Maniacal Machinations 10/30/07

I've noticed something. I have this weird habit where I occasionally type sentences, stop mid-sentence, change my mind on how to word the sentence, and then forget to delete the old sentence.

Thus, I end up with I have to deal with stupid-looking sentences like I make one fugly run-on sentence like this.

Scammers

It is late atm, so spelling errors will probably be here till tomorrow. I'm pissed of because yet again (only twice this has happened.) I fell pray to a scam that is worse the the poor Nigerian king. This is the crap computer programs that claim to speed your comp up. I fell prey to Uniblue. The reason I fell prey to this as I normally don't buy one of these programs without researching em is because these lying shit bags state on their site that they gamed high scores from CNET and other reputable sites. Upon later research i found that these are not the real scores, and in fact most of the users said all the programs were crap. The Uniblue page also states that it is Microsoft certified and I bet you that it isn't. Any who I will make this post short as I am tired, and have work early on in the morning. The point of this mini rant is that these shit bags who scam people like this should be drowned in their own fecal matter. this is pure shit. At least with the e-mail scams, you have to have been through a lobotomy to fall from them. These new ones look legit, and are programmed to make it look like its scanning your comp for problems. Remember check out any and all programs before you pay for em. even mIRC.

Let's Loathe with Leviathan! v. 2.7

I hate not having my own laptop. Right now, my GPA is like a 3.0. That ain't good at my school. It basically means I'm a fucking retard who probably spends my days in In-School Suspension (which really isn't that bad, you just get all your work done in the first two hours, then read or take a nap or something). Point is, until my grades go up, no laptop. I already had my access restricted to the weekends. This fucking sucks balls. Oh wonderful! my internet connection just failed. I hate this computer. It's right over the garage, and as far away from the router as possible. The garage interferes with the signal or something.

I WANT MY LAPTOP THAT I CAN TRAVERSE ACCESS POINTS WITH! RAWR!

Anyway...

My laptop has my wonderful photoshop on it. I have hundreds of pictures I need to scan and get other people to shoop to death. I don't have time to do line art, people. 6,000 straightlines for a chibi? Jesus! Tibit-sama (I'll introduce him later) is nothing but curved lines, he alone must be more than that. Then my two epic pictures... UGH! Who wants a job doing my line art? Anyone? Please?

My laptop has all my music on it. Not everyone can afford a fucking ipod. And I just sent my cell phone through the wash, so all my ipod money's going to a new one. Thanks, Apple. You suck balls.

My laptop has my irc with all my channels on auto join. Not even going to touch that one.

My laptop has my animu. I can't download it without my laptop. Not really. It takes hours if not days to download an episode, and I'm NOT, i repeat, ABSOLUTELY NOT going to use youtube or veoh. They are the devil's advocates for people who don't know how to cap their upload rate.
CAP YOUR UPLOAD RATE AT 10 kb/s AND YOUR SHITTY UNSECURED NETGEAR ROUTER WILL BE JUST FINE.

My laptop has my Yaoi. Nuff said.

My laptop has my LIFE. I need it! I was in withdrawal until a little while ago. If i had someone who was willing to supply me with anime on burnt cds, that'd be awesome. But I don't, cuz my friends all suck. Except Riyoko. She bites.

Huh... I said i'd post something this week.... but i can't remember what it was, since OS posts like every day, and Nova left this fucking pamphlet of a post. So now I gotta go find it. This is Leviathan, signing off.

EDIT: What you are seeing is apparently my second existance. Huh. I'll choose one username and stick to it. And looking back, I was in a pretty shitty mood...

Maniacal Machinations 10/25/07

Lie - v - To enhance the truth

Consumer service

Yo, so I'm Nova.

I'll be writing crazy shit here about stuff that happens in my daily life. which will usually be work related since I spend most of my time there.

So to reak it down for you people. I work in a toy store (yes you can laugh later) known for it's excellent consumer service I'm in charge on service after purchase and the games departement. Especially because of that first bit I encounter some weird shit.

So last summer we sold pools. Big pools to be exact. Now a few weeks ago a client called me, saying there was a water issue with her pool. Now standard procedure says we take back every purchased article, in order to get it repaired. As I told the client this she was outraged, yelling at me, calling me scum of the earth and shit like that.

Needless to say I transferred the call to my boss. I got better things to do then listening to french speaking little bitches who live on flemish land, refuse to speak dutch and complain about shit.

A week later the client in question arrived with the huge ass pool. So my and the pool guy open that fucker to give our first check on the thing, before sending it to central dispatching. As we both thought, she fucking cut her liner and pool herself. The cuts were too clean and too small, not to mention too frequent to be a production error.

We both mention this too the client who again, was outraged and made a scene inside the damn store. So against policy, we sent it out for repairs to central dispatching.

A week later, we get thesame note from central "This pool has been destroyed by the consumer, therefor warranty is void." When reading this I called dispatching telling thel THEY could share the news (and be shouted at for a change).

About 15 minutes later, central calls me. "Yeah, we're giving the client a full refund." WHAT... A FULL FUCKING REFUND. you gotta be kidding me. We're actually gonna PAY that fucking bitch for screwing up her own (expensive) pool.

too my astounishment, two weeks later, she showed up... with a letter from central, stating we are giving this woman a full fucking refund.

So while I'm counting the money for the third time to hand it to her, she starts yapping to me about her damn water bill. Claiming she had to pay over € 500 in order to fill her pool.

€ 500 O_O WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU FILL IT WITH? CHAMPAGNE?

Not pleased with my remark (I'm known to piss off clients) she calls central again. And afterward I get a damn call. "Yeah we're giving this woman a free pool next summer as refund for the water bill"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WHAT IS THIS? A TOY STORE, OR THE FUCKING SALVATION ARMY?

This is the largest piece off bullcrap about working in the store, the client is ALWAYS right (even though they are dumbasses) and they ALWAYS get their money back. and if they get angry enough, get a little extra in return. This news has now spread through forums and such. Basically my chain of stores is known as the panzies of consumer service. But in the year I'm working there, I've made a reputation for myself. and I quote from a forum:

"This guy isn't a panzy like most, he knows his stuff. He's not the manager, but he could very well be one. He says shit the way he wants it to. and he'll give you the service you require, even if that means repairs with payment."

This pleases me. I'm harsh, but I'm fair. The client is not King when I'm around. The client is a fucking drug addict, and I'm his supplier. You don't like how I work? Go to a different store with employees who have NO product knowledge whatsoever.

I have no problem with being friendly to clients... but it's the abusers like this that piss me off and bring up the worst in me.

Maniacal Machinations 10/24/07

I was considering dressing up as an Anonymous for Halloween . . . but then I realized how much of a tool i'd look like if I ran around the streets in a pinstripe suit and a green ski mask while holding a trick-or-treat bag and screaming "We are legion! We do not forgive! We do not forget!"

Movies Suck - Halloween

Hello Hello this is Malachi here with my first of weekly movie reviews. This one is on the recent horror movie Halloween.

Halloween, a wonderfully gory tale of murder, mayhem and death all mixed together in a giant pot stirred by master of the wicked, Rob Zombie. A gripping tale about a boy, his mask, and their journey into the world of mindless killing. We are first introduced to the young Michel Myers, a boy that has been brought up into a world where he finds no love from anyone but his mother. Deeply disturbed, Michel turns to violence, against anything that he feels the need to hurt. The film presents a deep look at the childhood of a future serial killer, and those around him that might have been the cause.
The viewer will see the life of a killer and how he affects the people around him both directly and indirectly. The true nature of people is exposed when they think that no one is around to witness their cruelty. The film is almost a shot for shot remake of the first film, with the same characters and the same feeling of eeriness. For fans of the horror genre it is a perfect addition to the series, and it keeps the older fans in check. It follows Michel from childhood until adulthood; he spends most of his life in the same cell of a mental asylum, where he is constantly visited by the esteemed Dr. Samuel Loomis, a child psychologist. Who tries to salvage what is left of Michel’s life by talking to him and trying to befriend him.
The film was very well done it had some very experienced people working behind it. The director, Rob Zombie, know what he is doing with two other horror movies under his belt. So the story was very well played out, everything happened in order, it made sense and it was true to the overall story that came before it. The scenes were all well shot, and the locations very nice. The movie looked like it took place during Halloween, also most of the scenes were in the dark, but the level of visibility was reasonable. Being a Rob Zombie film, there was bound to be plenty of blood and guts. The limbs and organs all looked very realistic, as did the gallons of blood.
The music in the film was a combination of the original scary theme, and other scores written for the movie, and some music from various bands and artists. It was strategically placed throughout the movie to help aid the suspenseful feeling in the audience.
A few things that I did not like about the movie are the same things that I don’t like about any horror movie, the complete lack of hope. In most horror movies there is some prevailing good that eventually defeats the evil and saves the day, or at least escapes from being killed. There was really no problem with the way that the film was made, the only real problem I had was the way the teenage girls acted so vulgar and annoying. Other than that I found nothing wrong with the way the movie was made.
The most important character in the movie was Michel as a boy, he was played by a brand new Canadian actor Daeg Faerch. He did an amazing job playing a demented little kid in this movie; I had a hard time believing he could be normal in real life after seeing this movie. Rob Zombie used a lot of the same actors that have been in his other movies, such as his wife, Danny Trejo, and William Forsyth. The part of Dr. Samuel Loomis is played by the esteemed Malcolm McDowell, he does a perfect job as the well read and sophisticated psychologist.
The only characters that I had any kind of problem with were the teenage girls. For lack of a better word, they are all whores in the movie, which is probably just an excuse for the audience to think it’s okay for them to die. Most audience members will feel very angry at the people that caused Michel pain, and even angrier at him when he does it back. He is a very easy character to hate and so are most of the people in the movie. The somewhat hero of the movie is Dr. Loomis, he tries to help Michel and is very worried about his well being, so he is easy to like and relate to.
In general this was a good movie, and a very good horror movie. Acting, directing, story, writing, music, and anything else you could think of was all good. It was no masterpiece, but it is so much better than anything else that comes out these days. I give it 41/2 of 5 stars.

Thanks. See ya next week.

An Intellegent Look at Fanboys

So as I sit here drinking 7up and Jim Beam, I keep thinking about a discussion I was engaged in the other day on mIRC. The discussion was about the competency of fan boys. And as I was trying to think of a topic to tackle on my first blog entry here, I thought I might point out the stupidity of all fan boys. Yes thats right, I feel all fan boys are stupid. Well first I will break them down. You have silly people in forums arguing about there system as if it was the bloody crusades. They argue over their system as if it was the shield and crest of their own name. It is ok to like a system, but you clown shoes have petty arguments to prove That one system is the best at anything. Thats why there is free market. A chance to have competition. And as I am not going to go over every nit picky topic i will point out at least one pro and con for EVERY system.

PS3:
pro- Amazing graphics on this system. Why? Because unlike the 360, the PS3 is utilizing the hardware and software it has put into its system to a high potential. I am no engineer, but if the PS3 can push its system even further in fluidity I will be astounded. If you see Heavenly sword you will see what I am saying. The rub here is it looks astonishing on a standard def. I know they "claim" that the 360 isn't even using its full potential, but why bother holding out on the consumer.

con- The price. Why is it so expensive you ask? It has a built in Blu-Ray player. And the funny thing is, the majority of people who own a PS3 don't even know they have a Blu-Ray player, and yet are still counted as Blu-Ray player sales. Microsoft did me a huge favor by separating the HD player. I don't care for a player that has very little number of titles, and I don't want to pay it. Also do the consumer a favor and release games.

XBOX 360

Pro- They hit the ground running with the release and haven't stopped running. With he most titles out of all the systems so far it's doing a good job. Also the Xbox Live is great, and not just for games and demos. TV shows can be bought and downloaded as well as movies, (in HD mind you.) Plus in my eyes the main menu for the system is the most cheery. (sorry wii, your too blue.)

Con- Too many glitchy games. Half the games you buy have massive glitches in them. two worlds, overlord, the darkness just to name a few. I'm sorry I realize your trying to top the market in your system, but do the consumer a favor and test them some more, cause a lot of these glitches are very apparent and you guys are crap on releasing patches on time.

Wii
Pro- Its teaching many lazy fat nerds to get off their ass and exercise.

Con- When are you going to come out with a new stock character. I mean honestly, Mario is fun and all, but we been staring at that goofy mustache for what, almost 20 years now. Give the masses some variety. And I know that there are other games by Nintendo, I mean games that people rave about. Why can;t you make a bad ass zombie game that is wii specific. That would be tight. Also I do kinda agree with some on the effect on children who will play manhunt 2 on this system, as there are stupid parents who don't look at the games ratings or look to see what they are buying for there children. (Jack Thompson PWNED!)


I realize my wii con is a little weak, but for me the monotony of a system is a huge downer for me. Though Metroid is still fun. But I digress. My point is, is that there are things wrong with every system, and there are things that are right. But its better having multiple systems on the market as opposed to one insanely jacked up system with a huge price tacked on. But for the most part, fan boys enjoy your games and systems, but stop telling others they are wrong in their choices. These are what intelligent arguments look like. There are valid points constructed here, not "This game sucks even though, I Haven't played it, but it is not on my console which obviously means I am right and you are wrong."


LOVE,
Crazyhaze
