I’m noticing you didn’t write today’s TL;DR. Fine. I’ll do it. I thought maybe you’d want to do me a favor, but apparently we’re not as close as I thought. Anyway, enough of that. EA is still suffering from ban fever after the Battlefield 3 fiasco and it’s getting worse. Instead of just taking care of cheaters, they’re now COMPLETELY banning people from the forums and the game. Some people have even been completely banned from their Origin accounts. Say you get in trouble in Battlefield and that leads to a ban. That means all of your other games are on lockdown, whether or not they’re multiplayer. I smell a sitcom!

"Kei, Kei... I know! Let's cast that white chick from those shitty vampire movies." - I'm assuming this is how the conversation went.

You know what really bothers me about Hollywood? Say there’s an older movie and there’s a character by the name of… let’s say Kei. In this instance we’ll say she’s Japanese in the original. For that matter, let’s say all of the characters are Japanese in the original, it’s set in Japan, and a LOT of people love the original. Now let’s say that Hollywood decides to cast Kristen Stewart as Kei in a remake. I know what you’re thinking, “Nobody’s that dumb, right?” Hollywood. Is. That. Dumb. When Akira comes out, I don’t want to hear anything about it. I’ll laugh my ass off if they don’t change the character’s names and they still call it Akira. I know Akira, and this white-washed piece of shit is no Akira.

The less I have to see this damn thing the better.

Admit it, you’d give your left nut/ovary for a cellphone battery that stayed charged for 10 times longer and charged 10 times faster. In 3 to 5 years you could have such a battery in your phone thanks to some brilliant engineers. They came up with a much more effective way to charge and increase charge capacity for Lithium Ion batteries. Team this up with the awesome new phones coming out that are quickly approaching desktop computer specs and the future is looking pretty sweet for nerds.

Washington D.C.- Historic, Beautiful, the Wild West?

Now we know what happens when somebody shoots at the White House. The Secret Service gets pissed. It may have just been some random gunfight and the bullets may have just happened to hit the White House, but I do know they have a suspect, he has an arrest record in 3 states, and it’s only a matter of time before the Secret Service delivers a presidential ass-beating.

Mediocrity is magic. If you don't get the reference, I envy you.

And to round things out today DC Universe Online is adding content. The Deadly Doublecross is going to be available to all players at no charge. It adds on some new story and Kryptonian gear. Hopefully they’ll periodically add more free content to pull in new players because the game isn’t half bad. It doesn’t stand a chance when The Old Republic comes out, but it’s a solid game to chill out and play now that there are tons of people to play with.

Is it too much to ask that one day I only have good news? I’m getting tired of all this up and down. One day I just want to be able to say, “Here’s some good news. Oh, here’s some better news.” And just keep going like that. Maybe all will be right with the world tomorrow.
