Dear Lord

This whole, selling in game gold for real money thing is getting out of hand.

Priceless

I’ve been adding metadata for my pictures. It’s a long process, considering that there are thousands of digital images. It is worth it, when I search for “drunk” or “stripper” with someone’s name and get results.

As I was browsing them, I realized that the most important pictures of my life will be seen by maybe a dozen people, and I’m fine with that.

Last 24 Inches

Just for kicks, I finally filled out one of those customer service surveys that are inscribed (usually on the last two feet) on your average Best Buy receipt Rest assured that I have told them, in no uncertain terms, that I am very dissatisfied with the overall experience, and I will definitely be shopping with them again because the alternative is the CD/Game Exchange across the street, which is icky.

Anyone else find it ironic that the website is “www.bestbuycares.com?” Because I never, ever get that feeling when I’m in a Best Buy.

Ah, mainstream

Well, now that Murdoch’s got his hand in the business of reporting on video games, I predict that we can see fair and balanced reviews from unbiased sources, telling the american people the truth.

They've done it

There is now a razor that has four blades, and is battery operated. For lo, I present to you a razor far beyond mortal comprehension.

One day they’ll create a razor with so many blades—it will destroy us all.

They’ve even got a very swank infomercial parody website up. It’s a little over the top. Part of me wants to believe that it’s self referential humor, that they know how ridiculous this is. The other part knows better.
