Can You Separate Reality from Video Games?
I can. But maybe that’s because I’m a normal human. I don’t understand these people who think that because they play video games, they can go on killing sprees, stealing their parents’ car and running it into a convenience store. Even Helen Keller wasn’t that dumb. For all of those “concerned parents” (read: cunts) who think that violent video games turn...

Madden 09 - Same Crap, New Year
Every year now it’s the same thing: Super Bowl, Madden Cover announcement, Draft, Madden details. Can’t EA Sports save itself time, money and employees and just make a game called NFL?

On The Internet, Everyone Is an Expert
Yesterday was the 2008 NFL Draft. Plenty of people have started to care about the draft since the NFL decided to market it as the most important thing next to the Super Bowl.

What Is ShutUpInternet?
The Internet is way too loud. It’s filled with ‘experts’ on everything. Every site boasts these people who always know what they’re talking about, about everything, when they clearly do not. What’s going to be on this site? A little bit of everything. Rants, raves, call outs, pictures, music, stupid people, funny videos, etc. Stay tuned for more real soon.
Test Post
I’m Zack and we’re trying this out.
