Just because everyone likes it...

... Doesn't mean it isn't total shit. Or over-hyped to an embarrassing degree. This is especially true if, say, someone that is your friend is telling you that something you made is "AWESOME!" They don't truly mean that, by standards that apply to the rest of the world, what you have done is awesome. They mean "considering you are a person I know and I never knew you to (a) blog, (b) be creative, (c) do whatever, what you have just done is pretty awesome."

Thus, when one is undertaking something for general consumption, anonymity is the key. Otherwise, people that LIKE YOU ALREADY will tell you they love it and people that don't know you will tell you your face is stupid. Therefore, when it comes to stuff you create, your friend's opinions don't count. Unless they are being honest with you. Just hitting you with platitudes should be your first clue that they are just humouring you. Fucking moron.

Real friends will tell you if you are being a fucking moron.

ROCKTOBER

Brutal Legend (umlats not included) came out this week and I am all jealous that I can't get it. The demo makes it look like a wicked fun hilarious version of God of War. Mr. Serious Kratos is replaced by Eddie voiced by the hilarious Jack Black. In the demo there is a part where you are driving a car around this giant worm-thing. When the worm-thing hits your car and you go flying through the air you hear JB yelling "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck." It's funny cause that's exactly what I was thinking of yelling at that point. Later you drop a gate on the "head" of the worm-thing and Eddie slides in yelling "Decapitatiooooon" in his metalist voice. AWESOME.


Other stuff is out too, like Demon's Souls. That game is supposed to be punishingly difficult, which is cool, cause I am sick of just having my hand held through games. But what do you want from a guy that has been playing Little Big Planet for the past little while. I need difficulty, and DEATH!

Anyway, Olympics are in Vancouver and it's all over the TV, the internet, books, the newspaper, and yo mama.. Victoria must, yet again, be telling all their friends "But I'm the capital of the province, why does Vancouver get all the action?" The answer is because no one likes Victoria. Moving on, there is nothing interesting about the Olympics. I mean, I guess it's cool cause like, countries win medals and stuff, but Winter Olympics especially are just another hockey tournament for me. I don't really care if Canada gets a bronze in Woman's cross-country skiing. Do you? Does anybody other than the hardest core cross-country ski fans? Some of these sports aren't even interesting, like figure skating. Isn't bowling in the summer Olympics? BOOOOORING. There are Olympics people, however, they are JUST SO INTO THE OLYMPICS. Mainly because (a) they are into one of the sports and are just like "Shit, bobsledding or swimming is on TV only once every four years!" or (b) They just love sports and/or hype. These are the people that are like "Man, I was watching the darts championships the other day, and Nord Jokkussen is awesome!"

Dummies.
