Two things. First, I forgot about those shitty old interview pages, and I'm embarrassed by them. And second, I'm surprised someone found CRG by apparently looking for MegaHAL speaking French. There's our beautiful link right at the top. So honored. Europe people LOVE us. In dumb internet news, I keep getting that stupid worm virus in my Yahoo mail from people I don't even know. The details of that virus are this: it's a worm that's sent with the exact same message body, but the file size and name are always different, and apparently when it's opened, it automatically sends itself to everyone in the infected person's address book. So I guess a bunch of people I don't know have my address in their books, and they've never sent me a mail except by force from this virus. I know I haven't opened or downloaded the file so no one has to worry about me. All I know is that it's lame. I'm planning on having a friend with drawing talents cook up some small replacements for our River City Ransom icons. I'm sending them a donation so we can have some crazy super dee duper KAWAII cutesy anime icons and such for the site. If I can get them to make some Counter-Strike comics, then I could get a new section in, and draw in some CS fans for more pagehits. |

A lot of the boring junk from the original movie, like the typewriters banging out stories, and Woodstein questioning CREEP workers, has all been replaced with much better scenes of Woodstein, in this incarnation literally one person with super powers, screaming insults and taunts at the evil Committee to Reelect the President. The CREEP, in this version, takes the shape of an evil super elite group of bad guys generally doing evil in Washington (or Japan, whatever). Nothing is specified of what they do in this, but they're generally supposed to be evil. I've heard from friends in Japan who love this show that there's a great cop out ending where the CREEP all becomes good guys or something, that sounds like such a clever switch around, eh? Another large change from the original lacking story is the identity of Deep Throat is finally revealed as a giant drooling evil demon, who Woodstein must destroy just when you think the entire series has wrapped up all the loose ends. There was a lot of psychobabble about Deep Throat POSSIBLY being a multiple personality spirit manifestation of one of the guys running the CREEP slush fund or something, but this is all babbled on about by some meaningless side character in a dark room, and he keeps saying that he only suspects these things, in order to cover the fact that the writers are exhaling a lot of shallow, meaningless subplot for no reason. A lot of non-anime fans would probably wonder why this scene exists in the first place. They don't understand the complexities of why anime is so great! ANYWAY. I'm changing a few things with these updates, AS YOU CAN SEE. Urgbn. This isn't much of an update, I know. GHORGLRHOGHRTOG |

What is it about message boards that makes people want to print books to other people? And speaking of a waste of KB: Adminmod. Imagine if you will, a program that hides player slots and doesn't let you know that you can't join until you are forced to reset your computer. This is what happens when little kids grow up wearing a backwards hat, programming a virus that wipes out your entire hard drive because they're so 1337. Giving power to the people that did nothing to deserve it and taking power away from the people with a functioning brain and actual taste in music. |

Well, if we ARE an e/n site, I guess it's safe to say that we're the best one, ever. Anyway! Here's a post about me from the Old Man Murray boards. CREEXUL UNJUSTIFIED (y/t)
[quoted--some other guy]
hE'S aN AnCHoRMan RiGHT?
oR tO THE pEOpLE rEADiNG tHE aUTOcUE
[quoted--ME!!!!!!]
[post--this dink]
And old recovered acid freak once advised me (in all serious) before saying ANYTHING I should consider (1) is this reality (2) is this funny (3) if it's not funny, is it interesting.
A whole rack of 'no's is a bad sign.
After all, what did you say that was so desperately relevant to Diddy's query?
'I don't think so'
SO what? You think we care that you don't think so? Fuck bro, you don't even KNOW so. I could respect THAT, you know, having some fucking certainty. You wouldn't even have to be RIGHT, we'd all repect opinion. Any cheap Korean Starcraft addict with a split anus could come here and post 'i not no' or whatever the hell 'I am fucking clueless on this' is in Korean, you did NOT have to jump the queue.
Which leaves your post with the possible 'sweater or whatever' justfication.
So can we have a poll please, Gentlemen?
Reply with CREEXUL JUSTIFIED somewhere in the subject if the mere mention (and that's all it was) of a sweater in a Dan Rather post is hysterically funny. Or just funny. Or even slightly amusing. Smiley-enough that you felt your life was ENHANCED by reading Creexul's post.
Reply with CREEXUL UNJUSTIFIED in the subject if the 'sweater' joke needed some kind of fleshing out. Maybe with some combinations of words that cause 'amusement' or possibly even 'joy' in the otherwise empty cold-frozen black bitter hurtholes that live in place of your souls. Forget whatever it would take to fix the post -you only have to figure that out in the even of a tie breaker- all you know is as it stands Creexul's above post somehow DIMINISHED your time on Planet Earth. Alive. And connected to the web. And not fiddling with your bit to POE-linked pornograpy.
Thanks. One guy replied. HA. The thread didn't even call for making a point anyway, and I DID answer the question. I WIN THE FLAME WAR. |

Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're no friends o mine. Anyway, I finally updated the gallery, after months of procrastinating. I just put links up to the pictures all on one giant page. Just hit the little gallery button up top there, and go to the bottom where the "page 101" link is. I have half a folder left, and a Diablo 2 screenshots folder to go, which shouldn't be too hard considering how much effort I DIDN'T put into this update. Anyway, our gallery, full of pointless screenshots, pictures of text, and the occasional interesting looking picture, returns in all its CAGgy glory. |

Someone else found our site by searching Yahoo for "A 12 Year Old Being Raped." Probably another anime fan. Here's what showed up. ClansRGay website
It continues with: "nude gay pokemon"; "giant tvs cocks" (??); "tits suck fuck -band young" (they didn't want the word "band" getting in the search); and sadly "clanpages sucks." Clanpages might have pay packages and shit otherwise not allowing files up to and over 100 KB, but they're hosting us (graciously too, when you can find a site named "clansrgay" on a clan hosting web site). The other sites in that search turned up a lot of Counter-Strike players whining about Clanpages for whatever reason. LAME. Oh yeah, and "nude gay gut punching" on Google. If I find a site that actually contains that, I can submit it to Portal of Evil and, I guess, just generally be proud that I got to submit a site to POE. ClansRGay website
Some of these people just need to learn to put their searches in quotes. |

And we never will. By the way, I present to you the gayest desktop shot ever. This is why I'd be AFRAID to live in Japan: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nyt/20010714/ts/fighting_molestation_and_a_stigma_in_japan_1.html |

Oh yeah, and I added a little quote to the top of the reviews page, and made a small note to the AI section of our massive, overrating Half-Life review. PS: The Opera is planning on releasing a patch AFTER the next Half-Life patch, which should be coming really soon. So we'll wait until then to play Opera again, and then after that we'll take a while to give it a full review. Don't wanna review it only after a day of playing. So far it's really good though. |

Bland shitty maps, idiot players in giant waves, a massive amount of cheating (if you think no one cheats, you're just as bad as the cheaters because you're trying to hide a very obvious fact), and lame game rules. What is the point of a game where you spend the majority of your time sitting out rounds. It doesn't matter how good someone is, because in order for everyone good or no good to stay in a round longer than 30 seconds, they'd all have to camp. Boring, lame, and overplayed. I've been playing since beta 3 and the most fun I had was back on my 33K connection when I couldn't get a single kill and we were all playing the decidedly unrealistic Goldeneye map. The cheating doesn't bother me really, because it's impossible to tell if the server had a lag hiccup or if someone has an aimbot. It all adds up to the same frustration and boredom. My real problem is actually that the maps are so vanilla. Amazing how realistic the weapons are and how Quakeish the maps are. I remember when I started playing dod on the caen map, I was overwhelmed. After my career in CS and such other CS wannabe mods, I wasn't ready for an actual DIVERSE landscape where an enemy could be in any number of hiding places. Now, while my CS skills have rusted into junk, my DOD skills have skyrocketed. And yes, you all use the same tired party line "you just suck." When I stopped playing, my average ratio was 2:1. I had a lot of good times with CS but all good things must come to an end. Perhaps one day I will be tired of plain old DOD just like I got tired of plain old CS and SvenCoop and Firearms and FLF. But DOD is still a beta and changes are still being made. I just got tired of waiting around 2 minutes after I died. I'll play a mod that I can actually PLAY most of the time. Staying dead for a half hour is ok if I'm playing a singleplayer game, because I can get out of my chair a few times. I get out of my chair for CS and suddenly the round starts without me. [Note from Jhoh: no one does/doesn't wonder why we don't like CS. No one ever asks us. We ask ourselves, and we give ourselves extremely detailed and bitter answers.] |

I could give some background detail into those two posts, but it would be a waste of time reading it instead of the damn POSTS. Then again, maybe the original fics that are being parodied would be a good point of reference? Fuck, fine, I'll dig them up. "Prelude chapter" and Jsoh's parody. First chapter and my parody. It just dawned on me that I consider Kevin Murphy one of my favorite singers. PS: Has anyone else out there noticed that when it's late at night, and you're trying to sleep, and it's "quiet" outside, if you listen right, you can hear a screechingly loud neverending sound that could be every radio broadcast in its original unfiltered version flying through the air non-stop forever, and when you are finally paying attention to it you realize that even though it's almost not a sound at all, it's louder than your own thoughts? Or is that just my ears? One thing I do know: I can see my eyelashes in front of my face, and I KNOW that it's not something else. Sometimes they're obtrusive. I'm thinking of trimming them, but I probably never will. They seem gray on the tips. |

However, since there's really nothing else to do with the site (and our message board is going stale since Megan said she's not going to post at all if B'tren doesn't, and he says he won't because he doesn't have anything to say apparently!), I guess I'll try to update with more posts and things of interest. I just have to remember to use the lime green for quoted text bunches. Here's a post I made to the OMM boards about the Arcanum demo I've played a bit of. I dont want to say this game (demo) is disappointing.
But I see a billion buttons, squares, boxes, lists, books, springs, pieces of metal, broken guns, numbers, lights, controls, options, spells, skills, arrows, hands, arrow-buttons, and THINGS that are never ever explained. I don't know what that saltpeter does, but when I tried using it at my party member, it threw it at him, and his reaction thingy went from about 63 (sixty three--he likes me) to -1000 (NEGATIVE ONE THOUSAND--SCREAMING ASSFUCK ETERNAL HATRED). I tried putting a new suit on, and it said I can't weild it. Well WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Am I not strong enough, is it not a wearable piece of armor thing?
I'm not really finding it TOO difficult to root through my inventory and quests/gossip journal thingy, but how exactly does that belt work? What are the Diablo 2-ish numbers on them, and what do they mean? What's the saltpeter do? Should I be carrying around all these plants when I already know I can't do shit with them? Can't I increase the mouse speed?
In the Fallout games, the quest was that you HAD to go find something. In this, you explore. I know that there's a huge overall quest in here, and it starts you off with smaller quests and you follow them around the world, but I just feel the game is TOO non-linear for me. I already have about 40 other non-linear or even linear games that I have to finish by now, I don't want another one. And I don't want to have to talk to a TON of people. I feel like I'm on the verge of talking to too many people. The interaction is okay, but I'm so courtiusghb(hgLKWLLWKEflewrhwk!!!!!) to everyone that I feel like lashing out and slicing someone from their neck to their NUTS.
For a steampunk game, there's too much dirt so far. Not in any big cities yet, though. |

Anyway, Jack Lemmon died. A lot of people are talking about how great he was in all his movies, such as Some Like it Hot or Grumpy Old Men or Odd Couple and so on. But the one that really stands out in my mind most of all is Glengarry Glen Ross. Just because it's such a great movie. FUCK YOU, THATS MY NAME. |
