Over the last week or so, i've been called a butthole, an idiot and a prick I've had two blog posts dedicated to how big an idiot i am. Having just been informed that the second blog post calling me an idiot is acceptable, as it doesn't mention me directly, as well as being moderated myself for reasons i cannot agree with, i've decided it's time to move on.

A place where a user can relentlessly insult and abuse other members and be allowed to continue posting, while those who go out of their way to be friendly are punished for petty Terms of Use technicalities is not for me.

Yeah, that's right, i posted three blogs in one day. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

So i just realised that i've been paying to subscribe to gamespot, and with that i get certain benefits. Awesome. One of those benefits is the ability to make my own forum board, invite whoever i like to use it, craft it however i wish.

Now, there are lots of these boards floating around gamespot, many of which are pretty dead. So that got me thinking, how exactly should i use this board of mine? What would be a cool way to use it, which people might y'know... actually use?

Ideas? Suggestions? GO!

Careful where you walk, 'cause i'm dropping some knowledge all over the place:

1) There are twice as many Kangaroos in Australia than there are people.

2) If you flew from London to New York on a jet, you would arrive two hours before you left.

3) It is recommended that you keep your toothbrush at least 6ft away from the toilet to avoid fecal matter being thrown from the bowl when you flush.

4) You burn more calories while you sleep than you do while watching TV.

5) When you put a shell next to your ear, the sound you hear is not the ocean, but actually the amplified noise of blood running through the vessels in your ear.

6) Every person on earth spent roughly 30 minutes of their existance as a single cell.

7) 90% of the atoms which make up your body will be replaced some time in the next year.

8 ) The law in kansas requires pedestrians to wear tail lights when crossing a highway in the dark

9) Paper money is not made out of paper, but out of very thin cotton, with the exception of Australian paper money, which is actually a form of plastic.

10) In paraguay, dueling is legal provided both participants register as blood and organ donars first.

You should listen to this

Epic, though be warned, there's the occasional cuss-word so dont click if you imagine you'll be offended by that sort of thing.

Moving on...

So a week or so ago i asked for some ideas regarding what to waste my pay check on. Well, your ideas were all lame. I ended up picking up the following:

1) A totally sweet pair of vintage reeboks:

High-tops for the win!

2) Some american apparelage

I cant find specific pictures online, but i picked some sweet apparel from american apparel.

3) Radiohead's last studio album, on glorious vinyl:

4) Halo 3

Yes, it's hella old by now, but i saw it on sale for 9.99 and couldn't resist. I had it previously (the epic legendary edition) and played it to death, only to end up having to sell it on eBay when i was low on cash. Now that i've taken ODST for a test drive and finally unlocked that sweet recon armour, it seemed silly to not have it back in my collection.

Hail to the chief

And that's all the money i've wasted for now. I decided to do the smart thing (for once) and save some cash up so that i can invest in a swanky new iPhone some time in the next couple of months. The phone i have right now is pretty decent, but it's a nokia and as such crashes, glitches, bugs up and doesn't work with my Mac. I also really, really want an mp3 player, and an iPhone would let me have the two in one. Sweet!

Plus, they're supposedly carrying it in on more networks next month, so the price should be cut down. Totally sweet!

Games and gaming and what not

Right now when it comes to games i'm in a strange situation, in that there are so many games i want to play, i sorta end up not playing any of them. I cant decide which one to get, or whether to get any right now when i could wait for x and y coming out next month. I want to play Forza 3, just as much as i want to play Borderlands, while also loving the appeal of Brutal Legend and looking forward to Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2. It's too much, i cant take it!!

I could drop hundreds right there if i was so inclined, but i dont want to be poor for three months (again). Perhaps the best option would be to hold off until January and then pick some up in the sales?

Who knows.

With all the hooplah over the system wars awards, i completely forgot to say - i got invited to GUFU. Hurrah! I remember checking it out months back and realising it was invite-only. Rather than cry until they let me in like i did with Avant (it worked!) i figured i'd just leave it alone and hope i got invited some day.

And i did! Which is sweet, as it's probably the most active union left on Gamespot, and an awesome place to post on top of the usual Off Topic and System Wars hangouts.

Now i just need to start my long-running plan to have GUFU and Avant declare war on each other. Y'know... for the funnies.
