24Jan03 (Monthenor): What's a story arc about the unutterable evil of corporate media consolidation without a dig at the FOX News Channel? My VCR is pretty smart, so when it tells me a show is on, I believe it. However, when the description for FOX News Channel comes up as "Fair And Balanced", I just laugh. Laugh and laugh and laugh.

So...is this some new Net worm? A new dance craze? Or has gogeek.org finally gained the mathematical respect it so richly deserves? I don't know, and I haven't had time to look it over in detail, but what do you think of this?

25Jan02 (Monthenor): Holy good goddamn, was gogeek down or what? Stupid Internet worms...stupid Microsoft servers...

Anyway, I just played this game today called War of the Monsters. Some people like it...I don't. Now, there hasn't been a lot of city stompin', car throwin' monster lovin' since the great 8-bit Rampage, and on that level this game succeeds. It oozes B-movie style from it's every pore. But when you have to actually play the game (and that's what we people do), it falls down. Yes yes yes, we're all 100 feet tall...but that idea doesn't mesh well with a hectic four-way battle like Super Smash Brothers. In fact, imagine a Super Smash Bros. where everyone is as big and slow as Donkey Kong and hits as hard as Luigi. Maybe in a four-awy human match it would redeem itself, but there's no four-player support. Rent it if you really need to knock buildings over, and good luck. The computer will be all over your ass before you knock down the first building.

Behold the infernal musical stylings of Jon Bon Jovi: Vampire Slayer!

John Carpenter's Vampires: I Hate You Movie Viewers and Shall Lay This Pox Upon You was apparently too long for the video box… since this is, of course, a direct to video release…

Monthenor and I just started watching Vampires: Los Muertos. Even at this point, listing all of its faults would take volumes… but here's an anecdotal sampling:

• Bon Jovi carries his hunting gear in a hollowed-out surfboard—stake guns, a katana, a pike, sun-in-a-can, the usual
• a sleeping vampire… in a not-so-dark church… "hiding" in plain sight under a table… next to a pool of sunlight
• a vampire's body temperature is about 40°… on a bright Mexican afternoon—not even close to room temperature

It's bad… thankfully, most of the actor's accents are incomprehensible, just like the plot—it saves you the time of agonizing over details. Yet we're still watching; it's not as bad as The Movie That Shall Not Be Named. That one stopped us in less than five minutes.

Nested incarnations aren't permitted at this level.

Don't ask… just visit the comics at e-sheep.com, specifically Delta Thrives.

Warning: Includes some adult content and mature situations involving websurfer-controled, microsurveilance drones in an alternate history of American politiganda (political propaganda) and a nude, orange-skinned (computer generated) woman with a blog from the future.

A more helpful warning: These comics are graphically intenseive. They aren't afraid to suck up all your bandwidth with a Flash movie that makes you scroll for so many dozens of screens you'll cry out in agony if you don't have a scroll wheel.

But you should kick yourself if you don't investigate. I almost didn't read The Spiders, so I'll initiate the kick-fest if you don't go look at them.

Oh, and I almost forgot about The Apocamon. How foolish of me.
