    Meta Meta Meta Meta… (META!)

    Well it’s been over a month, and I haven’t written anything. It’s not for lack of ideas though. It’s lack of motivation. I can’t blame work this time, I’m just in a bit of a creative lull. People…

    …Is this thing on?

    Well, it has been a while.

    I can’t say that much has really happened since I last wrote in here, other than I did a U-turn. I went back to Aion after a reactivation weekend. Funny thing is that I’m…

    bechillcomedian:

    As someone who enjoys uploading sketches to YouTube, I forget how easy it is for others to “draw inspiration” from something which may have taken you a lot of time and effort to create.

    Haribo did it with their Star Mix ad in 2008: which is incredibly similar to the sequel of Will Ferrell’s…

    Pile of Shame – 1P START

    Aion took up a lot of my time; it’s a Korean MMO after all. What else did I expect from the same country that had games like RO come from, where ceaseless grind is considered the norm? But like I…

    Mad Melvin - the angriest BBC local radio caller ever?

    davelee:

    This hilarious clip comes from BBC Three Counties Radio this morning. I’m not sure we’ll be seeing Melvin at the Royal Wedding tomorrow, do you?

    Or, in his words: “Yet some…. URGGGH!….Some….. OORHHH!”

    Edit: Well this has gone a little bit, er, viral. Trying to get in touch with the 3CR team to see if they can do a follow up. Watch this space.

    Listen!

    TGN.tv writer and street magician Chriss Raven left an angry comment on the blog!

    The entire thing can be read here in full along with my response, but here are some highlights:

    You people are acting like like children, or some minorities from a certain country.
    Whatever your reasons for being children are, I still took down the article, and no, not because Kieran D was puffing smoke and being an internet superhero, he didn’t email anyone and if he did, then [Future Publishing] don’t care about his plea.
    Let me leave you with one final thought, gamers deserver better THAN YOU LOT.

    Oh-ho-ho! He sure told us! Didn’t he give us a good telling, boys and girls? Check out the full comment to bask in its warm glowing warming glow.

    Love it. Shame the comments on GJAIF are in a font akin to knife blades sticking in my eyes.

    I got called a ‘Mug’

    On Friday, I spent some time around Mrs. Kae’s house after work. We were going out to watch a film and a band that night, so I left earlier than usual, on the 3pm bus; the school bus.

    So some chavs are on, and start having a go at me, because I wasn’t from school, and I was trying to listen to my music in peace. Long story short, he called me a mug because:

    1. I have a lot of qualifications, yet I’m working at ASDA
    2. I get up at 3:30am more days than not in order to get to work on time at 6am.
    3. I should be getting somewhere better.

    And I could moan about how he is so naive, that qualifications don’t mean anything these days, and that you go for any job you can with any sort of prospect, then when you’re in work you can pick and choose. Or I could retort with that it’s my choice to get to work for 6am, that I had more options on my shift times.

    After a few more insults, I find that he’s doing a GCSE in Construction, and that he boasts about getting laid with the equally-aged (or lack thereof) chavette at his side.

    So yes, I am a mug.

    I am a mug because:

    1. I actually had the gall to take a job with unsociable hours because I didn’t want to sit on the dole.
    2. I am supporting that chav idiot with my taxes so he can do a ‘GCSE’ (I use the term lightly) in what is ultimately a failing industry.
    3. I pay NI so when he fucks up his bricklaying and breaks a finger, he can go get free treatment on the NHS, not to mention what complications he gets from ‘getting laid’ before he’s even out of school.
    4. And when everything else fails, he always has Jobseeker’s Allowance, paid for by people like me, because he thinks getting up at half past three in the morning is too much for a job.

    I am helping support a society that encourages behaviour like his. The schools, his parents, and the councils and government are failing him, and people like me will pick up the tab to support him or set him right. Cheers guys.
