Lemons

Sorry about the delay on this post, I was busy... ummm... being lazy to be honest but its here now in all its weird lemoncholy glory (<- Get it? Its a play on the word melancholy which sounds like melon which means kinda sad which is a good fit because I often have to be in a slightly melancholy mood to... you know what forget it I'm moving on).

So what do you do when life gives you lemons?
Make lemonade?
This is probably a bad idea as everyone else does this so the market will be flooded with lemonade stands and with the current economic problems you wont be able to sell it for a good price and no-one will have the money to buy it and this sentence is already too long so I'm going to finish it up and move on to the next one.
So what should you do?
It's simple really.
Create a lemon powered weapon/doomsday device. Something that shoots lemons or makes the citrus acid inside it super powerful. Then you can use this weapon to rob banks or the doomsday device to hold the world to ransom. This also means you can become a Batman villain (thats the old tight wearing Batman not this new Batman who seemingly eats pure grumpy for breakfast). Who doesn't want to be a Batman villain? You could create yourself a nice suit made of lemons and become The Citrus Avenger.
Then you could join forces with Penguin, the Joker and the Riddler to create an army of insane, citric acid shooting penguins that can only be destroyed after solving a series of devilishly difficult clues.
Then you could be foiled by Batman because you didn't strap him in to his death machine properly or you used the wrong type of water to inflate your henchmen or some other arbitrary reason that allows you to come back next week with an even more ludicrous plan which may involve some type of bomb that forces Batman to try and dispose of it but make sure the area is full of nuns and children so you can create and amusing chase scene and...
Actually I'm going to end that sentence there as well but my point is lemonade is boring and overly intricate plots are awesome.
So next time life gives you lemons do the right thing.
Become a Batman villain.

Just a quick note...

I'm not dead nor is this blog. I will get around to updating it I just haven't been in the mood to post anything recently. This is just so you fans (HAHAHAHA like this blog has fans) don't think this blog is dead.

And the winner is...

Well deciding on who to give this to was really hard because there was LOTS OF REALLY GOOD REASONS SERIOUSLY NO JOKE I AM NOT BEING IRONIC!!!!
Anyway...
Before announcing the winner I would like to respond to one or two of the comments I got.
First up is Algia. He said that I should give everyone a copy or they will all hit me... one flaw in that plan. I only have one copy of each game. Not gonna happen next question.
Coincidental the next one is also to Al. He said that I should give him the games because I owe him a boost... I'm sure you can work out the rest.
Tiia said it's a popularity contest. Wrong if someone I hated came up with the best reason then I would give it to them. As it happens I like intelligent people so people I like are more likely to come up with good reasons.

Now for the result...

And I can now announce...

That I have decided...

















On a massive cop out.
Now don't get angry but I couldn't decide between Dave! and Gareth so here's the plan.
You both have to get in touch with me via steam for this as it would be to easy to fake the other person on a blog. You both have two choices. To split or steal...
Actually screw that, it didn't work as a tv show. You both have to get in touch with me still and choose what to do. You can either have one of the games each and you can fight amongst yourselves who gets which or you can each choose heads or tails and I'll use a computer simulation to toss a coin 100 times. The person who wins the most gets both games. Make your choice friends...

Competition Time

Hello there friends.
Let me ask you a question. How would you like a chance to win digital copies of Serious Sam HD The First and Second encounter?
To win you must have a Steam account though if you don't have one you can set one up and download Steam here http://store.steampowered.com/. You must also ask permission to enter from your parent/carer if you are under the age of 18 as I don't want to get in trouble with the authorities.
If you fit the above criteria then you have a chance of winning. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me why you should win these two amazing games along with your steam name. The person who I feel gives the best reason for why they should win will be announced on October 1st so check back here for the winner. So hurry up to be in on the chance of winning.
(Now why don't you make an account and follow this blog eh? It won't help you win but why not?)
(Second thing don't get used to these. I'm only doing this as I have spare copies of the game which I can gift to who I want and I don't know who to gift them to)
(Finally if all the reasons are terrible I have the right to not award the prize to anyone so if you are the only one to comment you won't win by default unless the reasons are good.)

It begins...

Dawn...
A time when night gives way to day...
A new day...
The day when it begins...
My quest...

Well that was kind of sad but not nearly as sad as what I'm going to say next.
Tomorrow I embark (if that can be used assuming I wont move that much) on an epic quest. What is it? Well this quest will continue until after I move on to a new stage in my life. It will not end until I am not the age I am now. It will end (Providing everything goes to plan) in one year. In that year I shall strive tirelessly to complete my goal. A goal that I have meant to complete for a long time. The goal is as follows.
I am going to watch every Star Trek episode, in one year. (and possibly the films if I can)
This quest begins tomorrow. For every day from then on one and a half hours a day will be spent watching two episodes. At least eleven will be watched a week. With at least fifty in a month. I will document some of my journey in this task however where I go my beloved readers can not follow. I go to glory... I will truly become a nerd... and I may descend into oblivion.

May (insert appropriate being) have mercy on my soul.
Live long, and prosper.

(Also I said I'd mention Dave so Dave here is your mention. If I see an increase in reader numbers then maybe an entire post will be dedicated to you and your... interesting... choice in music)

A celebratory post concerning things I do not celebrate

As you may well have noticed I recently attempted to do some advertising of my blog through Facebook to increase my number of readers. This endeavor seems to have paid off as I looked at my blog when I got home and lo and behold I have another follower bringing the total to five at the time of typing this. So ecstatic am I at this recent 25% increase in followers that I decided to write a celebratory post about the one thing that is bringing my mood down at the moment.

Homework, or homework assignment, refers to tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed mostly outside of class, and derives its name from the fact that most students do the majority of such work at home.

^That is the definition that Google gave me when I asked it to define homework.
Now I have to say this very nearly sums it up. However I have plans: I need to get down to playing some serious LOTR:Online for my next review; I have music I want to listen to; I want to try a new song on my guitar and most importantly I really need to get round to doing those thank you calls for my birthday. On top of that I need to eat, put the rabbit away and watch Star Trek at 8pm. I'm not even a very active person so I don't know how someone fits all that in plus goes out with friends, plays sports, goes to clubs and have a significant other.

A school is an institution designed to allow and encourage students (or "pupils") to learn, under the supervision of teachers.

^Thats what Google defined school as. Now heres the point I have been slowly dragging this entire post to. School is compulsory (Ok I haven't reached the point quite yet but bear with me). I accept that. The thing is school is "to learn, under the supervision of teachers." Homework "students do the majority of such work at home." I am not "under the supervision of teachers." at home (yes my mums a teacher but I'm not exactly supervised in my room) therefore homework is not school. From this I deduce that homework is not compulsory. From this I deduce that homework is an evil ploy to waste my time, bring my mood down and generally get in the way. Therefore I request a new definition of homework that goes something like this.

A waste of time used to aggravate students and get in the way of important things like Star Trek and looking up amusing images on the Internet.

I would go on but I have homework to do...

The armchair/sofa dilemma

Now I'm in yr 11 I've had to start thinking about my future, most importantly what I'm going to sit on when have my own place. The choice is a sofa or an armchair but which one? I won't have enough/the need for both but they both have interesting pros and cons.

Pros-

Sofa-
1). Easier to lay on
2). More room
3). In the unlikely event I have someone over there will be enough room for both of us.
4). Comfy

Armchair-
1). Takes up less space
2). Probably cheaper
3). Can get a small table next to it on which I can place controllers, buns, pies and other essential items.
4). Comfy

Cons-

Sofa-
1). Takes up more space
2). Probably more expensive
3). Nowhere to put essential items other than the floor or a tray and I don't plan on getting a tray/putting my food on the floor.
4). Can lead to back/neck ache if possitioned badly as I may have to turn my head to see the tv/games console/PC hooked up to a huge wall mounted monitor.

Armchair-
1). Only room for one person
2). Can't lie down
3). Needs to be directly in front of the tv/games console/PC hooked up to a huge wall mounted monitor to avoid neck ache which may mean putting it in the centre of the room.
4). May be uncomfortable after long viewing/gaming sessions and there isn't much room for variation in position.

So there you have it. Four pros and cons for having an armchair or a sofa and I'm still no closer to making a decision. Therefore what I need is a sofa with armrests close enough on both sides for me to reach while still having room for freinds, fammily and a table for buns. Can you get those?

I'm sure I'll think of a witty title once I publish this

Now I've been re-reading some of my previous posts and realized I've stopped being funny. Actually I haven't been funny since I started this blog a whole twenty-one posts back but in the last couple I stopped trying to be funny and tried to write something interesting and informative. I realize now that I have four people who follow this blog, less that actually read it and even less that are interested in interesting and insightful thoughts so until my position changes I shall have to start attempting to be, as I put it in my first blog post, momentarily amusing.

So I guess I should talk about why I'm writing this post right now. The thing is I have a pie in the oven and that isn't a euphemism. I am cooking a pie for my tea and it will be ready in about twenty minutes from now. In my world twenty minutes is enough to play a few rounds of minesweeper but is not enough to start a raid on someones base or fly to Jupiter, so I settled for writing a (hopefully) momentarily amusing blog post.

But alas my time in this chair shortens and as heat is slowly released into a pie I must make sure that I am there in time to stop it from painting the inside of the oven a new colour I call hint of chicken and mushroom (and possibly a small amount of bacon). I'm also cutting this short because I have nothing more to say that wouldn't result in this being a collection of completely unrelated waffle and also because I think I might eat another biscuit. Also, mum if your reading this I AM NOT ABOUT TO EAT ANOTHER BISCUIT! (phew)

(actually going back to an earlier point how many people actually read this? Also try and tell some people about this because I'd quite like to increase the amount of readers.)

Web Browsers

23rd August: 16:24
So up until now I've used my fair share of web browsers. I started, as we all do, with Internet Explore before upgrading to chrome. I then switched to Opera which I love but for the next few days I'm going to be trying out firefox. This blog post is a record of my experinece. I shall use Firefox until 25th of August then spend a little while using Opera before I make a verdict on which browser becomes the primary and which the secondary (although sadly Internet Explorer must remain the tertiary browser as I know it works with all websites I may need).

August 23rd: 18:56
I've been messing around with addons and settings now for just over two hours and I think I have a set up I like. I got a speed dial going with all my main websites and a mouse gesture addon which I've modified to replicate that of Opera. I have to say that the speed dial is a bit bland with very few modification options which I'm not a fan of. I also feel the mouse gestures don't work as well as that of Opera's and everything seems rather sluggish. Opera is clearly faster. Also I don't like the scrolling as much. I know this is a rather petty complaint but Opera had a nice scroll function that seemed to glide across the page as you scrolled down, Firefox on the other hadn seems very stiff and actually feels like its scrolling line by line as oposed to Opera's feeling of sliding down the page. On top of that theres no way of closing the last open tab down to the speed dial. You have to open speed dial and then close the last tab. Again this is petty but it feels kind of weird without it.

August 23rd: 20:21
Lack of spell check is beggining to get irritating.

August 24th: 17:30
The large bar at the top of the screen is beggining to annoy me. Where as in Opera its a small bar that doesn't get in the way, Firefox has a huge one that keeps drawing my attention to it while reading text or watching a video.

August 24th: 17:49
Downloads are slow. Reeeeeeeealy slow.

August 25th: 13:34
So the final day. Time for the verdict. Now I liked Firefox especially the addons but the thing is any addon I may want for Firefox is allready in Opera and done better. While Firefox feels like other browsers and feels quite clunky, Opera flows. I can load three web pages in about half a second and the first will be ready as soon as I open it. Firefox was just too slow for me. It has however earned its place in my hard-drive and will stay as the browser I use on websites that Opera is not commpatible with. I may return in the futer if it becomes smoother but for now I go back to Opera. Farewell Firefox, you were a good companion and we may meet again sooner than you think (because opera isn't compatible with alot of websites).

Achievements

As you may know, many platforms these days have an achievement system. For the Xbox 360 theres Achievements and Gamerscore, on the ps3 you get trophies, steam has their own steam achievements and games outside of these platforms sometimes have in game achievements as well.
I've been thinking about these three major types of achievements and have come to this conclusion. Ps3 trophies are the best, closely followed by steam achievements with Xbox and their Gamerscore trailing behind. My reason for this is as follows: Ps3 trophies are split into four categories bronze, silver, gold and the rare platinum trophies. These give you an idea as to how hard each achievement is to get and allows developers to include as many or as few achievements as they wish. Steam is second because they share the ability for each game to have as many achievements as are needed but lack the ability to see how hard they are to get, although the fact it also has information as to what percentage of players have achieved each achievement is a nice touch. I feel that the pioneers of the achievement world are the worst for the very reason people like them. Gamerscore. Each game is allowed 1000g worth of achievements or 200g for games on the Xbox Live arcade. This I feel limits the system as each game only has the ability to have so many achievements. On top of that Gamerscore is often used as a display of skill as when you say you have xbox live the first thing people usually ask is "whats your gamerscore?". This is a pitty as I know a guy who is an adept at Halo 3's multiplayer however has very few gamerpoints. I also know people who just spend their time farming achievements, not for the sake of it as with ps3 and steam, but to increase their gamerscore. Thus you get people who can't tell a gun from a hat announcing their superiority over you because they have more gamerscore... although they usually shut up once you've fragged them so many times they can see the respawn screen when they shut their eyes.

My first review

My first review is now live on The RastaBadger Reviews. It's not all that good but it's my first time so I will improve. Check it out. Theres a link on the side of this blog.

Reviews

I'm not dead yet so don't ignore the blog yet.
Now some of you may remember back with my first post that I said I may put some reviews on here and I think I've come to a conclusion on that point. I figure that not everyone who reads this blog will be interested in game reviews so I'm going to set up a secondary blog for game reviews that may also act as a portfolio if I ever want to get work at IGN or something similar. As of yet there are no reviews on it but I aim to start a review as soon as I finish typing this and hope to review about a game a week if not one or two a month. It can be found at the following address http://rastabadgerreviews.blogspot.com/

I'm not dead yet... at least I don't think I am.

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't made a blog post in a while (others may notice that very few people actually read this blog and even fewer pay attention to it so I'm not sure why I keep at it) and there's a below average reason for this. I started playing World of Warcraft again. I know that it's sad and I'm probably now classes as a nerd who is to nerds what nerds are to normal people but I don't really care. The thing is, thats what is really bugging me.
I understand that there is a huge prejudice towards WoW players and even MMO players in general but I don't really understand it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has loads of players, almost as many as some MMOs, but for some reason isn't considered to be that nerdy. On the other hand Counter Strike has almost as many players as CoD but is seen as nerdy. You have to wonder why that is. Both are arcade shooters dressed up as a realistic shooters and have as many similarities as they have differences, but one is nerdy and one isn't.
As I mentioned they aren't even realistic shooters. CoD is more of a DPPFFRWSIWWBTONOTMTWHAAFAPAHD shooter (LOOK IT UP!) while CS is just plain and simple arcade shooter. Is that why CoD isn't seen as nerdy? Because it isn't an arcade game (Even thought the multiplayer is)?
Now all of this rambling is leading to a point. The point is this: Much like good, evil, truth and justice, nerdy doesn't exist. It is a label slapped on anything that isn't as popular as other things OR is more popular than other things. WoW is loved and played by millions of people who like to be good at it and is therefore nerdy. CS is popular with kids who aren't quite as cool (another thing that doesn't exist) as people who are popular (I guess that one exists though). CoD is liked by the 'popular' people and is therefore not nerdy. From this I conclude that 'popular people' are totally insane.

A public anouncement

It has come to my attention that someone has used my name to post an inappropriate comment on a blog that I shall not name due to copyright infringements. You know who you are and you should also know I am working with the blog owner to straighten out all this business. I will not discuss whether I agree with the post in question as that is beside the point. The point is that you have used my name against my will and this is in fact identity theft. I shall not report this to the police, however I shall issue my own punishment that shall be executed using my sharp wit and my colleague's lack of grip on sanity. Own up now and I shall let this pass with merely a warning however. I have no problem with you making all the allegations in the world against whomever you wish using your own name or an anonymous one. My name must not be used to convey your own beliefs, opinions or insults. You have been warned.

"Punctuation 'n' stuff" an extention

The point of punctuation is to give the reader a better idea of what is meant by the content of the text. Text with no punctuation is just incomprehensible words.

Punctuation 'n' stuff

I'm just going to jump straight in with this one. Punctuation is important. All of it. However if you ask me one of the most important is the question mark wouldn't you agree? For example one of my "friends" on Facebook recently left a comment along the lines of "why. what happened.". What we have here is two very short statements. I assume that they meant to say "Why? What Happened?". As you may have noticed I also corrected the problem with their capital letters. Now this offense was rather insignificant but there have been times when the lack of a question mark has led to terrible consequences (all right it wasn't too serious, the question just didn't get answered until they pointed out it was a question a week later).
This brings me to another point: The use of full English. Now in texts the use of text language is understandable. You have to conserve letters so that you can fit it all in one text or something (my phone hasn't been on for three years). In other areas though I don't understand the use of text language. On games I feel that if you don't have time to type your message out properly you probably shouldn't be typing (however I feel that brb is acceptable as it implies you must leave swiftly). I also have a friend who writes a blog but apparently doesn't use full English. If a blog is full of "Imo" or "LMAO" it doesn't look professional. It looks like someone threw a lobster at their keyboard and hit publish post. A blog is open to the entire Internet and so, however unlikely it is, may be come upon by many thousands of people. Many will quickly ignore your blog as mindless drivel while with full English they might at least read it before realizing this.

(insert title here)

So I haven't done a post here for a while now and heres the thing. I can't think of anything witty to say. Its not that I can't be bothered I just can't think of anything funny at the moment. In all honesty this post is to say this blog is not dead and I will start posting again when I have something mildly amusing to say. In the mean time consider this: Is there something better I can call this? My reasoning is that a blog sounds like something that sits on the bottom of a river and communicates through farts.

That last post I made

I realize that last post was about as funny as a dead baby joke after an abortion so here is a mildly amusing joke I found on a random joke generator.

Q: What do lawyers use as birth-control? A: Their personalities.

I would like to take the time to say I like lawyers as much as I like everyone and I have nothing against lawyers. Anyone who takes offense at this joke is reminded I did not write it nor did I find it funny so please don't hunt me down and talk at me because I have the social skills of a nervous badger.

Who you play as in a game

Just a short post today. I've been thinking about a forum post I was just reading about playing as a female in games while being a man. Now some people said that this was a bad thing to do as you shouldn't play as the opposite gender to yourself. I didn't quite understand this viewpoint as I can't through fireballs either so does that mean I shouldn't play mage? Also I can't run for more than a minute, fire weapons accurately, drive cars/boats/helicopters/planes or sneak at all. Actually scratch that last one. What I'm trying to say is a game is much like a book or a film. I am not the character in it I just control them and so should be able to play what ever character I feel like.
Any thoughts?

Chavs, Gangstas and being a BadMan

So I've been having a think about the situation that we are in as a species at this moment. The 'plague' of people trying to outdo each other on the BadMan scale. I don't quite get it. How is being a chav cool? I understand people who dislike school as I am among their ranks however when people go out of their way to (for lack of a better term) cock about. For example: A few months ago a pupil was sent into one of my classes because he had been misbehaving in another class. However the wayward youth (wow I sound like an old man) was not remorseful, far from it in fact, he stood at the front of the class smirking at the class who's time he was now wasting (we weren't getting much done but thats beside the point (apologies for the excessive use of brackets I'll try to stop)). Where is the attraction in being told off by one teacher to be sent into another room to be told off by another, all the while wasting away a valuable education (yes I respect education and understand its purpose I just don't enjoy it).
Another thing I don't understand is the notion of being 'Gangsta'. First of all their inability to spell gangster and secondly for their inability to understand what a gangster actually is. Now don't get me wrong actual gangsters were (and if they still exist) awesome, although maybe I've been playing a little too much "Gangsters: Organized crime". However these modern 'Gangstas' are just idiots in stupid clothes using a bunch of made up words and incorrect grammar (although all words are mad up in some respect but thats another blog post all together).
But you know what really gets my metaphorical knickers in a twist? The fact few people seem to agree with me. Now maybe this is because people who are actually cool don't need to mess about in gangs or maybe I'm just a little out of touch with modern pop culture but either way whats so cool about chavs and 'Gangstas'? It has even been scientifically proven that girls are more attracted to 'bad men'. Why? What is so attractive about a self centered git who couldn't pour water out of a shoe with instructions on the heel?
The point I am trying laboriously to get too is this: Cool people who are cool don't have to prove it to anyone. Chavs and 'Gangstas' aren't cool, they're posers. Trying to make up for their utter lack of cool or maybe something else. Although saying that what I'm actually saying is that chavs, 'bad men' and 'gangstas' are dicks. End post.

Not liking games

So I once "talked" to some guy on a forum who said he didn't like video games. I inquired further and he said that he hated all video games. Now I'm all about everyone having freedom of speech and though but in this case I think he has misinterpreted his own opinion. I can see why he may not like some video games but saying you hate all video games is like saying you hate all films or you hate all music. Everyone likes some kind of music even if its that terror core stuff that you could replicated by hitting a dustbin with a dead cat four-hundred times a minute. There are all kinds of games just like there are all types of film and music. For example from the seat in which I am seated now I have done all of the following things with games: I have discussed politics online in mmos, I have stalked the streets of Los Angeles as a vampire, I have explored the wastes of solthsiem as a werewolf, I have taken over entire galaxies, I have created a galactic trade empire, I have enslaved a race of elfs, I have destabilized various nations, I have been nano-augmented and been cast into a world of conspiracies to name a few.
The thing is thats just me. Those are the kinds of games that I play. For others there are train/plane/boat/submarine simulators, horse riding games, puzzle games, sport games and even various mini games for casual gamers. The point I'm trying to make is that games are as versatile as films and music and books. Saying you hate all games is just being closed minded. Even my own mother spends time playing scrabble or jewel quest. I understand if you don't like certain games but all of them is just stupid.

Feeling Lucky Punk

So as Dirty Harry once put it "you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" Now Ive been thinking what is luck? It doesn't really exist does it? It's just a feeling like happiness or depression and should therefore be disregarded as a means of making decisions. I know from personal experience that gut reactions without logically thinking through the problem end in failure 9 time out of 10 so should we really try and get away from Dirty Harry just because of a gut reaction?

Mac=Windows=Linux

Ok so I just got back from Lichfield after spending most of the weekend at the Jazz and Blues festival there and I think that the best thing to do now is to completely neglect to write anything about it here and talk about the equality of the three major operating systems at the moment.
So let me explain. The way I see it the best way to describe it is through cars. My pc for example is a Ferrari Enzo. A little old and not as powerful as some of the more modern cars but still good. Of course being a car it has an engine and a steering wheel. Now the engine of course represents the computer itself. The steering wheel however is the OS. If I take that steering wheel out and replace it with a different one the car is still just as good as it used to be.
This is like a computer. If you change the OS on the computer then its still just as good. Its whats in the computer that counts not what OS it runs. For this reason I think all the OSs are equal. Sure one may do something better but another will be better at other things. If I run windows 7 on a pc with 4gig of ram and a 2.6 mhz quad core processor it is going to run just as well as the same pc with Snow Leopard installed. The OS is just a program to be run before running other programs. Sure windows has more compatible games, Linux is more complicated and mac is easier to use but in the end it all comes down to what you prefer and what you need it for.
They are all the same. Get over it.

(also wii, ps3 and xbox360 are down to personal preference as well so are also equal. Take note however that android is superior to the I-Phone in every way.)

Football

So the world cup has started and I'm as interested in it as I am that tree across the road. I don't quite understand why people enjoy watching twenty-two people kick a ball from one end of a pitch to the other for forty-five minutes at which point they switch sides and do it again. All in aid of winning an overly elaborate cup (I would also like to take this time to point out its not even a cup theres nowhere to put your drink in it). There isn't even anything to be proud of. So what if eleven people in your country are the best group of football players in the last four years, thats like the Chinese being proud that they are the worlds top potato producers in 2006 (yes I looked that up). I don't even see why its so exciting. Now heres an idea. Give all the footballers saucepan helmets and claymores and we can start talk about exciting.

Now isn't that better?

Followers

Wow. This marks a huge milestone in the blog. I have a follower :)

Ironing

So ironing. I understand the idea behind it I just don't get it if you see what I mean. The way I see it is that you iron your shirts/trousers/socks/cat (actually please don't iron your cat I like cats) after washing them to make them look neat. That I understand but why do you have to look neat every day? Ironing your shirts every day means that there is no distinction between when you are trying to look neat, for say a job interview or a wedding, and when you are not trying to be neat, for example school or normal life. For this reason I reckon its best to iron your clothing items when doing something important like a job interview or a date (although maybe they're the same thing I don't have much experience) but don't iron them every time you wash them. You end up wasting your time and electricity. Time and electricity that could be used watching Star Trek or writing meaningless blog posts that maybe one person is going to read.

Comments

Now I understand we are all comedians but any comments relating to the game will be deleted. I mean seriously don't you have anything better to do? I guess posting this blog on facebook was a bad idea knowing my friends but we all make mistakes. Yes we do. all of us. Don't sit there thinking "well he might but I don't" Because you do.

And so it begins...

Well I guess this is the start of something beautiful. Or not. Only time will tell but I will warn you now these posts will probably have no structure. In fact it will be unlikely that there will be any correlation between posts. I may make a post about a game I played followed by one about monkeys. I may make comments on various pieces of news and some stuff may actually be important.... Sorry about that I think the sensible part of me took over for a moment. I understand few people will be reading this first post and probably the next few but hopefully I may get a regular viewer someday. Or even someone who finds this blog and reads half a post would be nice but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Alternatively if you are reading this then welcome. Welcome to my blog. I hope it brings you momentary amusement.
