Awesome Movie Review: Doom
Ahh, Doom. It seems like just yesterday I was in high school, getting a fistful of floppies from a friend, and going home to fire up the modem for some hardcore 28.8 baud action. Doom was the shit, at least until Duke Nukem 3D came out. Even sawing up demons with a chainsaw can’t beat using a toilet and giving a stripper $1. Those are the type of things that make a first-person shooter memorable. It’s been so long since the days of Doom that I can’t even remember the exact plot of the game. I’m pretty sure it involved killing demons on Mars and trying to stop them from getting to Earth. I also remember shooting chickens out of a rocket launcher and unlocking secret videos of naked Pam Anderson. Sadly, there are no chicken launchers in Doom. But thankfully, there’s also no naked Pam Anderson.
Opening Day Rant
It’s Opening Day in baseball today, and I’m ready to freakin’ kill somebody. Preferably the person responsible for mlb.tv. I paid $80 to watch baseball games online, yet now I’m unable to since the cockchafers at mlb.tv decided to make it incompatible with Linux. This is a recent development. Not more than a few weeks ago, I was able to watch Spring Training games and the World Baseball Classic using a variety of multimedia plugins. Now, not so much.
As if adding insult to injury, mlb.tv also decided to flashify everything. It’s 2006, who the fuck uses flash? Flash is garbage. Flash has always been garbage. Flash makes the Internet unbearable. But it does allow for a little “Boss” button on the mlb.tv page. What is a “Boss” button, you might ask. Well, it’s a little button that you click on and the baseball game window changes into a fake Word document. What kind of Word document? A fake nomination letter to bestbossever.com That is–pardon the expression–gay.
