The Criminal Justice system in the Phillipines is a very different world.

I don't know if these poor, poor criminals were roped into this as a publicity stunt, or if there were promises of reduced sentences for cooperation, or what had to go down to make this seem like a good idea at the time, but the level of coordination and enthusiasm in such a ( Read more... )

If you happen to find yourself up for some law-enforcement zen shit, you may want to read this article.

Apparently, a man who was surrounded by officers who were about to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly in public decided to call 911 for help.

That's just downright confusing.

I enjoy writing posts for this thing, on the increasingly rare occassions that I find something noteworthy to ramble about.  I hypothesize that nine times out of ten it is in relation to a zombie game, or perhaps a news story that I found silly.  I suppose this post falls under the latter, as I have once again dug up an obscure news article that ( Read more... )

Touch the Dead

That is the bestest thing ever.  I am going to buy a copy of it shortly, and should it be as hardcore as I imagine it to be, you will all be buying it as well.

Ecstatically,

It's not a necrophiliac dating-sim.

Oh so happy...

For many years now, nevermind exactly how long (I will, however, mention that one of its first occurrances involved me in diapers, pounding away on my dad's Tandy 1mhz desktop 'computer'), I have been saying how positively bitching it would be if someone, somewhere, would make a multiplayer co-op zombie / monster survival game.

For those of you who want to know how many times the process of ordering components for a custom-built computer can go wrong before you even receive the parts, read on.

A recent decision to build a new computer from the case up has yielded mixed results.  The actual process of purchasing the parts was a hellish, nightmarish gauntlet of retail and ( Read more... )

I'm sure that I didn't just have a multiple month posting hiatus.  Certainly a swarm of turbulent thoughts aren't buzzing around in my head just looking for an outlet.

Thank goodness for curse words.

Lately I've been playing World of Warcraft again.  I have successfully negotiated Outlands and reached my increased level of 70, and apparently my ( Read more... )

Dear Santa,

I want a pony and a plastic rocket ship.

That much aside, how's everyone doing?  Good?  Good.

The festive nature of the season demands that I be cheery at you for some reason, ergo you are presented with the quintessential pre-christmas post, outlining my hopes for the holiday -- my dreams, if you will -- and the inevitable hurtles ( Read more... )

Mana is a backstabbing asshole.

Now that I have your attention, allow me to try and add some context to what may otherwise seem a crass exaggeration.

I've taken, recently, to a spree of multiplayer games that can be played 'cooperatively' with ones associates.  'Cooperative' seems to be a misleading term, in most cases.  It seems that the modern ( Read more... )

Tomorrow would be election day, for which I am thankful.  Immediately following are the reasons:

Reason Number 1:  I will have the day off work.
Reason Number 2:  It marks the day where I can begin to watch TV again without watching campaign commercials.
Reason Number 3:  The Daily Show's coverage of the debacle.

And that's about it.
