CTU = Worst Gub’ment Agency EVER!

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

samwise 1After 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…

Microsoft Origami Revealed

Friday, March 10th, 2006

origamiFor 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!?!?

Twenty Fizzle, Muy Intensioso

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

JackBAs 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:

Pinata Pwnage

StickPwngeI 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…

Handhelds…Selfish Gaming?

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

pspSo I had this thought the other night. I was excited at the prospect of FINALLY getting on the modern day handheld bandwagon. My last handheld was the ORIGINAL gameboy. Favorite game? Super Mario Land. Respek! (Ali G)

But with the announcing of DS Lite, and Tetris DS, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, and a host of other interesting titles, and a huge tax return (W W), I’m all like “Yo I’m TOTALLY coppin’ a handheld like whoa.” But then I had the thought…

PS3 Delayed…what are we to do??

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

ps3One thing you will notice about the GREAT majority of PS2 fans is their unwavering love for the brand. Ever have that friend in high school that wouldn’t buy anything other than Nike sneakers? Or wouldn’t even THINK of touching a Sega Master System over Nintendo?

These kinds of players have a horrible prospect before them…a huge delay in the release of PS3.

Unrizzle Tournamizzle 2007

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

UTI had a friend that insisted that PS3 was going to be the end all be all of life and that UT2007 was coming out exclusively for it. I wish he was hear today. As I predicted, a franchise like UT, that has already sold itself out to consoles, WILL NEVER, EVER be exclusive to any system. It is too big, too hardcore, too popular. And the developers are too greedy. :) But in that greed comes games that have continually whooped up on pretty much every FPS out there, argueably of course.

Much to the delight of all UT fans, UT2007 has been announced on ALL systems, PSThrizzle, X-Bizzle 3-sizzle, and PC.

24, Squatting in Real Time

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

JackBI used to watch 24 during the first season, but I kinda forgot about it. My girlfriend got me into watching it again and I must say it’s pretty good. And being a 1337 5QAXX0R for life, I noticed all the squatting that was taking place.

Squat of the Month 02/06: Vice Presidential Squat

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

cheney rifleSquatting is an international phenomenon, existing both in and out of the game world. Every so often, we find a picture perfect example of squatting in RL (real life, for the layman). When we find those examples, we members of Team Squat rejoice!
