On the future
so i’m sitting here doing overtime and waiting for a test to run and i notice a blog/reblog one-two (by Michele and Danielle, respectively) of exit music (for a film), which i haven’t heard in ages so i click and i listen and i realise suddenly that a) i don’t know where my copy of ok computer is and b) it seems i’ve never ripped it so i don’t have a digital copy but now i really have to listen to paranoid android, like, right fucking now so i ponder that for a minute and then i remember i have spotify so i load it up and type “ok computer” and hurrah they have it so I listen to airbag and then i am jarred from work by a really fucking obnoxious advert for grand theft auto: episodes from liberty city and i know that’s how spotify make money because i don’t pay for it so that’s cool but that’s when i realised i live in the future where i am too lazy to find a cd so i stream music i have paid for over the web with adverts instead but i still don’t have a fucking jetpack the end

Before the release of this years Biggest New Game Ever (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2), the dev firm (Infinity Ward) announced the PC version would not have dedicated server support. This caused some consternation amongst the PC gaming faithful, who don’t like it being pointed out that the entire concept of gaming on a PC is dying by degrees. It was amusingly spoofed by Penny Arcade.
This lead to some gamer forming a Steam group entitled BOYCOTT MODERN WARFARE 2 (We Want Dedicated Servers) which, like a Facebook group, you could sign up to if you supported the cause.
As you can see from the screenshot of the members of this group, showing what game they were playing at the instant the screenshot was taken, like all Internet petitions, this was a roaring success.

myrm:
It’s mojito o’clock!
Tip: Replace the sugar with Sugar Cane Syrup and you don’t really have to crush the mint leaves. Plus it tastes sweeter.
Also, that’s a lot of effin mojitos.
What is that? A 750ml bottle? That’s like 2 or 3, tops.
No. It’s a litre. So, four.

On the sticky subject of social class
- MaliA: Although, I'd say that the forum members I met in London are all middle class.
- MaliA: Except for PenLlawen, who is obviously dual classing a hobbit and a foghorn.
