1. Limewire: This is probably the biggest BS program there is. On any given day, I can enter any artist/song name into the search field only to receive 10-15 “Get Laid Now!” hits, 5-10 “_____ gets punked!” ones, and 3-4 hits for content that was actual relevant to what I was searching for. No, I do not want to get laid and, no, I’m not interested in downloading whatever .exe file that magically pops up when you click said search result. This programme sucks, stop being a wuss and move on to torrents.

2. Gimp: Look, I know people use and enjoy this program, but that’s mainly for two reasons. The first reason is that it’s free and the second reason is because it’s all these people have ever used. How many people have you seen start out in Photoshop and then switch to Gimp? None. Just as my grandmother swears by her crappy greeting card software, people swear by Gimp. In my opinion, is the worst example of open-source. Sure, if you’re a good artist you can make do with Gimp. But for people starting out, Gimp is one of the worst things to start out using. Let me do you all a favour (those of you who use it), go to the Adobe site and download the CS3 trial. I hate to say it, but I have never seen any really good work come out of Gimp. Please, please stop using it.

3. Norton Anti-virus: As if this couldn’t be the utmost worst choice in virus protection programs, it is seen on millions of computers. Symantec’s host of overall useless programs like “Crash Guard” and “Anti-Bot” only exist to usurp money from middle-aged computer-illiterate morons who think that they will undoubtedly be victims of identity theft if they do not shell out money to this evil corporation. Better yet, if any of its patrons receives an inkling of wisdom and decides to choose another virus protection product, Norton stonewalls the action by disallowing the Unistall software from removing many of its components. Cheap. Very cheap.

4. Windowblinds: I know most of you will not like this as my fourth choice, but too bad. Windowblinds is a rubbish product that follows the same tactics as Symantec when it comes to attempting to uninstall the program. Windowblinds is the type of program that your little brother installs on your computer because he wants to have the UltimateNinja3000 skin to appear in red and black everywhere ad nauseum. You curse at him and attempt to uninstall the program so that he can no longer toy around with the blessed familiarity of the Windows XP default silver skin ONLY TO REALISE THAT IT WON’T UNINSTALL. Well, that’s super. As if things couldn’t get any worse, he’s now found the icon unpackager and Stardock. Thanks a lot, jerks.

5. AOL Instant Messanger: It is the year 2008. How about you make a New Year’s resolution for yourself to evolve from the primitive instant messaging service known as AIM to the ultimately superior one known as MSN. Yes, I know that leaving behind that certain cute emoticon with the wagging tongue and cute shiny eyes will be hard, but you’ll ultimately become a better person for it. Even better, there will be something called privacy in this new-and-improved instant messaging service. Believe it or not, people who are not on your buddy list can’t actually stalk you like they can on AIM! That world has become a better place ever since AOL lost its stranglehold on internet users. Make the most of it.

There’s my list. Do you think any others should/shouldn’t be on here?

YES, MEIN FÜHRER, I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT WEBSITE DESIGN ISSUES EVER AGAIN. *kicks heels together* HEIL!

The players depress me even more each day.

She replied with “r u being sarcastic?” and I told her that childhood malnutrition is not a joking matter. Horrid wench.

While doing a few quests in Canifis, I noticed a very peculiar set-up of the town. What I found there was HORRID and OFFENSIVE that I had to write this blog entry to tell you all how I’m on a mission to boycott Canifis forever. You shall see my reasons in a moment. As I walked through the town, I noticed that there was an NPC named “Svetlana”. I thought Oh, that’s awesome! A Russian NPC! How quickly my excitement faded. As it turns out, there are several NPCs with Russian names in Canifis, but when you examine them you get a rather unpleasant surprise:

“Seems a bit of a drama queen”.

A bit of a drama queen, eh? So all of us Russian women are just drama queens who secretly turn into werewolves when you attack us? We just sort of, I don’t know, have nothing better to do than to create drama and aimlessly walk around a swampy village according to Jagex. Here’s another:

“He keeps calling me comrade”.

Oh, right. Because all Russians are obviously commies who sit around drinking vodka all day saying, “AHH KOMRADE, ZIS IZ VEDDY GOOD VODKA. IZ BETTER ZAN ZAT CAPITALIST GARBAGE YOU AMERIKANS DRINK, DA?” That’s right, we’re all just a bunch of communist werewolf weirdos, don’t mind us!

“A travelling man. Are those fleas?”

Fleas? So now we don’t wash? We’re just a bunch of dirty gypsy communist werewolf drama queens? Well you know what, you’d stink too if you had to live in Canifis! Might I also add that ALL of these NPCs are hostile whenever you try to make conversation with them. You might say that “Oh, but MQ! It’s because they’re werewolves and they hate humans!” Wrong! It’s because Jagex thinks we’re all a bunch of anti-social overly-aggressive jerks. Let me introduce you to Irina, another participating citizen of the anti-Russian campaign that Jagex has founded.

“I bet she works out”.

Oh does she? We’re just a bunch of steroid-ridden women who are drama queens as a result of the influx of male hormones into our bodies? That probably explains why Jagex has made us all morph into WEREWOLVES when attacked. Oh, oh, oh, let me guess: we got the werewolf ability when Chernobyl happened.

In essence, Jagex has a rather peculiar view of Russians as being communists, masculine (the women), drama queens, poor, dirty, aggressive, and simple-minded. LET ME ASK YOU THIS, ANDREW GOWER: WHO WAS THE FIRST COUNTRY TO SEND SOMEONE OUT INTO SPACE? That’s what I thought.

More Russian NPC descriptions:
Vera: “She seems sure of herself”.
Yuri: “He’s staring at the moon”.
Georgy (which is actually more of a Bulgarian name): “A simple villager”.
Nikita: “The woman”. (Sorry, Nikita is actually a boy’s name.)
Zoja: “A healthy villager”. (You mean she escaped Chernobyl??)
Lev: “A tough looking villager”. (Yeah, you better watch out Andrew.)
Yadviga: “A well off villager”. (Her names means “wealthy”, that’s the only reason they say that!)
Sofiya: “A wise villager”. (They’re just saying that because it’s the meaning of her name.)
