VA Legislator: Disabled Children Are God’s Punishment for Women Who’ve Had Abortions
Posted by MOTO | Filed under Politics
“Western Prince William Del. Bob Marshall, R-13th, says disabled children are God’s punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.
“He made that statement last Thursday at a press conference to oppose state funding for Planned Parenthood.
“‘The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children,’ said Marshall, a Republican.
“‘In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There’s a special punishment Christians would suggest.’
“Marshall was among more than 20 people, mostly Christian pastors and clergy, who gathered for the press conference in the General Assembly Building …The press conference was held by a group called Virginia Christian Action. Its members presented a petition calling on Gov. Bob McDonnell, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to stop funding for Planned Parenthood. All three top officials are Republican.
“The petition was signed by a number of prominent Christian leaders, including the Rev. Jonathan Falwell of Lynchburg and the Rev. Pat Robertson of Virginia Beach.”

Oh legislators of my home state, with your Ceausescuan attitudes towards abortion and your “macaca”s and your insistence that blacks get over slavery and Jews apologize for “killing Christ” and your not wanting to “play favorites” by giving aid to an economically depressed region, don’t ever change.
Platinum Games is a hell of a drug

So, as a late birthday present my boyfriend paid for Bayonetta on release day (which incidentally came out before his own birthday, heh).
Since then, I have damn near played this game every single day. I can’t remember a day where I DIDN’T play it.
I’m lucky I remember to sleep and eat. I sure as fuck don’t BLOG.
I LOVE THIS GAME BUT IT’S KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I leak you the best album of 2009, and this is the thanks I get?

Torrent sites that expire your account for lack of activity fucking suck. I moved a month ago and I don’t have internet (much less wifi) in this house; only reason I’m online is because the neighbors were nice enough to let me and my boyfriend use their wifi signal! So excuse me for not jumping on every fucking torrent that’s out there (especially since a lot of those are FLAC torrents which are worthless to me anyway).
I’m probably phasing out of torrent distribution entirely. Mininova was my go-to place to search for things, and now that they’ve gone legit I feel like I’ve lost a leg. Hell, most of the time I wanted to find things like the new Nihon Chinbotsu movie or Haifa’s latest album — things that were hard to find. I got recommendations for other torrent sites but they just don’t compare in my eyes.
Oh well. So long as Russia and China exist, “copyright” is a meaningless term.

Wikipedia Doesn’t Need to Be Trolled. Wikipedia Trolls Itself.
Posted by MOTO | Filed under Misc.
Wikipedia is the culmination of all that is Internet. A place where important historical conflicts only merit a subsection in an article, yet every character in an anime show requires their own. Where people can have their vindictiveness and fury briefly shine in the vast sky like a shooting star before their changes are reverted. Where an average article word count is 30,000.
Wikipedia is, I’m certain, the alpha and the omega of the Internet.

I absolutely love how the newest Ratchet & Clank game is one of the most highly anticipated and widely hyped titles of this year, whereas the latest Jak & Daxter game is relegated to a quiet PS2/PSP release.
So people should doubt my tastes why, again?
(Yes, I did get A Crack In Time, and yes, I will give my thoughts at a later time.)
so I played the Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time Clank demo today

lonely girl

Yuri Satou, “Lonely Girl” (1983) (This is only a short version — I can’t find a YouTube video or MP3 of the full version. Does anyone know where I can find it?)
ECD, “ECD no Lonely Girl feat. K DUB SHINE” (1997)
Miliyah Kato, “Dear Lonely Girl” (2005)
I always wondered why the latter sampled “Sexual Healing”. Now I know.
Come pet the cat.

I believe that works of beauty should be shared with the world, and preserved so that they can be admired in perpetuity. So, with this mission in mind, I present to you this wonderful review of Cybermorph written by Dave Halverson back in an issue of Diehard GameFan Magazine.
It’s also worth noting that this was review after Halverson had drank coffee that had been spiked with LSD. Yes, really.
“After braving the stormy skies of New York city, Kid Fan emerged with the first Atari Jaguar awarded to a game publication. After ripping open the Fed Ex box, we all gathered around the first 64 bit game system and plunked in Cybermorph…I got to play. 24 hours later, long after everyone else (except for my trusty Quadra operator) had left I emerged, totally fulfilled, with the strange feeling that after playing video Games for 9 years I had just played the first “real one”. No longer am I tied down to going farom point A to point B, I could go anywhere, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted. After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then surprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I’m used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I am still, two days later, studying.
“It turns out that there are fifty planets! Making this game, one that doesn’t even nick the hardware, the longest I have ever played. All 3D, all rendering on the fly, filled with vivid, brilliant colors and detailed polygon enemies, that seem aware of my presence-I am thrilled with this game. So now, for me the face of gaming has totally changed. Now, I must imagine games like this that make use of the Jag’s full potential. Texture mapped, rendering on the fly RPG’s are now possible- games with huge worlds to explore are on the horizon. Action, shooting, role playing, adventure, the Jag will have it all! No Putt, Putt’s, no Bird’s Life, just solid inventive 64- bit games from programmers with imagination. This game was made by ATD, who’s ATD? Whoever they are, they sure know how to make games. They got inside my head and that’s what it’s all about. Will everyone who plays Cybermorph feel as I do?…probably not. There are those, (I’ve already met some), who will turn it on, fly in to a planet, think they’re just playing another shooter, die for sure, and exclaim…this is 64 bit? To those boneheads-I must say; you have to look deeper than that, this is the first game! It was probably started before the 64 bit processor housed inside was even invented. Look at the creativity, the sound, the intelligence. Cybermorph has great music in the intro, but the game itself whispers only the surreal sounds of each planet. The sounds of approaching missiles, the rumbling of approaching transport vehicles, the hum of your thrusters, that’s all you here and rightfully so- music would only interfere. In closing, I can only say that, with the Jaguar, Atari has won our support. The new machine is made here, in the highest quality I have ever seen and looks fantastic. Support? They will have it, because we all will own this system, at least most of our readers will. And you guys alone can spell success for a new system. Atari is back, come pet the cat.”
You don’t know?!
