Delta

So...

First official trailer to the new Dragonball movie...

I dunno how to feel about it. Part of me wants to watch it. But....There are so many horribly obvious problems with it. And not...like...Fucking idiots complaining about how Piccolo isn't a bad guy, 'cause he was originally. Shit, he was at the beginning of DBZ.

They've obviously changed Goku's character from the silly fun-loving little guy to something completely different, where he's "cool", or at least trying to be. And I didn't see a tail. Where the fuck is his tail?! He's a goddamn Saiyan, he needs to have a goddamn tail.

They decided to give Bulma more of an action role...Which I can kind of understand, but she was too much of a pussy to really do anything, and I've never seen her actually use a weapon.

Then Master Roshi....His character had DAMN WELL BETTER be one hell of a pervert, or the entire movie is ruined. I mean, this is the guy that for training sent Goku and Krillin out to get him a woman. I'm sad the little guy isn't in this movie, but for the original series I don't think he was around until after the first adventure.

The first adventure in which Goku met up with Bulma, then Yamcha and Puar, then Oolong. The adventure culminating with the evil emperor summoning the dragon, and Oolong saving the day by running up and making a wish first. Instead of the emperor's wish to rule the world, he wished for some new underpants. Then Goku changed into a giant monkey and wrecked shit. Then he lost his tail. Then training with Roshi.

This movie looks like they're changing all kinds of story-lines...*sigh*

I'll still watch it though.

That's all I have to say. Tonight is New Year's Eve, there may be some sort of party at my place here. If you can find a way here, feel free to come and hang out, if not....well, you're probably not missing much. We have at present only two confirmed guests, a couple others may be coming, and Rick isn't even here.

This post is dedicated to the memory of Lord Jabu Jabu, who passed away the other day. I'm gonna miss the little guy.

Until next time,
Let us bow our heads in silence.

9PM (Till I Come)

Hey bitches.

Yes, the post title is an actual song name. ATB. On my Trance list.

So I think when I go somewhere new, I'm going to get one of those "Hello My Name Is" stickers and write Kataron on it. That could be a good conversation started. 'cept it'd probably be more like.

"The hell kind of name is Kataron?"

"It's...erm...My...Handle?"

Well, never know 'til we try.

So Christmas is done, I guess.

I'm still in Rockwood, probably stay 'til the end of the weekend or something, then head back to my house with my computer in tow.

And I do so very much love taking this computer back to Rockwood. Don't have to worry about any sort of bandwidth limitations. I can download whatever the fuck I want. WOO.

Probably about forty gigs in the space that I've been here, and no plans on stopping until I'm gone. Yeah bitches.

I've got five gigs of trance, and every random discography I've come across. And I mean random. Basshunter (love that Swede), Bob Marley, Cypress Hill, Fatboy Slim, the music from...Lucky Star...If you don't know what that is, you probably won't know how horribly pathetic it is. I can't believe I watched that entire anime. It had no plot. Just...Underage girls...Living their lives. Don't know why I watched it. Anyways, continuing, I've also got Naruto music, Outkast, Radiohead, the entire soundtrack from every season of Scrubs, the soundtrack to Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2 (That flash game I was horribly addicted to for a while. But I kicked it's ASS. Ask Jared. He knows. He witnessed my majesty.), then some Thievery Corporation and of course Tiesto. Gotta have at least some Tiesto on a computer.

And now I'm in movie mode. Mostly just because I want to have some things to watch with the guys when I get back to Kitchener. 'cause setting my computer up in the living room is so easy. Granted, Eric doesn't seem to like coming out of his room to watch stuff, but I can enjoy it with Jared and Rick and Megan. They'll love some of these. I'm thinking of looking for every episode that's aired so far of the second seasons of Chuck and Big Bang Theory. 'cause watching that show with them was awesome.

But so far in movies I've got/am getting...

Hackers ('cause I think the version Jared downloaded is in some other language)
The Usual Suspects ('cause it's awesome.)
Snatch ('cause Megan was surprised that none of the rest of us have seen it.)
28 Days/Weeks Later
A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures (with a title like that, it HAS to be funny.)
Anchorman (for the obvious lols.)
Bangkok Dangerous (Nicholas Cage. Watched it tonight, decent, but predictable.)
Dark Knight (no explanation necessary.)
Blade Runner (never seen it.)
Blades of Glory (Awesome.)
Boondock Saints (Badass.)
Burn After Reading (looked intesting, never got to see it.)
Disturbia (version I downloaded last year was definitely in Spanish.)
Eagle Eye (never got a chance to see it.)
Advent Children (haven't seen it in a while.)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (watched it with James, funny shit.)
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (It was decent. Not as good as the first one, but decent.)
Hellboy/Hellboy 2 (What can I say? I love that big red motherfucker.)
Life After People (documentary that was on a while ago that I never bothered to watch. Heard good things.)
My Name Is Bruce (Bruce Campbell. 'nuff said.)
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (straight to video "sequel" to the Avenger movies. One of them crappy ones where they use the kids of the characters.)
Next ('cause I enjoyed it.)
Pineapple Express (Hilarious fucking movie, can't wait to watch it with Jared.)
Quarantine (will probably suck, but oh well)
Every Rambo movie. Even though I only want the first one. But why the fuck not.
Resident Evil: Degeneration. Mentioned it in the last post.
Run Fat Boy Run (looks funny.)
Shooter (I don't care what anybody said, I enjoyed it.)
Step Brothers (Pretty decent, watched it tonight)
Stranger Than Fiction (always good to have for when I want to watch it.)

AWESOME. What Is Love? just started playing on my trance playlist.

Hell yes. And fuck the rest of the movies, you people don't give a shit about what I'm downloading. But there are nine more, including Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which I watched just now and really enjoyed.

Don't hurt me! No more!

*echoing wailing*

Oh yeah, Christmas. I got...Clothes...Some measuring cups, 'cause I'm not sure if we actually have measuring cups in Kitchener. We do now. The big kind AND the small kind! Fuck yeah.

Uhhh....Was there...Anything else...Oh, a couple more cup-bowls. Which brings the number of cup-bowls that I own up to five. And yet when I get home there will be no clean ones. Because cup bowls are fucking awesome and everyone uses them all the time. Mostly Jared and I though.

And of course I got this fucking badass computer sitting before me upon which I am downloading numerous movies. And no porn! Surprise surprise. Not yet anyways. Figured I should get the stuff people would want to watch with me out of the way first. Watching porn with people can be weird. And entertaining. I have on occasion been known to introduce Jared to my newest favourite porn star (Ellie Fox at present, replacing Tory Lane), and once I saw this video of a chick masturbating that looked like that Alyssa chick I almost dated. Bitch. Had to show Jared.

uhhh....Got sidetracked. What?

I think next on the docket for my downloads are some classic animes that the guys might wanna watch with me sometime. Some Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, I'm thinking of throwing on the series Basilisk, and whatever else tickles my fancy when I go on a download spree. Wheeeeeeeeee.

Anyways, just about three am, and I am bored as shit. Just watched three back to back movies 'cause I didn't want WoW eating my bandwidth, so I think I'm gonna call it a night. Step Brothers, Bangkok Dangerous, and Zack and Miri. Those are the ones I watched tonight. All good, all could ahve been better. Although in both of the last two there were boobies. So...If you like boobies. They have them. Boobies, that is. Yes, I'm just saying this to say boobies because it amuses my tired mind, shut up. Boobies.

Until next time,
Today's word, children, is "automagically". Ten points if you can use it in a sentence without explaining yourself.

Sandstorm

Hey there, children.

It's me, Three Dog---I mean...Kataron.

Yep.

So if you've wondered lately why I haven't been on-line, haven't posted on here, and have ignored every email, PM, or even snail mail (that would be if any of you had sent me any.) that you guys have sent me, it's because FALLOUT 3 IS FUCKING AWESOME.

Honestly.

I got sucked up into that shit like an expensive hooker.

I wanted to give it a try because the classic Fallout games are...Well, just that. Classic. And this new version of it is supposed to be Oblivion with guns.

Oblivion was awesome.

Guns are awesome.

And their love-child, FO3. Also awesome. Insanely awesome. Holy fuck it was good.

When I play World of Warcraft, I can do other stuff at the same time. I can talk on MSN. I can check email. I can listen to music. Pretty much everything I normally do on the computer, I can do while playing WoW. Except maybe porn. I don't know. I've never tried it.

Shut up. I'm not lying. I've never tried it. Although Eric once sent me a link to a forum post about how Paladins are perfect for in-game wanks. Because they can bubble, not take damage for a while, then alt tab for a good someodd amount of seconds for porn.

But frankly that doesn't seem like it would work. I mean, in theory, it's comical, but in practice, you'd still take damage, and your bubble only lasts so long.

I mean, granted, they do wear plate armour, which is the biggest armour buff they can get. I guess if they were prot specced they could get away with it. Perhaps. But even then you'd have to perform at least a fraction of it while playing the game itself. And jerkin' it while playing a video game is just fucking weird.

I mean, I can't do it. I can't even really have the tv on in the background. I once tried to observe some erotica on the computer whilst Iron Chef was playing in the background, and it just completely ruined it.

...Why the hell am I talking about masturbation? Ah well. I don't even remember how this got started.

Anyways, Fallout 3 is amazing. Which is why I've been ignoring the world at large, so forgive me if I've been blatantly ignoring you. Or don't. Whatever's good for you.

But you'll always be my baby. I'm always thinking of you baby. Yeah, yeah.

...Sorry. Listening to trance. Those are the lyrics.

Touch me in the morning! And last thing at night. Keep my body warm, baby. You know it feels right.

And then I stop paying attention and just start enjoying the heavy trance bass beats...Fuck yeah, man. Trance. Love that shit.

So much so that I just torrented a five gig music file with like a thousand trance songs. Fucking intense. Listen to this bitch on shuffle and just go about the rest of my day. Which mostly takes place at the computer, so it's fine.

Uhhh...What else...

I'm kicking ass in WoW. Well, I'm doing okay. I had to respec from Beast Mastery to Marskmanship because the head hunter (heh...head hunter...) in the guild told me to, and it's really weird. I miss my two-headed lava dog. I have a wolf now...but he doesn't have a cool name. He doesn't have a name at all.

I started with my bear. Whom I named Bear. Makes sense.

Then my Warp Stalker, my teleporting lizard. Moist. Because Dr. Horrible makes my world go round, baby.

Then my Core Hound. Corey. Eric's suggestion, because we're marginally obsessed with Boy Meets World. Well, me marginally, him not so marginally.

Now I've got a wolf, and no idea what to name him. I also have an owl! He's made of jade. Pretty sweet. I need names for both of them, but I need to come up with good ones first.

We managed to clear Naxxaramas. Which is the big 25-man raid for the new expansion pack. There's that and Malygos, which we haven't done yet. But when we do that, we'll have cleared all of the new content so far. Yay us.

Lately I've been levelling my Druid. Like a fucking FIEND. A few days ago it was level 34, now it's 49. I need to get her up to 52, then she'll be on par with Dave's character, and I can move on with my life and have a character to hang out with Dave's when he wants to run dungeons and stuff. I might even respec so I can heal. But then I'll be a tree. Fucking trees.

The only tree I will ever respect is Harold. And he was the best tree.

I miss you, Harold.

...God, I think I'm the only one that understands my humour. *single tear*

Anyways...What else...

Oh. New Resident Evil movie. Degeneration. CGI. It sucks. But watch it, it was funny. It stars Leon S. Kennedy of RE4, and brings back Claire Redfield from...shit, one of the earlier games. All it was missing was a customary appearance from the delightful Ada Wong.

Blah blah blah, zombies, blah blah blah, Leon, blah blah blah, predictable story line, blah blah blah, more zombies, blah blah, special zombie, blah, needless romantic interaction, blah blah, roll credits.

I'm still pissed at Leon for not mounting the president's daughter in RE4. At the end of the game she was TOTALLY coming on to him. Sexual innuendo! And then Leon bitched out and said he shouldn't. And then ten minutes later he's flirting with Hunnigan, who shoots HIM down.

Fuck you, Leon! Ashley was a sure thing! You coulda hit that! You make me so angry. Were I Leon, I would have hit that before even getting home. And they had to ride home on a Sea-Doo or whatever the fuck they're called from some tropical island back to the States. I woulda made it work, 'cause that bitch was fine.

God dammit, Leon.

Anyways, yeah. I'ma go play some WoW while listening to techno music until an ungodly hour of the morning, then fall asleep in my uncomfortable bed and miss my mattress back home in Kitchener, then I'm gonna wake up and play more WoW and maybe mix it up with some Age of Mythology.

Also, I am great.

Until next time,
You know who remembers things?! EMOS.

Ideals

So I joined this zombie survival wiki the other week...Scott linked me to it after we played a ridiculous amount of Left 4 Dead. And there's only one topic that I've been throwing my opinion down on.

Because EVERYBODY ELSE is FUCKING RETARDED.

The ideal size of a party in a zombie apocalypse.

See, what you want is a half dozen to a dozen people...People you can trust, people you know there won't be internal strife with. People you know won't go crazy and shoot you in the night to try to collect your life essence.

But there are people in the topic talking about how they'd want a "platoon" of thirty to forty people. Which, frankly, is idiotic, unless you're setting up a small outpost somewhere. But even then, I would want to separate the group into three or four smaller groups, and have them congregate there.

Too many people makes it much harder to move silently. If you travel in a group that large, you will attract unwanted zombie attention, and if even one of your teammates becomes injured, it slows down the entire team, or loses a member. Possibly both.

And worse than that, there were people talking about setting up COLONIES of five hundred to a thousand people! One went so far as to say a group of five hundred that he could trust!

I honestly wanted to backhand the man.

Not only would it be IMPOSSIBLE to trust each and every member of a group that large with your very life and the lives of all of those around you, you would be assured of internal strife. Not everyone would get along perfectly. There would be arguments, fights, unpleasantness.

And unless a colony is unified, it stands no hope of surviving in a zombie infested world.

And realistically, what the FUCK are you going to do with that many people? Honestly. You would need a large plot of land. Too large to be feasible in a defensive ideal, much too large to remain concealed.

It would attract zombies with a certainty. A small colony of a couple of dozen people living in just a few small cabins set up in the woods might remain relatively hidden, from both zombies and looters, but multiply that by five, ten, or more, and you're a beacon signaling your own inevitable demise.

And even if such a colony does manage to survive, you face the issue of looters. People that have survived in small roaming bands. They want your stuff. They're armed, smart, and they've been doing this for a while. Whereas a group of zombies may raise an alarm (which would attract more and more zombies. Retards.), a small band of survivors could eliminate border guards with relative ease, and slip in quietly and undetected.

And in a colony that size, chances are they won't be noticed. Do you know everyone in your town, in your city? Even the people that live close to you? I sure as hell don't. They could pass themselves off as a member of the society until they moved to strike, then rob the group of their precious resources.

Which is another issue entirely. How the FUCK do you intend to feed a group that large? Farms, crops, livestock? All of this takes up more and more room that you have to defend from zombie looters. A few dozen people can live for a while off of a moderately sized garden, a river of fish, and trapped animals in the forest. A group larger would be a black hole of resources, sucking up everything until the village dies of starvation or the members begin to fight each other for what petty foodstuffs they have left.

Take it from me, when the zombies come, don't go with a large group unless you want to die.

Fucking idiots.

Until next time,
Unless the guy telling you to go with the group is a bald black man with a shotgun. If you see one of those in a zombie apocalypse, you do exactly what he says.

Refined Tastes

Hey guys, check it out.

New stuff for Resident Evil 5.

LINKLINKLINK

Enter yer birthday, find the "1" on the wall, near the left, click it, and enter the password "Refinery". It shows a video about the game, starting with a press conference (actual actors, not gameplay footage. Kinda weird.), then it goes into some gameplay. It looks a lot like RE4. That's a good thing.

Just lettin' you bitches know.

Until next time,
Refinery.

Mighty Morphin

I definitely just engaged in an argument over the original power rangers series.

Awesome.

Well, it's Saturday night. I'm in Rockwood for the weekend, got in yesterday in time for youth group, leaving tomorrow afternoon. Which means that, alas, my parents only feed me one meal. Woulda been two if not for youth group.

We're pretty sure youth group's dying anyway. Since none of us are youths anymore.

Oh well.

Then we went out for Wendy's afterwards, hung out and had good times, and eventually went to a 7/11.

I bought a hot dog called a "pizza smokie". I wasn't going to, but then it was decided that to test it would be in the best interest of science.

Turns out...It tastes like a hot-dog sized Hot Rod. Weird.

Yeah.

But then I got really really sick that night. The pizza smokie may be at fault. I will never know.

Then today I got up, did very little all day, and eventually called Rebecca, since I hadn't seen her in weeks. Her parents told me that she was at a premiere for a trailer for the zombie movie that she'd done make-up for, and then they said they were going down soon and that I could come with them.

I have never passed up zombies before, and tonight would be no exception. So I went down there, and then it turned out there were five videos being played, so we couldn't just watch the zombie thing and leave.

The first one was claymation about some guy getting shot and then turning into a water colour ghost, then coming back to find his family dead.

It was seriously fucked up. No plot, the claymation was poorly done, and the blood made me want strawberry jam.

Then the zombie trailer, which I liked, but Rebecca and her friend...Missy, I think. They were pissed. Because most of the shots of the zombies were done by shaky cameras, so you couldn't really see the make-up. They didn't like the sound. There were some absolutely terrible animations of stuff on fire and/or blowing up. And they used really lame transitions between shots. The only zombie they showed where the camera was solid was this little kid, who looked really freaky.

But yeah, they were pretty upset that all their work doing makeup wasn't visible at all in the trailer.

Then there was something about people making a movie about Shakespearean stuff, and it was absolutely hilarious.

Then there was one about some girl...And it made absolutely no sense. It showed a bunch of shots of her wearing different outfits and looking around a house, then it ended. I think it was supposed to have some deep meaning, but it epic goddamn failed.

Then there was something about a guy that kills people...I was interested in it at first, but then it just dragged on and on and on and on and on and on and the room was really ridiculously hot and I stopped caring about the long boring movie, but then they showed some boobs. And I was interested again. Then they killed a bunch of other people, but the blood effects were really bad, and the main character was a whiny little bitch. And then we finally got to leave.

Then Rebecca and I played some Halo. I won one match, and then she killed won one.

And I think we're going to get together to watch a movie or something tomorrow afternoon before I go home. And then I'll be on my way back to Kitchener.

I'm hoping people will be coming by the place in Kitchener again soon...It was fun having Dave and Andrew over last week, but since then, nobody's dropped by. Not even any attractive friends of Megan. *sigh*

I keep telling her to bring attractive friends over, and she never does. Always disappointing.

Umm...What else is there to say...

Yeah, anyways, some guy on this chat site was trying to tell us that the original yellow ranger was black. And we were like HELL NO, bitch was Asian! Because she was. Obviously. Fuck. Do your goddamn research, people!

Original Power Rangers consisted of -

Jason, the Red Ranger. He was white and your basic team leader sort.

Billy, the Blue Ranger. Nerdy, kinda faggy. Also white.

Zach, the Black Ranger. You may be guessing that he was black. That was also his main personality trait. Being black. There was really nothing else.

Kimberly, the Pink Ranger. She was the white chick. Very fuckable. Although I was too young to think in such terms.

Tommy, the Green Ranger/White Ranger. He was the badass of the group, and was also the best one.

And...Fuck...What was the yellow ranger's name...Tanya or something. She was Asian.

LIIIIIIIINK! There was an image here, but it didn't want to show on my blog.

There they are.

Fuck yeah.

Power Rangers.

Fuck yeah.

Anyways...Bored now. Going to find something entertaining to do.

Until next time,
GO GO POWER RANGERS DO DOO DOOOO DOO DOO GO GO POWER RANGERS, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGEEEEEEERS. As you can tell, I was popular as a child.

Hollow Glory

Greetings assorted bitches and internet pedophiles.

Hey.

So I had an interesting few days after I posted that last post.

A girl from Jared's work, Vanessa, came over. I'd talked to her a little on MSN, but didn't really know her. Turns out, she's crazy. Well, the entire gender is fucking insane, but she was a bit more than usual.

We ended up watching...something...what...was it....oh. The Hulk. Then I forget what happened for a while, I ate some pizza, people started going to bed, and we watched some Invader Zim. Fucking love Invader Zim. She hadn't seen The Room With A Moose episode. *snorts derisively*

Then the next day it turned out she barely slept. We watched Back to the Future. Then all went out for Chinese food, and somehow split off into different rival groups.

I forget what they were called, but Megan ran one, and employed Vanessa and Eric, and Rick ran one and employed Jared and I. Except we got cool henchman names.

I am Vincent Locke, henchman. Jared is Westrin Dexter, henchman. Together, we are Awesome.

So that made for an interesting meal.

Then we went home, and she fell asleep on our couch. While I was watching tv. So I kept watching tv. The plan was to meet her boyfriend at a club, but she was unconscious. Eventually I went to sleep, then the next day we watched the second and third Back to the Future movies, her boyfriend came over, and she cooked us dinner. Then I began to ignore her because Dave and Andrew randomly came by! I hadn't seen those fuckers in a while. We played some Halo 3, Andrew and I got our asses handed to us (oh yeah. We suck. Still fun though). Then we all broke off to play WoW.

And when I say broke off, I mean Andrew and Dave brought laptops (one Andrew's, one Rick's) into my room, and we ran Dave through stuff. Also Rick was there in WoW for a couple dungeons. Then Andrew started working on levelling and stuff, and Rick was called away to heal dungeons, so I helped Dave do a bunch of quests.

And it was probably the most fun I've had for a while playing WoW.

Ah, the Hordies he pissed off...We were fighting these pirates, see...And there was a group of Horde also doing the quests. Dave didn't like that, despite the fact that there were more than enough pirates to go around. So Dave attacked, started getting his ass kicked, then I came in and slaughtered them all. This went on for a while, until they called in a level 78 Pally friend. Who I almost killed! But he got me. Fuckin' pallies.

Anyways, then they left, and...I can't remember much of my weekend after that. I think it was mostly just video games and tv, I don't think there was much WoW.

Then yesterday I helped Jared with something, played some Left 4 Dead with Scott and Rick, and then conquered Russia.

Those fuckers will deny it now, but yesterday they were all "Oh noes Kataron, don't crush us with your MIGHTY GAUNTLETED HAND" and then I was like "pfah, Russian bitches", and I backhanded them. But then as soon as I left to go to the bathroom, they locked me in. I had to use my teleportation device to get back here.

I'll deal with Russia tomorrow.

ALSO.

Left 4 Dead last night was aweeeeeeeeesome.

There was much comicalness.

Like when I died because we stood our ground to fight a horde of zombies, and then the safe room was RIGHT FUCKING THERE. I could have limped over to it and sealed myself in, I woulda been fine.

There was also what we believed to be our absolute defense. We held up in a corner before triggering a zombie horde, setting gas tanks in strategic locations to burn any oncoming zombies. It was fucking PERFECT. Until they broke through the wall behind us.

Fucking zombies.

Then in the lobby afterwards, as we were discussing zombie bukkake (start using that term in casual conversations about zombie hordes. That shit is hilarious), Scott came up with an idea of how to deal with blood infected zombies.

Since they are still technically human, rather than the risen from the dead zombies that have no semblance of humanity, Scott suggested gaseous marijuana.

I shot that idea down with one simple question.

"Dude...What if they get the munchies?"

Also, we decided to replace the female of the group with a Witch. A shrieking, deadly, waving her hands in the air Witch. We would call her Sally, and our shenanigans would be legendary.

But anyways, that's enough for you peons for now. I've got shit to blow up.

Until next time,
And that's when I kicked the postal service RIGHT IN THE NUTS.
