What happened to my cigarettes?

Posted: Friday, July 31st, 2009 @ 05:30 AM under Random

So, a few days ago I head in to a gas station to get some cigarettes. As I'm asking for them I'm kindly told "we have those for $1 off a pack if you want". "Sure", I replied. Well that's nice of her I thought (probably her job, though). I go outside after purchasing them, light one up and I instantly notice something "is off". They taste... different. Nasty, perhaps stale, and they don't stay lit for shit. They have a tendancy to go ou... (post trimmed)

Bing or Google? I've been using Bing

Posted: Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 @ 06:30 PM under Random

It's actually been kind of suprising but I don't really miss Google. I do miss their toolbar, though. I started using Bing a few weeks back, mainly because I have felt for a while that google's serps are... lacking, and becoming atrociously filled with garbage and lots of it. Too focused on ads, not enough on search. Websites such as Yahoo Q&A, WikiAnwsers, even Wikipedia, and many others do not need 100 entries clogging the serps. I suppose my main beef are with all th... (post trimmed)

Add your websites to my web directory

Posted: Monday, July 27th, 2009 @ 11:18 AM under Random

I've been pretty lazy lately, and while I have some decent reasons a lot of it is just because I can be. I have lots of random things I'd like to do to any number of websites I mess with, but, sometimes you just need more data... One such project was my free web directory. I've had a few signups which is pretty cool considering I've never promoted it. I've not promoted it because it's not finished. The... (post trimmed)

So the Affliction Trilogy card has been cancelled

Posted: Monday, July 27th, 2009 @ 05:53 AM under TV

All because Josh Barnett has tested positive for some steroid or something or the other. This sucks for many reasons. First off, Affliction doesn't put out but a few shows a year, and the last one was a while back. This isn't good for that reason alone. Secondly, we have the Fedor vs Barnett fight. Probably the biggest fight in MMA since Fedor vs Cro Cop and now it's gone before it started. That's truely a shame. I was also looking forward to the Babalu vs Mossasi fight, ... (post trimmed)

Playstation 3 Broken? Games not loading?

Posted: Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 @ 07:12 PM under Games

I can relate. Correction, I used to be able to relate. I've finally fixed my PS3. It's as good as new. Did the Maxell lens cleaner do it? Unfortuantly, no. It did make a cool sound, but I think my problem wasn't dust. More on that later. The Problems... First, I must say that the problems were sparatic far before they became constant. It would be anything from loading games slow, to not recognizing them at all, to skipping/freezing during game loads and/or play,... (post trimmed)

Why is the internet so boring these days?

Posted: Monday, July 13th, 2009 @ 03:32 PM under Random

You know, I've been online for a long damn time. Almost half my life. I've been using the internet regularly since 1996. I've seen lots of stuff come and go, but I've never been this bored. I'm unsure what it is, but the internet is just boring. Let me explain a little, because it's definitly not due to a lack of websites. There's more now than ever, but they're all the same, hundreds of millions of them cloned copies of the latest trend or fad ... (post trimmed)

UFC 100 - GSP dominates Alves, Lesnar mauls Mir

Posted: Sunday, July 12th, 2009 @ 12:47 AM under TV

It's hard for me not to purchase a UFC card featuring GSP, but I was not intending to purchase this one at all. As I'm attempting to get this house in town I only wanted to purchase one PPV this next month and Affliction Triology is by far the better card. But hey, stuff happens. The card was pretty predictable from top to bottom, and just as I had imagined it went exactly how I thought it would. Though the Belcher fight might of been "controversial" in the winner to some...

I'm just dieing without my Playstation 3

Posted: Friday, July 10th, 2009 @ 11:25 PM under Random

I've been having some issues for the last month or so (around the time I finished up Drake's Fortune). It often isn't recognizing discs and when it does they play barely but generally not at all. It takes constantly retrying (I'm talking 30minutes or so here people...) to get it to work. Then, during play, the sound will loop/skip/go completly out. Finally this week it's gotten to the point I can't really even be bothered with it. I searched for anwsers on why t... (post trimmed)

CoD WaW: I hit Prestiege 10

Posted: Friday, July 3rd, 2009 @ 05:18 PM under Games

So finally I've done it. Woo hoo. I stopped at level 13 but I plan to play after this post. I've not played since yesterday and I want to hit 65 and just be done man. It'll be so nice not to start over. I got tired of it after the first time. It's not fun. Boy, I tell you, I've come a long way though. I came from PC gaming to the console last July when I bought my PS3 and HD TV. I never played online really either until I got CoD World at War. I've played CoD 1/... (post trimmed)
