  • The internet is always right!

    Everything that can be invented has been invented.

    Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. patent office, 1899

    As I sat in class discussion the question came up about whether or not we as a society could cut down on pollution. Many said they believed things would get worse and there really is no turning back. I thought to myself that that seemed kind of depressing and negative, so I was about to bring up the quote stated above, but I didn’t know who said it, nor could I remember the exact quote.

    Google.com here I come!

    I typed in quote ‘everything invented’

    Surprisingly, this is a quote that really isn’t a quote. Charles H. Duell never actually said this (nor is there evidence anyone else in the patent office actually said this) But hey, if the internet said it, it must be true!

    This got me thinking, one day, we will look back and probably think we know a quote was said that may not have been said. Something like this quote.

    ‘Every first person shooter that can be made, has already been made.’ – Ben Chichoski Creator of Call of Duty
    (This could also go for Hollywood)

     
    What a fine game & expansion

    This game seems familiar, so does that guys face

    Why does everyone always have to be yelling?

    You’re going the wrong way! – guy yelling in right hand corner to other guy posing for this pic hoping to be remembered as the hero

      

    Another guy posing for the camera ignoring the bloody battle behind him

    Wow, choppers! Do we get to fly these ones??

    Co-op was fun (this dude is actually yelling under that fabric)

    In this one you get a flame thrower! And this guy is also yelling

     

    It was somewhere around here people started to notice something was strange

       

    This is when we finally realized the internet was late in releasing the quote about FPS games.

    Actually, that quote sounds good today, go ahead and copy paste that into your pulse, facebook, etc.

  • Thank You PETA

    So… I think PETA does good things, but I think they do a lot more stupid things. Perhaps someone needs to make a REAL organization for protecting animals. Honestly, I don’t even remember what PETA stands for, I’m so used to hearing ‘People Eating Tasty Animals’ and “People Encouraging Terrorist Acts’ type things that the actual meaning has slipped me.

    I think it’s something like “We like to make noise cause we are bored.” I think it’s an entertainment industry maybe? I mean, how could THIS be real?

    Come on DICE, the rat just wanted to play! You should have given it cheese!

    Thousands of virtual human lives lost every day from online crisis, not a peep, one virtual rat dies to save one of these human virtual lives and PETA has had it.

    Thank you PETA for giving my plenty to laugh about (unless you are successful with this claim, then I’ll have to cry)

    See here how many virtual humans died, and died by a knife in just BF3s beta test.

    On a side note, Doritos has started putting AXE into their Chips.

    EDIT:

    So truth be told, PETA does not eat tasty animals, (or at least I don’t think they do), however, they do KILL healthy animals who are not virtual.

    See here and here

    Now if that isn’t a twist, I don’t know what is.
