Other than the fact that games seem to only care about graphical output now, there are a couple things that this generation of consoles has going on that are the biggest scams out there.

This generation of video game consoles consists of 3 major players. The Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, and the XBox 360. The Nintendo Wii is in its own stratosphere and really can’t even be considered a “nex-gen” console IMO. It uses outdated technology compared to the other two, but it has sales that blow them both away because it does one thing: Gets the chicks. It has people that can play with other real people instead of being forced to go online and play with a bunch of tools that are either 8 year-old curse machines that scream the F word constantly, or with dudes you don’t know high on trees, or too drunk to see. I like to do that with people I know, not online. Thanks.

Anyways, what are the 2 biggest scams this generation?

1. Trophies/Achievements

The PS3 offers Trophies for certain feats in games, while the XBox 360 calls them Achievements. They are typically all the same for both systems that have the game on them.

Ok..some people actually like these, and I’ll admit I do try and get some of them while playing. Why is this a scam? It is just a rinky dink way to make people think there are more hours of gameplay for playing the SAME GAME more. Think about it. When you had older systems and didn’t have these did you really want to replay a shitty game again? Of course not. Now people think these Trophies/Achievements are actually a reason to do it! Quit falling for this trap! If the game is shit don’t play it for these retarded things!

You don’t get ANYTHING for these. NOTHING.

Now the worst part of these things isn’t the uselessness of them, but the fact that they have moved to online multi-player. How many times do I have to join a multi-player game and find out that the only reason half my flippin’ squad is there to get goddamn trophies!? Ugh…I can’t stand it. I want to win the game, not get you some meaningless trophy, or watch dumbshits only working for themselves to get a damn trophy. Go play a real sport and win something that actually takes some talent.

2. Downloadable Content (DLC)

This is by far the biggest scam in gaming today. Taken from the PC and translated to the console. Not only does DLC rarely live up to the price of fit, but the fact that almost every damn game now has it is an insult to the people that buy these games.

We pay $60 for a game. The game makers have already created content that should be in the game, but because people are so stupid they think that having DLC is an “extra” and pay them more money to buy the shit.

Look at Fallout 3. Their DLC called “Operation: Anchorage” gives another couple missions, but what is most ridiculous about it is that it also allows players to level up higher. Instead of being capped at Level 20, they can now level up to Level 30. On the surface that may sound real nice, but frankly Level 20 in the regular game is stupid. It should have been 30 all along. Of course an extra 10 levels is utterly worthless anyways because you can get up to Level 20 and destroy absolutely everything in the game as it is. Add to that you can get there with out even trying to level up. The first 10 levels or so you can get just by going into a building and shooting a few Raiders and guess what? You leveled up already! Did I mention that this is an XBox 360 exclusive?

Not only that, but Micosoft has basically kicked Sony in the nuts and bought most of it for the non-exclusive games like GTA IV, Fallout 3, etc. That means people with a PS3 are stuck with no option to even get it even if they would pay for it.

Let’s just say that paying another $20 for crap that should already be in the game is a big sales technique apparently. People are falling for it, and paying shit DLC to reward the game makers for screwing them over. Good job idiots.

Please…loser fanboys come here and start talking shit. I hate all of you. PS3 and 360 jerkoffs. Wii fans can talk allt he shit they want. Their console knows it sucks, but at least it is fun for playing with other people and actually having human contact.

For some reason today I decided to promote a movie that came out in 1980. Cannibal Holocaust. Not because someone is paying me to do so, but because I have noticed that it is creeping back into the movie watching world for some reason *cough*torrent*cough*.

So what is this awesomely named movie? IS it as awesome as the title? Crazy zombies walking the Earth after the apocalypse and eating brains? I wish.

This movie is something I see mentioned on horror message boards a lot as one of the sickest movies ever made. I’ll be honest with you, I have seen much worse. I’ll also say that I’m pretty immune to gore and disgusting things by now as well so I can see why people get upset when they watch it.

So…Cannibal Holocaust then. How to describe this movie…I guess it is considered somewhat of a “snuff” film by some although that really doesn’t describe it at all. In fact it isn’t a snuff film in any way IMO. It’s just disgusting.

When I first watched this I wasn’t sure what to expect. Poor acting? Certainly. Gore? Most definitely. Real animals being killed? No, I can’t say I expected that. Somewhat of a story/plot? Did not expect this either.

The premise of this movie is that some loose cannon (yup I said loose cannon) film makers go to the jungle to document some cannibals and never come home. They did not have business insurance so their stuff will not be covered for their sponsors. Pretty simple to follow right? Everyone who has ever gone to do this has been killed, but some moron decides he is going to go look for them anyways. Guess what? He makes it there and finds all their film from their trip. He does some sick shit too while he is there, but the real disgusting things done are on these reels this guy picks up. Then we get to watch these when he gets back home and oh the humanity.

REAL animals being killed, a bunch of rapes, ritual rape killings, and of course some pretty graphic murders that lead to cannibalism. All done very tastefully BTW. This film wasn’t made to shock. It was made to educate about the dangers out there .

So…if you are a sick person who enjoys this kind of thing I encourage you to watch this movie just for the ability to tell people you have seen it. Well…you probably shouldn’t tell people you like it, but if you like to be shocked this should do the trick for a day. Then go watch another piece of crap called The Pink Flamingos. That movie is just weird and wrong.

Since the internet came along it is almost impossible not to find someone else to do your homework, and gladly at that. Surely you realize that people are so obsessed with showing you how high their IQ is that they will do ALL of your homework for you on a forum. I mean ALL of it. Most of them don’t even care if you actually learn the material you are supposed to learn. They just want their “Smartest Guy on the Internet” membership card. They want to show you how big their pen0r…errr brain is in front of anonymous people so they can go on living.

Just like everyone online only dates supermodels, the nerds are also right at home. They can lie to you all day about their sexual conquests, but they have one other thing going for them to give them material to act like condescending a-holes online. They are actually smarter than you, and at the same time they know that you can’t see how god awful ugly they really are in real life. It’s really the perfect combination considering that people actually give them attention online for being smart instead of scorning them for being mutants.

MAth is the absolute easiest to scam online though. There are hundreds of “How To Do Quantum nuclear super calaphragalistic expeialidocious exponential equations” sites that actually have an input section so you can get the answers IN LONG FORM no less for your homework and get perfect credit.

So…why do your homework? Why write a paper? Why do any research at all? Someone else will write your report for you. They will do it and do it willingly. For free.

Editor’s Note: Cheating your way through life is pitiful, and silly, but when you spent all night playing video games, getting drunk, or having sex with your girlfriend, who cares about that right?

If you are a 12-year old girl and you are embarrassing yourself for when you realize that Twilight sucks you can just head over to the Hannah Montana website and hang with other crazed losers. If you are someone who can see things as they are then by all means tell me how much this phenomena sucks ass.

Did any of you see the interviews of the crowd at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade? This has nothing to do with Twilight, but they interviewed these 2 likely pre-teen girls and they were CRYING because they got to see Miley Cyrus live. CRYING. These are the kind of fans that just make you lose faith in humanity. Twilight fans are very similar. They will trample other kids just to get to see these dudes that are in it. Any guys that do this will never get laid in their lives. At least from a normal woman. Maybe a corpse. They should be more worried about figuring out if does Hydroxycut work to try and get a real woman later in life when they get past puberty.

Yes…if you like Twilight you have serious brain damage. Do not have children. Please save us another generation of your absurd views on life.

Nobody likes a guy that brags too much. Even less so on the internet because nobody believes you, and people get extremely RAGE’D when anyone has something they can brag about because everyone on the internet is a jealous douche bag.

So…how do you go about bragging on the internet with out pissing everyone off and still patting yourself on the back? The old secret bragging topics of course. Secret bragging topics are nothing more than some random story that slips in what you want to brag about. Let’s suppose you have $1000 in your wallet. Do you just start a topic and say…”Hey dudes…I have $1000 plus I just bought a Slingbox“? Of course not. People will just get pissed off.

How do you go about bragging about your $1000 and your Slingbox then? Easy…start a topic like “What’s Do You Have in Your Wallet?” There is nothing more important than letting people include themselves in your bragging. People don’t give a flying fuck what you have, or what you did on the internet, or in real life in most cases. You could argue that women are more susceptible to wanting to hear themselves talk than men, but I am not going to say that . So now that you have an inclusive topic that let’s others talk their own accomplishments up…you list all your random credit cards, pictures, the 3 year old condom, and slip in the $1000 cash. Then just say…”yeah I got a slingbox today too…Yay! Me! You crack on yourself with the 3 year old condom gag, but it makes you actually having $1000 more believable.

Pro Tip: Nobody gives a shit about what you have to say on the internet, or in real life. IF you want something from them, just let them talk about themselves.
