on the subject of gaming.. Games Radar has a pretty disturbing list of Top 7 Most Evil Games up. S1ht like Battle Raper and Biko 3 and the usual supremacist crap -I had no idea of some of those titles.

this must be one of the freakiest videos of the year. Meet Singapore's Media Development Authority (basically your friendly neighborhood censors in this police state where littering and jaywalking are punishable with caning. These are the guys pulling Mass Effect on account of an alien lesbian sex scene. It's one thing to have suits act the part of Big Brother evil government, but when they act like this, that's just fcuking disturbing.

hot Milf teaching English! She got about 60 vids so lots to gawk at I guess.

I think I'm like most xbox 360 gamers, feeling like sometimes I'm playing on borrowed time, because I'm playing on something extremely cool -for now (see?)- Xbox Live. I think, like most other hardcore fanboys, I feel good about how we're sticking it to Sony right now, another big corporation but one with a huge experience in gaming. But I worry at night. I worry that Xbox and Xbox Live will become too popular, too mainstream, opening the doors to other Microsoft departments to come in and fcuk it all up. You see it already, with the disneyfication of Live Marketplace and casual games, but I still shrug -I don't have to touch any of that if I don't want to.

The next update will see parental timers (wtf is that about? Everybody knows nobody gives a fcuk what kids play on their consoles -it's like selling comfy escalators to treehouses so mom has easier access with milk and cookies -woman, it's in a tree to get teh fuk away from u!) and now there's this buzz going about of hooking up Zune with Xbox Live. So basically, you have ur ugly little sister (who stinks, and eats sand) complaining to ur mom that you won't play with her. So mom tells you to play together. And you do, and all the neighborhood kids see you and laugh at you for being a douche.

See, that's my fear. And not just being called a douche for having to connect to some stoopid device nobody gives a fuk about, but all the bloatware it'll bring along. How long before my xbox crashes because of some unidentified error related to some crappy PMP I don't own? I swear, teh minute that happens, people will leave Xbox, and they'll be left with a souped up Wii, but without the coolness factor at least that comes with owning a Wii, because it's gay and you don't give a damn.

So heed my warning Microsoft, leave Xbox teh hell alone, don't make us play with any of our other weird, freaky, ugly, gay family members, aight? We iz hardcore, but fragile on the inside. And we run away from home! (lolz ok enough with the metafores!)

you can say a lot about Kanye West, his ego, his whatever -but he's still a son too. He's attempting to sing 'Hey Momma' here after his mom passed away but breaks down and cries on stage. No further comment needed.

kay.. this is just wrong. Some game called Avatar split up 1000 gamer score in just five achievements -and then allows you to collect them all with some sorry ass airblowing level -MS should step in here, I mean I got numb hands from Halo 3 and don't even get me started on Guitar Hero III -and here's a game taht basically allows u to buy 1000 points. Wrong. Just wrong.

more rumors on the Xbox 360 Fall Update -and again Xvid support. The list looks legit, too.. I read a lot of guys saying things like, "yeah MS and Divx/Xvid support, when hell freezes over" and s1ht, but they always claim this because of the supposed favored use by movie pirates for divx and xvid. That it wouldn't make sense because MS is in bed with Hollywood etc.

Well, check out some torrent sites (why not use ftwonline.net -I made it myself, and searches all major and niche torrents sites among other, using teh Google) -a lot of the HD-DVD rips coming out (not just porn) is actually done on WMV! So, if MS' own format is now also popular with 'pirates', then there really is no reason for them to support those other codecs too.

Or maybe have it as a paid download, and share the spoils with the RIAA, for say $30? I'd pay that.

Urban Dictionary Word of the Day: Man Stand

Ive been doing the Man Stand outside New Look for an hour!

Donttasemebro.com got registered yesterday -read the campus tasering-fallout story on Wired. I still think that it was justified, for a number of reasons. First, the guy shows up in line with cops -he probably already gave reason (on entering, or after, but before the cameras started rolling) to be kept at arms-length. Then, if you watch this video, this is not a small guy.

You can clearly see on this video (the other, way more popular one is here) how he quite easily resists being 'dragged off' as most put it, at the bottom of the stairway. One cop (coming up from by the podium at 0,34") had his taser drawn at that time already (0,55"), but put it back in his holster as they all moved towards the exit. That's like a second chance to me.

Imo -and probably the cops'- he wasn't really resisting yet and already proving difficult to be led out. It's important to realize. If you've ever taken on a guy stronger than yourself you look for those things, and you calculate that into your response (the famous 'I got one shot and then run for it').

Finally, the bullsh1t about him 'already being on the ground' or there being so many cops, so there would be no need for tasering. Let me tell you, somebody can be equally dangerous on the ground as on foot, and it doesn't matter if there's one guy or seven -in the end he hits the guy in front of him. If you don't agree, then read up on a thing called Judo, it's like 70% on the ground. And they can't all sit on him -that would break his ribcage. Or two holding him, and the others going for his legs? Would you kick someone in the face, unwantingly even?

The Wired article also brings up scary alternative stories, in case the cops wouldn't have tasers, like 'a bullet in the chest'. Bro, pleaz. He would have been clubbed down most likely, and would still have bruises today (if not worse). Fact is, tasering is clean and works, with almost no (in 95% of cases) lasting effects. So you either take a leap back and accept that 95% more arrests will carry lasting effects, or you side with the 5% in the current scenario and whine about brutality. In the end it all comes down to these liberal upper middle-class white kids just being soft and against any form of authority, and calling it being educated (implying superior to you, bro). And yeah, I put in 'white' so you'd think about his 'bro' reference, and if he would have made it if it weren't for that black cop hauling him off -Bro, we're both repressed! Just a thought, but I've seen his type before.

Finally, this is also a taser, and trust me, set waay higher than that guy took -he was still screaming, meaning he didn't lose control of his jaw and tongue muscles.

Urban Dictionary Word of the Day: Drafterglow
In fantasy sports, most commonly fantasy football, a condition where the owner is so happy with their team right after the draft that they already have a place picked out for the trophy. A false sense of euphoria which is usually followed by a last place finish and ridicule from others who remember what a moron you looked like on draft day.

1. Mo had a serious case of drafterglow. I mean he did get Tomlinson, but the rest of his team is a disaster!
