much tighter their pores felt.

Only in America folks.
Their stupidity makes me sad = ( .


Soberometer 10/10
What am I listening to now?: Vally of the damned; By Dragon Force

The end of the world as we know it, and I feal fine

Today was the first day of study break, yay!
So of course rather than doing anything stupid like actually studying, me and my little brother went to the Armageddon expo instead, and good times were had. And I meet some really cool people.

The first was the writer of one of my favourite web comics, who turns out to be a New Zealander (http://www.combustibleorange.com). An awesome comic simply because one of it's main characters is called Super Demolition Christ! And I think I may have made his day, because apparently I was the first (read only) person of the day to know his work. So I got a signed comic out of. Which I ended up promising wouldn't be on E-Bay for a whole week. I got it for $3 so I’m hoping for at least a 200% profit minus shipping and handling.

The other person I was stoked to have met was, if you remember the New Zealand idol ad with the guy wearing big bat wings who auditioned singing death metal. YES! I met the Heavy metal Harry Potter!

The moral of the story!
To have fun at conventions you don't have to line up for hours and pay outrageous quantities of money for autographs from semi washed up 'celebrities' (If the guy who pushes the buttons on Stargate can be counted as a celebrity).
What I'm listening to now: Pink Floyd, Dogs

(After being asked about the soberometer I have decided to explain it, the higher the number the more sober I am. (The exception being the first post where I had yet to calibrate it properly thus it has been retroactively changed)

Pwned by teh n00b, and n00bed by the pope

The source of to day's rant is a topic that I'm sure is close to everyone's heart.

PWNAGE!!!!1

specificity when you are on the receiving end of this phenomenon.

For those of you who have no idea why I am posting collections of letters that aren't even real words.

Pwnage, pronounced own-age (the p is silent and the o is invisible), can rightly be equated with concepts of being beaten, bested and generally surpassed in contests of skill, there is also an element of personal honor involved in this. For example one would say; that guy had the l33t skillz and pwned me. Translation: he was more skilled than me and bested my attempts, bruising my honor (if you have to ask what l33tness is you'll never know).

The reason I'm writing this is I've been playing on of those free browser games where you build up stuff by clicking on links and the like. This one is based around building up villages in a medieval theme, rather enjoyable.
links: http://www.tribalwars.net

Now the point of this is that you are plonked in the middle of a massively multiplayer environment, meaning your surrounded by dozens of people who have being playing for months longer than you, have a 500 times the size of yours and a Viking complex.

What has resulted is wanton pillaging of my lands and crops (fair enough to them I'd probably do the same if I could), but its when I get the same person attacking me 15-20 times in the 2 days I don't log in, which again is fair enough. But its the fact that his screen name is n00b, that really adds insult to defeat.
Bah I'm probably just whining about my own n00bness.

which allows you to do such sacrilicious things as:


I know I'm probably being mean, but the pope scares me.

Even though the poor guy has a tough act to follow, yes I know John Paul was a far right reactionary, who's favourite pastime seemed to be putting up a wall full of posit notes, each with a item of popular culture and current events on it, then throwing a dart at it blind folded, in order to decide what to label as Satan’s latest attempt to destroy the world. But we could always forgive him for it.
He represented a more innocent time, when we all had nothing to fear from the Catholics. Or in fact from any religion, it may well be that it is hard to trust the public face of one religion when allot of them are going through a spell of particularly bad press.

It’s probably all the fault of the damn media.

That, and we all secretly want is the pope to be, Battle Pope!


Wow a particularly long rant this time.

Bordness'ometer 5/10

What am I listening to now: Iron Maiden: The Sign of the Cross. (Ironic, no?)
