Wow. After a long night of digging much deeper than I should've on teh interwebz, I've lost all faith in the future of the human race. It's not just stupidity that I'm talking about, I'm talking about shock sites.

I'm definitely no stranger to the whole phenomena, but some things I've uncovered lately...just disgust me more than others I've known for a while. For example, a video of a woman plucking out her own eye and eating it. Yep. It was actually real. I'll speak no more of it. A VIDEO version of the infamous Tubgirl Once again, no more details.

Now, I'll go into a little history. The first shocking image I ever saw was probably either Goatse Tubgirl highballer, or a crime scene with a disembodied head on a spike on a fence, with the body flat on the ground. Back when I played CS:S religously, I saw many sprays that would be considered shocking. I was maybe 10 or 11 when I saw my first few, and I still have yet to be thoroughly disgusted by a picture or video. I don't necessarily like going to these types of sites, but if I'm bored and run out of gaming videos to watch, I might just look up something unpleasent.

Some new places I saw today were pretty daggone bad. The front page of a user-uploaded video shock sites featured a video with a guy naked, covered in barbed wire. I never made it past that first page. Oh, and I was looking for funny and amazing galleries on eBaumsworld last week, and one set of pictures showed various images from popular e-mails telling whether they were real or fake. One such picture was a picture used in the pain series called "wormeye". Pictures from a surgery where the goal was to remove a live worm from a patient's eye. It was one of the real pictures.

If you ever want to learn about shock sites in the U.S, this website lists and descripts tons of them. It is free from any NSFW-type imagery and videos, and the worst thing on there is just an ASCII version of Goatse Also, if you have a list with descriptions or something of the sort for ASIAN shcok sites, I will thank you. I've heard that they are about 10x as bad as the things we're used to in the States. I can believe that, I mean, just look at Korean, Japanese, and Chinese horror movies! Also, I've heard rumors about the BME Pain Olympics (a.k.a Hatchet vs. Genitals) video being fake, and also that the guy did it because of heroine. Can anyone confirm or deny these?

And to end this super happy blog, I might be getting a Japanese 360 so I can play far-eastern games in their original languages. And if you can get achievements for an English AND a Japanese version, it makes it even more worth the purchase. I don't know if you can, though. Can you? For instance, I have 1000/1000 points for the English version of Fuzion Frenzy 2. If I got the Japanese version on a console from overseas and got 1000/1000 still using my East East East account, would I get 2000 points, or would it only accept achievements from one region-specific version of the game? Any help will be accepted.

...will I think about Flatout. I absolutely hate that game. Well, I like the PC versions with NO ACHIEVEMENTS, but the 360 version is absolute crap. And yes, I am saying that mostly because I'm super pissed about getting only 130 points out of it before completely losing my mind, nearly snapping the disc in half, but realizing that I couldn't get another game from Gamefly if I did that. So, I sent it back.

It was really just one thing that was making me insane. One achievement says that you'll get 60 points for winning 8 Cups with Gold medals driving with only an unupgraded Chili, the worst car in the whole game. I completed 2 cups. On the first race of the 3rd, there is ALWAYS one little bastard who won't give up the m************ first spot.

Also, I have a blasting headache from a combination of the game and the unwanted roofwork being done as this is being typed. Every house in our townhouse area is having it done because no one except for the property owner wants it to happen. The old shingles were perfectly fine, but I guess...not? Anyway, they gave everyone a 1-day notice to take everything off your shelves or anything else that could fall during the work. We did that. Stuff still has fallen. For example, when I was in the bathroom, I could see little pieces of the ceiling falling into my pants around my ankles. That scared the pee out of me. As soon as I got out of there, I saw that the glass casing-type-stuff around the lightbulb in our hallway had fallen off. Luckily, no glass has broken yet.

On the upside of today, I got The Simpsons Game from Gamefly. It seems like the achievements are simple, but after Flatout (which was given a 6/10 difficulty for a 1000 out of 1000 on achieve360points.com), I can't trust my instincts anymore. Oh, and I also got some good Beautiful Katamari points in yesterday. Now, all that's left is to get 100% of the collection (I'm at 98%), complete 200 requests, play for 50 hours, and play for 100 hours. After that, I'll have my first 1250/1250 game. Cooool...

A blog title. Sometimes, it can be overplayed to the point of low expectations for what is to come once you actually read it. This one is better. Hopefully.

It's summer. I have no school and can wake up anytime I want, which became obvious when I woke up at 1:55 in the afternoon yesterday. However, I would much rather wake up around 7:00 in the morning because of what it would bring. I didn't know until Wednesday that G4 was airing its best shows ever at 8:00 everyday now. They are in a segment of the morning called "G4 Rewind" or "Replay" or whatever. I used to watch G4 for hours every day, but then it had to move channels so I could only watch it downstairs, the shows became boring, and I became underwhelmed. Well, now I can at least enjoy a couple hours worth of good programming.

For instance, on Wednesday I watched an old episode of Cheat featuring Shadow of the Colossus tips, and I remembered years ago watching that episode on its premiere night. 30 minutes later, the original machinima show came on: Portal. HELLZ YEAH. I used to watch it before there was any mention of a creative game with the same title. Sure, the quality isn't exactly perfect, but that isn't what's important. It brings me back, and I've said before that if I can have all my past memories at least experienced once this summer, I'll be happy. I'm off to a good start with this.

Aside from old shows, I've got something to decide yet again. Should I keep GTA for $40, or keep it pretty much the whole 3-month break in order to get 100% completion? I mean, I love the game and it's really the type of game with enough in it to warrant a purchase, but I don't have $40. I'll find an answer.

And on a final mention, if you'd like a sig or a profile layout made just for you that is made in the way that my blog header, banner and avatar are, I'm going back to taking requests. I might make myself a little something, even. But if you want something, just leave a comment here with a description of what you want or just send me a PM with the details.

Ugh. These fingers can hardly type after the torture they've been through. I just got done with a 10-hour or so marathon of non-stop GTA IV. In that time, I got up to about 45% of the game completed, multiple challenging achievements (Walk Free, One Man Army, Under The Radar...), and I managed to stay focused without sleeping last night.

Also, I'm just so glad to be back on Gamespot! Why? Well, because of the fair treatment of the helpful moderators. Well, not all of them are bad, you know. I love you Thorpe89, Sidburn19, PAJ, spazzx, Shame-us and a couple others. But really, I got suspended for 3 days for doing something I've done multiple times before, and those other times were much more blatant and received little or no punishment. Ok, never mind then.

Anywho, my 360 is definitely up and working now, so I can play online with everyone. Oh, and Braindeadracr, I beat your high score in the Rings Of Fire stunt in Flatout. Boo-yah.

Oh, and finally, how does veryone like my new profile layout? I made it with Apophysis and Photoshop, but I'm not sure about keeping it.

I have something worked out in my mind right now that would allow to partake in Gamespot AND XBL everyday for until the end of August!

So far, it's a little shaky, but it involves no 360-playing until either Noon or 1 PM(Central time) so I can see the shows I always watch during the summer so I can get some of my best memories back. Really, the best possible summer would involve just going back to all the best parts of my past summer vacations...

I REALLY hope I can pull through and stick to this, because we all know how bad I am at sticking to things.

Anyway, I got my first 1000/1000 points on a game yesterday! Thanks to the help of SlowMotionNinja, who is now my boosting buddy for all the games we both have/rented at the same time. Who even cares if the game I got 1000 points on was Fuzion Frenzy 2? >_>

Oh yeah, and now that I'm back on, I'll try to go back to my blog-commenting, friend-meeting, forum-ultra-posting, and designing again. Who knows, somedays I might not even go on my 360...because we're moving it and this computer downstairs on Wednesday to get them in a good spot for our new higher-speed internet connection. The one we have right now is 3MB/second, and after Wednesday it'll be 6MB/second.

Well, I guess I'll see everyone soon!

Could anyone recommend me a website that offers CGI wallpapers for your desktop? I want to get inspired to make incredible works with my free time this summer.

Also, I already know about cgwallpapers.com and love it, but I'm not a registered member there. Thanks n advance!

Oh yeah, and I got to the highest possible level in CoD4. FINALLY!
