I have a oddly piece of smelly pie baking in the oven right now. More...whenever I get bored.

Barack Hussein Obama...

is not Muslim/Islam, you fucking retards. Just because the mentally challenged "reporters" at Fox News can feed you bullshit, doesn't mean its true. Barack Obama, is NOT muslim, and i'll easily prove all of you people thinking he is wrong, with REAL evidence, not some conservative magazine's opinion.

First of all, a little bio about Obama (http://www.examiner.com/a-534540~Can_a_past_of_Islam_change_the_path_to__president_.html). He attends a Church of Christ in Chicago, and has for a while now. The so called islamic extremists school he attended is in Jakarta, Indonesia. Yes Islam is the dominant religion there, but the school; Busuki Elementary isn't any sort of a Madrassa. How do i know that? CNN sent a team of reporters to Jakarta to conduct a few interviews and report on what kind of school Busuki actually was. What did they discover? That the school followed a national curriculum, didn't force religion, and was a public school that focused on education, not extremism. The school did offer once a week religious classes, but Islam wasn't the only one, there were christians as well. So what i would like to ask Fox News is how the hell do they use this as evidence to demonstrate that Obama is a muslim? Oh yeah, did i mention he only attended this school for 2 years and was 6-8 years old. Great evidence Fox News, wonderful job, maybe you can continue sucking Insight Magazine's dick for a few shitty opinions. Want my source? here you go:

Good job CNN, you know how to make a report without bias. As for all of the other news/media companies that live off bias, fuck you. Even though its the citizenry's fault for not being able to decipher between opinion and fact, and its also our fault that the wrong people get elected. I guess modern media is still shit, except a few companies and of course our beloved internet.

Oh yeah and if you still think Indonesia is just like Pakistan/Afghanistan/Iran, etc, Obama's elementary school teachers dressed in Western Clothing, not turbans, robes, etc.

It really sickens me how close minded some Christians can be, to think that Obama is some sort of antichrist/terrorist and hes going to blow shit up is completely ignorant. Maybe if some of your had actually read what powers the president is granted, you would see that the Congress would easily over turn such a president, and he would get impeached. But nope, according to some hes going to go into the White House and start turning us all into muslims and killing christians.

And what is actually wrong with having someone of a different religion in public office? One of our greatest presidents, John F. Kennedy, was catholic, and we didn't see the Pope taking over the United States. "Well America was founded on Christianity", bullshit, it was founded on religious freedom. Yes, our founding fathers believed in "God" but every damned religion does, just different versions. And i highly doubt that if Obama gets presidency his main goal will be to support his religious group, he would, like most presidents he would represent all religious groups. I think its time we got our heads out of our ass, you saw what happened the last time we elected a bible belt rider. Yeah, we spent hundreds billions on a war that had no link to 9/11 whatsoever, not to mention 3,000 dead U.S. soldiers and many more injured.


If you're going to vote this coming election, please have more intelligence than that of a walrus.

sean's first post: a respone to kotaku

Even with all the alternatives on the market, no one can look Microsoft straight in the eye and claim that there's a service more complete or polished than Xbox LIVE. And their arcade titles are complimenting the service, not just through spec-sheet pleasing "leaderboards," but massive amounts of co-op injected into new and old titles alike. I have huge hopes for Home and the few PSN titles out there are fantastic, but LIVE tips the scales of me buying/playing a game on the 360 instead of the PS3...daily. As for Nintendo, their infrastructure is the equivalent of a 1991 AOL member homepage with animated mailbox gifs and site counters. It's shamefully outdated, and not in the ironic way.

A new post (hxxp://kotaku.com/339165/calling-it-the-xbox-360-won-2007) on the popular gaming news blog Kotaku declares that they find Xbox Live the winner for online gaming in 2007. In their analysis, they compare Microsoft's online service to that of Nintendo and Sony, but is this examination complete and conclusive? What gives this man the right to compare the content level of a 4 gig DVD inside their large piece of electronics to the tiny hand held Nintendo DS?

There is an obvious reason the DS won in sales this year; its portable, its suitable for all ages, and its cheap. For the price of a 360 game, one can almost buy two DS games, and the cartridge for these is probably a 10th of the size! how could any one expect the same level of content in a portable game next to a DVD in a console?

And what gives this guy the right so say that Live has the best online gaming service available? he compared it to the two other consoles; the wii and the ps3. But the Wii was designed to be played with friends in the same room, and the online service was created with little 8 year old kids online. What parent could submit their child to a game with voice chat with drunk college kids or worse: those evil 12 year olds who are so ruthless on Live. And the PS3, well no one has a PS3 so what are you going to do. He missed a crucial opponent though, acting like he doesn't exist; PC gaming.

PC gaming has made steps beyond Live that pre-teen fan boys can only begin to imagine, yet it is so much more simple. On xbox live, you select an option that you want to play a game. From there the service searches out other people who just pressed the same button and throws you all together in a tiny room. This brilliant scheme sets you back about $50 a year. Now who's tiny room is it? why, which ever one of those kids who happens to have the lowest latency, of course! just throw all the hosting onto a system that is already running the game and we'll have cool runnings from here on out. in PC gaming, a group of people come together, chip in some money (and i've looked at it, if you get a small handful or so of people it can be $50 or less per year easy) and create their own server. On this server, they can pick their own rules and map rotations and game types. They can ban cheaters or "hax0rz" with a simple command. What has live got to stop these hax0rs? well, you can report them, and they'll probably have their account suspended for a while. but what happens if a couple people report some innocent young chap who just pwnd their asses of the face of the earth? well, they'll probably have their account suspended for a while. Now that kid can't play, where-as on the server system, he just goes and jumps on a new one of hundreds.

Another clear difference in online pc gaming and live is the competency of the players. server admins do have more power than a normal person on live, so their is some kind of law present. our little johnny the 1337 12 year old decides that he's going to start busting heads on voice chat, well consider little johnny banned. from there he can go find a server full of other little 1337 12 year olds and they can all yell obscenities on their microphones together. But for every other server in the list, you'll find these kids completely absent. There is a level of respect there that you just can't buy from Microsoft.

Let's talk about Microsoft's acclaimed content download packs. Gamers eventually get tired of playing the same few maps over and over again, so when the fan base for a certain game begins to shrink, Microsoft can release a content download pack to update the maps and game types, for a price. Pay and extra 5 or 10 dollars, and you get 4 or 5 new maps, maybe a new game type, and continue to play their product for another year or so, until they release the next content pack in the form of Game 2, for another full $60. Now how does PC gaming keep it's gamers happy? Users can create their own maps and mods and release them, for free, on the internet. What?! Computer games release more content at a quicker pace, for free, from better servers, with less in-game lag, for a game that initially cost less money, but somehow looks better?! just a thought...

Another Buystuffmas passes... and here come awards

Underneath the 8 inches of snow (I'm in Colorado at this moment in time) and pounds of lights and trees, another 'buystuffmas' slips by. We should just call this damn 'christian' holiday National Materialism Day and get our heads out of our asses to be honest. Maybe post-pone jesus' birthday or vice versa since only 20% of people if that actuallly celebrate christmas with that being the central idea. Oh well, maybe i'm just a cranky asshat.

Anyways, I feel like a dried prune due to the typical colorado weather and altitude and I can wait to see my lovely wonderful girlfriend when i return.

But in a sadder light, there's.. people.. i miss.
Oh well i shall get over it.

And without further ado, here are my annual Matt's award ceremony!
These are given to people I hold dear to my heart and deserve these with the utmost respect.
Wear it proud!
~~~~
I'd like to give my yearly "good for you!" brownie button award to Grant for finally having a good pc and not shutting the fuck up about how godly he is now.
So grant, I formally announce

ahem.
"GOOD FOR YOU!"
dumbass.
Thank you. Now we can do some pwning in TF2.

Runner up was Zach for failing to succeed in flaunting useless shit.
:D
~~~~
My "I'm Better than YOU" award goes to no one other than myself of course.

So I'd like to announce that I am indeed better than you and my ego will clearly tell you that jackass.

Runner up again was Zach for this award in an attempt to have a successful superiority complex that clearly falls short of mine.
~~~~
The "Wonderful Person" award goes to my girlfriend for being..well an amazing person.
Take my ideal woman in my mind and she's pretty much a projected image of just that only short of playing video games which she's started to do as it is anyways!
So I just wanna say...

I love you so much and I can't wait to see you when i come home!
~~~~
The "Sinful Award" goes to Cheyenne.
oh you're just silly you silly christian you!
~~~~
The "Fail" award goes to no one other than Hillary Clinton for not only having a face to ROFL at but for failing at politics as well.

Runners up for this award were my sister, Zach again, and grant who only saved himself by building a good PC.
~~~~

In media, my favorites of the year are as follows
~~~~
Top 5 Games of the year (in order 1 being best):
1)Bioshock
2)Orange Box
3)Phantom Hourglass
4)Call of Duty 4
5)Unreal Tournament 3

Crysis did not make the list although it wins hard in graphics.
~~~~
Top 5 Movies I saw this year:
1) Superbad
2) Igby Goes Down
3)I am Legend
4)28 Weeks Later
5) Walk hard

28 Weeks later didn't live up to 28 days later so i honestly have to put I am legend between the two so its debateable.

~~~~
I'm too tired to do the rest of this section so i'll do it later.

Anyways, hope everyone had an excellent National materialism day and hope you all have a great new years!

~With love

Merry Christmas

It's the night before buystuffmas, and i'd just like to wish anyone who reads this blog a merry christmas =D. Eh, corny but i felt it was needed.
