Microsoft Fucked Picnicface over?

Well that's just bullshit, Microsoft has a new ad selling Internet Explorer 8, making fun of Powerthirst. It contains clips of Powerthirst, but oddly enough says "Courtesy of Picnicface Productions Ltd."
Well guess what? This is the first picnicface has heard of it, according to Andrew bush via Facebook. Do I smell a lawsuit? You better believe it.

Hopefully this has nothing to do with Youtube and Microsoft partnering, because then they're fucked due to the Terms of Service.

It's part of a campaign called "IE8 Internet History" and you can find this video here:

I hope Picnicface gets the compensation they deserve,
and maybe some money for just being awesome.

Reviews: Grand Theft Auto IV

I've just finished Grand Theft Auto IV (the main storyline at least), and all I can say is wow.


The storyline is very deep, but is a little too all over the place for my taste. By this I'm referring to the fact that I've worked for everybody and their kitchen sink. Why? Hell if I know. Too many chase missions, there fucking everywhere, and the last thing you want in a chase mission is to fly off of your motorcycle or flip your truck of a bridge. Which seems to be what always happens, goody! Other than that, great, you really get to know the people you're around. You really didn't get to in all of the previous GTA games.
Overall: 9/10

The game play is great, people react accordingly, cars smash and crunch, etc. The only beef I have is with the cops, I ram other cars right in front of them, and then I nick theirs, and they go on a fucking manhunt. Lame.
Overall: 8/10

The graphics are beautiful, clean facial expression, exquisite lighting, and a smooth frame rate. Very rarely did I ever have a problem, frame rate can get a little choppy when everything around you is blowing to freaking pieces. But hey, I expected that.
Overall: 10/10

The sound is awesome. The soundtrack is great and the explosions and gunshots come in crisp and clear. The only problem, well, gunshots don't actually sound like that. Not at all, the most accurate thing I heard was the desert eagle (excluding the RPG-7 of course). Gunshots are more of a popping noise, not the hollywood POW that everybody seems to think. Still, not a huge deal.
Overall: 9/10

Replayability? Eh, not for me. Personally I would get very bored with the story if I were to play it again. It's a very long game that never seems to end, this is something you don't want when you play it multiple times. Although there are many other side missions, so it isn't that bad.
Overall: 7/10

The multiplayer is just terrible. I absolutely hate it. There is very little valid goals, since everyone just wants to run around and blow you up with a fucking RPG no matter what game mode you're playing. You spawn in the most retarded spots where nobody else is. Fun stuff. Not only that, but you must find every single fucking weapon. No thanks!
Overall: 4/10

Whole Game
Overall: 8/10

***SPOILER ALERT***

School has ended, awesome year. :)

This year has officially been over since thursday, and may I say, what a great school year!

The year went by fast, very fast. But I guess time flies when your having fun. Have a decent report card, rounded up from 78.5 , 79. Literally skimmed by without honours. >=[

Oh well, I could give a fuck.

Grad was awesome, well, not so much the ceremony as the dance. The ceremony was boring as all shit, but hell I lived through it. Not only that, but the punch tasted like shit at the reception, friggin 7th graders! But the dance made it all worth while, REALLY fun.

I forgot to blog about this, and I'm surprised because I'm a whiney little bitch, but I lost my cellphone at Wonderland last sunday.  Yum. Called, no-one answered, whatever. I'm back to my old one, which by the way has never let me down (other than it's dyslexic text prediction).

Blah, blah , blah. Summer is here. Hell yes.

Sleep is good, real good.

Am I still whoring out? Oh yes.

Wonderland, may be getting a new ride. As allegedly hinted at by the park reps at Behemothon.
Yay for that.

In other news,
you know what you should do?
Buy a t-shirt. Because you love me.

Chater has cancer? Well, that's no good.

I don't know if I've blogged about this yet or not, but my teacher - Mr. Chater - has been absent from school for a while. He said earlier in the year that he may have cancer in his neck. Today, we finally got the word, Mr.Chater has thairoid cancer.

Well, that sucks.
What a fantastically shitty ending to a shitty week.

9/11 : Are people blind?

Honestly, I was debating with my friends about 9/11 the other day, don't remember how it came up, but that's beside the point.

My friends are pretty familiar with airplanes and basic structure, and you know what the one thing no-one seems to have a counter-point on? An aluminum plane going through a steel building.
That's right my friends, that's a beer can through a steel building right there.


Steel>Aluminum. It's that simple, steel is much stronger.
Don't get my started with the whole "Oh they had a bomb" thing. The strength of aluminum still debunks this. An explosion inside an enclosed space creates energy, this energy will try and find it's way out however possible. However, it would not have much trouble ripping weak aluminum apart. This energy when come out from all angles. We would have see explosions before "the plane hit the building".

Not only that, but what about the ghost plane? Admit it, you noticed it was weird. But have you ever questioned it?

Magical.

Notice there is no hole in the building until AFTER? C'mon, are you people stupid?
I know very few people who are this stupid. If it ever did go through, you think it would create a hole. Huh.

Lastly, haven't you ever questioned the official report? The tower wouldn't collapse under 1/3 of it's own weight, if it did, it would have just collapsed at the slightest disturbance, such as wind.

The tower was designed to take a DC-9! Are you Americans blind?! Think for yourself, the media is pulling your fucking leg and you're all none the wiser.


Obama better not pull this shit like Bush did,

Repeating Nightmare

So I've been having this repeating nightmare lately. A white limo with a blurry red logo speeds down the street and pulls up and chases me. I seem to know this limo is evil and the minute I recognize it I run. An innocent looking civilian also turns around and chases me.

This time specifically I dreamed I went to this milkshake place by Scottys, where I hung out with this white girl and... her asian crew? Yeah, I thought it was odd too. I went the last time with someone (possibly my sister) and while crossing the street at night what I first thought was a speeding bus (which drove me back to the sidewalk, instead of me fully crossing the street.) was this speeding limo, and an old man on the street turned around and started chasing me as well. My sister (and it was definitely her) was on the other side of the empty 4-something lane street and all she could go was watch.

That's not all, it gets weirder.

In another part I remember, Trent, Chris and Alex HC, were shoving my game discs down their pants..?? What the..?! Also, Chris stole my duotangs, but gave them back.

Weirdest of all, my dad had like 5 guns and was aiming at me clicking through his empty clip. This scared the crap out of me as I was afraid there might be a round in the clip. He thought it was funny, I however, did not.

If the person at Scottys WAS Kira, than the theme of this dream no doubt stems from our recent trip to Canada's Wonderland, Milkshakes were drunk, I was with my sister, and there were no doubt TONS of asian people.

However, this is a repeating (I beleive) dream and I have had it before with different themes.

I woke up from this dream at 3:59 AM, I finished writing this on paper at 4:23 AM.
