Squatworthy: Jeeves from Ask.com

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

poor jeevesWell, as you may or may not noticed, our favorite Internet Butler Jeeves has been cut from Ask.com. Apparently the website will no longer answer questions anymore and will function just like every other search engine.

By killing off Jeeves, Ask.com has made clear that their goal is to be another google clone.

Don’t worry Jeeves, the website that squatted you will share in your fate soon enough, judging by their new ugly-fied site design and foolishly cutting every bit of good out of their brand.

Pour out some Liquor for our homie Jeeves…

Creepy PS2 Ad

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

plug faceThis PS2 Ad gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps! I wonder if there is any purpose to it other than to grab your attention by terrifying you?

Perhaps the plug-face people signify something. Maybe a Playstation online gaming service to rival Xbox Live? Wishful thinking…

Getting Lost – Dreams of a Lost MMO

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Walt 0wnedLOST was a rerun of Pilot parts 1 & 2 so there’s no sense in recapping it… except for the guy getting sucked into the engine. How scary was that?

Anyway, while we wait for a new episode we can chat it up about the next one. However I’ve been thinking allot about what a LOST MMO would be like.

SquatMatch: AT-AT Walkers vs. Striders

Friday, February 17th, 2006

walker vs strider

We used to post junk like this on the Lan Hackers message board all the time, so I figured it was time we did it here.

Okay–the Striders from Half-Life 2 or the AT-AT Walkers from Star Wars… Who would win and why?

In my opinion, the walkers have a defensive advantage; being metal and non living, while Striders are living creatures that can feel pain. The Striders however, have an offensive advantage since that canon they use pretty much trumps everything.

What do you think?

Getting Lost – Episode 2.14 “One of Them”

Friday, February 17th, 2006

hurleyAight gent’s, here we go, an official SquatSquat.Com Lost thread.

So we all know what happened last episode. I found a nifty little pic that has a translation for those weird glyphs seen when the machine hit 0 and no one hit the code in. You start to hear weird things opening, heavy metal machinary, then Locke hits the code, AFTER the numbers had already hit zero, with one more glyph left to flip open, and it resets. So they find out they have more time than they thought. They also find that SOMETHING WILL FOR SURE happen if the timer runs out. Whether or not that will kill them will remain to be seen.

Notice that little word there?

Taser: making the world more like splinter cell

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

samvsgordonThe Taser company makes hi-tech ways to stop bad guys without killing them. Their latest invention, the “Extended Range Electro-Muscular Projectile”, paralyzes no-goodnicks without the need of a wire from the device to the projectile. This allows for much greater range in a non-lethal weapon.

Sound Familiar? Yup, its the sticky shocker from Splinter Cell. So now law enforcement can non-lethally squat perps–Sam Fisher Style!

Engadget has the skinny on Taser’s latest non-lethal weap.

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

treo 700w leechEngadget Mobile is giving away a brand new Treo Smartphone every day in February. All you have to do is comment on the post they make about it daily and you’re in the drawing.

If you’re like me and you don’t really like this phone you may wonder why you should bother. They retail at about 600 and sell like crazy on ebay–That’s why. With that money you could buy an XBox 360 and the 4 decent games that are out for it, hehe.

Squatting, Gub’ment stylee

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

DickFudd 1What’s worse, getting shot by your “friend” while hunting? Or being shot by the Vice President, meaning there ain’t NOTHIN’ you can do about it? Either way, you’re a lawyer, so we don’t care, hahahaha!

But seriously, here’s a funny CNN article that hightlights all the Late Show jokes on Senor Cheney and his hair trigga finga.

You know good and well Cheney totally squatted his friend while he was unconscious. Which leads to a nice topic for discussion…if somehow by some accidental means you knocked your friend unconscious, would you squat their body?
