Well, Fuck.

IN REALTIME, TOO!

Just before the race started, too late to change my bet… My horse’s odds jumped from 66-1 to 100-1.

SHIT. But it’s not the end of the world, the horse which won today was 100-1.

THEY’RE OFF. My horse is coming up the back apparently… I’m 4th..ish. But being overtaken. Bollocks. And City Theatre is doing well. Fuck.

As you can see, gambling makes me swear alot.

Now I’m 7th place. FUCK FUCK FUCK. KEEP GOING. OR ATLEAST BEAT THAT BASTARD CITY THEATRE.

Saviero is doing well. oooo, I think I’m catching up. YES. CITY THEATRE IS DOING BAD. Saviero could win, it’s leading now.

COCKMUNCHERFUCKNIBBLES. We’re doing badly. I’ve lost my horse too, TALK ABOUT CAESAR’S RETURN. NOBODY CARES ABOUT LIDAR.

Sitting Tennant won at 66-1 atleast. Let’s hit refresh on the page to see how badly I did. Lucky Him. I didn’t even think about that one. Will have results in 60 seconds….

So this year, there were some big winners. 100-1, 66-1 and 66-1 again. And why are they talking about having Curry for Dinner on the Coral Aintree betting radio. GIVE ME MY RESULTS. STOP TALKING YOU FUCKING PIKEES.

Ah here we go.  … … ..

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

So I missed the Grand National…big whoop.

Yes, very big whoop. Words cannot describe how disgruntled I am for not betting. The horse which won, was at 100-1, so if I was smart enough to bet £10 on that horse, I would have won £1000. The internet’s gritty times new roman font can’t do any justice to how rage-ridden I am for forgetting. I wouldn’t have minded betting and losing, because atleast I kept up my yearly tradition of betting…

So, as a replacement, I’ve just stuck £5 each way on Caesar’s Return for the 5.35pm at Aintree, coming in at 66-1. My mind says bet on City Theatre, because odds are decent, and it’s quite similar to Caesar’s Return kit wise and horse-wise…But my gut and heart say Caesar’s Return. So Caesar’s Return it is!

Now, City Theatre may be Irish, and i’ve always had good luck with Irish horses, but…Caesar’s Return…Has a good feeling.

Infact, maybe I should have bet on both. too late now, 12 minutes to go.

Come on Caesar’s Return, because I will be thoroughly pissed off if you lose. And bear in mind, I’m already thoroughly pissed off for missing the main Grand National. I’ll post back to see whether I won or lost.

Why?

The reason why I’ve done no posts for a while, is because I have nothing to post on…

So i’ve ripped out good ol’ worms armegeddon for old times sake which I’ll play a tad, and I just installed Bioshock. I’m borrowing it off my brother in law, and although extremely old, and everyone’s played it, I’ll write about it in a way nobody has written about it before! And that will win me originality points!

Until then…Here is an advice dog generator to keep you amused.

I just wish my battlefield heroes thingy would be accepted

It’s likely i’m going to buy a new game soon though, I just haven’t been bothered. And a sound card. Mine has been stuttering recently a little bit…

Now you too can be a nazi and deny entry to the land of the free.

Thanks to http://www.blueservo.net/ You can watch live video streams all day, and keep an eye out for illegal immigrants and drug smuggling. Texas has become a big brother state. I registered, and thanks to Opera being the lost reject of the internet browsers, I have to resort back to IE..again to use it. I registered, because those Big Brother Commie Texans want to know everything about everyone, but of course with false credentials. Bringing up a dirty piece of history in those yanks past, I’m under the pseudonym of Jim Crow. Age 25.

But before I started, I want to pedantically analyze the banner.

The guy on the computer…either has poor eyesight or is a bloody no-lifing cock. Just look at his stance… If you were watching the same patch of land all day you’d be mildly bored. Next up, is the stereotype “sneaky” posed group in a single-file line. It needs classic pinkpantheresque musak to go with it. And then theres just the canal of Texas. Moving on.

hmmm…Which camera to choose…they make it like a game..  ”Camera 161
This area is known of illegal drug activity. If you see people crossing the water in this area please report activity.”

“Camera 898
During the day watch for subjects on foot carrying large bags. During the night time hours watch for activity involving lights from the middle of the screen to the bottom.”

I picked Camera 185, because it was a nice camera shot with good centering. So i’m watching right now. Nothing’s happening. Still nothing.Wait… Wait…. OH MY GOD!! RIGHT THERE! CONTACT THE KKK OR WHOEVER RUNS THIS SITE!! Oh…wait. That’s a tree. Nothing here, this is boring. Lets pick this one, where I must report anything happening from right to left. Well, it does look bloody hot down there, I can see the heatwaves. And it’s an extremely misty camera too. However… THERE’S A PORTALOO, THERE’S A DAMN DIRTY MEXICAN IN THERE! STOP HIM! (Sorry, Mexican people.)

Now to report this info. “Report suspicious activities button.” It tells me to describe what I witnessed. This is what I wrote, despite it being a lie.

A mexican guy walking from left to right (individual.) He looked pretty bad off, surely you can let just the one in? I know us Brits have little in common with you yanks down south in Texas, and it’s unlikely you even know where any other country is on the map, but you guys have spirit, and if you have even the slightest shred of human decency towards your fellow man, you would let him through. He could get a job as a bartender or something, that boosts the economy which you jerks have buggered up for the whole world, putting us all into recession and all.

you owe it to us. Muchos Gracias Amigos.  Hopefully I’ll get a better response than when I emailed Boris Johnson.

On TF2, I won’t post about the scout update until I’ve unlocked and tested the weapons, and maybe I’ll document some of the achievments. If there’s a tauntkill one, (which I don’t believe there is) I vow to get it not on an acheivment server, or sleepy sniper.

Alright, alright, another post.

Before I start, the long wait was because my internet severely broke, but anywho….

I got a nifty £20 HMV voucher, and I plan to buy either Burnout or FEAR 2. I played the demo of FEAR 2 because it didn’t take eternity to download like Burnout, and it worked when it did download. Quite good, and I like the graphics. The engine, not so much, but the graphics are quite smooth yet dark.

On the other hand, as much as I loved burnout on the ol’ PS2, the fact that the routes aren’t set, meaning slightly less explosions might make the game a bit bland, especially with keyboard controls. GRID wore thin very, very fast because instead of me frantically enjoying twiddling my thumbs very quickly to make swift manoevers, using a keyboard meant I was leaning back, bored, counting the laps. Also, it was far too easy. Really, I played on the hardest difficulty and it was still to easy.

Not to mention the amount of germans on multiplayer, it was almost as bad as Counterstrike…

More news, I got new speakers, Creative T3100s, and I like them because they look quite pretty, and the base is sublime. I could give them a proper review like people do for speakers, but who the hell cares about how they’re packaged?

Bad news, I accidentally somehow deleted my whole French GCSE folder. The entire thing. Lucky some of it is saved onto my memory stick. I swapped to Opera after Firefox proved why it’s the safest browser to use- It crashes 6/10 times for no reason.

Seems like right now I’m not posting anything interested, i’m just rambling on about things I’ve done and plan to do. So I need to go down to the shops and buy some deoderant and shampoo, and some blu-tack.

Yup, definitely just rambling. But I came up with this very interesting question, Does it count as child porn if you photoshop a child’s head onto a legal person’s nude body?

Ponder that one through while I gander on about other things. I desperately need to buy the two newest futurama mini-movies, Into the Wild Green Yonder, and Bender’s Game. Then I can review them. Hopefully it will be better then Beast With A Billion Backs, which was only mildly amusing. I give it a 5/10 for my ridiculously high standards!

So I apologise for this boring post which isn’t a review, or anything remotely readable, but hopefully I might have something good soon. such as some of my photography if anyone likes to look at pictures.

a few bland reasons why to RSS Feed me

Hopefully the RSS feed button works, but some reasons why you should RSS feed me instead of checking me every so often-

1. It’s easier.
2. You use valuable time to check my blog which you could be using searching /t/ or /b/
3. it somehow puts less pressure onto me to post- as I know people might come here looking for a post while if you had RSS I would be content knowing nobody looks at this.
4. It’s really simple, providing the RSS works!
5. I don’t have any more reasons

Spam attacks

Well, it’s not a spam attack as such, because it’s one guy. But- One guy is enough!

Commenting on my post on Scrubs, it wrote

Hi Roadrunner
I find your blog when I search “Roadrunner’s PC Gaming Blog, But a bit of everything really” in Ovary, and enjoyed reading your post about “Scrubs Season 8 is Appauling“.
You can find more information about the same in ovary search engine. you can search for any particular web page by entering the title or keyword, you can search up to ten search engine at one time from the Ovaru interface.
I find your blog really interesting: plenty of things to discover here!

His search engine sounded like ovary. I don’t want to advertise them so if you want the link head over to google and type in Ovary! Thats right, Google! Actually, speaking of google, if you want to save some energy, use “Blackle“

-Blackle saves watt time because it uses mainly black pixels, black by definition means no light, and hence uses less energy.
-Blackle’s search quality can be considered slightly lower then Google, but if you are doing a specific search, it works perfectly.

There are a couple of downsides though- But not major downsides!

-Blackle does not show links to “Google images/gmail/video/ect.)
-Blackle does not have the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button
-Blackle does not offer in other languages (as far as I know.)

And it saves energy, therefore cuts down on your electricity bills. Because if its saving energy, nobody cares. If its saving money, THE WORLD IS AT STAKE! I’m no mathematician, but it does save a hefty amount of energy compared to Google and the other google variations.

However, this only saves power if you use a CRT monitor. On LCD it uses more power.

Scrubs Season 8 is Appauling

I’m not just off on one of my rants of endless cynicism and poor grammar. I’ve now seen the first 6 episodes of Scrubs season 8, and each one is crappier then the last. Carla has less lines.Infact, Carla has vanished off the planet.

Scrubs has had it’s time. Now it’s just stale. JD’s amusing naivity has worn thin and is now just irratating. Of course that said, it doesn’t mean it’s completely dull and crap. there are a few good jokes, all of them coming from the Janitor…Speaking of which, he is boycotted from an episode for some reason…

Anywho, Dr Kelso shouldn’t have been made into a retiree, what’s the point? He served a brilliant character being a miserly, money whoring bastard, and now he’s opening up to become a friendly, kind old man. Yet he just loiters around the hospital for the whole time. All realism has been sapped out.

And for some reason, the cameraman has fucked up and now everything has gone all hollywood; plastic people with more makeup on thier faces then the chinese industry can produce per month. They’re faces are too smooth and too unrealistic. If they were real doctors having to be up early, with irrational hours, they’d be tired or atleast not as smooth? On the topic of face-smoothness, the fact JD has grown a beard, ruins it.

He keeps the naivity of his character, but grows a beard, and these two factors fight each other like a schizophrenic rapist.  But what really did it, what truly and honestly pissed me off, was the fact that Dr. Cox is being nice to JD. WHY?! Of course his hilarious minirants of hatred get old, but it doesn’t make them unimaginative. When he opens up to be friendly to JD in one scene, I just couldn’t bear to watch anymore. It’s too cringeworthy. But I did watch more, only to find more points to complain about.

There aren’t even plots in the episodes…I just watched an episode when an unrealisitic depthless JD talks to an unrealistic depthless extra who can’t connect to anything, and they spend the episode whining about thier girl problems together. Screw this, I’m going to watch House!

But I dunno, watch it for yourself, decide whether you like it or not. But I’m sure 99% of people who read this will agree, it’s had it’s time, it’s not as good as it once was.

Happy Chinese New Year and Introducing a new category

Chinese New Year. I went into chinatown in london with my good SLR camera, and a digital camera. I got 4 shots with the digicam, and 72 shots with the SLR. Well, here are my 3 shots, and when I develop the films, i’ll scan the photos in and show you my satirical photo-skills. Infact, There were loads of photographers there, but they all had ultra expensive and fancy looking kits, while they probably don’t realise that doesn’t make thier shots look any better. I just went in my humble Pentax Camera, and fired away.

Being a kid, it was easy to sneak past the security and get up close to the dragon, and it was entertaining too. Next time i’ll make a fake press pass to get onto the mainstage, so I can greet Boris Johnson with a communist poster with him on it, made as a pasta collage. I didn’t wait around too long, I left at about 3pm because it was getting dark, and because I didn’t have thin gloves, I wore no gloves, and I thought my hand was about to fall off due to frostbite. (The effect of cross-breeding a vampire and a yeti.) Actually it snowed a bit before I left and after I got back, and because I ran out of money on my bus pass, the dick wouldn’t allow me to top up on the bus, and I thought, “Fuck it, fuck you, and fuck your whole bus driving corporation, i’m walking home you douche.” But being far too British and polite I just got off the bus and started walking home with a scarf wrapped tightly around my face looking at the floor in sadness.

Now before I post these digital camera pictures, i’m not going to lie. They’re shit. I’m going to retouch the only good one in photoshop and make a neat little photomanip. Other than that, my SLR shots are in black and white. Yes, I prefer colour but when you’re making a bulk display, if everything is in colour it loses its power and makes it look more like a photo album. If I scanned in a few good shots of the black and white pictures, then added colour into certain parts like in that crap movie Sin City, it would look fantastic I think. However because I develop my own pictures instead of leaving them in a shop for a week or so, this could take a while.

So those are my worst 3 photos. Also, does anyone care whether or not there’s a message if you hover the mouse over a photo? I’ve done it for 99% of the images on my blog, but I doubt anyone looks.

Hmmmm…What else before I go…..

I swapped from Google Chrome to Firefox. I was just so sick and tired of not being able to access youtube without swapping to IE, and couldn’t click on all the amusing links off Steam Chatrooms, so I’m with Firefox now. I like some of the add-ons, like Cooliris for flickr, which just displays pictures in an innovative and cool looking way, but there’s too much going on at the top. I just want a thin tab bar, bookmark bar and navigation bar, and I’m done. Firefox’s are too big, as if to say “LOOK, LOOKIE HERE, I HAVE A NAVIGATION BAR LOOK AT MEEE!”

And I just fixed my grammar too. Well…some of it.

4Chan sucks

Well, it sort of does, but if you get past the porn and smut on /b/ you might find a mildly amusing photo. It gives you a nice sense of joy you’re above the memes and smut to find a mildly hilarious conspiracy on cats, with no jokes going “AHAHA CAT = PUSSIES” Because people on /b/ are beyond that, while not posting penis pictures, they’d instead go for something slightly more higher brow.

Yeah, to some it’s as bad as it looks and they’ll never try it, and I understand that view, Because i’m like that with WoW. Here’s an example of that somethingwhichisntsmut point-

See not bad? American Politics related.  But really, going onto 4chan makes me feel shame and guilt, just because of the taboo. Hovering over my bookmarks to click it is like me putting on some khaki uniform, a helmet, and running in going “GET OVER THAT SHINGLE” with bullets whistling all around me. Saving Priavte Ryan style of course

Next up, i’m sort of known as a cyncial young chap, who nobody knows the deeper layer of heartwarming love underneath. Unfortunately, that layer is buried deeper then the biscuit crumbs of a 50ft trifle. So when I describe something as cute, or heartwarming, or lovemelting etc, it means something. This article made me feel a feeling i’ve never, ever felt before. Ever.  That postman does have a offputting smile though

Infact, can anyone name one evil postman, apart from the IRA postman who make letterbombs, and the one who was arrested a couple of years ago because he stole people’s private and confidential mail?

Not going to change my mind of eating meat though. Speaking of eating meat, I get to work in a vetenarian’s office for a day. Just thought I’d post that on the internet so 0.000000847% of the human race can see.

I think that’s my world percentage statistic anyway. Not a bad post today for a post when I had nothing particular to write about. OH FUCK, FORGOT ABOUT THE NEW TF2 STUFF! Alright, I’ll dig into that tomorrow and possibly try once more to get the WordPress music uploadydoodle to work.
