Sorry to get all IRL serious here…

but has anyone seen the Rule of Law lately.  I saw it kicking around here somewhere about a decade ago…

No Virginia, rich white guys don’t go to jail.

Gamers in Office Space

L33tn00b: Gamers in Office SpaceYep - that’s everyone who writes on l33tn00b. Surprisingly enough, the average age of gamers in the US is 33, and we’ve been playing games for about 12 years. Sounds about right to me.

By and large, we’re a bunch of “Office Space-gamers”. Living our day in a cube and gaming in our free time. Damn depressing isn’t it…

These stats are not just uber PC gamers, but also noob console gamers. So, it’s debatable if they can actually be called “gamers”.

I like boobs…get the fuck over it

stuff.jpg

So here’s the deal: I’m tired of chicks whining about their guys looking at some chicks boobs. What the hell do they think? Do they think that a guy all of a sudden turns gay and only likes his girls boobs? I say fuck that. Guys like change. We stare at the same set of breast every damn day, you damn right we are going to look at something new. We change our oil, we change the channel, hell occasionally we change the sheets in the bed. So why are they surprised when you check out some chicks rack? Boobs are awesome, get the fuck over it. We are going to stare, get the fuck over it. These boobs above are awesome. That is all.

Fallout 3

They say Fallout 3 will be coming out Fall 2008, which of course means that there isn’t a snowballs chance in hell that it’s coming out until 2009. Too bad. I’ve always loved the Fallout series. Bethesda puts out some pretty good non-traditional RPG games. Arcanum was unique and fun too. They’re also behind Oblivion and Morrowind.

Fallout 3

Their promo video is absolutely and completely pansy-ass gay.

Kotaku has a demo review up. Here’s their worthless quote of the day:

Bethesda is crafting a beautifully ugly world rife with the unique Fallout feel and flavor that the series is known for, while bringing into the next-generation with both boots firmly planted. While it might not be what many fans of the franchise wanted, it’s shaping up to be the best Fallout experience it can be.

That last line really makes me want to run in and pre-order it…

Monday Message: Meetings Suck

Yet we continue to have them all day long… Honestly, if there are more than 4 people in a meeting, you might as well just cancel it, since nothing useful will get done anyway.

Meeting’s Suck

A few reasons why frequent and long meetings are t3h sucK:

  • They break your working day into small, incoherent pieces on a schedule incompatible with the natural breaks in your flow
  • They are normally all about words and abstract concepts, not real things (like a piece of code or a screen of design)
  • They usually contain an abysmal low amount of information conveyed per minute
  • They often contain at least one moron that inevitably get his turn to waste everyone’s time with nonsense
  • They drift off subject easier than a rear-wheel driven Chicago cab in heavy snow
  • They frequently have agendas so vague nobody is really sure what its about
  • They require thorough preparation that people rarely do anyway
