First, Saint's Row 3 breaks my heart.

For those of you (blissfully) unaware, Blizzard held it's annual mass circle jerk called Blizzcon earlier this month. I'm really at a loss as to why they call it 'Blizzcon', as if anything but World of Warcraft ever takes center stage at it, but I digress. They announced the newest expansion to WoW which basically looks to put the game on the level of one of those free to play Korean MMO's you play in a browser. The two morons in charge of the game have managed to run off a million subscribers (at least, a million that Blizz will admit to) in less than 10 months with their idiotic bumbling - at this point, they could put Bill Roper in charge and expect similar results.


One of the things they announced along with this expansion pack was a plan - a plan to give away Diablo 3 to anyone who pays for a year of WoW.


I know what you're thinking. Here's what I'm thinking.

I've heard it stated that "SOP" stands for "Semantics on Parade". My take on that is this: language is the means by which we communicate our ideas and express our intellect. If we're not going to make an effort to use it properly, we might as well still be throwing handfuls of shit at each other. If you're using sign language, you're only a few unbent fingers from turning "Pass me the Cheerios" into "Shove that plant up my ass". Needless to say, I consider it important to use correct language in self-expression. More important than language, though, is making sure you have the actual content of your thoughts in an expressible state before you take the safety off that pecker holster you so vacuously call a mouth and let them tumble out of it like lumps of cow dung falling off the the back of a manure truck. It wouldn't matter if Sloth had Ralph Waldo Emerson's gift for words - he'd just have a few fancier ways of saying "HEY YOU GUYS!". So, we'll discuss language another time. For now, let's work on content.


I'm not sure how many gamers out there have spent any time in consideration of things that happen outside of their homes or in contemplation of concepts that extend beyond their gamerscore if they have a clean jerk sock available for watching Jugg Fucklers 41 later that morning. From the interactions I've had with the community in general, I'd say the percentage who have is.. well, let's be nice and call it "humble".


That's where I come in. I'm going to introduce all of you reading this to a couple of concepts that you may be aware of, but probably don't know the names of and haven't given more than a moment's thought to before today: objectivity and subjectivity.

Do I really have to add anything else?

Yes, friends! By scarfing down Doritoes and drowning yourself in penis-shrinking Mountain Dew, you can earn up to 15 minutes of double experience gain in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3! You only get 15 minutes for a can or 44oz fountain cup of the green stuff, but if you buy a Wal-Mart 20 pack, you get 90 full minutes! That's an hour and a half for the math challenged out there.

There's a better deal out there, though: I heard that if you want QUADRUPLE experience gain in Modern Warfare 3, all you have to do is drink Clorox bleach or eat some Brillo pads! A few swallows/bites will only get you 15 minutes, but if you drink a gallon bottle, you'll get it FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! So all you Modern Warfare nuts out there, forget the corn chips and soda, go straight for the throat of all your fellow dudebros and do the rest of the world a huge favor in the process.

This has been a really hot button topic nowadays, so I’m going to try and collect my thoughts here for everyone to see. As we all know, Capcom has announced a sequel/upgrade to Marvel vs Capcom 3 that will be released for the “Bargain” price of $40. Some people are really excited by all the new features, while others see it as a slap in the face, having to shell out another $40 for a “completed” version of a game they bought not even a year ago. Allow me to play Devil’s Advocate to both sides and point out the good and bad points of this decision.
