Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Hack

Since the creator iJustHelp has decided to force ppl to sign up for baby food and other ridiculous offers to download a simple level hack, I have chosen to do my best to distribute it to as many people as possible in an attempt at telling this retard to shove it.

You may download the hack *bullshit free* from my filefront account - http://www.filefront.com/15294363/Version-4-MW2-Hack-Pack-by-iJustHelp-1.0.174.exe/

Happy 10 weapon slot customizing.

Everyone wants a piece of the Obama pie

“Yes you can! ..own a piece of history.” The phrase rang out of the television like a blast from the barrel of Cheney’s shotgun. Splattering images of Obama all over the screen accompanied by lulling patriotic music, the commercial was selling a glamorized dinner plate with Obama’s picture, the “Victory Plate.” It’s clear somebody is trying to make a dime or two off the newly elected president. The only problem is that “somebody” is beginning to turn into everybody.


It’s nothing new for news organizations or companies to paint their faces with imagery that’s popular amongst the current generation. It could be as mundane as a scantily clad woman drinking Coke, or as comedic as a Geico commercial using fresh off-beat humor as dictated in The Office and Wedding Crashers.

Since when did politics become pop culture though? Obama is now seen just as much if not more on the cover of National Enquirer as he is in Newsweek. I fully understand that the president is popular, but this is just outrageous. This combined with the sensationalistic covers and headlines of magazines like Time, is deteriorating my faith in everyday news publications I formerly held in high regard (no not National Enquirer.)


Time magazine has printed Obama on the cover of their magazine 10 times in the past six months with each one of their articles more extraneous than the next. It would seem that if there was no news to report about Obama they would simply report on anything they could find, regardless of if it was news worthy, that or they would simply write about “How his mother made him who he is.”


Two of the covers framed him as nothing short of a revolutionary. One had him mocked up in colors of the American flag gazing upward, coincidentally reminiscent of a famous picture of Bob Marley. The other picture was a painting of him looking forward with a determined look on his face, this one inherently similar to a famous picture of Abraham Lincoln.


This is the same Time magazine that named George W. Bush as “Person Of The Year” in their Dec. 27, 2004 issue. To think I used to respect these publications which only report on what’s popular and only cover who’s cool is to be honest a bit embarrassing for me.

Television reporting is no different. Stations were still reporting on the inauguration four days after its occurrence. Yes, a black man being elected president is a historic event, but if American has come so far since the 60’s than why report on this for four days straight with a bunch of special edition features? You’re making race a huge deal by reporting in such a style. Can you say sensationalistic?

Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the phrase “Yes we can!” won a Teen Choice award this year. It’s being used by every organization from here to Joe Plumbers leaky ass apartment.

The election of Barack Obama is undoubtedly a momentous historical event, but let’s waits until he actually does something revolutionary before we frame his as one. If you think a black man being elected president is the start of a revolution, then what the hell have the years past been? Lies about progress since the 60’s? It shouldn’t be as huge an event as its being made out to be, this is 2009 not 1970. Besides, if in 2009 American has suddenly become the land where “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal” then where in the hell did Prop 8 come from, let alone pass?

Fail Post


Christopher Beam, a writer for Slate has recently written a heavily researched article looking back into the history of the word "fail." Often used by nerds, geeks and freaks alike, he traces it's usage back as far as anyone in their right mind would care to know. The point of the article? No fucking clue, but it does seem to touch on some interesting notions.

Now when you're at the local bar is Second Life, you'll have a witty conversation starter.

MMO Bullshit


Is there a reason that it takes over a day to fully install an MMO game from scratch? A good one? Because atm I cannot find one but I still have to deal with this ridiculous crap all of the two times I have installed an MMO.

Last night I downloaded the World of Warcraft trial (~4.5gb) and it took 4 hours over my Comcast 6mb connection. Today I went to install the game and it had to download numerous other patches. Other than the fact that the initial installer I downloaded should have incorporated the latest patches eliminating the need for this, this shit is taking wayy too fucking long.

I spent about 45 minutes downloading the first few patches and then i hit 2.4.3-3.0 (~2.3gb) and it said another 5 hours. Now you can blame this on my internet connection which was completely idle, or another problem but thats simply wrong.

The only problem there was is that the WoW downloader piece of shit reqauires ports to be forwarded which I did but my router (like most routers) is a piece of shit and keeps spitting at me that services are conflicting when their not.

Thank god we have websites like filefront where I can avoid this stupid bullshit and download it at a half decent rate in 50 minutes.

WoW can save a shit ton of bandwidth let alone 3 day installation frusturation among its users if they would include a fast track download service that was not deceptively simple piece of flying fucking crap.

Oh did I mention it took around 5 hours to install Age of Conan for the same reason?

I guess the lesson is don't play shitty fee inducing MMO games, thank god im doing this for school or id be piece the fuck out a long time ago..


Airport Security - looking good while doing nothing


Dated: I found an stunning article circulating the blogosphere about a man who has successfully snuck everything from knives to liquid to jihad pamphlets into planes, well past airport security cehckpoints. Doing so with fake boarding passes that are really not hard to make, it is definitely worth a read if you had even an inkling that those TSA officials were making America a safer place.

Kowloon Walled City: Wow...Just Look at this Place! [PIC]

The Kowloon Walled City was a tiny Chinese enclave in the middle of British Hong Kong for decades. It was torn down in 1993. Over the years, many filmmakers, gaming designers and other artists have used the Walled City as an inspiration when they wanted to convey a sense of oppressive urbanization or centers of unfettered criminality.
