4chan: KILLING YOUR LIVES!

I bring your attention to the following report that was on FoxNews about 4chan:

This is why you should not watch news stations like Fox who think THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. I mean look at this thing they claim 4chan users are HACKERS ON STEROIDS, DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and how 4chan is THE INTERNET HATE MACHINE. I mean come on, who is retarded enough to believe this rubbish?

Here are the facts people, 4chan is firstly NOT A SECRET WEBSITE ITS NOT! You can go to 4chan easily enough xD Its got cult status. If you ask most people where 4chan is they will tell you exactly where to go. People know 4chan, its infamous! Secondly THE INTERNET IS NOT SERIOUS BUSINESS. OH COME ON! I think I have said this a million times before but YOU CANT GET HURT ON THE INTERNET. All you have to do is ignore what is going on. OH NOEZ MY MYSPACE PAGE HAS BEEN HACKED OH NOEZ OH NOEZ I AM GOING TO DIE. Stop being so goddamn over dramatic! So they posted some Gay stuff on your MySpace, make a new one. Its not the end of the world. Why doyou have a MySpace anyway? My Space is gay in iteself.

So they say they are going to rape you, kill you and send death threats. The fact is they do not know where you live and unless you are stupid enough to post your address or phone numbers on your My Space accounts or anywhere else online they will NEVER be able to find you. For gods sake. To the mother who says her family were attacked by Anonymous so she bought a Dog, HOW THE HELL IS A DOG GOING TO DO ANYTHING? That’s just idiocy. The fact is you can choose to go on 4chan and you can choose not to go on 4chan. You can choose to ignore if /b/ comes after you or you can shout, argue and spam back. They can’t really hurt you at all via the internet.

THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON IN THE WORLD THAN 4CHAN! THE INTERNET IS NOT SERIOUS BUSINESS AND BUYING A DOG WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM IT. STOP WHINING AND JUST IGNORE IT YOU BIG BUNCH OF IDIOTS.
The people at /b/ don’t take anything they say seriously, it is all for the lulz. The report says in shocking tones that they use anti-semetic and racist remarks. To be honest with you I’m sure most of us make racist jokes every now and then, we don’t mean them. My friends call me the Tinted one and Brown Town all the time, but because we know its not serious none of us care. I don’t think anyone on /b/ takes anything said there seriously and therefore don’t take offence. If you do take offence noone is telling you to go there and read whats going on. Why create hysteria about something that is really not doing anything to cause alarm about?

There is news out there that goes unreported. Injustice, death and atrocities that never get the airtime that they should. I am not surprised at FoxNews for doing this I just feel sorry for people who actually believe 4chan is something to worry about when there are so much more important things in the world. I feel sorry for those who think the internet is serious business.

Review: Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

Platform: Nintendo Wii

Genre: Sports

ESRB Rating: E 10+ for Mild Violence and the random tendency to want to rip your opponents throat out after a very cheap move.

For a while. I was thinking that Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be the reason to invite friends over for a solid night of gaming. Holy shit, was I wrong. After getting my hands on an advance copy of Mario Strikers Charged and throughly playing the crap outta it, I really can say I was wrong. Mario Strikers Charged is as solid of a game as the first one was on the Gamecube. Your movement in game is controlled by the nunchuck and “Beat the living hell out of your opponent” controls are assigned to the Wiimote with slide tackle on the D-Pad and tackle being assigned to the motion of the Wiimote. This makes for a very simple and easy cover up for hitting someone next to you. “Ooops. Sorry. I was just using tackle. My bad.” Gameplay is fast and furious with most matches in the tournament mode lasting only a mere 3 minutes, however, I was easily able to rack upwards of 10 goals in some of the easier matches and more than 60 tackles in a few games. Game also get very interesting with items that change the playing field, such as bananas, shells, and the team captain specific super items. Field hazards are also a factor. Thwomps, cows, tractors, fireballs, electricity, etc. I haven’t had a chance to play any online modes as the game has not yet been released to the public here in America. Which, brings me to a downfall of the game. Online play can only be played with people in the same region as you, unless you have their friend code. Otherwise, this is a strong title, which I recommend you pick up a copy on 7/31/07, invite some friends over, have a few (age appropriate) drinks, and enjoy.

Drew’s Recommendation: Go on, Get it. You know you want to. This is fun in it’s purest form.

ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA ARTICLE OF THE WEEK 5!

Scientology

The one, true religion, founded by author and batshit insane fucktard L. Ron Hubbard as a tax shelter, using material from his published works of science fiction as articles of faith. It is also known in its alternate spelling as “Sollontology”, as coined by TV talk show genius Gorgeous George. Scientology is not to be confused with a fabricated web of lies because everything L. Ron says is completely factual.

Adherents of Scientology are primarily Hollywood celebrities, lawyers, and women who want to penetrate Tom Cruise. [2]

Beliefs and Practices

Scientology drama is all too common, and most of it is extremely amusing. For instance, to advance in the faith to OT level III to learn the tale of Xenu, the galactic tyrant who, at least 100 years ago, stacked hundreds of billions of his frozen citizens on planes that looked like DC8’s with rocket engines, and hauled them over to Earth to be thrown into volcanoes before blowing them up with hydrogen bombs and brainwashing them with a “three-D, super colossal motion picture” for 36 days.

The traumatized thetans subsequently clustered around human bodies, in effect acting as invisible spiritual parasites that can only be removed using advanced Scientology techniques. The cost of reaching OT III is only $360,000. Central to the belief is in alien past lives, such as being “deceived into a love affair with a robot decked out as a beautiful red-haired girl”, being run over by a Martian bishop driving a steamroller, being transformed into an intergalactic walrus which perished after falling out of a flying saucer, and being “a very happy being who strayed to the planet Nostra 23,064,000,000 years ago”. All of this was on Wikipedia, so it is guaranteed the absolute truth.

If you are completely and fully suckered in, you can join an elite sector of Scientologists, the Sea Org, which stands for “Sea Organization”. This arm of the “Church” was dreamed up by Hubbard in the mid-60’s because he was (a) really drunk/doped out of his mind most of the time and (b) because he felt butthurt by the real U.S. Navy, who refused to give him ill-gotten glory and fame, so he made a toy navy of some real piece of shit ships. If you’re a good enough and devout enough Scientologist, when you join the Sea Org, you must sign a contract that binds you to the Scientology religion, the Sea Org and L. Ron Hubbard for a billion years, pledging to “come back” in all your reincarnations to serve him for that time. In exchange you get some really nifty things… You get about $16 a week in pay, your personal I.D. taken from you and locked away so you can’t jump ship, you get to do demeaning and degrading physical labor, and you give the Church tacit permission to put you in the “RPF” (Rehabilitation Project Force) which is a punishment gulag that will make you beg, whine, and plead like a little bitch for that degrading regular labor back. You may even find yourself locked in a ship’s chain locker if at sea, or in the basement of the Ft. Harrison Hotel with all that healthy asbestos. The RPF makes Gitmo Bay look like Club Med. In an interesting side note, while the crew of the Sea Org were sweating and toiling at sea on the Apollo, Hubbard’s Sea Org flagship, Hubbard himself surrounded himself with nubile, blonde 13 year old girls in hot pants and halter tops that he dubbed the “Commodore’s Messenger Organization” or “CMO”. He did this because running Scientology is serious fucking business. Sadly for him, he was also impotent.

Most agree that it is batshit insane, and Battlefield Earth was as good a movie as getting jackhammered in the urethra for 3 hours is fun. Scientology is, however, a very important part of society; it is one of the main sources in the Western world for the lulz.

E-Meter Auditing (Galvanometry)

Scientologists use a rudimentary galvanometer to measure the electrical resistance present in people who they call “pre-clear.” The process of lying is more difficult than the process of telling the truth, and galvanometers act like shitty lie detectors. When questions are asked of the “pre-clear” and the needle moves, they say that the little alien in their brain is making up lies for them to recite about their non-existent pre-birth past. Since no one actually knows what happened before their birth, “pre-clears” must learn to lie without affecting the galvanometer. If they can do this, auditors say they have become closer to becoming “operating thetans.” This is done by learning to believe the things Hubby wrote in his books, such as being born for the first time on another planet. In effect, it’s lie detector aided brainwashing.

The History of Scientology

 

Battlefield Earth

In 2000, Fageologists discovered a new book of Scientology, called Battlefield Earth. Originally written at least 100 years ago, it is a prophecy about how Xenu will return to Earth and generally fuck everything up and enslave all of humanity to mine some crappy mineral. In the end of the book, some faggot slave finds an old military plane that couldn’t fight off the aliens when they first showed up and proceeded to blow the fuck out of all the aliens with it, saving the day. The moral of the story is: Store planes in caves. They get more l33t that way.

“	Everything about Battlefield Earth sucks. Everything. The over-the-top music, the unbelievable sets, the terrible dialogue, the hammy acting, the lousy special effects, the beginning, the middle and especially the end. God above, it’s bad. Sweet baby Jesus, it’s bad. By all that is holy and sacred on the Earth, this is a bad, bad, bad film	„
—Jonathan Ross, Movie critic

EarthLink $cientology Drama

It has been charged by most EDiot researchers of the $cam Church of Scientology that EarthLink is a front organization for Scientology. According to skeptictank.org:

Numerous individuals who have worked for this cult front company in the past have come forward to describe the fact that EarthLink’s help desk’s employees are ordered to claim that the Scientology crime syndicate doesn’t own and run EarthLink.NET. (See comments by ex-employees of EarthLink.net on The Skeptic Tank’s web site [10]) The fact is, the security of one’s e-mail which flows through these two companies is highly suspect and users who subscribe to either of these services should consider very carefully the history of the Scientology crime syndicate. In 1998, the weekly San Jose Metro ran an article called “Missing Links”, examining the Scientology-EarthLink controversy:Electronic free-speech advocates are concerned about the Scientology leanings of EarthLink founder Sky Dayton and the church’s history of litigation over copyright infringements on the internets;… Dayton is a vocal follower of the Church of $camientology who in the early days surrounded himself with upper management and private financiers who were also $cientologists;… As the company has grown, EarthLink executives have tried to distance the company from its Scientology roots, and for good reason. Unlike other religions, Scientology has earned a reputation for dragging ISPs into court for alleged copyright violations committed by private subscribers, something which electronic-privacy advocates believe could erode free discourse on the Net [[11]]. Dayton and his two financial backers are Scientologists. When this fact created controversy in the media, Dayton asserted that the idea that EarthLink was owned by the Church of Scientology was absurd, making the comparison, “It was like I’m Jewish, therefore EarthLink was involved with 9/11.”

The Apology Post

Hi Pink Domino,

Drew here. And I am a loser. Why am I a loser? Because it’s been a good 2 weeks since I’ve posted anything here. Why, you may ask? Well, I’ve been busy. REALLY busy….Busy getting back into school, busying learning how to play guitar, busy with work, busy with acting crap, and more importantly, busy with games. So anyway, as an apology, I’ll be going over the step-by-step process to set up multi-region Playstation Network Accounts, to access those extra goodies that haven’t yet and/or won’t hit your region’s Playstation Store (like the awesome Folksoul [aka Folklore here in the U.S.] demo released on the Japanese store.), tomorrow. Until then, GOOD NIGHT PINK DOMINO!

Quickie Reviews

Holy Crap…I’ve been flooded with games. Isn’t this summer? I swear it’s not due to the massive amounts of GOOD games that have been coming out.

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (Nintendo Wii)

Rated M for Violence, Language, and some scenes of explody heads! YAY!

Ok, Zombie fans, this is indeed more of the Resident Evil 4 we have all come to know and love. Everything from the Gamecube and PS2 versions is here (mainly, the [enhanced] GC graphics and the PS2 extras) as well as the Wii’s trademark controls. Speaking of controls, they work EXTREMELY well with the game dynamics. I often find myself popping off 7-8 headshots at a time. This makes things so much better. Aiming has always been my beef with this game and the certainly fixed that problem. Also, knife controls have been tied to the controller’s motion sensitivity, making it that much more useful in combat. It’s now much easier to conserve precious ammo by using your handy knife instead. However, this is just an enhanced port, but the $29.99 price tag more than makes up for it.

Drew’s Rating: Go on, buy it, you know you wanna.

The Darkness (Playstation 3, Xbox 360; PS3 version played)

Rated M for Violence, Drugs, Gore, Language, and did I mention GORE?!

So, you’re a mafia hitman. It’s your 21st birthday. You suddenly become the host of a demonic creature called “The Darkness”. This is a really good FPS with deep story elements and a decent amount of replayability. Side missions extend out this slightly short game. A bit of warning, there are a few sections where you won’t know where to go. You have to think things out before you rush out guns blazing. Multiplayer is pretty fun, although limited to 8 players per match. Definitely worth the purchase!

Drew’s Rating:If you were a fan of the original comics (which there are a full full issues on the disc, an excellent extra), buy this. If not, check out the demo before you plunge your hard earned cash.

Ouran High School Host Club AKA Why Anime gives me unrealistic Boyfriend templates!

 

Are you looking for…

Twincest?

Girls dressed as guys?

Rich people?

Loli Shota?

If you’ve answered yes to one or more of the abvoe the Ouran High School host Club is the Anime for you! I’m sure most of you have already seen this by now but if you haven’t and you plan too THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS SO MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T READ MUCH MORE. I do warn you so don’t ever complain I don’t.  Ouran Host Club does have it all though girls dressed as guys, guys dressed as girls, forbidden love twincest, and 18 year olds that look like they are 10. In short its enough to get a lot of female Otaku crazy because lets face it, we like to oggle hot anime men as much as the boys like to oggle Yoko’s boobs and Rei.

So whats OHSHC about anyway? Well in short its about Haruhi, a girl who is from a working class single parent family who joins a super duper exclusive rich kid academy on a scholarship. She looks like a boy, in jeans and shirt with short hair and glasses, a bookwork if you will. She wanders into a room one day within the Academy belonging to the Host Club, a club of hot young men who run a service entertaining and flirting with the young ladies of the academy. Suou Tamaki is the leader of the club and “prince type”.  Haruhi breaks an expensive vase and becomes the clubs lackey but then they realise her talent as a natural host and she becomes the clubs newest member. As the first episode rolls they all realise she’s a girl and pledge to keep it a secret from the rest of the school (mainly for profit and because Tamaki is in love with her and is easily jealous).

I love this series. Why? FIVE VERY HOT MEN. This is why I have an unrealistic image of the perfect man in my head because Anime creates these guys would would just never exist in real life yet there is part of my head that thinks somewhere they might do. Even though the characters all have flaws they are flaws that seem to make them more attractive. For example Kyoya hides his emotions away and acts cold and indifferent but this is all an act in the end. So it all highlights the fact he is caring and stuff. No girl in their right mind would ever turn down Tamaki, Kyoya, Kaoru and Hikaru or Mori. We’d turn down Honey though unless of course you are into the LoliShota thing and like boys to look 10. I don’t, mainly because I am not a pedophile. Bar Honey the other five are charismatic, charming, funny, romantic and good looking guys. You love them in the Anime and you know if they were only real you’d love them a million times more.

Yes yes I know its sad to find anime men atrtactive but i dare you to watch Ouran High School Host Club and not want to bang at least one of those guys. Hell even the scary Bosonova-Kun who has the face that makes women run away seems hot once his sensitive side gets out and he starts blushing whenever Haruhi is near him because he loves her. I’D KICK CANS WITH YOU BOSONOVA-KUN! Those two episodes with him in made me laugh so hard.

This is what Anime does to me. I watch Anime and have an urge to be in an Anime situation. I am sure that japanese High Schools are nothing like the are in Ouran High School Host Club, Kanon, Azumanga Daioh or Lovely Complex but I can’t help but wish everytime I see a High School Anime that I went to High School in Japan. In my High School love was never confessed, mainly because the girls were all skank hos and the boys were all gangsta wannabes but in Anime love is confessed always in that sweet way where the one confession is really embaressed! I want that to happen! I want to give honmei chocolate and go to a host aclub and wear a cute sailor girl uniform with those wicked socks and have brightly coloured hair. I am not alone either. Look in your hearts, you know you want it too!

There is a point in Ouran High School Host Club where Kaoru and Hikary (hot twin brothers known as the “Devil Type” who are constantly showing their forbidden love ie twincest) are explaining to Haruhi why they are so popular within the club. Although the girls go goo-goo over their “tender” brotherly love and the affection they show each other the thing that keeps them coming back is the fact that these girls will no doubt imagine both Kaoru and Hikaru on them at once and that creates the excitment. I think they describe it as too much to handle. That’s the nice thing about this anime, I’m so used to gawking at hot Anime girls and having them be alluring that having hot alluring men is a nice change. Its not all about Big boobs and perfect asses.

Ouran High School Host Club is a gem. The characters are all funny and unique and work so well as a team. They all compliment each other so well. The storyline is addictive and once you start watching you won’t stop till the end I assure you. If you haven’t watched it yet I really do suggest you get around to it soon (:

SHUFFLE!

Having got my way through Air TV and Kanon I thought it was time I tried my hand at watching Shuffle (god bless you TVlinks). I think I am developing a thing for animes that start life as Hentai games. This post that is about to be written is FULL of spoilers so if you are planning to watch Shuffle and don’t want it spoiled I suggest you DO NOT READ ANYTHING PAST THIS PARAGRAPH. Seriously.

I liked Shuffle but that is mainly because it didn’t turn out at all how I had expected it too. It revolves around a boy (Rin) who lives with his child hood friend (Kaede) after his parents and her mother are killed in a car crash when the two of them were both 8. Rin is meant to be the ideal man, well you assume he is because every girl in this series wants to get in his pants. Not only is Kaede in love with him but so is Sia (the daughter of the Lord of the Gods), Nerine (The daughter of the Lord of the Demons), Asa (an uppclassman) and Primula (A loli girl). Kaede however is the only one who has devoted her life to serving him out of Love and does everything for him. You assume this anime will end with him falling for her, the girl who loves him so dearly. Hell no.

Shuffle starts off innocent enough, to be honest it’s your typical high school romance comedy to begin with. Its only until you get really into the series things start to take a twist. I’m not sure all the girls after Rin needed to have some strange and slightly dark back story (Nerine was almost dying when she was a child and her clone called Licorice used her life to save Nerine and therefore lived in her spirit, Sia has her dead twin as her alter ego, Rin is a genetically formed human with super duper magic and Asa is part human part demon and will die if she doesnt use her magic) but it cut through the cuteness and the innocence nicely when you found each one out. But those girls are not the ones you are so shocked about when hearing of their dark backgrounds. It’s Kaedes past that really gets you.

You assume Rin will end up with Kaede because of her devotion and obvious love of him even when all her rivals start to appear you still back her because she is the one who seems purest. The rest are all a bit silly and grabby. So when you watch her meltdown as Rin goes off with Asa you can’t help but feel for this poor girl. She seriously loses it. From the start of the anime you would never picture Kaede with having this violent temper. During her meltdown we are taken to a flashback of when her mum and Rins parents died. She is in hospital and has lost the will to live and Rin tells her while she is lying in a sort of waking coma that he is the reason her mum died. He says he wrote to her mum and told her to come early and that’s why she died. He thinks telling her this will give Kaede a reason to live and that it does, she comes out of her coma and straight away tries to strangle Rin. We then see Rin move in with Kaede and her dad and Kaede making Rin’s life hell. She at one point drops a knife on his head that cuts the entire side of his face. The whole thing climaxs in her shouting at Rin in the rain that people like him should be dead.

Of course she finds a postcard from her mother in Rins room saying she will be coming home, but Rin wasn’t the one asking her home, she was coming home early because Kaede was getting ill and her dad asked her back. Kaede blames herself for her mothers death and now has the guilt of her horrific treatment of Rin on her mind too. So she convinces herself that her devotion to Rin now is to pay him back for the horrible things she has afflicted upon him and not because she loves him and wants him near her. When Asa is bought back to the house Kaede finally loses it and pushes Asa against the door causing her to have a heart failure (she is sick btw) and sends her to hospital to what seems like her death. The thing is you feel for Kaede because if Rin didn’t notice how much Kaede loved him Asa did. Asa knew that Kaede loved Rin more than anything in the world and yet she STOLE Rin from Kaede.

This anime struck a chord with me, I know it sounds a bit Emo but it did. I felt for Kaede, even though she had done terrible things I felt for the pain she was feeling when she saw Asa and Rin together and knew he wasn’t hers anymore. I think Primula was the only one who saw her pain, noone else knew it existed or that she existed for that matter of fact. She was treated like a doormat when she deserved Rin over them all. I did have one of those Emo Girl moments thinking if Rin is meant tobe like such a great guy why is he such a retard when realising he is hurting Kaede by staying in her house all that time and taking advantage of her devotion to him. It was like he took no notice of her and that pissed me off.

I reccommend Shuffle even though I’ve ruined it now for you because it really is a good watch. That and well if you don’t like the emo storyline there is enough bare breast and naked action to keep you interested. At least two good boob shots per episode xD That and all the girls in it are such hotties!

Youtube & CNN Debate Question Contest.

http://www.youtube.com/debates

U.S. Citizens, Submit a video. You still have time.

Deadline is the 22nd.

Here is mine:

You ugly, ugly hypocrites.

That’s right, kids. It’s that time again. I am angry, I am huffy and most displeasingly to you, I am so because of what people are doing to animals. That’s right, this is about the animals. Those short creatures with often more than two legs who you pretend to care about? Yeah, those.

I don’t eat meat. Actually, I try my hardest not to consume products of animal origin, regardless of form. But this isn’t Veganism 101, and I’m not here to tell you how to write your member of assembly. There’s some pretty specific shit I want to address.

Those of you who follow the NFL, or are Americans and follow the news (for some reason) know that vaguely conscious cro-magnon Michael Vick - AKA Ron Mexico - and the cadre of savages he calls his extended family have been indicted for running a dog fighting business on Vick’s property. Vick himself says he had no idea. Yeah, maybe it’s hard to keep track of dogs being brutally maimed and murdered on your land when you’re busy infecting women with STD’s. But this isn’t quite what I wanted to address either.

No, what really grinds my shit right now, is how some have reacted to this. Take Nike for example, who have been contributing to Michael Vick’s obscene wealth through sponsor contracts. Honestly, their reaction is nothing short of fucking gold:

“[Nike] is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick, and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent. We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen; therefore, we have not terminated our relationship.”

Wait, what? You mean to tell me that Nike, a company that makes about 99% of all their shoes out of leather, considers cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent? O RLY? Because, you know, it’s not as if leather requires an animal to die or anything! Nooo, we can just magically make authentic, brutally peeled off cow hide out of thin air, no cruelty required! Here’s my problem: fuckers like these are hypocrites. Now, I know that (sadly) most of you consider a vegetarian or vegan diet superfluous, because animals fare so well in the slaughterhouse and laboratory already. After all, we made powerful bolt guns that can be fired into the cow’s brain before we exsanguinate it! We gas our chickens into unconsciousness before we break their necks! Nevermind that in a factory farm, things are often required to go so fast, that there’s no time to check if the animal is unconscious before it is killed with such brutal methods as having their throats slit or necks broken.

I know most of you aren’t going to stop eating meat just because I wrote a little rant on the internet about it. But at least have the basic human decency to admit this: what you do, the animal farming economy you contribute to, is murder. And there is nothing compassionate or humane about murdering a fully born, sentient, live being, whether it happen in Chechnya, Iraq, the Soviet Union, the Deep South or the slaughterhouse or the laboratory. Regardless of the method. Regardless of the motive. Murder is murder.

A Bleach AVM by Becky

I know you’ll agree with me that for a first try this is pretty impressive. I’ve seen AMV makers out there that have been going for ages and not made something as good as this!  The scenes she chose really fit the song well and it all runs together so smoothly! You’d never know it was her first AMV. Well Done Becks (: We hope to see many more!
