Techno Viking

For anyone who hasn't seen this before this is the Techno Viking, first time i have seen this but I have seen numerous photos of him on the net, like in the one above.

So here he is, pretty cool vid, i would love to know what they are following, maybe it is some sort of float like in American ticker tape parades.

I laughed so hard

I don't think this is 100% authentic, but I don't care, this is a great vid.

Atheism

OK I have been an Atheist for a long time, even when i was a kid at a Church of England primary school i still questioned everything.

But whilst drinking my morning coffee and smoking my morning cigarette, it dawned on me, I am going to make this short and sweet.

If Jesus was the son of god, the same god that created all of mankind, how come only a small amount of the human population knew about him? why wasn't Jesus sent all around the globe with gods superpowers so that everybody knew how to behave and what to believe?

Want to know why? because it is a bunch of bull.

If any of the religions were true then the whole world would believe in them because all of humankind would know about the same god, but instead all we have is a bunch of fucked up theories that cause war and segregation between countries and even neighbourhoods.

Previews of films at the cinema

I went to the cinema today with my girlfriend to watch "gone baby gone" by Ben Affleck and before the film started we got at least 15 minutes of adverts, which I am used to by now. I actually enjoy watching some of the adverts because they are in full, the way that the original producers of the adverts wanted you to see them. But for now that isn't my problem, my problem is with the adverts that follow the usual commercial BUY OUR PRODUCT OR DIE part of being at the cinema, it's the part where they give you previews of films.

When watching a film that you have wanted to see for a long time and you missed the chance to watch at the cinema, of which you also are too lazy to rent on DVD, eventually (after a couple of years) comes on T.V, you do not want your cock of a best friend to tell you either what happens before you watch it, or to tell you right before a good part, and why it is a good part. When I am watching a film with someone that has already seen the film and I know what they are like, I tell them that they are not allowed to speak during the film because I enjoy the element of surprise.

Getting back to my point of the previews at the cinemas. Whilst sat watching the previews at Cineworld cinemas I encountered numerous films that I knew that I would end up watching (although the film that I was there to watch was about the abduction of a little girl all but one of the previews were for horror films). The film that was previewed that really grabbed my attention was a film called "The Mist" of which was written by Steven King, this film at the first ten seconds of the preview looked really interesting, the preview showed people being frightened and running away from what looked like a thick white fog (mist), then showing a large group of people in a small looking supermarket quickly closing the door to stop the quickly approaching mist from getting in. This was followed by the group of people who seemed to be trapped inside the supermarket holding a rope that was attached to a man slowly walking out of the door and into the mist, this was quickly followed by the rope being pulled at tremendous speed by whatever is in the mist, and we saw the rope being pulled back with blood on.

By this point i was dragged into the film, I already wanted to see the film because I didn't know what was in the mist or if it was the mist itself killing people. But guess what, the preview didn't end there, the rest of the preview showed what was killing the people, basically a monster. This seriously pissed me off because I was already captivated by the preview and not only did I not want to know more, I DIDN'T need to know more.

Have promoters never heard the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" the reason why that phrase is around in the first place is because when people are curious, they investigate, and when people wonder what's in the fucking mist they will go and look in the fucking mist and they don't need to know about something that will probably be revealed halfway through the fucking film spoiling the first 45 minutes of something that would have been 10x better if they had watched without knowing what was killing the people in the film.

This is not the first time this has happened, I am poor at giving examples but I know for a fact that I have been watching a film and known what was going to happen because I had seen it in a fucking preview.

Here is a similar preview, please note that it is not the same preview that I saw at the cinema, this particular preview is a lot less revieling then the one I saw because this one just shows massive insects not monsters, but it gives you the general idea of what I am trying to point out.



Please comment on this post because I am very passionate about this and it has pissed me off for along time.

For anybody who uses Myspace or Last.fm to listen to music...

You can now download songs directly from Last.fm and Myspace using this really useful tool by "freemusiczilla" even though they have given their site a retarded name they have invented a pretty cool piece of software which allows you to rip the music straight from the website.

There are a couple of bugs that could be fixed, like the inability to rename the tracks in the software (you have to go into your file to rename them) and all the tracks that you save are called 51241415.mp3 so you have to basically rename them straight away if like me you have a bad memory. And also you have to be listening to the Last.fm track for it to be ripped, and you can't skip it until the track is fully downloaded.

Other then that though i have been using it to its full potential since installing it. The software is completely free and easy to use if you read the "how to" on the page.

The software can also be used for ; IMEEM, Pandora, iJig, MOG, RADIO.BLOG.CLUB and eSnips. Not that i use any of those but i can imagine they are good sites.

Just thought i would help the pirates, pirate.

What the hell sort of job is this?

Is it me or do those two guys seem to be doing the same job that a piece of concrete could be doing? and wouldn't it cost less to make a slab of concrete hold these poles rather then pay these guys by the hour whilst planes fly so low down that the wings could almost trim their hair if it had razor blades taped to it, now THAT would be impressive. Either way i have balls but you wouldn't get me standing there holding that.


I found this photo on one of those "Amazing photo's" websites that is basically a blank page with 20 - 30 pictures, fortunately this website has a general theme unlike most others; planes.

The funniest picture i have ever seen

Every time i see this picture unexpectedly i laugh out loud.


I wonder if the person who took the photograph was this kids parent and thought it would be funny, i hope so.

" Go on Jimmy, feed the kangaroo that's playing ride the other kangaroo"

Either way it is a great pic and luckily for the kid you can't see his face, but HE knows who he is and that's enough for me.

18 reasons why GTAIV has gone backwards not forwards.

I recently went to my friends house to play 360 with an array of games; COD 4, GOW, THP8, Forza 2 etc. When we decided to play GTAIV we started to play it online, which I admit is really fun, but after a while and a few beers we started to lose and get our asses kicked by all of the pre-teen kids whose retarded brother forgot to lock his bedroom door and had gone out to smoke crack allowing little Timothy top hat to play GTAIV online whilst singing down his headset, but I don't care because this is apart of online gaming.

We know that Rockstar (developers of GTA) have gone for a "realistic", "Grittier" approach, which is all fine and dandy if you enjoyed The Getaway on PS2, but not, if like me you like to fuck shit up in the coolest most crazy ways possible.

Playing the story mode is very compelling as are being able to decide who you kill in certain parts of the game. My problem is that they seem to have forgotten one thing, and that is that GTA is supposed to be FUN. They have forgotten that people used to like to pick it up when with a bunch of friends and blow shit up whilst being chased by army guys and tanks. What I am getting at is this, If you were asked a couple of years ago what you expected GTAIV to be like, your answer would probably be something along the lines of bigger, better and more options, but unfortunately this isn't the case.

18 Reasons why the best game of all time is a major disappointment in comparison to San Andreas.

1. No planes

   OK so there was 9/11 which was terrible, and the game is set in New York, but anybody who has played Grand Theft Auto 3 and up would understand that the planes were there to be used, not to re-enact unpleasant pieces of history, I don't know who decided that not having planes in a game that not only has already had them in it, but people really enjoyed to play with.

2. No new weapons

   This one i can't think of a reason for, there seems to be a serious lack of weapons to choose from, also all of these weapons (besides maybe the M4A1 which is the assault rifle that isn't the AK47) have been in previous instalments of the game, why no new weapons? why no silenced weapons for example? This won't seem to bother you if you haven't completed GTAIV yet but once you have, you want to run around and cause havoc, and then you will wonder where your rail gun is, it isn't there, its back in time.

3. Only a Bat and a knife for melee weapons

   Where have all the melee weapons gone? In vice city i had a freaking chainsaw to play with, and that was supposed to be 20 years ago, Where is my screwdriver and my hammer that i can use to bash people in the face with?

4. Crappy soundtrack which probably cost a million to produce when they could have just bought some rights of recent hits

   I don't know if anybody else has mentioned this (which they most likely have) but the soundtrack for GTAIV is nothing to celebrate, in fact i think this is the first game since Vice City that hasn't had a separate soundtrack C.D released due to its awesomeness, there is a real lack of known music in the latest game and that sucks balls.

5. No car modifying

   Where the hell did the car modifying go? Without the car modifying it seems really pointless to keep onto a car, unlike in San Andreas where you could get pretty annoyed that you just flipped your freshly created super car over a bridge which landed upside-down with you no option but to get out and run whilst you shed a tear knowing you shall never see old beeny the meanie again. but i really liked modifying my cars to suit my character, modifying cars is a great option to have when your bored with the game.

6. No bicycles

   Was i the only one who liked to torment the cops with an UZI and a BMX? I could out run the cops in their cars whilst I was on my BMX and it felt cool to be riding one too, why take these away as well? Realism? because there are no cyclists in New York? yeah right.

7. Only one or two noticeable new cars like a hybrid lookalike

   Here comes GTAIV, imagine what crazy new cars its going to have. Stop there son, because there are no new cars, except a fucking hybrid and an airport car, what the fuck, why have they forgotten that a sequel is supposed to have MORE.
   

8. No tanks

   OK, WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE TANKS? My friends were looking on the internet for cheats to make the game more fun, and there were no cheats to get a tank, does this mean there is no army guys chasing you?

9. No army guys

   Right Rockstar, the fun's over where have you hidden GTA? because what you seem to have given me here is a 30 hour Cops and Robbers chase, getting the army after you whilst playing with friends is like a badge of honour, now its almost the same as getting a one star wanted level multiplied by six.

10. A lack of stupid costumes

    In San Andreas i had a hockey mask and a gimp outfit (that was actually from a mission LOL) that i could change into, now i have the garbage guys clothes and an Albanians jacket? Wow i look so foolish whilst i am taunting the police... not.

11. Smaller island's
    

    Have you noticed yet? yea those three islands are actually really small, it just seems big because every street looks the same so you can get lost easier, i admit that the map is much taller then it was previously, but noticing a lack of being able to do nothing with these tall buildings besides look at them seems pointless.

12. No countryside
    

    won't go into much detail here, but I really did love the desert and the countryside in San Andreas, but fair enough there is no countryside in NY

13. No underwater swimming

    This pissed me off, I jumped into the water to evade the cops when i realised that i couldn't dive under for any period of time for safety, OK its unrealistic that a guy would be swimming in New York but Jesus Christ if we want a life simulation we go to our mothers house to get nagged about how we should be eating less.

14. No parachutes

    The idea to give Carl (previous games heroin) a parachute was a great one, yet with a lack of planes they seem to have thrown that out of the window too, I found this to be one of the coolest parts of SA and Rockstar developers obviously don't agree.

15. Few places to go inside of

    There seems to be 6 or seven places to eat that aren't hot dog stands (which is a copy and paste job anyway), this would have been forgiven if the map was much wider, but its not, we can't even rob shops, we can't go into anywhere that doesn't have a mission based on its existence.

16. Poor range of clothes to choose from

    Suits, poor people clothes that make you look like a bum, or 4 - 5 trendy looking clothes from "Modo", these are your options when it comes to buying clothes.

17. No character modification

    No haircuts, no muscle gain, no tattoos, no weight gain, nothing besides the few clothes to choose from, admittedly there is some character customization in the multi-player arenas, but again they look kind of poor.

18. The cheats suck
    

    Yea, want have fun without playing the missions? tough, you can't, the only cheats are to increase and decrease your wanted level, Armour, all guns and full ammo plus healing yourself and spawning a chopper, plus something to do with the weather. Compare these to the crazy cheats in San Andreas, for example changing all cars to the colour pink, having all pedestrians rioting with one another, spawning all sorts of cars including the tank, and you have yourself one hell of a crazy time.
    

I could go on but you get the jest of it, basically Rockstar probably won't introduce any of these into any of their new games because I can imagine them sticking to their realistic guns which in my eyes is a bad road to go down when you look at how boring people found 'The Getaway' in comparison with GTA, I don't want to meet the guy who made all of these decisions to cut some brilliant features that really brought the last game to life, but if I did I would chainsaw him and kill his prostitute wife before stealing the money I gave her for sex, then go for a swim underwater whilst being chased by the army.

Danny ^_^

P.S please note that I love this game besides its taking away of old features.
