Another Attack on Video Games

In an article (SEEN HERE) Jack Thompson paraded in front of cameras after the NIU shooting blaming video games. The shooters roomates said he played the game "Counter-Strike" (as did everyone in the room) and the shooter also had a history of mental illness.
Now let's take a quick look at the Virginia Tech shooting, the shooter also had a history on mental illness; however, after a governor-ordered search, there was no connection to video games. Strangely enough Jack Thompson said this guy played video games, which were to blame for the shooting.
Interesting, eh?
So we should conclude here that Jack is a moron. He doesn't focus on the real issues at hand. Let's see here Jack, I'll give you some clue words and let's see if they help you out: "Iraq"...you're drawing a blank? Hmm, let's see here, how about this one, "war" ...no Jack it has nothing to do with video games. What I'm trying to get at here is that we could be bringing troops home from Iraq instead of leaving them in the desert. How about trying to do something about Darfur?
Of course none of the major issues appeal to you Jack because you're too busy wrapped up in your own crap to try and do something about it.

I will end this blog with an amazing quote said by Hal Halpin,

Blaming video games for the behavior of the mentally-challenged is vile on many levels.

Fully Automatic Shotgun!

The Blackwater group has developed a fully automatic 12 gauge shotgun called the AA-12. It has a drum that can carry up to 20 rounds and a normal magazine which carries less. The gun is virtually maintenance free considering that the gun is made from a bunch of different types of stainless steel. Another cool adaptation to the gun is that a new type of shotgun shell has been developed, inside the shell hides a fragmentation grenade called the Frag 12. Once the primer is hit, the Frag 12 zooms out of the shell and creates a big explosion. The AA12 is a force to be reckon with.

Grindhaus Productions Update #1

For those of you who don't know, my friend John and I have a production group called Grindhaus Productions, we got the idea for the name from the Grindhouse double feature that recently came out. Anyways, we got lots of movies planned.

• Devil May Cry fan movie
• Resident Evil remake movie
  
• Cataclysmic Space Catastrophe 2
• D-Day movie (possibly)

We completed the scripts for both Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, casting is going on for both. Cataclysmic Space Catastrophe 2 is being planned, and as for the D-Day Movie it is merely an idea that is being considered.
You can see the movies we have done HERE.

C&C Goes First Person... AGAIN!!!

Tiberium the next installment in the Command & Conquer series. This time it is an FPS. There was only one other Command & Conquer FPS and that was Renegade. Renegade was awesome. After that they planned to make Renegade two which would fill in the blank between Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun, but the game was later cancelled. So like most of the Command & Conquer games you are in the battle between GDI and NOD and their struggle to control the world. In Tiberium you are doing just that and you play as the good guys, GDI. The game picks up after C&C 3: Tiberium Wars and not only will you be fighting NOD, you'll be fighting the Scrin, an alien race who wants a piece of the Tiberium pie. According to Chris Plummer of EA LA you will be given one gun that you can transform to fit your needs. This means that it goes from standard assault rifle, to grenade launcher, to missile launcher, and back.
The game is expected to come out in 2009, after playing C&C Renegade I just can't wait to play this game. It is supposed to come out for PC, PS3, and XBOX 360.

I Cloned me a Filet Mignon!

Not really.
Apparently there's a new thing happening with meat being cloned. You might be wondering, "Connor, is this safe? Is this 'cloned meat' okay for me?" the FDA has approved cloned meat, yes it is okay to eat. Now you most likely have not and won't sink your teeth into a piece of cooked clone meat because it's not allowed in the industry... yet. Now I say "most likely" because there are always cheaters in the world. Another reason cloned meat hasn't showed up is because most clones have birth defects. Once clones come out with little to no birth defects and the FDA finishes the report on cloned meat you may be able to find some cloned meat at your local grocery store or butcher.
Feel free to post comments on the subject, I'm interested to see what people think about this.

MacBook Air

I have a Snow Day today so I figured I might as well post my next blog.
Most of you have seen the MacBook Air. For those of you who haven't it's the new Mac laptop that is 1.5 inches thick... dang that's thin. The MacBook Air is complete with wireless internet, built in iSight camera, 5 hours of battery life, 13.3 inch wide screen with a resolution of 1280x800, and Mac OS X Leopard. Because the MacBook Air is so slim there is no CD drive so mac gamers will have to by an external DVD drive.
I'm not big on Macs but with my experience with Apple products the first batch will suck and after that they will be pretty cool. If I were to get a Mac it wouldn't be this one. Why you ask? The main reason is because of the "no DVD drive" thing, that sucks, I don't want to have to buy an external DVD drive. If an external DVD drive comes with the MacBook Air, then that would be cool.
I'm a Windows guy, so I don't take to kindly to Macs. I like Windows because almost every application I've wanted/have is for Windows. If the product is a Mac only thing, Windows will have a knock off of some type. Anyways, I'm waiting to see how this MacBook Air turns out.

A Sabotage Gone Wrong

I believe we are all familiar with the sabotage videos right? Where it would say find the error in the picture and a few seconds later a picture would appear and there would be a loud shriek or something of that nature.
I was interested in this Invader Zim thing called "Bloody Gir" where in some scenes there would be a somewhat transparent picture of Gir on the screen covered in blood. You would have to watch very closely and frame-by-frame to find them all. Anyways, I got a sabotage video that was scary and disgusting. There was text that said, "There's a bloody Gir in this picture. Can you see it?" And I was thinking, I don't have time for this, so I was seeking through the video and the sabotage picture was a mutilated body on the street, this picture was for real. There was blood everywhere and the guys ribs were showing.
Why would someone create a video showing something like this!? This person's YouTube account should be banned. What kind of sick freak posts a picture of a mutilated body on YouTube!? This guy is worse than anti-video game people!

Have sabotage videos gone to far? Sure it's fun to scare your friends, but when you get pictures like these it just goes to far!

Airsoft Attacked

VIDEO FOUND HERE!

So this idiot on Fox News says, "Who manufactures these and who's buying them?" I'll tell you who, people who love airsoft. They imply that cops will shoot anyone who has an airsoft gun out, again another stupid comment. The police will only ask to look at the gun and if you don't cooperate, most likely, they'll arrest you. These people need to do research on airsoft before they do a broadcast on it.
Any normal person that gets held up with and airsoft gun knows that it's fake because of the tiny hole in the front of the gun.
Now, these news casters are talking about airsoft like it's a crime, look airsoft guns and toy guns aren't bad, it's the idiots that use them that are bad.

As you notice, I'm calmer then my last post because airsoft is a new thing to me, I didn't grow up on it. I don't know where these news casters are from but to the news casters in Utah (also in Fox News) it's rather cool.
UTAH AIRSOFT VIDEO FOUND HERE!

I just want these people to do a little research before they decide to attack something. Take a trip out to an airsoft game and talk to some of the people there.

Video Game Contraversy

I first heard about this thing on a message board I go to (Bentley Bros Forums). The post was about this guy who was upset about Mass Effect and how it had this lesbian scene (That showed nothing) as well as the fact that when you create a character you can edit their weight and, for females, breast sizes (which I admit is somewhat shallow). To sum it all up he was being like one of those annoying political types that are angered by anything video game related that could barely affect a child. What is it with these idiots? At first Senator what's-his-face pushed the ESRB on us. This wasn't that bad, I mean, hey at least we got a rating system right? something to tell us what age group the game is best suited for. Then here comes the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "Hot Coffee mod." Everyone should be familiar with this one because Hilary Clinton wouldn't shut the heck up about it. Another video game incident I heard about was that a guy in London killed his room mate and they concluded that it was because of the game Manhunt.
... WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!
Any moron can say that. That's like if I went to school and beat up some guy and someone noticed that I had Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Tekken 5 and concluded, "Well it's obvious that Mortal Kombat and Tekken influenced his actions."
Anti-video game people piss me off because they're all the same, they think that video games are bad and that they're going to ruin our lives. Honestly, get a life, no one gives 2 bird turds about what you think.
For those of you who are unaware of how bad anti-video game people are, they would type of things like this:

Books are evil and eat your kids. Studies show that 4 out of 5 babies will die this year due to you reading books. There is also a dramatic increase in shootings because of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and there have also been increases in burnings and pyrotechnics due to Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

Sound a little strange? Think that person is crazy right? We all know that isn't true, but this is like something the anti-video game groups would make up, why?
Oh I'll tell you why...
BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF WHINY LITTLE RUNTS WHO THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE OLD MEANS THEY CAN SAY VIDEO GAMES ARE BAD. They should all go and swallow the stuff under the sink or drink some kool-aid (Hope you understand the reference) because they're nothing but a stigma to America!
