The Bad Rant

This is more disturbing then funny but it does have monkey.

 But wait… there’s more.

It’s a conspiracy I tell you… A CONSPIRACY!

See you next month with the next “Hopefully not monkey related” WTF award.

The liberals won the general elections again… I felt like doing a “NOOooo!’ scene of my own.

General election day bring my piss to a boil. Everytime I go vote it never makes any difference and in the end it’s just a big waste of time but I waste my time everytime anyway… unlike 29% of the people that live in Quebec.

If you know a little bit about the province of Quebec then you know how easy it is to make a buck for free with more then 1/3 of us all. You just need to ask and we will gladly let you take a joy ride in our cars and you can even take our wives and daughters along while you’re at it… heck, by now im pretty sure you took all our money but we dont care… we’re Quebekers!

Well, to tell the truth, we’re not ”that” bad but when you hear about the sponsorship scandal the liberals pulled on us, the Québécois ( Quebekers can actually be considered a sort of racial slur ) a few years back you just wonder why peoples still vote for them… and yet the Quebec Liberal Party wins again ( They also won last time in 2003, God knows why ).

It’s like more then the third of the people in Quebec are not aware that the money that they payed in taxes to maintain the roads, pay their doctors salary and feed their children’s teachers had been wasted by the liberals to purchase golf balls with the red canadian maple leaf printed on them instead. Note that half of the people who voted for the liberals last time voted for the Action Démocratique du Québec ( ADQ, the new kids on the block ) instead this year, but it was still not enough. I voted for the Block Québécois because I strongly believe that if the “Yes” win at the next referendum it would fix all of our present troubles  but if the ADQ would have won it would have been ok since I wanted to see them in action and make a fair judgement of this new party… but the Quebec Librerals… why?

I guess I could take the whole situation positively. Now that the Liberals are in power they need to repay what they did to us and help rebuild or else they get the boot. And if they dont fix anything and are still there next elections I’m going to migrate far, far away.

Eletric cars ftw.

I dont understand why my father is so interested in hybrid cars. If it still runs on gasoline then what’s the difference? Sure you pollute less but you’re still polluting and it defeat the whole purpose of trying to make a difference.

Still having trouble understanding what i’m saying, try to picture this little story: You have 3 cars. The first one has a gasoline engine, the second one is hybrid and the third one has an electric engine. You take car number 1 for a ride and 10 km latter you have polluted for 10 buckets of greenhouse gases. You take car number 2 for a ride and 20 km latter you have polluted for 10 buckets of greenhouse gases. You take car number 3 for a ride and 10,000 km latter you’ve lost your empty bucket because it was so empty.

I dont see why it’s not more obvious to everyone else around me; electric cars are the only solutions and a total oil phase-out in every countries is the only way to save the world from greenhouse gases and pollution.

Just think about what the world could become like if we chose not to act and to ignore the consequence of our actions. 

Humans!

Sad reality… I know.

So they’re going to ban normal incandescent light bulbs to remplace them by more energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs to reduce the greenhouse effect… but how does the normal incandescent light bulbs contribute to the greenhouse effect? Turns out they dont… not directly anyway.

The real polluter here is the power plants who provide the eletricity that illuminate those light bulbs.

So this raise a question: Will it really reduce greenhouse gases emission? Not necesserly since it all depends on how much electricity is consumed by each and everyone using the services from a polluting power plant.

 So will all this make any difference at all? Im pretty sure it wont do much variation in the quality of our air since nothing is done to prevent everyone from overconsuming electricity… except maybe in Cuba but that’s a different story.

What I love about all this is that everywhere I read the story they make it sound like the light bulbs were to blame for all the polution.

This video is the closest thing I have found of someone linking nuclear power plants to the problem and all they do is show you the nuclear power plants briefly… you need to figure out the link between the nuclear power plant and the light bulbs all by yourself. ( Why is it so important to make note of something so simple? … just watch the movie Idiocracy )

So… for when is the ban on useless, non-energy efficient, hazardous products like the Playstation 3?

I was watching some gaming related videos last night and decided to take a peek at the other video at game trailers dot com when I found this atrocity.

Just in case you can’t open the video or dont understand what the guy is talking about let me shed some light for you.

 To create Silverfall we gathered a group of skilled individuals and our goal was to create a universe that was as integrated and as consistent as possible with an emphasis on fun. An immersive universe and a story that could engage the player.

Translation: We were too incompetents to create a game so we payed some peoples to do it for us. Note that they talk a lot about a “Universe” and im pretty sure that what they mean by that is that you will be able to play in the world that they created and see a sun rise and set… maybe some stars that you wont be able to visit too.

We wanted to fully immerse the players, give them more  freedom in the game with the characters that they identify with. We settled on four ethnicities and two genders. We figured that would be a good basis. That choice gave us a lot of possibilities, a lot of diversity.

So because I can select my race and chose to be a guy or a lady im supposed to feel free and immersed? And what about “a lot of possibilities” and “A lot of diversity” 4 races and 2 gender is enough diversity for you? All the rpg games I have played have more selection then this.

The Silverfall universe was designed to be the setting of a hack & slash game. At the level of gameplay we wanted to add a lot of immersion and freedom this led us to the story of the choice between nature and technology which led us to modify the universe. This is the sort of evolution that took place.

In fact I remember hearing that Silverfall was designed to be a Mmorpg but I just learned that they decided to make an action rpg with it instead because they messed up really bad. Not to mention that Hack & Slash games are the worst rpg games you can ever find on the market… with a few exceptions.

 We wanted to do something more exciting then to just give the players some homes or little wings, that’s been done before. So we asked ourselves “What would be fun for the players to do with the character?” for example transforming into a werewolf or having a huuuuuge gun and a cyborg like arm. This seemed much more interesting and these choices resulted in a world full of creatures.

Oh yeah… I would really like to see my character take a second generic form provided by the game creators or have a different weapon that does massive damages… wait… that’s been done before. As for owning your own house in a mmorpg ( A house that would be part of the game world and would actually be usefull ) and wings that would allow a player to fly in a 3D Mmorpg… that remain to be seen as far as i know.

So in short they have failled to show their so called “Universe” failled to show the creatures of the world ( just a brief presentation of the 4 races ) and they’re full of shit.

This game could have become a good mmorpg but they litteraly failed and now the game will be some lame action rpg. I pitty the fool who will spend money for that game… it’s not even out and the ratings are going through the floor… litteraly.
