  • We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they’re crazy!!! It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don’t go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is ‘please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything’!


  • I bought Haze for PS3 the day it came out even after reading a lot of mid to negative reviews, both because I really love all three TimeSplitters games and wanted to support the devs, and also out of a feeling of ‘how bad could it really be?’. It was incredibly boring, graphically underwhelming, and I ended up beating it the same day I bought it. Tried to trade it in and even on release week EB offered me an incredibly insulting amount, like $7 or something, and I still took it.


  • myself and everyone I knew were massive fans of the N64 WCW and WWF games, but I had played the PS2 Yukes! games at friends houses and always kinda hated them. Ended up getting Wrestlemania X8 because I somehow got to actually go to the event at Skydome, and even with that huge bias still thought the game was shit and barely ever played it.

    Wrestlemania was fucking wild though, it fell on the same day as St. Patricks and everyone there was drunk as shit, tons of fan scuffles and rowdiness, as a high schooler was a total blast.

    The more I think about it, the better I remember it. I think I’m going to watch it again.

    spoiler

    The hijacking of buddy’s glucose meter to try and kill him

    hit pretty close to home

    and it even had a Zombified

    spoiler

    Stephen Hawking and Resident Evil Movie Style Dogs but from Boston Dynamics

    it was honestly pretty great for network TV


  • Did anyone watch that show NEXT from the people who made 24? I might have been the only one, I’ve never seen anyone ever talk about it. There was a plot point where the evil Alexa tried to convince a kid who was being bullied to bring a gun to school and shoot his bully, and provided the kid with the keycode to dad’s gun safe… it was pretty wild.
