Oh, this could go either way, folks...

We've finally made it to the Championship match-up of the 2010 Douchebag Tournament! It's going to be a vicious, no-holds-barred grudge match between two of the biggest douchebags the world has ever seen:

2010 Douchebag Tournament: Championship Round

They did it! They said it was impossible, but now Olivier Laurent, a British photographer, has blogged some test pictures from the first batch of Polaroid film since everything expired last year.

The results? Not good. Overly sensitive, and subject to minute temperature variations? What does this mean? Awesomeness! There's now film for our old Polaroid cameras. The film's just going to get better.

This hands-on preview is based on only one cartridge of the new PX100, and considering instant film's particularities, a positive or negative judgment should be based on more than eight shots. But my initial impressions are that PX100 behaves like a expired pack of 779 or Time-Zero. You're never sure of what you will get. To be fair, Impossible did warn us about this during its press conference yesterday. A slight change in temperature or pressure can ruin or enhance your image.

Or some other euphemism for being gay.

Well, here goes. I really resent the term, but I use it because it's recognized and accepted.

I'm gay.

From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there's not much "gay" about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the shadows, in a culture that was -- at least outwardly -- totally hostile to any hint of that variation of life-style. At no time did I choose to adopt any protective coloration, though; my cultivation of an abundant beard was not at all a deception, but part of my costume as a conjuror.

Gradually, the general attitude that I'd perceived around me began to change, and presently I find that there has emerged a distinctly healthy acceptance of different social styles of living -- except, of course, in cultures that live in constant and abject fear of divine retribution for infractions found in the various Holy Books... In another two decades, I'm confident that young people will find themselves in a vastly improved atmosphere of acceptance.

  Progress Wars Looks Awesome

If you like progress bars, that is.

This was actually a little more fun than some MMOs. If you opened up a chat window and played the Creature Cantina music, you'd pretty much have Star Wars Galaxies.

Clever ad for the Samsung DCC camera. I love their screen names.

But it does highlight the very real problem of staged profile pictures, and why you shouldn't trust them.

  LOVE Blooms In March

| No Comments

Good news if you're looking for Love.

One-man development army Eskil Steenberg announced a March 25 release date for Love, his procedural online adventure game and perhaps the most ambitious video game ever made by a single person.

...

Now the beta testing is coming to an end, and the game launches on March 25 for the PC, with OSX and LINUX versions planned. There will be a subscription fee to play, but it will likely be far less than Steenberg deserves for this amazing accomplishment.

It's not often you see two guys you know on the front page of the newspaper. Apparently, Michael Walchuk is fighting tomorrow, and he's got a shot at becoming Waterloo Region's first Canadian pro boxing title holder since Fitz Vanderpool in 1996.

After a fling with pro fighting, a discouraged Walchuk walked away from the sport for a couple years.

Then one day, he landed on the doorstep of Keith Vanderpool's youngest brother in Kitchener in search of a trainer.

Longtime friends, Walchuk was once Syd Vanderpool's sparring partner.

"I could've approached him a couple years ago about working together, but Michael wasn't ready," said Syd, a former world middleweight champ.

Sounds like the game's got a lot going for it. Just needs to be polished a little more.

The Ships: You could put any avatar in a Star Trek uniform and suddenly they're a Starfleet officer. The real characters in Star Trek Online are the ships. Star Trek Online's starships are gorgeous creatures, lovingly rendered with painstaking attention to detail, and given to the players, who can then mix and match parts from several different styles to create their own personal star-spanning ride.
...
I love my ship more than I love some of my pets.

  Canadian Actor Corey Haim Dies

RIP Corey. Died from an apparent drug overdose.

Wait, did I get that right?

coreys.jpg

There. Much better.

Ah, I kid. Comedy: it's tragedy plus time.

It sounds like he was having a tough time with drugs for a while now. A quote from Haim in his Wikipedia article:

"I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day -- the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the Valium -- I'm not talking about the other pills I went through".

I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Early Wednesday morning, State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.) was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. Sources report that Ashburn -- a fierce opponent of gay rights -- was driving drunk after leaving a gay nightclub; when the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, there was an unidentified man in the passenger seat of the car.

Remember when Jack Chick described Buddhists as rich assholes? Turns out they're most evenly distributed group by wealth. Yeah, well Chick's an asshole.

It's no secret that the distribution of wealth is inequitable in the United States across racial, regional, and socio-economic groups. But there is a distinct variance among and within America's faiths as well. This transparency takes a look at the income levels of America's major religious groups, as compared to the average U.S. income distribution.
