I'll stop spamming everyone very soon but here's my new reviews blog
I’m kind of addicted to reviewing things. And this time I won’t just review video games, so there’s that.

My Finest Moment
Today, because this is something that real-life professionals do, I took a nap underneath the desk of the person I was substituting for over the lunch break. Hey, I was tired, OK?
About a half hour into my nap, another teacher came into the room, looking specifically for me. Because I didn’t want to admit that I had been sleeping on the floor, I instead hid like a fully-grown child-man until the other teacher left. Then, in a crowning moment of glory, I went back to my nap because I was still tired.
JOBS PLEASE.

DYING AND IT’S ALL ANNA’S FAULT
For a second I thought this was a stamp. Now I wish there were a Gamera stamp.
Gamera loves children! And mail!
I put this picture of Gamera in an assignment I made two nights ago! Unfortunately the picture was, like, 25 MB and wouldn’t email to myself.

Kotaku launches new version of their site that focuses solely on actual gaming news, doesn't really seem to understand why they've done it.
“More stories about what a game company wants to sell you next.” FUCKING KILL ME NOW.
It’s been a long time coming, but Kotaku have made a version of their site that features gaming news exclusively - Kotaku Core. Finally, a version of the site that doesn’t bombard you with irrelevant bullshit about Japan, or medical science, or whatever!
Still, our good friend Stephen Totilo appears to have absolutely no idea why people have been asking for this very thing. In the post announcing Kotaku Core, Totes writes:
Kotaku Core readers will only see stories about video games themselves. You won’t see stories about the culture surrounding video games. You’ll see more stories about products, fewer stories about people; more stories about what a game company wants to sell you next, fewer feature stories, fewer stories about crime, politics, life and death.
Right, yeah, no. Look, people weren’t complaining about the posts that looked at game culture. Those are fine. I don’t have a problem with those. It’s posts like this one about a man who died kind-of sort-of near an arcade in Japan, or this one about a man trying to hold up a Toys R Us with two plastic lightsabers, or this one about Alec Baldwin using Twitter. These posts have nothing to do with gamer culture. You’d have to have suffered serious cranial trauma to think that posts like these somehow relate to videogames.
(The first person who suggests the lightsaber thing should get a pass because there have been Star Wars games gets a free umbrellenema, which is exactly what it sounds like.)
Congratulations on finally doing the right thing, Kotaku, but a sincere, wholehearted Fuck You for entirely missing the point of why people have been asking for it.
Notes from a casual Limp Bizkit reference
OK, so in my AP class I mentioned that the band Limp Bizkit was a big phenomenon when I was in elementary/high school. NO ONE HAD HEARD OF LIMP BIZKIT. Here are their thoughts:
- “Who would name their band Limp Biscuit? That’s like calling your band ‘Soggy Muffin’”
- “Wait, THAT’S how you spell Bizkit? Who would do something like that?”
- “What are some of their songs?” “Nookie? Rearranged? Rollin’?” “Nope, never heard any of them.”
- Me: so you don’t know the guy with the red hat who like, raps over metal music? “No, but that sounds incredibly stupid.”
