I have forsaken my blogging brethren! I have let down the masses! I have neglected to post a single blog nigh these many nights! I swear I have a really good excuse though. My beloved computer, Baby, is in the hospital. It’s entirely possible that she’s suffering from SIDS and I wait with bated breath for the computer people to call and tell me it’s all over. I had her built as a beautiful, shiny new desktop almost seven years ago (which in computer years is, like, old!) and she’s served me surprisingly well. As I sit here in bed on my boyfriend’s laptop, I can’t help but ask myself… where, oh where, is the future of gaming technology going? The death of my gaming rig has forced me back onto the console, and console gaming is something that I very rarely partake in. The debate of gaming platforms has raged wild and uncontrolled through countless mediums, and although I still insist that First Person Shooters can only be truly experienced and mastered on the keyboard, I got to watch zee Boyfriend play Call of Duty: World at War. I have a very soft spot for Day of Defeat – spawned from hours of sitting in my chosen sniping spot taking off allies’ helmets – and watching the merging of DoD style shooting merged with the RPG element of being able to level up, unlocking new classes, guns, and various tasty doohickies, made me yearn for my days of FPS Godhood.

This is ‘Fear of Girls‘ – the first video of an internet series about hetero life mates and their struggles to woo the fairer sex. It involves some of my most favourite things in the universe: D&D, geeky guys, exaggerated jokes, and awkward silence. Enjoy!
Recently I wrote that little blurb about the site with all the geek crafts. I mentioned LOLCats. To the right is my first, and likely only attempt at the LOLCat style of “humour”.
While I’m not as enthralled as a lot of people seem to be about the “phenomenon”, I do enjoy finding out little tidbits of interesting, albeit geeky, history. Often times I find out the source behind these memes, and I’m just left unimpressed. Mostly it’s just some idiot (think Angry German Kid) who did something stupid, and the internet community gets all over it like white on rice. (NOTE: If you are partial to that brown stuff that tries to pass for rice, insert “that brown stuff” in place of “white” in my previous statement.)
The history behind “DO NOT WANT”, though.. This one’s actually pretty interesting…
I came across a site recently which I felt I should mention. I’ll let this wonderful image of a cat resting in its bed – which happens to have been made from a hollowed-out computer monitor – speak for itself a moment before I tell you all about it.
In my constant search for geeky girly things to contribute to the site, I came across GeekCrafts.com. I’ve actually been watching this site the past week or so and found that they pretty consistently put up the neatest little crafts which aren’t ever all too difficult to duplicate.
As we all know by now, I’m a huge fan of Team Fortress 2. I play on a very regular basis, almost always the same aweome clan (www.zyreal.com). With the newest update (woo! Scout!) coming out over the course of this week, it got me thinking about all the awesome things I’d like to see in TF2 updates. My imagination ran WILD, I tell you! Well, okay, no it didn’t. But it did get me thinking about fan art.
I’ve never really gotten the whole ‘fan art’ idea — to me it always seems to make me feel dirty. It’s like I’m seeing characters in a way that I was never meant to see them. It’s like catching a glimpse at naked NKOTB, man. Something about it just feels so… wrong! Heavy holding a Portal cake and looking surprised? It’s like… video game wank!
…But I love TF2 so much that it seems I’m willing to accept the majority of the fan art out there available to us die-hards.
I’ve gathered up a collection of fan art that depicts my beloved TF2 characters as women — what could be cooler? Nothing. That’s the answer. NOTHING.
Hrmm, there’s got to be a really great joke here. If I could only spot it…
So this crazy counting cock ring lets you know exactly how many times you’ve thrust the lethal lumber into the saw mill of love in a session… or, hey, I’m not one to judge maybe it’ll just keep track of how many times you’ve polished the pipe… released the pearl jam… jacked the beanstalk… you know? *flustered*
Sennheiser has now begun offering completely customized microphones! Now you can bring the comfort of singing into your hairbrush out of the home… with a realistic bejewling of a hairbrush on your microphone!
These Sennheiser microphones, which are Swarovski pimped via Sennheiser’s own website, get 2.400 crystals, and unlike most customizing services, it doesn’t void the warranty.
Prices range from $699 to $999 – which isn’t bad for that cool glittery customized microphone that you’ve always wanted!
Ever wish you didn’t have ears? Well do I have something for you!
Check out these super rad headphones! They come in a wide variety of colours and, if you match the colour with your own hair colour, you too can walk around looking like you have no ears! I swear, earlessness is a fashion trend that will not be easily swayed, my friends.
Who’s going to call you on it? Someone proficient at sign language, that’s who.

This penisometer… tally… banger… bang-o-dometer…
