On MST3K

Everyone that grew up a nerd/geek true and proud remembers watching Mystery Science Theatre 3000. For those that don't know what the show is about simply put it's an extensive troll on bad movies.  The plot behind the show is that a delusional mad scientist sends a janitor working in deep 13 to his satellite (the Satellite Of Love) and forces him to watch the worst movies ever made. To retain his sanity Joel the janitor, and founder of the show, builds 4 robot friends Gypsy to manage the space station, Cambot to broadcast himself and the robots experience down to the scientist. Then there's Crow and Tom Servo the two main bots. They unlike the other two serve no real purpose as far as the S.O.L. goes, but instead their purpose is to join Joel in making fun of the craptastic movies the scientist forces them to watch to keep themselves sane and entertained.

Recently I've acquired *cough* every single episode of the show and have been watching through all of the episodes. Obviously this has been an extensive process but thoroughly entertaining, and what have I discovered now that I'm in the last season of the show? That there have been a ton of memes that began in MST3K including but not limited to the world first ever recorded rick roll. That's right folks the worlds most infamous trolling meme began not on 4chan but on a TV show in the early 90's.

Need proof?

Alot has changed

I had completely forgotten about this blog but in my quest to rid myself of my facebook addiction I have decided to start using this daily, writing about anything. So for this first new post I'll talk about what has changed since my last post. The big change is that I'm no longer unemployed now I'm a delivery driver working for Papa Johns. I have a new laptop and I'm now the proud owner of a droid DOWN WITH APPLE!....sorry couldn't control myself for a moment. Also my interest in photography is growing again and this may very well turn into a photo blog some days and other days a chronicle of my adventures in RVA.

For now thats all but ill be back and it wont take a year this time.

Full Metal Alchemist

Ok so i heard about this last year and its finally coming out. This new Full Metal Alchemist series is supposed to follow the manga much more precisely, and damn good animation to boot. You can watch online here or im sure you can find a download of it somewhere.

In this first episode Ed and Al have to fight the ice alchemist, who is on a mission to destroy central, if i say any more ill reveal important plot points and im not gonna do that to you, so just watch and enjoy.

game recommendations

So if anyone's looking for a good pc or 360 game id highly recommend you get The Last Remnant a relatively new game by Square Enix. Although it is a JRPG meaning its got square's laughable English voice actors, and I've noticed that the subtitle file seems to have a ton of gramatical errors, the graphics are amazing and run smoothly on my laptop at max, tho my laptop is very powerful its not the most top of the line pc out there so most people should be able to run LR well. Even though the voice acting is laughable the storyline is prety damned epic.

Synopsis:
More or less you play as a young man named Rush who after recieving a letter from his parents runs to share the letter with his sister, after the message ends they're attacked by the token black man in the game. The man kidnaps his sister and leaves, Rush predictably chases after ending up in the middle of a battlefield where the county of Athlem is defending its boarders against a monster army. The battle is ended with the remnant controled by the Marquee of Athlem David Nassau, a Titus look alike and i suspect has a homosexual interest in Rush. Rush then gains the support of Athlem to find his sister. Thats about it im not going to ruin the whole game besides thats just the intro to the story.

lack of desktop customization in mac OSX?

Ok so im sitting around right now waiting til i gotta go to school so i decided to surf the web a bit. My web surfing brought me to an article on life hacker about a nice little japanese program that lets windows users use mac OSX fonts, now for one reason or another this got me to thinking about mac OSX customization. As most people know im really big into customizing my work and play environment for the look and efficiency of it. Just last week a redid my desktop again and it turned out like this...

From Screenshots

So with lifehacker sparking my interest in mac OSX customization i did a quick google image search for mac OSX customized desktops and found little to nothing, just a few color themes and samurize like system stat programs, no alternative shells, no taskbar-less desktops, nothing like that. Now at some point id like to get a mac for graphics work but ill be in no rush if i cant customize my enviroment.
