Oh, Aren't I Just Spoiling You.

I know the 2 reviewers/commenters I have right now might think I'm awful for not updating daily like the name of the blog indicate should be the schedule for updates, but there are many reasons why I don't do that, and will never do. Don't believe me? Let me explain.

First and foremost, if I ever did update daily, I'd be creatively burnt out in less than a week and I'd probably consider faking my gruesome death involving a butter knife just so I don't have to do this anymore. Second reason is.... Well, I don't want to update daily. It's a good way to gain readers, sure, but I don't care much about that. Okay, it's not all true, but I want readers that like my writing style and the ideas I have to say, not readers that are obsessive stalkers who want to know every tidbit of my life, since I very much enjoy my privacy and generally not being watched while I sleep. I think it's a tad creepy that there's people who'd want to do that, hence my lengthy explanation.

Well, that's it for now I guess. Next update will probably be that abortion post I said I'd do 5 days ago or something.

Wow, I got Commented.

And it's a good thing too. I did what, 3 posts? One of them wasn't even a real post, just me being forced to upload a post before working on the site's layout.

But anyway, back to the comment. It asked for my opinion on more actual events, so I say let's go with the most recent ones. ( By definition an actual event is recent, so my phrase is completly redundant. )

So, there were shootings in Germany and the US that happened in the same day. They did quite a number of deaths, I'm not sure how many but that doesn't actually matter. What matters in this is that I still saw dozens of people attempting to blame this on videogames. Can't they let this go? It's all very annoying. If anything, it delayed the shooters' mass murdering party of the dumb jocks that went to high school with them. And because they're dumb jocks, they were obviously still in high school, and would have been for another 10 years. But back to the delaying, it makes more sense. I mean, if you shoot people in videogames, it helps relieve the frustration felt in real life. Hell, it's the reason why most people play videogames in the beginning, to get away from those things that annoy them in the real world. Beating up textures attached to a mesh isn't going to make you able to beat up people in real life either.

See, pressing up a button to attack somebody is very far away from swinging your fist at someone's face to either miss, or hit them and break your hand while breaking their nose. Pressing a button is also far away from being able to work out a real life gun. It's made to be less intuitive than real life because if not, most people wouldn't be able to play the game. They'd need an instruction manual for every single thing featured in it. Just in Fallout 3, you learn medecine by upgrading your stat everytime you gain a level. If you had to learn how to cure stuff for real, it'd be more useful to just drop the game and go get a degree in medecine so at least you'd get a real achievement, not one that gives you useless gamerpoints or trophies.

It's also the reason why people in movies slash their wrist the "wrong" way. Not that there is a good way to slash your wrist, since suicide is dumb, but it's to make it as far away from real life as possible. Because that's what videogames are all about.

A fantasy.

(I strayed kinda far away from my main point, but I'll get better. I will probably do another rant on my stances later today. I'm thinking abortion, to alienate more people. )

Daily... Heh, right!

I thought I should at least try to live up to the daily pretence of my blog and post something today. So here I am, posting.

Here I am again, still posting.

Yet Still.

...Yep, still posting.

......Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. I'm still posting here.

I never remember the difference between feet and foot. I never remember which one is plural and which one is singular. Same goes for teeth and tooth.

...I think I'll stop posting riiiiiiight about... Now.

Or now. Who cares?

No Wait, Let's Do This More Seriously.

This is completly crazy, but I'm doing a blog now. All of my stupid and wacky antics are going to be there. For all the world to see.

Damn. Not that it matters, since I probably won't update daily and certainly won't spend every waking hour of the day doing this. How would I have wacky antics then?

Truth be told, I've been itching to do this for a while now. Even though there's an annoying little voice in the back of my head telling me I'm going to abandon it all when I'll close the browser and return to doing even less of my life than blogging, I had to start it. Perhaps that peticular itch will subside after a few days and then fade into nothing more than just that, an itch, or perhaps it will develop to be.... something. I can't really seem to find what the next logical step for an itch would be, but I'm sure I should bring it to medical attention if it ever happens. Who knows?

Also, I just switched from a figurative itch to a real one. Just in case you got confused by it all. (And have a negative IQ, but that wouldn't surprise me.) 

But to return to the main point of this post, it's a start. Not the best one, certainly not the prettiest one, but a start none the less. Let's hope the road ahead brings something good, be it for me or my (future) readers.

And just like that, I jinxed it.

Let's Start This.

Well, that wasn't too hard now.
