Reasons to Watch Sports

Sure the competitive factor and the cool jumps and stuff are interesting to watch in ice skating. But I ain’t gonna lie, the cuties and their terrific asses are what keep me coming back.

See for yourself. (Edit: And he just won Olympic gold! Hooray for him.)

Looking forward to the cute footballers for this year’s World Cup too (plus USA-England matchup!).

Games I’m Looking Forward to this Year

"Lightning." Horrible naming conventions and whiny protagonists do not stop me from loving this series.

Final Fantasy XIII – My favorite franchise. Sadly I’m even considering the special Xbox 360 bundle. I hate you, Microsoft. But this is hard to resist when my Xbox is broken and this game is coming out.

Lego Universe – It’s cute and you can build stuff. Plus it requires no crazy mouse and keyboard skills and will likely have fewer people calling each other faggots while teabagging their vanquished opponents.

Starcraft 2 – Duh. Excited for this game, excited for ATVI’s stock price after it’s released. If it even gets released this year.

Those are really enough to keep me busy for the whole year and beyond. Hell, I’m still playing Oblivion.

Is There a Game Where People Don’t Give a Crap?

Or at least a clan or something? I hate playing games like Halo or MW2 because I feel like I’m screwing it up for everyone else. I mean, I do enjoy playing FPS games with other people, but not when they get too serious about it and get pissy with me for dying 20 times more than I kill. It’s not like I purposely dick around, I’m just that bad. Only reason I don’t stick strictly to social games is it’s more fun to play with your buddies and they always want to play real games.

I would make a dick-wagging joke, but I get it. I really do. I think some people go a bit overboard, but I really do understand the competitiveness and I can understand the frustration that must come when some newbie jumps in and pulls you down. I just want to find a group who doesn’t give a crap about rankings, just wants to play and be silly.

My fondest memories of gaming have been when everyone is just screwing around. Riding around on the Elephant in Halo, knife parties in Counter-Strike, all the silly situations that tend to develop when it’s 5 in the morning and it’s just you and a handful of other people crazy enough to be up then.

FPS games aren’t my genre of choice but when that silly business happens in multiplayer games, I have the absolute most fun I’ve ever had in a game. I just wish there were more like-minded people.

Injured? Sue Somebody

Law firm commercials, particularly for personal injury, are notoriously cheesy and low budget. I was working from home today, ridden with a cold, which blessed me with the opportunity to see a couple of personal injury commercials that go against the grain. These are great.
