Is it a good idea to microwave this?

Folks, Lets face it. Destruction is way-fucking-awesome. As a species, we really loves us the hell out of some destruction and carnage... Especially when we're directly involved in it. Sure.. hurricanes, tornadoes, massive floods, wild fires and all other "acts of god" are cool enough on their own accord, but nothing quite compares to a good ol' fashioned man made disaster. Witness how people slow down to gawk at a car accident... They aren't slowing to ensure the safety of rescue workers, they're slowing to hopefully catch a glimpse of some other guy bent in a way that humans aren't designed to bend! Sure it may be sick and primitive, but it's true. We're a hostile and destructive race, and we're real good at it too!



To illustrate my point, there was a 1951 movie entitled The Day The Earth Stood Still about Klaatu, a man from outer space who lands his flying saucer on earth with the intent of helping humanity. The minute he steps out of his spaceship and declares that he comes in peace, we shoot him! Long story short, he recovers and attempts to get back to business.. but we plug him again, at which point he basically says "fuck yall, i've had enough of this shithole planet". It's actually a pretty good movie. Watch it if you get the chance.

Anyway, far be it from me to try to change the destructive will of humanity so therefore I present you with: Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This? If you love to watch things being destroyed (remember willitblend?) you'll love this. I'll leave you with a preview:

So this is old news by now, but I felt it would be appropriate to give tribute to one of the greatest comedians who ever lived.

Carlin was a true genius when it came to comedy and observations about the world in general. It's quite possible that without his influence there would be no Craptank at all.

There's shit-tons of his material on youtube in case you're interested, but i'll leave you with a clip from one of his last shows, most ironically, doing a bit about death.

How the Hell Did I Get Sucked Back Into This....

I never thought I would play another RTS until Starcraft 2 came out, but here I am, playing Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, and two of its expansions. The game is actually pretty good, except for the mission cutscenes, which are animated rather mediocre.

The picture above is what I got, the Platinum Edition set, which contains the aforementioned game and two expansions all on one disc, and it only cost me 30 bucks. There is another expansion out that I don't have, but at 40 bucks, I think I'll wait on that one until it drops to 20.

The game has a lot of different races and tech to play with. It's very complicated because of all of the options you have. At least resources are as simple as Starcraft, as you only have two. Your main resource (Requisition) is obtained by taking control of checkpoints around the map and holding them. The other resource (Energy) is easily obtained by building generators.

So yeah, I got conned back into the RTS genre with this game. I just thought I would mention it in case anyone else might be interested.

More fatherly advice

A quick nugget before bed...

When you dream, your head is in the clouds. Of course clouds are at a very high altitude, and the air is a lot thinner. Thinner air makes it harder to breathe, and you'll eventually suffocate. The moral of the story...If you dream, you die. Accept reality and quit bitching about it! God damn hippies!
