Internet. Serious Business.

and not consider it one the the greatest games of all-time?

Yup…that’s how you do it. Post a question in the topic title that the vast majority of people will disagree with by the way it is phrased, and then post the exact opposite in the message.

See how many heart attacks you can start and end within 10 seconds by doing this. It’s good for people that don’t read the actual message in a topic too and basically can’t contain themselves long enough. They just start posting a message without even knowing what the topic is even about. The title is all they need for a long diatribe about how they are awesome and their opinion is fact. Then they get handed a flame shield, or some outdoor umbrellas to stop the storm from coming.

Want to see a bunch of console players whine? Announce a PC version of the game with a bunch of new content in it. One of my favorite games this gen is easily Dark Souls. Played on the Playstation 3 as you can see from my in depth 2 part Dark Souls review a while back (Day 1 purchase before the Patch 1.05). After all sorts of pleading for a PC edition it is actually going to pay off.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is scheduled to be released 8-14-2012 at the moment. Based on all reports so far it appears the new edition will include new boss fights, new areas, and maybe even additional side quests. Now…is it going to be a better edition juiced up for PCs? As far as I can tell it is a direct port, and even the developers are having a hard time creating any sort of keyboard/mouse control scheme. They have even stated that using a controller will be recommended. No big deal, at least maybe someone will actually make the PS3 controller the chosen one for a game for once, or at the very least make it an option without having to use an emulator to make your PS3 controller work as a 360 controller.

The biggest whining though is over the extra content of course. Console gamers feeling as if they are getting the short end of the stick, while essentially being the ones that made both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls into a money maker for From Software and now Namco Bandai. It is a legitimate concern, and complaint frankly. We all know that the extra content is an incentive to buy the new PC version as well. Soemthing that is done quite often on consoles with timed release DLC, and exclusive DLC that Microsoft seems to love paying for to get the sales their way. Of course this means most of us know what is going to happen with all the additional content on the PC version. It’s going to be announced as DLC AFTER the release of the PC version in order to get more people to buy it. Then after that settles down we’ll get some BS announcement about how they have “heard your cries and want to give you what you want!”. For a price of course right? Absolutely. While many will think this should be FREE for console gamers considering they all bought it first. Highly doubtful, but you never know. (don’t get your hopes up for free Dark Souls DLC). You’ll just have to put off your new kuat bike racks purchase a couple days if it is that big a deal.

I know…I’ve been talking about Terraria A LOT lately, but I just love the game. In fact I was actually following a playthrough recently for some dude on Youtube when I found their “Server Tour”. They had opened up a public server for people that follow his channel I guess and everyone just started to build.

Some of the the stuff is astounding. Beginning of the video is pointless really, but at around 17:00 there is an amazing ship structure that someone built that is definitely worth checking out. If you let it keep rolling you will see some very creative artwork of a bunch of video game characters. It’s really quite impressive. IT’s really long so be happy I gave you a time stamp. Otherwise grab your baby boy bedding and get ready for a long watch of people exploring Terraria.

Nobody pays for music anymore. Doesn’t matter if you are a broke college kid, or running a sporting event and need to have the national anthem for the medal winners.

A gold-medal winning athlete from Kazakhstan was forced to stand through a national anthem that insulted other countries and boasted of her nation’s “clean prostitutes” when organizers at a shooting competition accidentally played a fake anthem from the comedy film “Borat.” Nice spray tan.

Watch the video below.

HAs anyone noticed that since L O S T just about every show that comes out now with any “mystery” doesn’t realize what a mystery is? All of these shows come out swinging with their marketing telling us that the “mysteries will be revealed”, and the “secrets will be told” 2 episodes in like that was the only reason anyone watched Lost. All of these shows in the title (Well maybe ‘V’ shouldn’t be here except it was really stupid so I threw it in) and a few others like Persons Unknown go out of their way to let you know that they think you are way too stupid and impatient for them to build a mystery and let it flow the way it should. You have no self-control, and TV is just not for you, friend. We’re just gonna cut to the chase and explain it to you like a child, or list it like a commercial sharing allergy information.

It is no surprise that none of these shows lasted longer than a season. The mysteries were not mysteries because they told you what their great mysteries were 15 minutes into the second episode after they introduced them. No suspense at all. Here it is, wasn’t that an amazing twist! Twists…Poor mans intellectual gold.

Braodcast TV (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW) have absolutely no clue what a good drama is anymore. Some of these shows have as much depth as a video game story. The writing is about as good too. STop it please.
