Yahoo... raises more questions.

Recently I have become addicted to yahoo answers. I enjoy helping people that fail at using google, in fact my info page even has a fun new quote: "If people knew how to use google, there wouldn't be a yahoo answers section for video & online games".

Obviously that is the section that I stick to, since I can be the most helpful there. The neat thing about yahoo answers is you get points for answering questions, and more points for getting the BEST answer (and it makes you feel like a hero). Now, I've been using it for 3 days, and have answered 41 questions, received 3 best answers, and 36 of the questions are still open (so I might get best answer for them still, and most likely will).

Its fun, but obviously since I'm blogging about it, it has its downside. That actually isn't the stupid people that can't use google, they make me giggle. When I can spend 5 seconds googling something, and copy and past the answer and the url (as my source), its funny. It is the people with HORRIBLE spelling, grammar, questions, or... well... not questions. To show my frustration with some of these people:

i am a human warroir and i like my warroir a lot. but a lot of people say that the warroir sucs.and i think i want to become a death knight but i want too be a waroir. im just wondering if the death knight is better than the warior or r they the same. i really want to be a waroir but people say it sucs.and i was just thinking when blizzard makes a new expansion pack they might make the waroir better. so my main question is the waroir or death knight better.please tell me the differences. and also i really like my waroir im in lvl 16 and i am thinking of becoming a deathknight.but want to be a waroir forever.but people say they suc. i will give u 10 points.

See? WHAT THE HELL?! Usually they aren't that bad, but there are a lot of times where I have to figure out what the person is asking before I can even answer their question, sometimes I just give up.

I stick to answering questions in the video & online game section (which, I guess is where the stupid people are, damn 1337 kids and their hibbity hop spelling for "u" and "r" and "ne") but that doesn't mean I don't go check out other sections for a laugh, for an upchuck, whichever. For instance:

"I had unprotected sex today, stupid i no, but i got my period yesterday, will i still get preganant?" - that means she was on her period while having sex... unprotected sex.... /barf.

[paraphrased, trust me, you didn't want to see the original] "oh man!!!! what do I do!!! my brother just found out I've been cutting myself. He just went down to tell my dad!!! What do I do?!?!!?! I'm so scared, omg" - ya, you get the jist.

"can I get pregnant from giving a guy [oral sex]" - hehehehehehe

To sum it up:

The best way to sum up the internet is by using wikipedia. However, the best way to summarize the users you will regularly find on the internet:



True story, if your giggling quite hard right now its probably because you have seen that happen about 1000 times (usually if you frequent youtube).

No one messes with the Batman.

You might of heard about this, maybe not, either way.

Christian Bale is starring in Terminator 4 as John Conner. While on set, doing his acting thing, apparently the light guy had to cut across the area (the cameras were not rolling at the time). What do normal people go? Pause and wait. What does Batman do? Rips off his head and rapes the corpse.

He verbally raped this camera man, for a good 2 minutes, at least. Since youtube is... well... youtube, somehow the audio recording made it up. However, what this means is there has been about 3,000,000,000 spoofs and distortions of the original, so its kind of buried. However, family guy did a spoof using the actual recording of Bale.

[Note: The other person (not Peter) IS Christian Bale, and IS the actual recording of him flipping on the lights man]



(family guy's is pretty funny, I wish I could find the whole unedited non-spoof version though, I want to know what the camera man actually responded with)

The 'famous'

[long time no post. With school, WoW, my comic, and my girlfriend, it is kind of hard to get around to update, however I will stick to a schedule if an agreeable one is posted in the comments section of this post.]

When someone says "famous people" the first thought of most is the Hollywood Stars, or stupid blonds who abuse their fame, and are stupid. However, the internet community has its own famous people, that are equally, if not more so, awesome.

At the forefront of internet stars are the Web Comic writers, and the Youtube stars. This is about the second category. I was going to go into a whole bunch of the more famous youtubers and what they do and such, but then I thought...

No.

Souljaboy is one of those 'stars' so screw that crap. Also the vast majority are either really really really stupid, or gay and stupid. I forgot to mention the Parquor people, and the continental dancers. If your really interested in the famous of youtube, they had an award ceremony where a large amount of said famous people showed up. That would be [here].

The person I will talk about, is one with actual talent: Bo Burnham. This is a 18 year old, that sings some really hilarious songs, that are well done. He was at that award ceremony. Actually, there will be less talking about him, and more going "if you don't know about this guy, check him out, here are links to all his current youtube songs". Note: when I say good, I mean he has played at concerts because of his youtube fame.

Sorry, but the songs that he does that are on youtube the piano is a little loud (when the piano is used). However if you feel the need I know thepiratebay happens to have his CD "Bo Fo Sho" (I do not support Pirating this... *cough*). His CD also has 3 songs that ARE NOT on youtube (from bo), but are fucking amazing.

END OF THE WORLD!!!

'ze zombies are coming!

A roadsign on the side of a highway in Austin, Texas warns motorists of what is up ahead - living dead apocalypse.


That is what the sign really said, and the picture was taken on a cell phone camera. However, the sign is not of the legal, or literal manner. It was in fact the work of a 'hacker' who broke the lock, and reprogrammed the sign to say "CAUTION! ZOMBIES AHEAD!!!! SEEK COLD CLIMATES!". Then the 'hacker' changed the password on the lock, and ran away, meaning the sign had to be fully reset.

Rumour has it that this was a just an advertising scheme by Capcom for Resident Evil 5. However an official statement from a Capcom employee states that this 100% had nothing to do with them, since it is illegal. That doesn't stop them from receiving free marketing however.

A lot of people aren't too happy about this, mainly the police. This "work of a master hacker" doesn't really break major laws, the most severe is actually "vandalism". The "master hacker" comment was made by Austin's Chief of Police."How to Hack a Road Sign" has been posted on the Internet, and to me it doesn't seem like a very hard thing to do... in fact it seems like its pretty easy.

So... who wants to change a road sign to say:
"HONK IF YOUR GAY FOR JESUS" ?

Esca-Rancher.

So, a lot of people have fond memories of the show Escaflowne. It was one of the first anime on TV that were pretty widely watched by a younger audience. The show is (in a nutshell) about a group of people who pilot medieval mechs, on a mythical planet, fighting against an evil nation.

More of the people reading this however, probably remember the show Monster Rancher. That also had a person who got teleported to a mythic land to fight an evil nation of baddies. However, instead of mechs, they had monsters that they summoned from discs they found.

I fondly remember both of these shows, and have actually recently watched both; Monster Rancher was last year, and I just spent the weekend watching Escaflowne. While watching Escaflowne the first time (first of this time, so friday)), I watched it in Japanese with English subs (everyone who watches anime knows the japanese voices are much better, however sometimes the case is not wanting to read). The second time I watched it with my girlfriend, and she wanted to watch it in english, because she 'remembered the english being OK'. It wasn't. However, as I was watching it I realized something: Escaflowne, has many of the Monster Rancher voice actors.

A quick IMDB reveals I was right!:

• Genki = Dilandau
  
  • Andrew Francis
• Tiger of the Wind = Allan
  
  • Brian Drummond
• Folken = Moo
  
  • Paul Dobson
• Golem = Dornkirk
  
  • Richard Newman
• Captain Jim (Gel Leader) = Bulgus
  
  • Michael Dobson
• Tournoment Announcer = The Mole Man
  
  • Terry Klassen
• Big Blue = Gaddes
  
  • Ward Perry
• Mocchi = Eriyh
  
  • Janyse Jaud

I think that is pretty funny just how many are shared between the two. The sad thing is the person that voices Genki and Dilandau sucks for both roles... or well... its more suited for Genki but still.

Boo is for bandwidth.

Bell sympatico sucks, everyone knows this. Mostly because of those fun hidden charges, such as: "cheapest, fastest internet" what they don't tell you is: you have to pay double the listed price, because you have to rent the router. Their service staff seem as though they have never actually used a computer before, and that you interrupt their day by calling. Their "fastest internet" is apparently a 8mb/s connection. However that would mean that in such things as WoW, my latency should be almost 0, not upwards of 150.

The most fun thing about bell however, is that they have a limit on bandwidth. The top account they have can only have an upload/download limit of 60gigs a month. A lot of people go "I don't download that much, in a month, thats fine". Everything you do contributes to this: World of Warcraft, torrents (to figure out how much this will cost you, its not just the size of the download, because remember your uploading at the same time, so multiply the download by about 1.5 to find out the toll it will take), youtube, etc.

For each gig that you go over the limit, you are charged $1.5. Did I mention that bell doesn't actually mention this anywhere? that its only after your charged, if you ask, that they tell you. Anyway, I'm already over this month, which means I'm paying the extra fee, and there are still 5 days to go before next month.

IGN raped my childhood.

IGN is one of the Internet's most reputable gaming site; its reviews are always in detail and well done, it provides free in-depth walkthroughs, they provide pretty good gaming news. They also do a top 100 list every so often, and this is where IGN fails. Most of the time their lists contain a lot of questionable placing. However, their newest top 100 list is above all, the wost thing the internet has ever seen (above "two girls, one cup", which I'm told is quite horrid).

Now, if there is a god for little nerdy children, I'm sure he's committing seppuku right now. There are SO many things wrong with this list. However for the sake of the rage building up inside me, i'll just save some time and outline some of the larger facts:

• Naruto beats 62 shows? no! just... no! Especially not most of the ones above it.
• Beavis and Butt-head is probably the stupidest show ever.
• The Simpsons is not the best animated show of all time.
• Hellsing (one of the greatest anime of all time) didn't make it on the list, at all.
• WHERE THE FUCK WAS REBOOT?!
  

um... this'll get lengthy... so I'm just going to be quite now...

oh for some added rage-inducing fun here are some of IGN user's comments:

Naruto - undisputed NUMBER 1
NO CONTEST!
Japanese voiceovers obviously, english one sucks.

Uhhh Family Guy......is NOT funny. Go watch the South Park two-parter called Cartoon Wars, and then come back here and tell me that Family Guy is funny. For Christ sakes it is written by a bunch of manatees.

According to IGN, there are over 40 cartoons better than Tom and Jerry.
Say it with me again...
IGN SAYS THAT THERE ARE 40 CARTOONS THAT ARE GREATER THAN TOM AND JERRY.
This countdown has lost all credibility.

I didn't read the whole list because you guys did one per page...yeah I know...100 other posters said the same thing...WELL I'M 101 DAMNIT! Naruto better make it close to if not top 10 on this list. Yes...even though I've never actually watched the whole series FMA should be higher (come on...who is making this list...is this person an anime fan?) Also there it would be a tragedy if Berserk is not high on this list. Oh and when I say Naruto I mean the Japanese with English Subs version, not the cheesy Cartoon Network crap. And easo91...you can't really talk if you almost always hate anime because if you almost always hate anime then you most likely have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to anime. That's like me saying, "Hey little girl you should get the mean looking Doberman Pincer over there as a pet cuz I know what I'm saying since I pretty much hate dogs."

[paraphrased, lost actual comment] "DragonBall Z totally deserves to be lower then Naruto. Naruto at least has real character, all dragon ball Z has is stupid characters that shoot lightning out of their hands"
