Blogger got messed up...
It's screwing with my sidebar at the moment. Trying to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
Service S***hole #1: Engrish! Motherf***er. Do you speak it!?
Well it's not really to say that the service sucks (Hell, it's quite the opposite really, Saizeriya hardly falls flat on service and food). But recently, Saizeriya has changed their menu a bit and well...
"Great first impressions there! 'Grand' menu indeed."
"Halal certifiers out there would like to now that their greatest adversary had a name change."
"And you thought the Woll Smoth meme affected only celebrities, or...any name for that matter."
"All it takes is to replace one letter and it will sound like a Japanese porn genre."
"OK, seriously, I'm starting to suspect that the guys who made this menu don't even give a fuck at all"
"Wuu-tee? Seriously?"
"I give up..."

Misc. Madness #2: How the mighty have fallen
"Out in Norway, EA have admitted that sending out surveys that
question reviewers’ history with the Battlefield and Call of Duty games
is a mistake. And the outcry sheds a light on how publishers can predict
how their games will score.
Reviewers in Norway, understandably, aren’t pleased.
Sure, the survey’s first question – a simple request for contact info – is about as cut-and-dry as can be, but sharper probes like “Is [your reviewer] a fan of Call of Duty?” and “Has he expressed enthusiasm for Battlefield 3?” make a mad dash toward eyebrow-raising territory.
According to Gameranx, the questionnaire found its way into the mailboxes of Press Fire/Dagbladet, Gamer.no, and Gamereactor in response to requests for review copies of the massively anticipated shooter. It asks the following questions:
In response to an upsurge of outcry from sites like NRK, EA Norway marketing manager Oliver Sveen released a statement.
“It is a human error that was sent out,” he said to Pressfire.no. “We have made a mistake and we apologize. It is not something that should have happened earlier or [that] we intend to continue.”
We’ve reached out to EA for a response."

And this is why I no longer gave a donkey crap about EA's Battlefield series ever again.
Human error!? Are you kidding me? Such a survey that pressurizes the reviewers into giving BF3 a good review, I mean this shit is as low as it can get. And I thought EA was worried about the sales, they have to be dickish enough to get good review scores too?
Here's a cold hard reality for you EA. Nobody gives a rat's ass as to how much your games are scored, cuz in the end both BF3 and MW3 would get critical acclaim in the end.
First, Origins and now this! When will this corporate madness ever end!?

- What score did he give it?
- What is his past experience with Battlefield?
- Is he a fan of Battlefield?
- Is he a fan of Call of Duty?
- Has he been playing BF Franchise? BFBC2? 1943? BF2?
- Has he expressed enthusiasm or concern for BF3? What are they?
- Did he play the beta? Did he enjoy it / get frustrated with it?
- What is his present view on the game?

Misc. Madness #1: Taking games too seriously
You remember that good ol' term of taking video games way too seriously? But is it for the worse?
Or for the better?
You decide!
Or for the better?
You decide!
Where the fuck did I go?
OK, this is getting retarded. But it seems like I've got absolutely nothing to post on this blog.
Initially planned on posting things that simply describe how idiotic certain Singaporeans can be, but as it turns out nobody did anything worthy enough to be featured on this blog. It's like they've gotten smart all of a sudden. Did the creation of this blog just converted dumbasses in an instance? I don't think so.
So maybe, just maybe, I'll post up different categories, here are some ideas I had.

So maybe, just maybe, I'll post up different categories, here are some ideas I had.
- Trendsetter Transcendence: Trends in Singapore that are overly prevalent and reasons as to why it can get really, really stupid at times. (This category is the most difficult of all, it needs a lot of background research, like 99% of it, because it's too early to call bullshit unless you have evidence to back it up.)
- Service S***hole: Featuring premises with absolutely abysmal service (or bordering abysmal, depending on my mood really) and what they did.
- Hall of De Fame: Featuring real-life jackasses, dumbasses, plain asses, etc. Be it past or present (But not the future! I ain't one of those Precogs from Minority Report, that shit is downright scary when you think about.)
- Miscellaneous Madness: Exactly what the tin says. (Chances are you'll probably see me posting this a lot more)

Birthday experiment
Well that was a nice experiment there, wanna know what the experiment on Facebook was?
Not showing my birth date on Facebook.
And the results?
Aside from those guys in my NERF group, nobody gave donkey shit.
Sounds lame? I know! But hell, this test is to proof just how bothered your friends are with the birthday schtick! See here's the thing, people treat saying Happy Birthday on Facebook like a fucking chore now. The moment that notification of their friend's birthday comes up, your "buddies" will simply flood your wall with happy birthday's and shit like that. But here's the thing, are they doing it because they truly do wish you a happy birthday? Or for the sake of that stupid notification?
So I did the test, and I was right, people DO that for the sake of the notification. And what does that say about it, they are just being flat-out insincere with you.
So here's what I can finalize:
If your friend say happy birthday to you when the notification is off, he is either your true friend or he's looking at your profile a little bit too much.
If your friend say happy birthday to you when the notification is on but don't when it's off, they either don't care, forgot, suffering from tl;dr syndrome, or just insincere.
If your friend don't even say happy birthday to you even when the notification is on, they either don't care at all, or they your life-long enemies (How you manage to have enemies as your friend on FB is way beyond me, but hey, people add just about anybody and everybody on FB these days).
You can use this experiment to see what your friends think about you. Go on, try it!
Technology man...They're pretty much taking us over.
Bonus
On a hilarious side-note, a widely hated cosfucker got his happy birthdays from his "friends" in FB, despite the buggers really, really nasty reputation. Just goes to show how stupid and ignorant these people can be. A perfect way to start off the blog.
