Internet. Serious Business.

IF you own a Playstation 3 you had to put up with some insanely stupid shit this past week. Apparently the internal clock (the one on a battery that runs 24/7) didn’t know that 2010 wasn’t a Leap Year.

So…all of us with a Fat PS3, the new Slim ones were fine, had our dates set to December 31, 1999! No big deal you say, and it really wasn’t THAT big a deal, but it had a few other problems while we waited for the clocks to flip over to March 2nd and fix itself.

This is where the real hilarity ensued for me anyways. First of all, EVERY game you tried to play on ApocolyPS3 day would delete all your trophies for that game. Just gone. So let’s say you just got a Platinum Trophy on the best game in forever Demon’s Souls you lost that bitch the second you started the game…

Of course when the clock flipped all was well for most people. Well…some. If you synced your trophies recently you got them all back, but if you didn’t, you are screwed. IF you did all you have to do is put the game in and lad them up and then re-sync with the server and the magically appear again in tact. If you didn’t sync them they are gone forever.

The RAGE people had over this the next day was just high comedy. PArents probalby wish they had taken out a bigger life insurance on the kid. Look at this fat asshole:

Especially for one game in particular that I noticed because it was the one I had been playing. Bioshock 2. You see like other idiot game developers such as say Rockstar and GTA IV, they added a bunch of ONLINE multi-player trophies for you to get if you wanted platinum. Dumbest shit ever since half the people online are just there to boost and get their damn trophies. Why Bioshock 2 is unique is that it has 4 trophies that rely solely on your online rank. You get 1 for Level 10, 20, 30, and 40.

You can guess what happened. People playing Bioshock 2 during the ApocolyPS3 lost all their trophies just like everyone else, but a few people could actually play online that day (some peopel couldn’t even play games OFFLINE that day). During that time they could level up and many passed one of those trophy levels and got them that day. Since they weren’t synced they might be Level 23, but they don’t have their Level 20 trophy anymore which means they are SCREWED. You can’t go back at this point. You can never get it again unless you sign in with another PSN ID, which means you have to get all the trophies again, and your precious Platinum won’t be on your account you always use.

Even if Sony is a bunch of douches, at least the makers of BS2 care a little bit, although they have no idea how to fix it. IF you have the problem read this thread on their forums and see if they ever come up with a solution .

Few more Epic Beard Man videos I have seen lately that need to be added. Surely these will never end, but at least it is worth a few chuckles for the next 5 minutes. The first one I forgot to put up before and it was the Epic Beard Man Punch Out! for Nintendo.

The other one is an Epic Beard Man interview that is worth 5 Youtube stars and some insurance quotes. Oh and the interview with the guy that got his ass beat.

Epic Beard Man’s Punch Out!

Epic Beard Man Interview

Interview with Guy Epic Beard Man Kicked the Crap Out Of

I must admit that I haven’t actually watched Lost for 5 years. Around Christmas last year I figured it was finally time to give in and see what all the fuss was about. So I watched the first 5 seasons just in time to be ready for the Season 6 opener. Obviously I was blown away and this is one of my favorite shows ever already.

Anyone that has watched the show knows how much crazy speculation there can be among viewers. The most insane theories you can read, and you may have even wondered what someone would think if they just watched a random episode as their first Lost experience.

Wonder no more. This guy decided watch the Final Season of Lost without seeing the first 5 seasons, nor reading any background. While I think this guy actually HAS seen Lost, and is probably trying to pretend he hasn’t for comedic effect, I will let you decide. There are certain things he says, which makes me think he has seen it. Maybe you will notice some too and agree, but it is a funny read regardless. At the very least he has some pretty funny pics it looks like he made with a permanent marker and used document scanning software to post them in his blogs. They definitely add to the overall hilarity of it.

He calls Jack; Jake. This is one of the funnier parts in his description of Charlie.

The other episode feels like a Jake commercial that takes place on an airplane. This guy does it all. Gets free booze from the stewardess, makes friends with a middle aged interracial couple, saves a hobbit from choking on condom drugs;

Heil Honey I’m Home may be one of the strangest sitcoms that was ever made. I’m sure from the title of it you can surmise it is probably about Hitler. It is. It was supposed to be a parody of American sitcoms on the BBC, that had the main characters of Hitler’s Nazi party in a typical sitcom style setting. You pretty much have to get that to even think this has a chance.

Audiences were not impressed. Heil Honey I’m Home was canceled after just ONE episode.

The premise to me is sort of funny, and if you are a real crotchety bastard I can see why you would find it offensive. It really had nothing to do with Nazi propaganda, or any of that crap. It was set up like I said as a parody of American sitcoms. Hitler was the lovable husband, and working man. Eva Braun was the lovable housewife with a strong personality. They had the typical nosy neighbors who were always pissing Hitler off, and having jokes at his expense.

While produced in 1990 for the BBC, the show actually looks, and is supposed to appear like a 50’s/60’s sitcom such as Leave it to Beaver, or the I Love Lucy show. A caption at the beginning of the episode presented the series as a ‘lost’ sitcom from the 50s, recently re-discovered.

People were offended. That is understandable because most people aren’t all that bright. They called it crass, trivializing of the Holocaust, and in poor taste. The producers said that the crassness was intentional, and part of the parody anyway. I’m sure many needed an over the counter sleeping pill to get to bed that night because of their being RAGE’D.

The sitcom was written by Geoff Atkinson and commissioned by satellite television channel Galaxy, part of British Satellite Broadcasting (which later became part of BSkyB). You gotta love that someone gave this a chance, and thought people were smart enough to “get it”. I Guess that was a mistake on their part, but it is always nice when someone takes a chance.

The show is considered one of the most controversial moments in TV history. There are actually some other episodes recorded, but the pilot was the only one that has ever aired. You can judge for yourself if it crosses the line by watching the first episode below. While I think the premise is brilliant, the laughter was a bit low on my watch even though I really wanted to give it a chance. Someone took a chance and I wanted to see how their crazy idea came to fruition.

Heil Honey I’m Home (Pilot):

I can barely remember this show, but what I do remember is that people used to watch it like Desperate Houswives when it was on. Melrose Place is considered part of the Beverly Hills 90210 franchise, and is basically the same show except the people are better looking and they are in their 20s instead of being teens.

It’s a bunch of hot ass people living in an apartment complex and they do stuff. They have sex mostly. Sometimes they decide to kill each other because someone had sex with someone they shouldn’t have. You know, a prime time soap opera.

The series debuted on July 8, 1992 and was an instant hit, debuting at #19 on the Nielsen ratings with a 10.3/19 share. The series finale was watched by 10.38 million viewers. Yeah…it was big shit. Heather Locklear was even nominated for like 5 Emmy Awards while this show was on.

One character I remember on the show was this dude named Jake. He was the douchiest looking guy ever, and makes me laugh when I see him still. Looks like some dude that would spend all day trying to get rid of blackheads, and then get on a motorcycle and pretend to be a badass.

Oh I forgot…Kristin Davis was on this show too before her Sex and the City Days. Apparently they dumped her because they said the audience didn’t like her character. She was a bitch I think on the show. Completely opposite her Sex and the City role.

The Melrose Place Theme is as gay as the 90210 one. Sounds almost exactly the same to me.
