F*ck you, YouTube.

2009-11-07T16:25:00.001-05:00

This is the last straw of the bale for my patience for YouTube. "

This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions."
Seriously? You're gonna go all Hulu on us and not allow other countries to view videos from other countries. Go f*ck yourselves. Thanks for ruining a project that could have ended well.

Coldplay Sucks

2009-10-16T15:05:00.001-04:00

All they do is rip songs off U2 and change the lyrics. I swear, each one of their songs is a direct rip-off of U2's songs. It's amazing that they have fans, but since they do, each of them should also love U2.

New iTunes

2009-09-10T15:46:00.002-04:00

There's a new iTunes version released yesterday. Let's hope they fixed some of the horrible programming of the previous versions, and let's hope it's not a piece of shit like the rest of them.

A-Channel Sucks!

2009-09-03T21:15:00.002-04:00

Warning: Language below.
This is bullshit. I can't even watch a show on their channel without them posting Twitter shit that covers half the freaking screen. You can't even get the other half of the conversation, you just get the answers that make no sense when there's no question. Twitter sucks, and so does A-Channel. Thanks for giving me a reason to not watch your channel, asswipes.

How to Open a Door With a Credit Card

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

You see it in the movies all the time. A slick protagonist needs to explore the bad guy's abode, so he whips out a card, wiggles it in the crack of the door, and strolls right on in. However, in real life, it's not a universal lock pick technique, nor is it legal (if you don't have permission to enter). But, it is a pretty cool thing to know how to do, especially if you find yourself locked out of your own home!

Steps

Choose your largest, most easily flexible credit card. You may want to use something other than a credit card if it's more flexible and disposable (such as gift cards, membership cards, or any other plastic laminated cards - fake credit cards that you get in the mail are perfect).
Slide the card into the vertical crack between the door and the frame (where the lock is) as far as it will go at a perpendicular angle with the door.
Tilt the card so the side that's closest to you is almost or is touching the doorknob. Push it again until you feel it slide in more.
Bend the card the opposite way, forcing the lock to go back. Quickly open the door.

Tips

An alternative method is to push the card between the door and the frame, as said above, then pull and push at the doorknob while applying pressure on the card. This will pry the lock open eventually, but takes a bit of time, and causes more damage to the card.
Some doors require very little effort, and may be opened by simply pushing a card into the door frame at the same height as the handle (without the above tilting or bending).
Instead of using a credit card, you can also use a strip of plastic cut out from a plastic soda bottle for extra length and flexibility. This also has the added benefit of not ruining your card.
This technique won't work:
- If you are on the side of the door that the lock is not slanted towards, the only way to open it with a card may be to cut it into a wide "U" then hook it around the lock and bend it as described above.
- If the door has a quality lock that is properly installed. Most doors have a special tab that sticks alongside the latch to prevent picking with a credit card. If you can get this tab to drop into the hole that the rest of the latch goes into, then the door is improperly installed and this method will work.
- If the door is an exterior door with an additional deadbolt lock - deadbolts cannot be picked with a credit card and require picking the lock or kicking down the door.
- If the door has trim around it that will prevent you from opening it with a card. Either remove the trim or find an alternative method of opening the door.
All else failing, you can still use your credit card to open the door by hiring a locksmith. Many are available 24/7 and take credit cards.

Warnings

There is a chance that you may do damage to your credit card. If possible, use a less valuable card such as phone card or grocery card instead.
Be very careful not to let your card slide through the door jamb and get stuck on the other side.
Be prepared to show proof that you have the right to open the lock, or you might find yourself behind the sort of locked door that a credit card won't open!
This is a technique to use when you accidentally lock yourself out. Do not use this technique to break into premises to which you do not have permission to enter! You won't enjoy being charged with trespassing or "breaking and entering".
Do not use I.D. Cards, especially if you failed to heed the previous warnings. If it gets stuck on the other side of the door, you will have a lot of explaining to do.

COD4>Halo 3?

2008-03-13T21:49:00.002-04:00

Alright, here's the deal:Apparently, Halo 3 is less popular than Call of Duty 4, and for numerous reasons, including:
a.)The ability to unlock new weapons, perks, challenges, etc. Halo 3 features none of that, and therefore, when comparing it to Call of Duty 4's multiplayer, gives you anything to stride for, as you don't unlock anything new except for a badge in Halo 3.
b.)No lunging, "real" gameplay, not futuristic like Halo 3(Although, many people love this type of game, including me), and the fact that weapons aren't "placed" on the map, and instead are unlocked by the players for a hard earned promotion.

StuntMutt Legacy

2008-03-05T16:21:00.002-05:00

For the past 5 years, Stuntmutt, an artist that wrote the One-One-Seven comics, a comic dedicated to the Halo franchise, has given up the comic. I learned about this today, and Stuntmutt's final comic is located here.

N00bT00b is teh suxors!

2008-03-04T20:05:00.003-05:00

Yeah, seriously. Ever since YouTube gave up it's right to be a good, functioning website, Google has been screwing with it. Now, instead of the usual 15 or so comments, you have around 3 comments before you need to type in the "Captia"(or whatever it is) before you get to post another comment, and then rinse and repeat. This is crap. Not to mention the fact that Google's let YouTube basically screw itself with all these new "Beta pages", and changing the icons for things like Valentine's Day? Are you serious? Why don't you just change it to the Hallmark symbol. Yes, I do have an account there, but YouTube has seriously taken some of the people's interest of making videos that some people had. Now, there's a whole bunch more spam than there was while they were under YouTube's(the real YouTube, mind you) reign. Now, Google is trying, so it seems, to make many of the videos unwatchable, especially if you don't change your Firefox or Internet Explorer settings(specifically, cookies) to "adapt" to the new YouTube's crap.

Awesome!

There's an awesome lunar eclipse outside right now(If it's night time where you live). This is awesome!

Forum Changes

2008-02-18T13:50:00.003-05:00

I changed the forums a bit, including changing my rank and adding rules posts on some of the forum topics.

Poll Error

2008-02-18T13:39:00.002-05:00

I fixed the closed poll, if you want to vote. Also, we now have some spam comments, and so I want to let you know that if you post a spam comment, it will be deleted. Thanks to Shad0wFlame for posting a comment! :)

Wow!

2008-02-09T03:18:00.000-05:00

Almost a whole month since my last post, sorry. I've been over at HIH and Yahoo! Answers. Anyways, I don't see what the big deal is with MySpace. It's so lame. You're too lazy to find a stalker on the street? You have to find one online? What, honestly, is the point of this? This is Madness! Also, an interesting site is www.fark.com.

Rooster Teeth

2008-01-05T22:05:00.000-05:00

If you haven't seen an episode of Red vs Blue, then I recommend you to visit their site(www.roosterteeth.com). Now, I'll explain what Red vs Blue is.

Red vs Blue is a machinima made by Rooster Teeth, who have also created many other funny series. Red vs Blue is a comedy series in the video game "Halo", and Rooster Teeth have been asked many, many times to go to conventions, etc. as their characters that they play on the machinima. To learn more, you should go to:RvB.
They can tell you a whole bunch more, plus, if you join, you can comment on news, etc. They even have comics on the front page for you to laugh at! Also, you can download the RvB movies from this site too, just click on "videos"(or something similar) at the link above.

One of the funniest things ever!

2008-01-03T02:33:00.000-05:00

Honestly, this has to be one of the funniest videos ever. If you go to jibjab.com and select the videos "Starring you", you can post your face(or someone else's) onto it, and it will show up on the characters faces! Now, due to this excellent technology, some people may feel the urge to play around with it, including putting a photoshopped face onto it. Like this one,
here, which was casted by me, with the face from Google Images, unknown creator, and again, the tools were made by jibjab.com.

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T00:11:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year, everyone!

Some new features!

2007-12-21T18:56:00.001-05:00

Yay, we all like new features, right? Right? Anyways, here's what was changed it the "update"(Bllasae's Blog version 1.5):
a.)Added a poll section.
b.)Numerous other things, such as "Welcome Text".

Facebook/MySpace

2007-12-21T18:51:00.000-05:00

What is the deal with the people who go to Facebook and MySpace? Like, what the heck? Why wouldn't I want to go outside, find some stalker person and then meet them in a dark alley at some time, when I can go to Facebook or MySpace and get the same thing? Exactly, and what is the point in this anyways? To make you feel good about the one friend you have when you sign up? When you meet somebody that is some stalker? Yah, what's really good about these websites? Wow. If somebody can explain this for me, I'd be happy to know. It's really lame, and people shouldn't use it. I have no clue why it's one of the most popular websites on the internet, and if somebody would care to explain this to me as well, it would be appreciated. Anyways...

Really think about it, having a blog is really cool. Here are some reasons why:
1.)You get to make people listen to you, no matter what the heck it is.
2.)You can tell people funny stories.
3.)You can make up rules for things, such as etiquette rules, etc.
4.)And the best of all, etc. etc.

Before, I complained about YouTube. I love the Google search engine, Gmail, etc. and I'm not complaining about those, but I was complaining about YouTube. Just so you know.

Hey again

2007-12-02T15:18:00.001-05:00

Hey, sorry about the delay to this post from the last post. I know it's been a while, but yeah..Anyways, have you been to YouTube lately? Were you able to watch more than 2 videos without it not loading, etc.? I thought not... Apparently, if you have Firefox, most videos don't load. Or, only my browser doesn't work. Whatever. Even if the videos do load, YouTube sucks now because of all the chain letters, stupid commenters, stupid videos, etc. that people have to put up with. They even sent Google Video's videos to YouTube, so now I can't watch anything from Google Video or YouTube. Google's also done a whole crapload to ruin YouTube, because basically, they can't leave well enough alone. They messed up video pages, so now there's a "beta page". Google always has beta stuff don't they? None of it works, really. And also, when you go and select a category on a video page on the right, where it shows some videos from the user, related, etc., there's one option that replaces a couple of the original, which makes the whole interface stupid. So, if you haven't experienced YouTube since the failure on Google's part to actually make videos playable on YouTube, then I'd recommend you go there now, enjoy watching the black video of the circles spinning(the Google "Loading" symbol), and then find a new, usable video site to watch videos on. Thanks!

Sorry about the delay

But I've sorta been busy. Been reading the Halo novels. Currently reading Contact:Harvest by Joseph Staten.

Cool things!

2007-10-24T20:58:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone (If there is anyone o.0) I know of a cool website that you'll love if you like Halo and the Halo community in general. Go to http://nikon.bungie.org/ and find news about Halo. Another thing, if anybody has seen any really cool "lolcat" sites lately, feel free to post them here in the comments. "Lolcats" are the cat pictures that have really funny captions on them. You can find these basically anywhere, but the main site that I know of is: http://icanhascheezburger.com/
This site has a really cool community that makes and posts new pictures of funny cats in funny situations with funny captions (Wow, I used "funny" 3 times in that sentence!). Now, if you want to hear more about what I hate/dislike/hate about n00bs, just again, feel free to post in the comments about this and tell me. Trust me, there's always new things to complain about that everybody hates. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, go a couple days back to the post I made about YouTube n00bs. Seriously, you know you hate them. Also, I am making a novel! Yay! I might release some part of it for you to view, but so far, I have 5 pages. I also need a title. But if anybody has any hints, etc. (FFS, I have to post the same thing again lol) then feel free to post in the comments*Sigh*. Thanks for reading and feel free to bookmark this blog!

Worst. Line. To. Promote. Movies/Books. Ever!

2007-10-20T22:30:00.001-04:00

Well, apparently, Dumbledore, from the Harry Potter series of books and movies is gay. You can read the whole story from here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7053982.stm
Or if you Google "Dumbledore is gay" you'll get the many websites that it's posted on, and also some Harry Potter nerd raver's opinions on the series.

The problem with n00bs.

2007-10-20T19:15:00.001-04:00

Seriously, you've all seen them. They're the ones that comment on YouTube videos saying stuff like:
"OMG, were did u find teh airppot[Translated in human:Airport]in flit simultar, d00d?"
or
"Where can I find that program/mod. Please respond!"
Now, these are somewhat valid questions, being that you know how to speak some freaky language
and you have the intelligence of somebody in summer school in grade 8 that failed every English quiz, test and/or assignment. The second one is somewhat worded right, but the "Please respond!" part is so annoying, especially when they go to another completely different video and then they post the same question, exact same wording. I'm posting the airport one because I was watching a Flight Simulator video on YouTube, and this actually happened, although not with the amount of grammar and spelling mistakes as above. It is annoying, however, when they ask where they can find the thing in the video, when the link to the place where you can get it is right underneath the video description! And when people don't read the stupid description and it describes the whole video! Then, to completely annoy people even more than possible, they speak in CAPS, press the Caps Lock key again! Thanks for reading my rant, and come again!
