Swine Flu [chat]

The World Health Organization (New World Order) announced today that the outbreak of the Mexican Swine Flu could become a pandemic.

How many minutes into Lou Dobbs's and/or Glenn Beck's monday broadcast before they blame the outbreak of swine flu of "illegals." Also, I bet our buddy Tom Metzger will be all over it in the Times Union's letters page.

It is a good week to be going out of the country.

30 Rock has no right to be this funny.

Also? I have written 1,326 of the 6,000 words I need for my William James term paper. And only 800 of those are "fuck".

I'm the worst grad student ever.

Kings has been cancelled. There is a chance they finish the season during the summer.

_J_ said...

If another network picks up Kings I have to believe in a God. That is the deal I made with reality.

....

If it's picked up again.. would the new station be annointed by Butterflies?

_J_ said...

Yes.

Yes it would be.

Roscoe said...

So... Amber was up here, earlier tonight... She's the girlfriend of one of the guys I live with. Nice girl, clear alcoholic.. I mean.. even in relative terms.. but.. nice, right?

and... it's Day 1 of Spring Term.. so... the booze be fluid for those who want it.

Anyways.. she came up, three sheets to the wind, and began asking if the Tivo grabbed the new episode of Kings.. and by new episode, she meant one that didn't air.

She hadn't heard about the cancellation order or summer burnoff.

Long story.. well.. still long and boring - she spent half of the Daily Show loudly proclaiming that Kings was great and NBC were bitches.

Unknown said...

I am a fan of that girl and her raspy-raspy voice.

_J_ said...

I am also a fan of that girl as I understand her.

Roscoe said...

She's a hoot. A strange, somewhat sad hoot, but a hoot none the less.

Unknown said...

@Mikey, our local prophetI salute you.

Mike Lewis said...

what can i say, Tommy Metzger is very predictable.

Mike Lewis said...

Stay classy Sarah Palin

Mike Lewis said...

Stay Class Virginia Foxx.

Roscoe said...

That was some primo Metz, too.

_J_ said...

Virginia Foxx is epic win.

Retro Game Challenge.

It's like The Last Starfighter, except it's some fucking Japanese douche bag who traps you in the 80s and makes you play genre fare until you earn your way back. I've only played a bit, after MONTHS of anticipating how awesome this could be. What follows are the impressions:


1) If you find it hard to play old games without someone holding a gun to your head, this is the way to go. The games are not micro-minigames in the wario ware style, but rather actual endlessly repeating arcade style games with specific challenges (beat level four without warping past it, score 200,000 points etc). Understanding where the world of games comes from without actually having to play old games ahoy. I consider this to be a positive.

2) The world of retro land is uneven and actually sometimes punishes you for knowing things even while rewarding you. Wax nostalgic for MIDI music and girl-gets-kidnapped intros? Good for you. Recognize Dave H. and Dan Sock as magazine writers and editors? Fuck you for recognizing anachronisms. Your buddy speaks to you in English while you sit on your tatami mat and look through your paper fucking window? The retro-illusion is in trouble due to region trouble? Lame. Whose 80s is this, anyway?

3) I'm not at all proud of it, but much of the fun of this game is determining what actual games the fake games are aping. It's been either very very easy or actually a little difficult depending on the game. The hybrid game(s) are standouts for their being actually slightly original while mimicking the tropes of genres past.

4) There's a sequel, apparently. Jesus christ why would the even do that.

I spent the evening at the bar manipulating my friends.

It's good times. None of them have learned the tricks you have all learned.

Roscoe said...

Oh SHITS!

He's been released into the wilds, with all the tricks of Humanity!

Please, if you value your dignity and at all like Deadpool, stay the fuck away from Origins.

Oh my god Kyle is again correct.
