17c7a9 had a dream

posted September 20, 2008 in Interweb

I can’t help but be somewhat happy/flattered that spambots have discovered I had a dream.  I launched the site in early 2008 and apart from an initial flurry of posts it’s been pretty quiet on the dream front.  I can only assume that nobody is having dreams anymore. Imagine my surprise when I received 31 reports of innapropriate content from such concerned bots as klhgyvcujj, vgcyrkrbwe, and mwwvnumm.  Apparently inane human dreams are incredibly offensive to robots.  I’m just glad that they’ve taken the opportunity to communicate their displeasure to me through the proper channels.  Remarkably, one spambot has even felt inspired enough to share it’s own dream on the site.  I’d like to thank them for that.

ChartAttacked

I’m probably the last person to notice this because I had all but given up on the old site but the new ChartAttack is FINALLY online.  I swear they’ve been pumping this up for like a year and a half at least in every issue… coming soon, my ass.  New site looks good though - not quite as dead simple (i.e. made in 2000) as the old one but looks like it’s got some snazzy new features like commenting and RSS feeds.  Hot diggity dawg!

Now I must go create an account so I can indicate which stories I love and hate.

Guitar Hero On Tour

posted May 28, 2008 in Interweb

Check out this trailer for the Nintendo DS version of Guitar Hero.  Holy fuck this is a riot… and yes, from the sounds of it this is an official trailer for the game.  It’s not a spoof or a parody.  Man, this is hilarious.

I lose it when the guy goes “That’s even worse than the fire!”

 

I don’t know if it’s a generational thing or the fact that I never have been gamer myself, but looking at the comments on this video it seems like everybody is completely missing the point.  Calling the singing guy lame, annoying, stupid and gay… I mean, seriously… lighten up, people.  Take it for what it is.  It’s a brilliant ad.
