About my absense....

So as you might know, I have been gone. I have in fact missed our 100th post, for which I am deeply sorry. I however have returned with a tale. During our wonderful hurricane a few days ago, nearly all of Oakwood lost power. I missed two days of school. I also didn't get power restored for nine whole days. It was not that fun.

And that's about it.




I'll see if anyone can guess what this is.

This post, Edition 2!

Alright, so I've already posted today, and this post isn't really about anything. But look at it. Yes, that's Sean Connery.

EDIT: Arg! Somebody needs to post something! I'm so alone...

100th post!

Hey, all! We are now, officially, 100 posts into the blog. I sort of feel like it should be Quay making this post, as he's really been the thread holding this crazy little corner of the internet together all these... several months, suppose. Anywho, I want to thank our viewers, however sporadic their appearances, our contributers, with the same appendix as the above felicitation, and anyone who told anyone about us. Furthermore, I would like to thank God for giving me the strength to carry on this minor contribution to the world. Although it's been hard, I think the world might be a slightly better place thanks to our suckling from the most holy teat of Jehovah. Praise the Lord, AMEN!


















Kidding, by the way. Your god is still dead.

ONE MAN. ONE MISSION. ONE MILLION BABES.

Set mostly in a dystopian future, the game begins in modern day Los Angeles, when Duke is interrupted at a strip club by the sudden teleportation of women and pig-cops. After a gun battle, Duke uses the teleportation device to travel forwards through time, where he is greeted by a woman - a member of the Unified Babe Resistance - who explains that in the future aliens have invaded earth, killed all men and enslaved all women. The Unified Babe Resistance has avoided the aliens thus far, and have sent for Duke to fight off the aliens. The game has a linear story mode that focuses more on tactical maneuvering than on the gung-ho jumping and shooting in other Duke games; it also includes a two player death match in rooms similar to some the game's environments.

On Life and Pelican

Hey, y'all! It's been a bit since I've posted, and I'm doing nothing in particular, so I'm going to yell at the world for a few minutes. Given that it is cliche (imagine the accent) as all hell, is the stereotypical philosophical question, and has no bearing on anything, I'm going to talk about the MEANING OF LIFE!!!!!

I'm going to say firstly that there isn't one. As we weren't put here intentionally,* as per my reasonings, we have no objective purpose. There is no destiny for the human race, no cause, no higher ideal. As I've so blatantly and pessimistically screamed at the blogosphere in the past, we are alone (on a theological level, of course.) So, what does that leave me to talk about? Very little!

Okay, here's me fumbling for subject matter. Suppose, for a moment, that there is a meaning of life, and that our existence in entirely necessary. What do you do? Do you quest for that purpose? Do you spend your life in search of it? No! Yes, you heard me. If there is one thing you do not want to know, it ois why you are here. Suppose our purpose as a race is to make some Zxtylophnites feel remorseful when they randomly blow up our planet. Is this advantageous for the greater good? Yes, very; the Zxtylophnites would have otherwise blown up everything, after having realised that they could, and not felt at all bad about it, being dead.. (I know this is silly; bear with me.) So, then, suppose you find that out. Likely reaction:

Finder-outer: "Oh, bawls." Insert years of waiting, cringing at shooting stars, and ultimately offing oneself in anticipation.

No imagine that the same thing is true, but you don't find know your purpose. Nothing happens. Then, let's say, 10 years later, you die. Likely reaction:

Former-finder-outer: "Oh, bawls!" Note that these "bawls" come around a happy decade later.

So... yeah. I feel done. I might expand on this later, but most likely won't. See everybody later.

Oh, yeah, check out the band Pelican, specifically the album City of Echoes. They have a song called "Spaceship Broken-- Parts Needed." That alone should be enough to merit your undying and omnipresent love for this group.
