Reporting news is an arduous thing. It requires a lot of time and dedication. I have neither. It’s hard enough keeping up with regular news in the game industry, it’s even harder falsifying that news in a timely fashion. So I’m going to take a slightly different approach on things. I’m keeping the funny, and removing the news. Pretty much this site will be satirical commentary and funny shit. To give you an example, two older posts on this site, this on and this one, are great examples of what this site is going to be like. In fact, this site got a bit sidetracked, because that was the original vision. And yes, the original vision was to get sued for slander and libel. Stay tuned. More content. Less news.

It started off shitty because I went to the train station and realized that I had forgotten my backpack which had my paper that was due for my night class. I tried ditching my first class to go to the computer lab to redo my paper but Blackboard was down so I couldn’t do shit. I went to my class, which was a lot of fun for the professor because he likes listening to himself. Then my day got better because I went out to eat with my friends. At that point, I just decided to ditch class. After lunch we went and smoked hookah, and then decided to go eat around 6:00. At 6:15 my friend sends me a text message asking if I heard about the bomb threat. Bomb threat? Turns out my school received a bomb threat so all night classes in my building got canceled! Sweet! After an awesome dinner at Wildfire, I came home and waiting for me was a little brown Amazon.com box. Inside it? Grand Turismo 5: Prologue. Fuck yeah!

Sorry, people like this sick fuck need to be guillotined in public.

Today as I got off the Library L station I walked right into a set for the television show E.R. I didn’t see any actors because the crew was still setting up, but I did walk by those chairs that the stars sit in. It was pretty cool to see each actor’s name embroidered in the backrest with their character’s name underneath that. That set was just one of the 50+ sets currently in Chicago. This is wild cause Chicago hasn’t seen so much film presence before. It’s boomed in the past few years, probably thanks to Vince Vaughn.

…if they invent plug-and-play networking.

My first week of my last quarter in college went well. I like most of my professors, my classes are cool (they’re all electives, so they better be), and there’s hot bitches in my classes. This is going to be a good quarter, I can feel it.

On a side note, the people involved in my university’s Game Development Program and are part of the core community in our game labs are primarily clickish douchebags. The majority of them have a “holier than thou” attitude and if you’re not one of them, you have no chance of ever being one of them. They’re “cool” gamers. God forbid you don’t play Warcraft III (primarily DotA) or Guitar Hero, or listen to the same music they do. Plus it’s funny to see them have power struggles over the video game club leader positions. It’s like seeing three year olds fight over candy.

Everyone knows that gamers don’t get laid. But what happens when a gamer pays a prostitute $75 for a quickie? He gets Herpes. Visit Game-Nerds.net and get the same end result while saving yourself $75.

Realm downtimes are good for one reason though: making new friends. Pay attention to my character’s name and the chat box.
