Other than the music, which is pretty damn good if you're into experimental rock, I love this band for the fact that it releases all of it's music under Copyleft. <br />

It's a beautiful thing really. If you watch athenewins on Youtube, the guy who does all of the World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Ipower, etc, you've probably heard his music. They use it in pretty much all of their videos because they can do it for free, and he doesn't mind because its free publicity.<br />
<br />
So check it out, it's free! <a href="http://www.bradsucks.net/">http://www.bradsucks.net/</a>Onesimushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18266854214520488109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155506891987992258.post-68429340620217178132011-02-07T18:54:00.000-08:002011-02-07T19:01:38.097-08:00Superbowl Half Time show with the Black Eyed Peas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/kYhtGNZRv74?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>I can't even stand to watch the whole performance.

Every episode is full of boobs, blood, and orgies. One might find this to be over the top and offensive. I disagree. I think the show captures the depravity and decadence of the Roman people, especially the aristocracy. Most of the show takes place in a Ludus (gladiator training hall), where violence is commonplace and the men are particularly savage. My only major problem with the show so far is that Batiatus, the lanistae (owner of the ludus) has ambitions to become a senator. Historically this would have been impossible as a Lanistae was seen as half pimp and half butcher, they were not exactly the most respectable of people. Though, their position did carry some weight. I also noticed there there are Retiarius (net and trident fighters) which didn't exist at the time of the third Servile War (I think those first came about around 200 years later). I'm sure there are a few other historical inaccuracies that I haven't caught but the show does a pretty good job. All in all though the show is pretty damn fun to watch, I highly recommend it.<br />

I heard some rumors about the site being pressured to close. What with this whole Alex Jones/Prison Planet/David thing going on it's almost like the federal mafioso's are going around and putting the squeeze on conspiracy sites.<br />

At this point all I can do is laugh when the Federal government betrays the trust of its people and allies. "Oh those elected public officials! They're at it again! Hah ahah ah."

<br />
The internet needs to be free. It has done a damn good job running itself for the last 2 decades and it doesn't need the FCC or anyone else to wrap their claws around it.<br />
<br />
If you have the time check out this Wall Street Journal article, or do some googling to find out some truth for yourself. <br />

Hopefully Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach will still be fresh on everyone's minds when I start up some competitions though. I can see Black Ops multiplayer having some pretty awesome potential for competition.Onesimushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18266854214520488109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155506891987992258.post-64910175719837974522010-09-23T14:08:00.000-07:002010-09-23T14:08:29.723-07:00WCG Ultimate GamerThe other day I was watching that show "WCG Ultimate Gamer" on the SyFy network. I haven't seen much of it because, frankly, I have better things to do with my time. But from what I saw the competitors on that show were mediocre at best. It felt so staged, like any other bad reality show. One of the parts I saw involved some sort of an elimination challenge where two of the competitors had to pick partners and then battle it out in a game of Bad Company 2. One of the competitors, I think his name was Yaz, is supposed to be some sort of badass at FPS games. Near as I could tell though he only did marginally better than the others. And one of the people on the other team was a "rhythm games specialist, i.e Rock Band and DDR...", if that tells you anything at all. At the end of the match the score was 14-15. That isn't all that unlikely but, that isn't the only time I've seen one of the competitions in that show end up with a 1 point spread. The show reeks of BS but, I guess I could be wrong.

In the coming months I plan to begin hosting small local video game competitions in Corpus Christi, Texas. Entry fees, cash prizes, big screen TVs, the works. I'll be using this blog to document my progress in getting the first competition together, and then eventually to use it to post the outcome of each tournament. Hopefully I'll even find the time to do some more "traditional" blogging too.<br />
