Let me share a bit of history for those that don’t know me. When I was young, that is to say very, very young (IE up to about 2nd grade), I was a very angry child. I was what they call a “Roman candle”, the littlest spark would set me off into a huge storm [...]

Lost Planet 2: An Exercise in Fuckstration
In which Jon finds that Lost Planet 2 is not the game for him. WARNING: This is by far the most vitriol filled post Jon has created, consider yourself warned.
I fucking hate Bad Company 2
Let me preface my little spiel here by saying that I like Bad Company 2, and it is one of the first console shooters I’ve played online and enjoyed doing so for a long period of time. Heck, I’ve already got my 5 days of service award (and am only 1 achievement away from getting [...]
Blu-Ray Unskippable Bullshit
Recently I received Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (on Blu-Ray) from Netflix. This is one of those movies that you get in the mail and you ask yourself “Why did I add this to my queue?” After some watching it, you realize “Oh yea, Moon Bloodgood was in it and she is hot.” While [...]
How To: Unfuck (restore) Firefox 3.6 tab opening order
If you’re a regular user of Firefox (as I have been since way back before 1.0), or ANY OTHER piece of software that has tabs in it, you know that when you open a new tab, it opens all the way at the fucking end (on the right). As of Firefox 3.6 they changed this [...]

NOW PUT IT INTO YOUR GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING GAME DEMOS YOU STUPID FUCKS. It’s one god damn fucking option, it really isn’t that hard. I was raised on flight sims, and [...]
StarCraft 2: From Day One Purchase to Piracy
I think it is safe to say that Starcraft (the original) was one of my all time favorite games. It is one of those few rare games that I kept going back to playing time and time again (much like Planetside). If I didn’t have it installed, inevitably it would be installed at the next [...]
Hasteno is a Scam
I just want to preface this posting with the obvious: This is my personal investigation of the site. I could be wrong, though I don’t think I am. If you’ve got more information on this website, I’m all ears. Hateno.com. Is. A. Scam. I thought I’d make it really simple for everyone as to what [...]
BART costs $300 million a mile to build?! WTF?!
As a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area I ride BART from time to time. I know many people who ride it every working day as their sole mode of transport to/from the office. I luck out in not having that sort of commute, but it is still a great mass transit system in [...]
