LITTLE BIG PLANET 3
LITTLE BIG PLANET 3 MOTHERFUCKERS!
E3, beeyotches!
So far, so predictable. The Xbox camp's keynote consisted mainly of Halo (yawn) and Call of Duty (double yawn), but there was a new Tomb Raider announced (interesting...), a new game made by the ...
Rik Mayall - dead.
"Well, it's the season of goodwill and peace on Earth, so I thought I'd chop both its feet off, rip out its innards, strip it, shove an onion up its arse and bung it in a very hot place for four ...
Okay, look.
I understand that love is ageless. I get that. I'm with a woman who is twenty years older than me myself. But this is some seriously fucked-up shit, dawg. WARNING: SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP AT 18 SECO...
E E E
E3 is about to kick off, and there's a lot to be excited for this year. I'm personally excited for Bethesda's presentation; rumours abound that Fallout 4 or Doom 4 will finally be unveiled. Rumou...
Fake Brit
So we just re-ran Buffy the Vampire Slayer and we're almost at the end of Angel, and as an English couple we were amused (and often horrified) at Whedon's almost maniacal insistence on having Ame...
Even more stuff
I'm starting to hate the taste of nicotine gum. Whilst I'm not writing about it, I am trying to lose a bit of weight, and I'm down to 14 stone and 2 ounces. One more stone and I'll be happy. Ge...
Friends/Bookmarks
Hey, how come we can see who has us on their friends list, but not who has us on their bookmarks list? I know that when I add people on bookmarks I add them on friends too, but not everyone does ...
Heat
Weather's getting hot as Hell. Glad I gave myself a new mohawk today. Having hair was just... no. Gem didn't like it, but she can sod off, because that's just the way my hair has to be. Not a h...
It's hard
It's difficult for me to be a nicer person when the people I'm trying to be nice to are fucking idiots. Yes, I think there's nothing wrong with being gay, so I can't agree with your homophobic v...
You stupid, stupid bitch
Vaccinate your Goddamn kids, you fucking idiot.
March 25th, 2016
BHC4, bitches.
Music 2.0
Jesus Christ, this was a trip to Hell and back. Let's try that again. Quick disclaimer: Don't tell me that you dislike any of the music I have posted here, because I don't care. I always used ...
Final Fantasy X
You know what? I fucked up somewhere along the line. I know that Evrae is a really hard fucking boss, but there's no way in Hell it should be able to defeat me that easily, so I've decided to do ...
Today I Learned:
Apparently, you can make folders on your PS Vita to put your little game bubbles in. I didn't know this until just now. Thank Christ for that. This may be a great example of a first-world problem...
Fucking *imbecile*. (Warning: Pissed-off rant)
I've said it before, and yet some people don't seem to be able to grasp it, so here it is for one last time. I don't need your motherfucking approval on anything. If you don't like the things I ...
Revolting Cocks
This, my friends, is the mood I'm in today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-43uRzkfGQE
Dammit
A quarter past four in the morning and I'm still not sleepy. Listening to this particular piece of badassness here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNUM0cAMBTU I wish I could sleep.
If my journal has an intro-credits soundtrack...
... it's this song right fucking here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELW-1xQffLM
OMG OCD OMG
I understand that, nowadays, it's "cool" to be a "geek". I hate it completely, since when I was at school being geeky was a one-way ticket to the hospital, and especially since being a "geek" see...
Lulz
Gay marriage
Yeah, I'm going there. Today, I tweeted the following: "Last time, idiots - if you're not gay, gay marriage doesn't affect you in any way, shape or form. Leave 'em to it." A few minutes after th...
RoboCop remake (spoilers, or whatever)
Okay, so it didn't completely suck. The intro was badass, and Samuel L Jackson plays his part to perfection, as do Keaton and Oldman. No, my main problem with the movie is RoboCop himself. RoboC...
Reporting in
Haven't really got too much to write about these days. Not a lot is going on at the moment, and I'm really not interested in much past Borderlands 2. Life would be so boring if I weren't a gamer....
Borderlands 2 secret Minecraft area
So I found this: JESUS H CHRIST: Suck it, bitch: To the victor, the spoils: Nice head, no? More to come soon, including more BL2 car accidents...
Book Description
Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology. Attention is given to both present technologies, like genetic engineering and information technology, and anticipated future ones, such as molecular nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
The enhancement options being discussed include radical extension of human health-span, eradication of disease, elimination of unnecessary suffering, and augmentation of human intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities. Other transhumanist themes include space colonization and the possibility of creating superintelligent machines, along with other potential developments that could profoundly alter the human condition. The ambit is not limited to gadgets and medicine, but encompasses also economic, social, institutional designs, cultural development, and psychological skills and techniques.
