A few mini-rants are in order here.
First, hockey is boring. It’s not coming back (actually that would give the presumption that it was ever “here.”) I don’t care if 20 million canucks watched one olympic game, after that one is done the viewers are going to drop to 20,000. Hockey sucks, period. This coming from someone that would rather watch golf or tennis. Heck, NBA basketball where defense seems to be a myth is better to watch. At least we can watch the likes of LeBron and a host of other incredible players show off. So ESPN do us all a favor and stop hyping hockey and for the love of everything hockey should NEVER have a spot in the top 10. You assholes usually plug 2-3 plays in there because of your agenda… is the NHL paying y’all for this press?
Dubai needs to stop being little bitches. Same goes for Britain. Yes, I’d be pissed if someone stole my passport and used it. If they’re just fakes then who gives a crap? There is no victim unless you count the state of the UK but let’s face it… the backroom politics will have swept it under the rug in no time anyways. Plausible deniability and all that. Spy games happen all over and it just so happens to lead back to a country (implicit or not) and now they’re covering their asses. Whatever. I don’t care for the fact that the US is supporting Israel. Let them do their own religious wars with their own money instead of us sending untold amounts of money over there. They’ll just attack our ship and deny it anyways. And Dubai is cowering for what? A Hamas idiot was killed, these people knew they were harboring an evil man. Now Israel made them look bad by getting the job done so now they’re trying to make Israel look bad. Ahhh, politics. Fucking annoying. Sack up. “Yep, we killed him, fuck you.”
Sony in all their wisdom somehow fucked up and let a little glitch take down their PS3s yesterday. How do you forget to include leap year or put it in the wrong year, whichever it was? Seriously, it’s a basic clock function. The more disturbing thing is it affecting games even in offline mode. Why is that happening? People are suggesting DRM via trophies. Sounds like bullshit but I don’t know enough about that to form a better opinion.
I shouldn’t be reading and writing. I need to get back to packing. The day is coming soon. :-)
Oh and here’s an excellent article or Q&A I guess.
