What ruled about 2008?

This blog! I was able to just write for fun for a while, and while that fell off during the finals, it’ll be coming back in a big way next year. Click on the pictures to get the files, guys.

My podcast! Started on an indignant whim, Jastaz, Dave, and I have had a real blast making it. It’s something to look forward to doing and an avenue where I can talk about video games as much as I freaking want! We’re gearing up to do end of the year shit, which you can hear about on the next podcast, and we have even bigger, and better things in the future.

Music and video games! I’ve found more awesome shit in both fields this year than I did in any other year. For once, I agree with Pitchfork’s album of the year. I’ve played games online- Horde Mode from Gears of War 2 especially- with more people, and had more fun online than ever. I found ICO and had my world flipped completely upside down, then I got a blowjob while upside down, and landed on my feet content, happy, and kinda smelly.

Also, dick jokes!

The United States! That whole Barack Obama thing was great! Although I’m pretty bummed on all the gay marriage stuff.

My history professor, for being the realest motherfucker in the world.

One of the bridges I burned the year for got built up behind my back, and someone I previously assumed was completely fucking crazy is only mostly crazy!

Portal jokes are starting to go away, as is the goddamn song! Way to run it into the ground!

My buddy Chaz got back from his term in the navy all safe and shit!

And, most importantly, Giant Bomb Dot Com! Fucking coolest website in the history of the world! I wrote a humongous article about Fire ProWrestling Returns, and got featured on the front page the week after the site launched. There’s comic book and anime versions of this site, but fuck them! My heart belongs to Giant Bomb! And their chat channel is full of some of the nicest, best, and most fun people I’ve ever met and played games with. One of them even put some money towards my podcast on a whim. Rock on forever, Giant Bomb. So many shout outs to give. Goddamnit, I’m going to do it!

-Pepsiman, for putting up my huge wanky Fire Pro Returns article.
-Tanuki, for being my horde mode homie and also being a robot.
-Brukaoru, for laughing at my stupid jokes and being the podcast’s #1 fan.
-Motherfucking Matt Bodega, for being the world’s most excited man re; video games, and reminding me about how awesome games are.
-Casey, for having the best gamertag the world will ever see.
-Virago, for being so, so hot.
-Rowr and Johnny5, the Australian Kings of Power 4 Billion.

And, finally, most importantly of all… crab claw.

ALRIGHT 2009, WE ARE GOING TO ROCK YOUR GODDAMN FLESH OFF! YEAHH!!
