Honkey Kong: I has no lunch. ***Wunsick tries to cram about 5 or 6 chicken nuggets through the intarwebz Wunsick: Damn! "Nugget connection actively refused by remote machine" Honkey Kong: Wunsick: Open your ports! Wunsick: Heh Honkey Kong: If I get hungry, I think I’ve got a can of mac & cheese in my backpack. Wunsick: Cool Honkey Kong: I know I have some form of canned food in there, anyway. Wunsick: That’s good, because I am having issues converting nuggets to byte arrays.

Actually, I don’t even think this stick is worth a full review. So, here’s your review. The Shaft sucks. It’s a shitty joystick made of shitty plastic with shitty membrane buttons. The stick itself is a screw covered with plastic, with a ball screwed down on top of it. Don’t fall for the hype. It might be OK for stuff that doesn’t require fast reflexes, like beat-em-ups and arcade-style overhead shooters, but it SUCKS for fighting games. Naturally, all the marketing for this device implies that it’s awesome for fighting games. Don’t waste your money. For less than the cost of one of these pieces of shit, you can buy real arcade controls from Happ and build your own arcade stick that will work much better.
I’ve never been much for writing full game reviews on blogs, but as THQ’s marketers contacted me and asked me to review this game, I figured I might as well give it a shot. Bear in mind that this is the first game in the MX Vs. ATV series that I have reviewed, so I am looking at this from a fresh perspective, as opposed to someone who is a veteran of the series. As of this writing, I have been playing the game for about three weeks, which I feel is plenty of time to form an opinion on it.
As some of you know, Ian Santiago, the artist for The Angry Dome, enjoys making animated shorts in his spare time, when he’s not drawing our comics. (Heh, not drawing our comics.) Surprisingly, I haven’t seen any real announcement of his latest cartoon, so I’m doing a cross-post to my blog (HonkeyKong.Org), and The Angry Dome (TheAngryDome.Net) in the hopes that people will go watch the cartoon and vote 5 on it. (Also in the hopes that people will realize this is a cross-post, and both sites will gather visitors)
A funny little script that a friend of mine wrote after a suggestion on 4chan grew into an annoyingly tedious process. Generate a bunch of fake band names and album names, along with album covers, and have fun toying with indie rock snobs with them. And the best part, some of the generated albums are downright amusing.
While this may not be of interest to 90% of my userbase, I really don’t care, because it’s relevant to the one person in my life who matters more than anything or anyone else. Today is the 5th birthday of my daughter, Ivy Renee Souders. She came into my life on January 8, 2003, and things haven’t been the same since. She’s the reason for everything I do, and as unfortunate as it is that I can’t be with her today, the reason I’m 1,000 miles away in Georgia instead of in Missouri is because I’m doing what I can to take care of her. I just hope that she understands that. Happy Birthday, Ivy. I love you, and I miss you very much. I’ll call you tonight after work, and I hope the presents I bought you arrived OK.
Wow, I’m blogging like crazy these past few days compared to the rate I’ve been doing it for the past few months. Anyway, I was browsing through Infendo, and found this awesome video, and of course, I had to share it with the five or so readers that I have.
