Ramblings 003

Things You Will Never See

..but if you do, savor those moments.


  • software that does not have "tabs"
  • a company that does not have the words "forward", "core", or "solutions" in either their marketing or corporate literature
  • a posting by Tycho of Penny Arcade that is not full of ten dollar words for no reason whatsoever
  • an upcoming rpg or strategy game that is truly turn-based
  • an online forum in which at least one honest question by a new member has not been rudely dismissed (sometimes with the use of insults and expletives) by a self-important jackhole who posts for "points"
  • a japanese anime where an angry person does not use the "sideways judo chop" when they're ranting. you know what I'm talking about. sometimes seen in videogames as well.
  • a reality show that doesn't involve this formula: introduction, competition, drama cam, alliances, voting, gayness
  • any upcoming action or horror movie from an American studio that doesn't use friggin CGI
  • a whole year without a friggin Pixar movie in theatres
  • companies that are "slashing prices due to the tough economy" ever admitting those are the prices they should have been all these years in the first place
  • Alex Jones (the hypocrite lie monger) shutting the **** up
  • the Mayan Apocalypse
  • an E3 that doesn't feel like a series of infomercials by Vince of Sham-Wow
  • parents that can spell their kids' names right
  • parents that demand their kids master the English language first – I’d like to avoid having to decipher crap like this in a company email years from now:  “Yu have to, getthe riport too me. soon?”
  • skinny (and I mean skinny) chicks being shunned for the freaks they are
  • the Democrats ever making a decision before they lose the majority for another 20 years in house, senate or state assembly
  • a handheld digital dice roller that can handle d6, d10, d20, d100 etc
  • complete GURPS campaigns sold at retail stores as opposed to the stacks of "source books" that are the only things available
  • a shoe store in which less than 90% of the selection is women's – I’d like more choices than loafer, sneaker, sandal, boot – located on an END CAP because they fit there
  • an indoor shopping mall with a bookstore
  • an indoor shopping mall where less than 90% of the stores are clothing, jewelry or department stores
  • kids learning to play guitar instead of Guitar Hero
  • parents who emphasize the importance of reading instead of dropping their kids in front of Dora for hours on end and wondering why their kid can't spell "tomato" at age 6
