You have to burn the rope

If this image is down, please tell me in the comments so I can steal another one

Nothing much to talk about except that I'm busy playing TF2 after the update. Gotta earn all those new hats right?

So I've decided to talk about my travels around the internet. This week: The greatest game in the world.

I discovered this game during my travels in the land of Youtube. The locals nearly worshiped it, each one with a shrine to it on their channel. I had to do many trials before they posted a link to it. I had to survive horrible walkthroughs, watch terrifying vlogs, and even participate in a "guest appearance" in a "The idiots of gmod" rip-off. I still wonder how I survived.
After passing the many, MANY trials the natives put me through, they finally let me into on of the game's many resting places; Newgrounds.com. I passed through the veil of a loading screen to a button that said "Click to start."
When my character spawned I awed at the amazing graphics. The complex controls were almost too hard to master, but eventually I got the hang of them. The weapons would have been WAY too powerful, had the enemies not been so tough.
I played for hours on end, crawling my way up to the final level. I quickly solved the maze, which lead to the final boss's resting place. Then I... well, I rather not spoil it for you. But it was the most EPIC fight in the history of video game fights, it took all my skill to defeat him. And I nearly died in the process.

So here's a link to "You have to burn the rope", A.K.A the greatest game in the world. Just be glad I didn't put you through the trials like I was.

I'm glad that you read this.
But how are you going to spend the rest of this day?
Maybe watch a video.
Maybe press refresh and read again.

Yes it's over now.
I didn't want to write a longer blog.
This is it I swear it's true. Oooo Ooo Ooo Oo.

Opera Review


So yes, I decided to try out the Opera Web browser. So I thought "Why not make a review on my blog? I'm under qualified, have no life, and have only 4-5 followers with one reader! I'm a perfect for reviewing stuff!" So here you go.

At first it reminded me of Google Chrome, the one time I used it. So, while looking at the fancy-pansy new page I noticed two things. One, it has REALLY smooth scrolling. Two, there was a little hints thing at the top of Opera site telling me that I can search using the navigation bar, so I searched "Dick in a box." The Youtube video loaded (what seamed) faster on Opera, but that might have been because I'm not used to it. But something strange happened. The video, text, and links loaded and worked, but everything else came 10 seconds later. This only happened once though. Later I tried portal Flash, which loaded a bit faster, but played the same.

After that, I decided to check out http://questionablecontent.net/ and ADVERTISEMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS. At least ad_block had a ready made list of things to block, but this only blocks certain ones, the rest you have to 'Add'. A nice feature though, is the little blue thing that appears in your navigation bar every time you load a page. It tells you how much of the page is loaded. There are also TONS of other cool things. But I don't like how it's set up. I like Navigation/Address, bookmarks, and tabs. Opera is Bookmarks, tabs, and navigation.

Still, it is better then Aol, and can have a decent fight against Internet Explorer (if you have a mod to block all viruses). There are WAAAAYYY to many fan-boys for Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox that it is impossible to find a non-bias test. Even I'm not sure which is better I would recommend it to anyone. Now, I feel like I'm cheating on Firefox. I'm going to go look up youtube videos on kittens with Firefox 3.#'s . You can get it here if you want this browser.

Libraries & Museums


First topic we will cover is Libraries & Museums. More or less, places where we store knowledge.
I always liked Libraries & Museums. They always had a mystery about them, like they were places where smart people go to drop their daily knowledge off after a hard day's learning and figuring stuff out. I never knew why people don't go to libraries more. That's where we locally store most public human knowledge. I guess it got beaten by the advent of the internet; which is better overall. But Libraries will never die, oh no no no. There's just something about holding a book in your hands, rather then hurting my eyes trying to read the incredibly bright text, that can't be replaced.
Now Museums are the best. They take the knowledge of the Library, and make it first hand, Or really First Hand*. But I always liked Museums, regardless of how they enforce their no-touch-because-you'll-damage-the-billion-dollar-rock. Though, almost anything over 150 years old bores the crap outta me. No really. We went to a museum about Revolutionary War and the toilets were all clogged after we left.
Books are amazing. I love them. My mother reads them, I read them. They can take my mind anywhere, 20,000 leagues under the sea or to a castle in England to learn Witchcraft and Wizardry. The only thing I hate is when they make a movie from a good book.
Harry Potter 3+ all sucked. They were gloomy, dark, and depressing really. I bet you the darkest moment in Harry Potter 1 is still brighter then the happiest moment in Harry Potter 3.

And Fuck you makers-of-the-Eragon-movie. I lost my faith in the movie world for 3 years after that. Fuck you. FUCK. YOU.

*Touch the glass and I'll blow your fucking head off.

Revolution (and Free Portal Link)


http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/
(Good until May 24th)

But other then Valve being Epic, I have a Xkcd comic for you to check out over there. This Comic will be what we will follow from this point on.
I want to build a relation ship with you guys. No really. NO! Really.
But before I can build a relationship, I need a better community that I can have a relationship with. And the key to that is having content people will want to read. The issue is, all the content people want to read is bull crap to me, so we need to create something better... something that will make links be posted from the Blogosphere to the deep, cluttered servers of private websites. We need people to be chatting about us (in a good way) on 4chan. We want Links in the description on Youtube, profiles mentioning us, we want groupies, facekbookers, tweeters, myspacers, bloggers, cartoonists, black, white, Asian, from Americans to Canadians, Europeans to Indians EVERYONE. We want the gamers to say "Hey man, check this epic blog" while recording their walkthroughs. We want the tangled jungles of the forums to have topics about us! We can, nay... WILL be the better blog of tomorrow. Today!
Today yes Today! This is the beginning, of a revolution. Today is the day, where we being the fight to make asuperepicblog the best damn blog on the internet. We were once a blog with me talking about a power-outage in my neighborhood, but we will become a blog that thousands, millions, even BILLIONS of people will look at. The entire internet will be reading the words that flow from my keyboard. There is only one problem... What to write about?
Everyone has different tastes, but what is one thing that everyone will like to read? This, my loyal followers, is the only thing in our way. So post a comment, and change the blogs of tomorrow.
