Lake Shore Driving
Last night I had what I would describe as a cyberpunk moment. We were on the highway going south from Chicago at midnight. There was a night-vision road in front of me like in Ghost in The Shell as Burial, Milanese and Aaron Spectre play. Chicago has been fun so far. Saw the Sears Tower, […]

Declare Autonomy! Don’t let them do that for you!
” Well firstly I’m not seeking independence. I’m not seeking complete separation from China. Tibet’s a landlocked country – materially backward. Of course spiritually very rich – I think very rich – but spirituality alone cannot fill our stomachs. So we need money. We need more material development. For that reason if we remain within […]

Torture playlist
It has come to my attention that music is being used as a torture device. If for any reason I go missing on the count of me being mistaken as Persian, Turkish, Arab, Indian or in fact being Pakistani (a convenient combination off all the former), and wearing a Casio G-shock, the AK47 of watches, […]

Today is Cheethursday
Cheetah Guard. If you lie, It wants to see a liter cup right in the sky. Somewhere along the line it will make a flyer for you. Your own personal cheetah. Someone to guard your lair. Someone who’s there. Feeling Capone I’d like to own Fur and bone guarding my throne better than a fevered […]

Will Wright can shoot bees at you.
I totally forgot about Game Developer’s Conference this year. Will Wright speaks again this year with cool facts and stuff. A self-important cynical British guy talks quickly in front an audience. Yahtzee later accuses the audience of looking at his bird. The fact that elements of Bioshock’s plot are critiques of faceless voiceless FPS protagonists […]

Dis my module, Boris. Москаль Панк-Жопа Сука!!!
A long time ago, I predicted for WMTU’s 50th anniversary that I would die before 2050 in a gang shooting at the International Space Station. We are now one step closer to that day.

Godspeed You! and Good Luck
This is dissapointing. And to think, if these artists decided to put their heads together again, They could have expressed their issues in the breathtaking style they are known for. I really think it could have worked for them. But Good News Everyone!!! A Silver Mt. Zion has dates in the Midwest during our Spring […]
