Looking For Distractions


In the time that I've spent getting up early to do things for people that I don't want to do, I've spend a lot of time playing WWE Supercard, which I reviewed when it launched.  Even though you can spend a lot of time playing this game, I get the sense that I am quickly coming up on the endgame of this mobile title.  There isn't a big end all mega-boss to conquer in this game, but there is a limit to what you can do with the cards that are included in the game and I feel that I'm quickly approaching that limit.  When that happens I will need something else to play.


And there is my distraction.  No, not the game, I'm going to watch this Kate Upton ad on a loop multiple times.

Online Education You Can Use!


We've all heard about online education.  Some of us may be doing it right now.  Well, not now now, you're reading this blog post right now, and if you're supposed to be learning something right now, GET TO IT!


There are many different ways and venues by which you can engage in online education.  One of the primary ways online education is delivered is by YouTube.  There are a great many lectures, step-by-step, and how to videos of how to do a great many things on YouTube.


You can even learn how to pick locks online.  Why would you need this skill?  In most instances, not for anything you can admit to wanting to be able to do because that might constitute conspiracy to commit a crime.


There are a great many things you can learn to do online.  Join in on the fun!  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going over to my neighbor's house.

Kindergarten Mode


Earlier this week it was reported that a bug inside EA Sports's FIFA 15 made it so that all of the players on the screen, including the goalies and referees, would congregate around the center of the field in one large cluster.  The internet got a huge laugh from the video that was posted of the bug, which is embedded above.  As it turns out there is a legitimate reason for this bug to exist.


When the latest edition of EA Sports's NHL 15 was released, a lot of people criticized the game for the reduced amount of game modes in it, as compared to last year's model.  Consumers especially criticized the game for it not including or reducing such modes as GM Mode, Online Team Play, and the Winter Classic.  As it turns out NHL 15 is not the only sports title recently released that had a number of game modes removed from it.  As revealed on Redditt, deep inside the code for FIFA 15 are references to something called "Kindergarten Mode".


As anybody who has seen very young children attempt to play soccer knows, most of the games involving young children playing soccer quickly devolves into a herd of kids kicking the ball wildly, running into eachother, and then beginning to cry.  Watching young children attempt to play soccer has none of the subtle graces and techniques that are seen in professional soccer, but does feature people running into eachother.  This element of soccer that is rarely seen in professional soccer may be what motivated programmers to create "Kindergarten Mode" in FIFA 15.  We all know that guy who watches NASCAR for the car crashed.  Why not bring that lurid excitement to soccer?


Oh, right, because kids getting hurt isn't funny.  It really isn't funny.  Really.

Student Corgi Horror Film


One of the things that I like to watch is student films.  It's interesting to see creative minds figuring out what they want to do with an artform and how to do it.  Usually these film are riddled with faults, but sometimes you can find a student film that is perfect save for one slight error.  For example, the film embedded below would make for a great low budget horror film, if only they had picked different music.  I applaud their efforts though.  This is a great student film.

It's not a good sign when the parody is more tolerable than the original......


...for the person who did the original.

Things That I Must Buy

There are some things that you find out about and instantly think "I'm going to buy this!"

Fleshlight Finally Made An iPad Case That You Can Have Sex With


Despite what you may think, this product is not one of those things that I have to go out and get.  This just strikes me as an attachment that allows you to use other attachments that cost more money and have to be replaced on a regular basis, resulting in you spending more money on products for this company.  Things like that don't appeal to me at all.


This, on the other hand, is one of those things I have to go out and buy.  How can I resist seeing Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, Whitney Cummings, and Hannibal Buress in a venue that is right up the street from me?  There's just one problem.


Both of these events take place on September 6th.  Since both take place at the same time, I have to choose one or the other.  Or..........


Because there's an 11 AM performance, I can choose both!  September 6th is going to be a good day.

My Subconscious Really Likes Woman's Field Hockey



This video, posted on YouTube and on The Huffington Post, brings up some interesting questions to me.  Namely, there's a women's field hockey world league?  And this is on television?  WHERE?!?  How do I watch this and how do I watch a lot of this?  Please, someone tell me, I urgently want to watch high caliber women's athletics because I legitimately enjoy watching high caliber women's athletics and not because I find athletic women highly attractive.


Why am I allowing my subconscious to blog for me?
