Are humans programmed to criticize? To dislike and question everything?
If a book is made into a movie, it's quickly dismissed by those who feel "it isn't like the book."
If a video game is made into a movie, people shun it.
If a movie had a video game adaption, it's rarely praised.
Do you really dislike Justin Bieber and Twilight or is it because the Internet and Reddit told you so? Have you even listened to or watched the aforementioned?
Why is that?
I'm a huge SimCity fan. Maxis makes really fun games (and we'll forget Spore) that are highly additcting (The Sims). The last iteration of the series, SimCity 4, was released almost 10 years ago. So it's not a surprise when I heard the news there would be a new SimCity 5 coming out in March, I kicked a baby and sucked on his mom's teet.
I was fortunate enough to land an early Beta access to the game. I got to sit down and play it for five hours straight. This extended hands-on time gave me a better sense of SimCity than ever before. I recorded my gaming sessions and posted them below. It gave me a few points about the game and what it offers.
The tutorial.
Gameplay with Zombie Attack!
Yep, I've found my next game purchase.
The Last Meals of Inmates on Death Row.
After looking through this album of deliciousness--albeit, with a side of gruesomeness--I was left wondering what I would choose as my last meal, considering the budget of $60. I couldn't think of anything more original than a fat juicy steak, fried chicken wings, a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger, a meat-lover's deep dish pizza, a bottle of Coke, and cookies & cream ice cream for dessert.
So I was wondering, what would you guys choose?
I read this news article. It's pretty much a lady crashing her truck into a bar. I'll hold back all my comments regarding women behind the wheel. I fear of feminists knocking on my front door with curling irons, threatening to place it in my orifices that aren't curling iron friendly.
After watching this, naturally, I had to make this:
All work and no play make for a boring office environment. That's why you have someone like me in the office. Never will Asian Shrimp snacks be seen the same way after today.
Set your Laugh-O-Meter to "high." Here are some hilarious photos I've come across while browsing the Internet.
Jersey Shore? That's sooooo 2009! It's all about Korea town now! If you enjoy watching drunk Asians and Koreans, you will enjoy this. Maybe.
Here are a few of those pages.
I try to floss my teeth in the bathroom at work after lunch as often as possible. So I stand by the sink for a couple minutes. Recently, I've been observing the bathroom users. Thankfully, almost everyone washes their hands before they leave. Or maybe it's just because I'm standing there.
Therefore, I propose the idea that we place a mannequin in every restroom to promote better hygiene practices.
I'm the Jane Goodall of male bathroom behavior.

What's something you disliked, but enjoyed/accepted over time?
Growing up, I disliked the taste of coffee and beer. I would occasionally take a sip from my dad whenever he drank, just to experiment and to see why it was so popular. As I grew older, I started to enjoy both beer and coffee, but more so for their effects. Now, I do enjoy various types of beer and drink my coffee black (just like how I like my women).
Ah, so ye came back for more, aye? I be talkin' like a pirate, now I can't stop! Well, feast your eyes on a bounty of photos and a special motioned picture down below. YARRR!.

Have you been on a cruise? What did you think of it and would you do it again?
2012 was one of my most memorable years. Plenty of traveling, experiencing what may be the most amazing wedding ever, making new friends that I can call close, Linsanity, and plenty of alcohol in between. Here are those photos.
