Oh no you didn't

I lol'd in class because of an odd question a girl asked me, so random.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Girl waits in line next to Jason's desk to turn in work)
Girl: What if I slapped you?
(Jason looks at the girl, the class looks at them both)
Jason: Isn't that called foreplay?
(The class and girl start laughing aloud)
Girl: You're funny.
(The girl goes and talks to someone else, Jason gets back to work)

Tude....much

Third period Mac hell again. Our assignment is to make a magazine travel ad with photoshop. Cake. i'm done and just sitting here. My teacher comes over to me and says let me see your work. so i show him. he then starts to say "are you logged in?!" and i say "yeah" then he goes "WHY ARE YOU MOUNTING YOUR ACCOUNT!?!?!". i throw him a puzzled look. he then goes on to explain how i dont need to be logged in to mount my account. then it comes to my knowledge tha it doesn't make a damn difference what i do. so i say "if this was a pc we wouldn't have this problem, macs suck" He then start telling me if i want an F so i say"......you dont have to get all justin long about it"

It's as if it's a new game


Just got a new phone, whole family switched over to T-Mobile. Pretty new-gen compared to my old Razor. Thing is that we all share 700 minutes and there's four of us. The phone has Hotspot though, I think it allows me to talk for unlimited minutes while I'm at home because I we got a T-Mobile router too. That's fun. No minutes for me when I talk to friends that also have T-Mobile, so that means anyone without T-Mobile DON'T CALL ME! Like I would because I'm really popular, Ha!

Summary: It's purrty cool.

Johnny Chang



He has gold.

It's just a damn gun!



Ok so I beat the F'nah outta this game. Disappointing to me though, the game went total mainstream. Not focused on squad based tactics.

Pretty much you just have your squads lay down fire and have yourself pick off every kraut you see. The game feels more drama for your mama mixed with an original fps along with some one-man-hero-Forrest Gump.

So here's how it goes:

You start off landing and you kill dudes then that's when you, Sgt. Matt Baker, start having psychological problems. Some of your men die which aid that problem, then you're in a hospital chasing after a Pvt. Franky because he ran in there to kill germans and save a girl. Along the way you need to snipe a billion germans just to save a kid AKA John Rambo Jr. because the kid caps off every damn german he sees. Blah Blah Blah all the way to the last mission.

Ok the last mission, I was expecting a really intense fight such as defending from countless german counter-attacks. No! Instead you play as SQUID MAN blowing shit up in a tank. Not even, kill a few germans here and a few Panzers there and BAM! Game finished. After that there's the final cutscene which shows you that your best friend, Sgt. Joe "Red" Hartsock, is now paralyzed and is going to be sent home. Then you sit against a tree and have a conversation with a dead man that gives you a hint..

"So Matthew. You just survived through hell, what do you feel about snow?"

I already know, The Battle of the Bulge. WTF!? I know it's going to be way over the top with more of this psychology bull crap because all we did was just sit on our asses during the snow! A whole game based on sitting on our asses and listening to dead people and bitching from your squad that hates you because you kept a juicy secret from them? Oh yeah, let me tell you the secret that made Matt's whole squad hate him.

In the first game you lose two of your men that was heart breaking, not mainstream. They died under the command of a radioman named Legett, he was the dead man having a conversation with Matt. In this game it shows a cutscene where Legett tells you how they died. The two guys were Allen and Garnett.

They were patrolling until Legett gets into a verbal fight with Allen, obviously shouting so loud enemies can hear them. So Legett gets really pissed and punches Allen in the FACE that sends Allen falling to the ground. Garnett tells them to quiet it until he gets shot in the FACE! Allen then runs and stabs a german in the neck but gets shot in his gut. He stumbles back over to Legett to pick up his gun and shoots the german because the german's gun jammed. Then Allen says "Sorry Legett.." and dies there.

Ok so basically Legett got them both killed and told this to Matt. Matt said to him to keep it a secret from everyone because if they found out they would kill Legett. Legett told some british guy, found out in this game and not in the previous two, who fights for the allies, ok.. The british guy threatens to tell the squad if Matt doesn't first, so Matt tells the squad.

Summary: MAINSTREAM DRAMA FOR YOUR MAMA BS!

BiAHH First Impression

So I eagerly rushed out from work and picked up my pre-order of Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway yesterday. After gazing at the 6" Matt Baker GI Joe with 13 accesories w/ kung fu action me and my bro painfully decided to keep it in it's plastic shrine forever. The CE also came with a tiny ass map of Operation Market Garden, I thought it was going to be like a poster. Anyway, we popped in the disc and we commenced playing (sorry about the broadcast guys, we had it setup but Justin.tv went down like 10 minutes into the game and we couldn't wait for it to come back up).

The intro was great. We were totally into the story and we were happy to see scenes from the previous games remodelled in next-gen glory for the intro / cutscenes. Then we started to notice that the game had a less "authentic" feel than the previous games, but whatever we were shooting dudes in the face and commanding our squads, good fun. Then the game started going crazy on us like a spider on LSD. I don't wanna give any spoilers away but there are some 'solo' esque parts like MOHAA style which should never belong in the BiA series in the first place, you play as a tank and at one point this game you play in a spooky hospital with your screen throwing up quick flashes of a dead person which totally reminded me of F.E.A.R. Keep in mind that this is in a supposedly authentic squad-sim military shooter.

 
We know how you feel, Matt.


Anyway, I think we're nearing the end of the game, the story is starting to pick up again so hopefully it'll end on a good note.

F'nah 'phnat Gaming



Well, yesterday didn't really go as planned but I was able to play some Civ: Colonization and it's pretty cool, doesn't really play like Civ4 although the mechanics are still there. I played as the English colony (USA!!) and pretty much got bullied around by the King until like 20 turns before the game ended and said FOOK YOU! Within 5 turns he freaking landed a ginormous army and pretty much wiped me out...anyways still learning how to play that.

Didn't get too much time in with WAR since I wanted to play some Civ but I did finish a public quest and got ganked by some dood 15 levels higher than me (he was an all white wearing Witch Hunter with a bad ass cape). Jason is a beast with the RvR, he always scores like 22:1 KDR. Anyway Im planning on getting BiAHH this evening so I'll be broadcasting that live if anyone is interested.

Www.t-mobileg1.com

Just getting this in now...

Just posting an update right now cause I'll probably be surrounded in gaming bliss for the remainder of the day (Brothers in Arms Hells Highway, Civ4 Colonization, and Warhammer, oh my). First off, me and my bro picked up a copy of Warhammer Online. It's totally reminiscent of WoW, if they didn't get the license to use their engine then it seriously could be some kind of copyright infringement. Anyway it's been fun for the first few levels (or Ranks) just mindlessly killing stuff and getting back into an MMO (...I wonder how long this one will last, AoC totally had issues). Some quick features about the game I like so far:

- Public Quests: You can just roll up into an area and then join a quest that's going on at that instant. It's open to everyone around the area for the quest and depending on how much you contribute to completing the quest, the better chance of scoring the big loot at the end. These take about 5 min or so to complete and offer some pretty good loot for your time (so far).

- Lore: All the orcs/greenskins are retarded which makes for some funny yet hard to read dialogue.

- Open RvR: You're immediately flagged for PvP once you enter the game. There's like only 2 areas that you're safe at, so you're constantly getting renown or honor from the get go. You can start cashing in renown points for some nice gear / potions which helps jumpstart you into the game.

Anyway if you happen to have the game and are looking to join us we're on Hochland
Jason: Fill (Greenskin Shaman)
RJ: Globb (Black Orc Tank thing)

It's about that time..

Sweet Jesus

THIS JUST IN! I finally received my conformation email from Boxee. Whats Boxee?!?! Boxee is a free open source cross media platform media center. its freaking amazing. hit the jump for some info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxee

Anyways, why im so excited is because i sent them an email 3 weeks ago to get approved for there Alpha testing. As of 10:30 today, i am an official Alpha Tester for Boxee on Linux. I guess I'm a little nerdy, but I'm so excited. I've been watching this for a long time, so being able to be a part of it is freaking awesome.

Upcoming Game Night

I know we haven't done a Game Night in awhile, we'll probably do one on the new Silent Hill game coming out this weekend (have to put it on the Queyou list)...(I dunno why people play scary shit like that, but we sacrifice ourselves for you, you see!). Anyway there'll be a special Game Night coming out next week as well, since me and my bro have been waiting for this game for THREE years, yeah that's right Matt FOOKING Baker son! Brothers In Arm's Hells Highway comes out on the 23rd. Usually I don't justify the usual extra 10 bucks to get the special or limited edition copies of games but this game gives you a bad ass Matt Baker GI Joe. Who can say no to that?! I mean come on, LOOK AT IT, damn that shits so dope! U.S.A!!!!!!

MS Fights Back!



Microsoft has launched their 300 Million dollar ad campaign against Mac and it looked to take off to an awkward start when MS released the first of many Seinfield centric commercials. It involved Bill Gates, a shoe store, and some talk about an edible OS, oh yeah and hot dogs...So I guess MS felt compelled to release another series of commercials that will fight back against the Mac ads with some guy who looks like the "I'm a PC" dude in the Mac commercials.

Anyway, the main reason I'm posting about this is to help join the cause and post a picture of yourself, a PC USER, to the official MS Ad Website where they can use your pic in future commercials, or feature it on the big screen at Time Square. The time has come, OVER THE TOP!!

Guitar Hero IV Mystery Instrument Revealed



GHIV has been on our minds ever since it was announced earlier this year, and we definitely plan on making alot of music using the game's music creator (which actually is pretty advanced considering it's for a console). If you've been following up on this game as well then you'll probably want to know about the latest announcement regarding the game's "mystery" instrument.

That instrument isn't an instrument at all, it's a feature that lets you upload/create/share music through your PC. Sounds dope right? Well there's a catch. The PC software is only available/compatible with the PS3 version of the game. I'm real skeptical about anything PS3 related since they usually get the shaft on cross-platform games (remember their defunct guitar problem with Rock Band last year?). I'll probably end up getting the PS3 version since I know we'll be making a whole bunch of tunes and want to share them with you directly but I'm definitely bummed that I can't get the 360 version.

Tell 'em



Soulja boy is retarded, but this video is so damn hilarious!

Zune 3.0 Software Update Released



The new 3.0 software update for the Zune came out earlier today, adding a few more features to both the Zune software and firmware. You can now tag songs that you hear over the radio (assuming the radio station streams the artits/track data needed) and you can also use the Zune Marketplace from your Zune and download songs directly through the WiFi connection. There's also built in support for games now, two are available with the firmware update which are Texas Hold'em and Hexic.

The software for the Zune Marketplace has also been updated, you can now burn anything you download from the marketplace to CD/DVD. There is also a new channels section where you can find playlists of songs that are reccommended for you based off the songs you listen to, and also "themed" playlists like a workout playlist that is rated at a certain BPM for exercising. All in all this is much more than I expected this holiday season from MS. Now if they would just open up all artists for the Zune Pass....

Submitted through the approval of the midnight society

CoD4 came today, playing that.

I think I made a new friend at school, and he's a gamer. Oh but not just your average gamer, a PC GAMER! Yep, only FPS though but I guess you can't have everything. We've played a bit together, he's experienced.

Well that's it, oh yeah he gives me SLIM JIMs at break. Woot.

Jason Reviews Castle Crashers

Another video review, Jason reviews Castle Crashers for the 360.

Mega64 does Parrappa

Cut the lettuce.

3rd Period...again

Man, there is just so much news going on in the world....well....our world at least. I guess i could start of with the announcement of UP2. Thats unamed project 2 for all y'all not in the know. And yes, were still making one despite what Erika thinks. So be sure to keep checking in for them updates. You probably thought this wasn't possible but...this movie is gonna be 10 times better that the last one. Need not you forget we hyped, filmed, and edited Honeybee in less than a week. So a Halloween release date is looking like a big relief. So once again get ready for SPAMZORZ. Some more news is that our Band is taking off. We are nailing songs down when we goof around which can only mean we do awesome stuff when we really put our minds to it. I guess thats it for now. Get ready for the biggest fall blockbuster coming soon. hopefully we have a trailer up soon. PEACE

Wow

I just received an early Christmas present, from my boss no less. It's one of those ultra portable mini notebooks that are all the rage now since Asus introduced their Eee's. It's an HP Mini, forgot the model, but its pretty damn small, about 9 inches wide and about 5 inches long and has a tiny 8.9 inch screen. I've been using it for awhile and although it came pre-installed with Vista Home, it has pretty much everything you need from a laptop minus a card reader and an optical drive. I plan on taking this thing everywhere with me since its so small and post blogs wherever theres a wifi AP. Heck we can even do a live feed from this thing if we wanted to. Anyways, I never thought I'd be so stoked about something from HP, I mean it is still a proprietary laptop, but I can almost fit the damn thing in some wide pockets...

Yes, it has been declared

Jason is sad


So I was at Anthony's house dealing dope, ARMY OF TWO with the dope. We did it for the dope, not for the revenge!

Anyways I remember that I told a friend of mine to watch honeybee because she hasn't yet, who the heck hasn't seen honeybee yet? So I called her up and had her on speaker, she answered and told me what she thought.

Basically she kicked me right in the nuts, she didn't like the movie. She thought it was stupid, it was so harsh from her mouth. My self-esteem dropped so low, she also said "Well what did you think I was going to say? I mean it wasn't good."

I said bye, me and Anthony just sat there..
--------------------------------------------------
Anthony: ...
Jason: ...
Anthony: Well.. At least she told us the truth.
Jason: ... I'd rather her lie to me instead. I'm sad now.
--------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, her name is Erika. She goes to PHS, she has Anthony for 3rd Period.

Im severly pissed off with the del taco on ave s. They have been makin some fookin bland and watery beans for almost a month now, pretty much killing my burritos and nachos i used to love. Now it tastes and looks like shit. Fuck you bean asshole maker at del taco. Fuck you.

Castle Crashers Chips


Castle Crashers found in a Trader Joes somewhere, just had to post this.

The End.. For today.

Not really the end just yet, going to play a bit more then go to bed. Just wanted to put something up since I haven't in a while.
---------------------------------------
Period 1
(Mr. Carrigan taps on Jason's shoulder)
(Jason wakes up)
Mr. Carrigan: Why aren't you working?
Jason: I prefer to do it at home.
Mr. Carrigan: What kind of excuse is that?
---------------------------------------
Period 2
Mr. Chilton: The old man sleeps a lot.
(Silence)
Mr. Chilton: Old is the adjective, just like me.
(Mr. Chilton quietly chuckles to himself)
---------------------------------------
Period 3
(Jason looks at the boy next to him)
Boy: Ah man what's the teacher's name?
Girl: ...rmwell.
(The boy is lost)
Boy: Ay yo Miss B.
(The teacher walks up)
Teacher: It's ...rmwell.
(Jason didn't hear the teacher clearly)
(Jason goes back to work)

Spore Update

Well me and Jason have been playing some Spore every now and then and although I can't sit down for long sessions with that game, the sheer level of how the community contributes to your world is pretty damn mind blowing. When I first booted up the game, I have to admit I wasn't really impressed. Click here, evade that, eat food, but when you start getting into the good stuff the game quickly expands into something so much better.

Heres a quick glimpse at me and Jason's creatures:

RJ: Bannanae


Jason: PhigKnewton


...and yes, someone has already made a penis monster, the creator hasn't even played the game yet.

The long awaited M733 Review

Finally fixed our server and was able to pull this relic off the hard drive and post it for all our fans of the Dubbo Eeego review, enjoy!

Sunday, September 7, 2008

Launch Party Update

UPDATE the line for spore is growing! Me and this other guy are patiently waiting for the doors to blow open from Spore's awesomeness. Weve been waiting for 4 hours now, what an experience! The other guy said his first creature will be living version of Robert DeNiros mole from HEAT, not post-Casino era.

Why am I here.....oh yeah Spore. Where's the huge line? Oh yeah.....PC game...

25 Reasons Why Mac's Suck.






1. Justin Long is a dick - There are only two people who are fans of Justin Long, his agent and his mother. And to be perfectly honest, we're not even sure about the latter.
2. Shinier = better - Just because your computer is shiny and aluminum doesn't mean it's better. We'll take a Lenovo X300 over a MacBook Air any day.
3. We don't want to be Steve Jobs' bitch - You guys constantly get reamed by the House of Jobs, whether it's the incessant train of forced hardware upgrades, lightning fast price cuts, or the industry standard features that Apple supports with proprietary implementations, Mac users get hit where it hurts most--the wallet.
4. OS X is awesome - It's not nice to pick on disadvantaged folks (it's the reason why we seldom pick on Mac users). We all know that OS X is awesome, but we defend Vista even though it sucks because it's what we're stuck with. Just because you've got something that's better, doesn't mean you need to get all Justin Long about it.
5. Team Fortress 2 kicks ass - We believe you when you say you have more important things to do than play games. Like sitting in Starbucks dressed in stonewashed jeans wishing you could play games. But hey, Oregon Trail still rocks, right?
6. Elmo had a line, too - We can't dispute that hundreds waited in line for the Mac OS X Leopard release, just as many also clamored for the Tickle Me Elmo doll when it first came out. But we're still not trading in our cooler toys to get one.
7.  We have Newegg - Intel P45 motherboard: $99. Core 2 Duo E8400: $170. 2GB DDR3-1333 RAM: $80. Not having to throw away your PC and buy a brand new one when it comes time to upgrade: Priceless.
8. Secure in our insecurity - You love to tout the lack of viruses targeted towards Macs as an indication that Macs are more secure, but could it be that even hackers don't give a f*** about Mac users? In a way, it'd be like invading Iceland. It's not that it can't be done, but what's the point?
9. Mighty Mouse -  Like all things Mac, the Mighty Mouse is cute. And also mighty lame compared to the Logitech G5PC users have been computing with for the past 24 months. But then again, what would a Mac user do with all those buttons?
10. Who compiles 25 reasons of why Macs don't suck? - Mac users do. And while we'd love to spend time coming up with 25 retorts, we have better things to do. Like play games, run executables, overclock, watch NBC Olympics On The Go, and not overpay for under powered hardware.

Help Us Help You!!!


I'm planning on getting a movie night going but to get the real experience of the movies we are going to be showing, I need more then a TV!!! We need to get our hands on a projector for the one night. So I'm giving a shout out to all the fans and the readers that if they have or know someone with a projector to try and contact any of the members of Elephnat. We would only need it for 1 night no more then a few hours. Spread the word guys and gals!! Help us help you!!!!!

Chromed Out.

 Sorry for the lack of updates, just picked up Mercs 2 and been having fun with that. Anyways, it looks like Google is stepping up to the plate and developing their very own browser. It's kinda funny cause Google is the current king in interweb apps and software, but they never really tapped into the web browser market. It's currently called "Google Chrome" which just screams dopeness.



Here are several of the dope features that will be available in the first beta version.

-It has a tab centric interface
-It uses sandboxing to prevent malware
-It includes an anti-phishing features
-It uses a new JavaScript implementation to provide optimun web performance
-It includes the Google Gears platform to enable online apps to provide offline capabilities

It has dropped, here is the link. http://www.google.com/chrome
*8/3/2008 Update - There is a big flaw with Chrome right now that allows sites to drive-by download malicious software onto your computer with this current version of Chrome. I personally can't recommend anyone downloading this until the big G patches this security flaw, they should fix this relatively soon since it is an old flaw with the webkit version they used to make the browser. If you do use Chrome, use it with caution!!

here ya go

Heres your daily dose of my 3rd period wrong doings. Just so you know, nobody knew who this baby was until he got his forehead tatted up.




enjoy
