In terms of music services, you’ve got your Pandoras, your Last.fms and your GrooveSharks (and Rhapsodys and so on) but I’ve been using Grooveshark to post tracks I’m enjoying for a while now. Now they have a VIP service, for 30 bones. Umm, I think I may just do it so that I can pay for my music at work.
Horsecock and crew return and while singing about how much they love rape, Ennis and Burrows take the Crossed to a whole new level of “Rob zombie villain” because really, that is all the Crossed appear to be now. “The Firefly Family” as a communicable disease. The Manson Malaise if you will.
Our Band of survivors continue on their way, running from Equine Penis and his band of Rapist Meth-Heads, who stopped for a bite to eat along the way.
Yeah, we know they are cannibals and all, but look how happy this guy is, you might call him a Happy Meal, if you were into puns. I’m not, but that is one gleeful dinner right there.
The Survivors don’t get far enough away and are forced to take matters in hand:
Like many of these stories, showing up after the party with guns doesn’t really go their way. I’ll leave it to you to read the issue and find out why.
Crossed continues to be the Gross Out Apocalypse that it promised to be but the long lag between issues almost led to me missing this one. I may even give up on it until a Trade appears, because it IS entertaining and compelling, but hard to keep an eye on. Burrows and Ennis continue to deliver a horrifying world, much worse than say “the Walking Dead” without the need to kill off the major cast (I know its only seven issues in, but with the lag, its on par with the Walking Dead in terms of distance of time between tradgedies)
It’s sparse and horrible, when does issue 8 come out?
Update: The very next day I received my disc via an overnight courier:
The shipping date shows it being shipped 2 days after I received it. Obviously a broken system. I have it installed now, I’ll probably post about it here and there over at my twitter stream, watch for more there.
Where the hell is Windows 7 disk? It’s been a few days and the damn screen hasn’t even lit up with; we’re sorry that we can’t achieve something we’ve had months to plan for and a supply chain so long you can’t see the end of it from mars. I’d imagine that if I was a computer company that was selling the fact that we were going to upgrade everyone who bought a new PC in X amount of time would have an upgrade disk ordered and packaged for each one, even if it wasn’t requested. I guess that Dell didn’t do that. They instead used the Just in Time method. In case people didn’t want to upgrade, because they were deliriously happy with VIST-…oh hell, what does UAC want now? A.
From all reports, Windows 7 is a big step up and I am really looking forward to putting it to the test here. I just wish Dell would ship it out or at least acknowledge that I have it ordered.
Number one Search term on Google for the past 2 hours, “Return to Halloweentown” it’s after 7pm all over the US right now. It is literally past the bedtimes of the majority of the people using Google to search now. Nice. Also, how is it that saltpeter became so popular? Did someone on TV suddenly discover how to make their teenage son stop masturbating at dinner?
Return to Halloweentown is a kids movie about a family of witches and their ongoing relationship with an alternate universe with rubbersuit monsters as the primary residents. Said Halloweentown residents sometimes cross over and have adventures in the “real” world. I know this because I have a sub-teen in my house and she watches these movies as if they are entertainment. I know that if it isn’t Ernest Saves Hallowe’en it isn’t a good kids Hallowe’en movie.
You can have a command-line based tweeter!
type the following into /usr/bin/tweet
then type chmod +x /usr/bin/tweet (changing the username and password)
#!/bin/bash
# This is a command line Twitter Client
# Set Username and Password –user “<username>:<Password>”
# Usage: tweet “Content of Tweet up to 127 chars”
# Shorten the String to just 126 Chars (just in case)
STATUS=$(echo $1 | awk ‘{print substr($0,1,126)}’)
curl -silent -o /dev/null –basic –user “Username:Password” –data-ascii “status=$STATUS” “http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json”
Finally things look up for Rick and his Crew (except for Dale, he’s boned)
Issue 65 Opens with the Survivors holed up in a church after being attacked from the tree line outside. Needless to say Rick is pissed off and ready to spit bullets.
Rightly so. It’s been about 4 weeks maybe 6 since his wife was killed by the governer and his men. Rick has been on the edge of really dangerous for a while now.
Issue 65 leaves us wondering if maybe he has stepped over the edge, (not really)
It’s been a while since Dale was bit, shouldn’t he have turned by now?
Speaking of which, if infected meat doesn’t turn you, doesn’t that mean that the “fairly fresh” dead are a good source of iron?
Yum, wandering Long Pig Sashimi!
This is a good issue, but it is over so quickly I’m about ready to chew the pages.
Call of Duty 4 was Great so Modern Warfare 2 should be awesome?
Published by NiteMayr on November 5, 2009In this interview we get this gem:
Q – Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?
A – Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings.
No Mods, no console, no “lean” no self-hosting, no nothing. You may as well buy the console, because it is piracy proof! Wait, did you say piracy proof? Why is it all over the net being played on hacked Xbox 360s? Shoot! Doesn’t that mean that this crappy negative-featured version is hobbled for no god-damned reason at all? Yup!
