After last night’s episode of 24, I realized two things. First, it should be renamed Squat Dat, since EVERYONE is getting squatted! Including Lynne, aka Samwizzle Gamgizzle, who went out in a blaze of glory. Secondly, CTU is by far the worst government agency ever. Why? Let’s just say when I worked in customer service and made calls to various corporations, I had a harder time getting into their buildings than these waterhead terrorists had getting into the CTU HQ. Oh by the way, what does CTU stand for? COUNTER TERRORIST UNIT!!? Let’s discuss how horrible they’ve failed at that title…

Squatworthy: Applecare repairs
Monday, March 13th, 2006
If you’ve bought electronics in the last few years, you know that the mob isn’t the only organization offering “protection services” these days.
Compusa, Circuit City, and the kid down the block that has a great deal on speakers are ALL pushing these extended warranties like nobody’s business. Apple computer’s brand of this legal larceny is Applecare.

Microsoft Origami Revealed
Friday, March 10th, 2006
For a few years I’ve been distantly desirious desirous of the OQO mini PC. Have a look here. Pretty nifty right? Ya know what’s NOT nifty? The 2000+ dollar price tag! Bleh.
So there’s been some hype over Microsoft’s Origami, a small hybrid palmtop/laptop PC that will compete with the OQO. Take a gander at the Origami in all it’s origaminess.
So what, you might say. So what? SO WHAT!?!?
Getting Lost / SquatMatch: Smoke Monster vs. The Blob
Thursday, March 9th, 2006
Okay, there was no new Lost this week, and we’ve got our panties all up in a bunch about it! So we’ve got a special “limited edition” Lost Squatmatch for the week!
Okay, The Island’s Smoke Monster Thingy vs. The Blob!
Who would win and how could you tell who won? I mean, it’s a stinking cloud vs. a bunch of slime? Well, I’m sure our commenters will come up with something — I think…
If you can’t think of anything, just blab about Lost theories again…
A Time to Squat…
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006
We all have busy schedules, and sometimes it’s hard to get enough time available to squat to your hearts content in the video game of your choice.
School, Work, Tupperware burping, and other obligations infringe on every gamer’s right to squat.
What do we do when responsibilities get in the way of our squat time? We squat in RL! (Real Life–for the n00bs out there)

Twenty Fizzle, Muy Intensioso
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006
As much as I hate to admit it because my girlfriend talks smack to me about Lost every day, 24 is probably the best action/drama show ever put on TV. I’ve never watched a show that has held my attention so strongly from start to finish, AND hasn’t required me to watch three or four whole seasons before hand for me to appreciate what is going on. I’m so hooked, and as much as I love Lost, 24 provides what Lost kind of leaves, well, lost, for me.
So last night, Ub3r 5qattx0r Jack Bauer, who as we all know is the sole reason for every single one of us waking up alive in each morning, brought intensity to a new high. Here’s a few highlights of the 2 hours special:

Gamer vs. His Gut
Monday, March 6th, 2006
Vladimir Cole over at Joystiq is conducting a little experiment on himself. He’s seeing whether he can lose 20 lbs. in 3 months using Sony’s Eyetoy as his primary form of exercise. Either he loses the poundage or he loses 500 beans to a Joystiq contributor.
You know, I’ve heard that squatting is a good form of exercise… Squat That Fat!
Review: PSPWare for Mac

Squat Squat reviews PSPWare for Mac OS X
Since its launch, Sony has heralded the PSP as the ultimate portable entertainment device. It does gaming, photos music, video, and web browsing–after all. However both Sony’s expensive memory stick pro duo, and their lack of a proper psp software bundle have kept it from its full potential.
Memory stick prices are dropping, and Sony released their media manager software to help with syncing and video encoding. However there is no Mac client.
So what’s a Mac / PSP owner like myself to do? Nullriver software’s PSPWare attempts to fill this need, and does a very good job at it. PSPWare is a PSP synchronization program for Mac OS X. It syncs music, photos, movies and bookmarks to your PSP.

Pinata Pwnage

I saw this and thought it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, squatting even the 35 face smacks I posted earlier last month…
