Thanks bro, you're swell

There are a great many things I would gladly accept from family, gifts and praise among them, but let's leave illnesses out of this relationship, please. I beg you.

*Has a coughing fit*

Regular scheduling shall resume after I've kicked this cold's ass. Once it's done kicking mine.

The Sims 4 and False Expectations

So, I've been hearing all this flack Sims 4 is getting about the whole direction EA is going with preventing the possibility of reviews before the game's release. I've also been seeing people linking lists about what will or will not be included, and how so many people are getting their tits in a twist over how Maxis--or whoever the fuck is developing this rendition--are not combining all their favourite things and wrapping them in brown paper and string to be delivered in the finished product.

HELLO?!

First of all, there is never a finished product when you're talking about Sims anything. And the reason for this is...

SALES! Everyone should be aware by now, when purchasing ANYTHING from Electronic Arts, that they are essentially signing a contract with the devil (a company who wants to sell you shit). Case in point, the Sims franchise.

Addiction out of control. Also, Pokémon.

So I got a new 3DS XL. Anyone who knows me could tell you that logically I shouldn't even be writing a blog post about it, because I'd be glued to my games and wouldn't have the willpower to turn myself away. You ought feel privileged, two people following me, for I tore myself away from mine addiction just to bring deliverance unto thy souls.

For though I am a woman wrapped in the sin of gluttony, from whence the wellspring of my attachment to the visceral visual arts of the Nintendo demon's sibilant cajoling tongue waxes strong, I still perceive with unabashed pride the writhing masses expectantly awaiting my words of wisdom. And these words condensed into a singularity of truth spell: Pokémon.

Oh vile and treacherous creature of lustful desire. With thine Pikachu and depravity of pokéballism. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, VILE CREATURE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???

TL;DR, the 3DS is AMAZING and ADDICTIVE AS FUCK. You should get one. Also, be my friend.

Maybe I Like English Better, So What?

Localization is one of my pet peeves, and Google is beginning to piss me off with its stubborn Arabic language switching and forcing users to use localized versions of their services. STOP IT. Maybe I don't want to swim in the same pool as all the mouth breathers I'm forced to live with here, maybe I want to broaden my intellect, instead of enclose it within the tight confines of my closed-minded local community. Also, I suck at Arabic, stop reminding me how shitty I am at reading and understanding it. My first language is English.

Also, stop insisting that I should use the .kw suffix for all of my internet browsing needs. I DON'T WANT TO BE PIGEONHOLED BY ASSHOLES I DON'T KNOW AND COULD GIVE A SHIT ABOUT. So, kindly get the fuck out of my browser's cookies, and do something worthwhile, like changing how onerous the Google+ setup process feels, or stopping YouTube from trying to plaster my real name all over the Interverse.

Thank you.

Indiscriminate Frottage

I am the biggest slut of the gaming world.

First a resub to Universe of Crackcraft, then some extravagant expenditures on Sim things, followed by a brief foray into the world of buxom Korean near-naked ladies, chased by a mostly free (if you don't count the impulsive buyer in me) Cryptic creation that has taken the D&D crowd by storm. And all of this within the space of five months. There may have been a brief rendezvous with a tall dark and Skyrim before all other conquests. I don't remember anymore if there has or has not been.

I am a harlot. There's just no excuse.

Tuning in from The Void

Been a while since I put something worthwhile up here, probably because I have very little to rage about and I usually do most of my best writing when influenced by near-hysterical emotions, positive or otherwise.

There is a variety of news to report to the three of you reading my blog (this is after filtering out family watchers), assuming of course this is entertaining enough, if not just skip to the end where I mention free beer.

Continuity Mish-Mash

So I'm reading scanlations of Guyver, and I must have come across at least 5 different ways Dr. Balcus's name has been spelled. Or is it Valcus? Could it possibly be Barcas?

What about Commander Gyuot. Or no wait, Gyro. Maybe it's Guyot?

And let's not get into the zoanoids themselves, I'm still confused about who's who.

Why don't scanlation groups agree on one version of a names list and just stick to that across all projects and groups? Let's not deviate from the plan, guys, or you'll have fans like myself going: "Who the fuck is this dickhead again?"

You are censored

For putting the word porn in your blog rant title.

So if I'm complaining about how disgusting and degrading porn is, my entry would still be censored, because the word is in the headline.

Notice there are absolutely no naked people in this entire blog, apart from almost-naked man in the header, but almost-naked is not naked-naked.

It's finally official

We've been laid off.

At least I now know that my safety net is officially removed on the 28th of February. Time to go job hunting. Yay.

Money well-spent?

What does that even MEAN?

Well let me tell you, to me it means a plethora of games I probably will never be able to finish, as well as great cuisine and man on man porn, any money I spend on these is well-spent. To another person it could mean something entirely different.

Now I get it when people say my government could have invested the money used for the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD BREAKING FIREWORKS SHOW to better the country, but let me put the cause and effect of the show in a few simple terms to show why I think they did the right thing.

1) Kuwait was a pioneer in the region by signing its constitution fifty years ago.
2) The fireworks display made thousands of people happy and brought them together for a joyous occasion.
3) People felt proud of their country for a change, a rarity considering all the political turmoil lately.
4) No right-leaning religious organization could stop the festivities.

To me, that's worth the 4 million KD spent on a few fireworks.
