Hmm time for a serious post then.
I'm home on holidays at the moment so I'm finally getting a chance to play Warcraft 3.
Its WARCRAFT.
In 3D.

Its good...but the main character so far (the Paladin guy) is damn annoying. He seriously pisses me off. I keep on letting him die just to teach him a lesson....but he keeps on coming back!!! So anyways...it got me thinking about the most annoying video game characters. Any suggestions?
My thoughts are:
Solid Snake - the name...so bad. Unless your a pr0n star.
Banjo Kazooie - Its a Bear. With a bird in his backpack? Why?
The Marine in Doom - He can shoot. He can destroy evil. He cant jump? Why not. I could understand it when he was carrying the BFG (that would be heavy...) but even at the start when he only had a pistol...no jumping!

Hmmm I'll think about this more.....after I play more WARCRAFT! In 3D!!!

How cute is my monkey????!?!??!!? Ooooooooh.

Just spent all morning trying to fix the system at work. There were about 4 intracately linked problems all occurring at once, which was fun.
I think it's working now, or at least, it's working well enough for me to go to lunch and turn off my mobile phone.
I'm outta here before it catches fire again.

Bwahahahaha all your blog are belong to ME!!!!!

I just gave gabe and tycho $5. That's $5 US, which is less than it used to be, but that shouldn't bother them.
I feel all warm inside.

Band plug: Walken are playing this Sunday at the Tote in Collingwood. I like, know the lead singer, dude.
...But the 3 people that read this site are already going anyway, so I guess that invitation is fairly redundant.

And we also welcome Anthony.
God damn. We should get some serious post-age happening now.

We welcome Justin to the team. Expanding the team to... 2 people.
We hope to hear from Justin soon.

The Victorian president of the Vietnamese Community in Australia, Phong Nguyen, said knives and the carrying of concealed weapons were huge problems among Asian youths.

"We shouldn't try and turn away from the issue. These kinds of incidents are too common. We think we need more education campaigns to show young Asians that carrying knives and weapons is very dangerous," Mr Nguyen said.

He said that in Asian communities the carrying of knives and other weapons was usually associated with gangs, and was not typical of Asian traditions.

Hrm... apparently the comment board is down... that kinda sucks. I might try to sign up for a different comment provider, since the comments are by far the most interesting part of this exercise (thanks Justin).

Here's a big "YO" to all my homies who can't post because they are locked out by their SOE.
Another big working week coming up. I do believe there may be a requirement for me to actually complete something in the next 37.5 working hours.
I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new pocket pc... I'm so ready to geek out for it when it arrives.
