Mind Blowing Video Game Fact:

All through development, the arcade classic “Pac-Man” was intended to be a video-game tie-in to the popular children’s novel “The Missing Piece”. However, at the last minute Shel Silverstein, author of “The Missing Piece”, rescinded the rights, because intellectual copyright law works like that sometimes. However, production had proceeded so far that the only change the developers had time to make was the title. 

What this means is that every snarky internet commenter to ever “jokingly” compare Pac-Man to a pill-popper running through a club dodging hallucinatory ghosts is actually quite the jerk. The poor guy is just looking for his missing piece. [Source: Google.com]

A Bunch of Random Shit That I Need To Get Off My Mind So I Can Do My Actual Job

• I really hope Yahoo doesn’t fuck up Tumblr, because then I’ll have to switch blogging platforms but keep my URL. I guess I’d switch to Wordpress. That wouldn’t be that bad.
• I really hate people complaining about privacy settings on Facebook. Weren’t you guys taught to be careful on the internet, as kids? Don’t put things on the internet you don’t want other people to see. 
• No I really think that there’s this generation of kids who grew up using Facebook and have this totally fucked up perception of what the internet is.
• I first started exploring the internet in AOL chatrooms, and let me tell you, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. 
• That’s some hardcore shit. 
• But then Facebook comes along with its nice friendly atmosphere and “look see only other people in college can join!” and we’re all like “oh, that seems safe.”
• And then high school kids could join too.
• And then high school kids’ parents could join.
• But we still see it as this safe, comfortable place where we can post pictures of ourselves drunk as donkeys, puking out dorm room windows. 
• But it’s not that. And furthermore, it never was.
• Please be careful on the internet, guys, there’s some fucked up shit out here. 

Anonymous asked: I can't read your article because the cracked app won't stay open for more than 45 seconds without crashing, sorry :(

I have Wong on the phone now. He’s reformatting the encryption matrix while I draw up a GUI using visual basic to sub-route your IP address. 

Everything will be sorted out shortly. Just hang on. 

I wrote an article about The Avengers to come out the day Iron Man 3 came out, and an article about Star Trek to come out the day Into Darkness came out.

Their traffic combined is still less than the traffic for an article I wrote about Jurassic Park 20 years after it came out.

Moral of the story? The internet is weird, and Jurassic Park kicks ass.
