Internet Critic's - Youtube Pick of the Week

Hello you guys, IC here to bring you some quality information, for absolutely no pay. For the first time ever on this site I am proud to announce that I now have a Youtube Pick of the Week. This is primarily because I feel like 90% of the content on Youtube is viable, and I believe that people who aren't famous get credit for what they do. I mean I was once on Youtube, my name at the time was Chronicles of Gaming, I had some somewhat decent amount of video and they were good in a stupid kind of way. I eventually got banned because my content, I ranted about games and such, were flagged as spam even though they had a purpose unlike some people (yeah that's right I'm looking at you SXEPhil, and by the way I am not Defranco).

The second reason I felt like instead of talking about whatever is completely unimportant, I would try to freshen up this site by posting some original content of which I think is interesting. The first video I'm going to throw up goes to Alhorian. Over the past couple of posts actually my IC and JG: Double Time post (See here.), and I sorta compared him to Zero Punctuation, I know that's rude with Alhorian being a copy and everything but.... whateva right. Anyways, while I was talking about him I said I enjoy his content, why I'll never remember he just made me feel happy. No not like that.

So here is IC's Youtube Pick of the Week - Alhorian's Ranting Monkey: Being an Achievement Whore.

IC Movie Reviews - The Butterfly Effect

Hey IC here to post you some quality information, for absolutely no pay whatsoever. Today as I scrolled through Star Choice's movie channels, I stopped at IFC. Playing at the time was Scary Movie, but I saw that after that my favourite movie ever was playing, The Butterfly Effect.

Well then I guess I should start on the story then.  The story starts off with Evan, a young boy who lives with his mother, who from the look of her uniform is either a stripped or a waitress. Evan goes to elementary school with his mother where she finds a picture he drew of what he wants to be when he grows up, only for him to say he doesn't remember doing it. Not just that, but many, many other events in his life are blanked out from a condition his father had, hmm didn't know craziness was hereditary. As he continues in life he starts to remember the things he had blanked out, and ultimately alters the future and his own life.

Over the course of the movie, the things he blanked out become a little more understandable. At about mid-beggining he goes to his friend Kayleigh's house to meet her father, played by Eric Stoltz. Once they go in the basement to record a "movie", he blanks out everything unto the point where Mr. Miller tells Kayleigh and Evan to get naked. When he tries to remember he tells off the father, and in that alters the past so him and Kayleigh are dating at a college.

In the movie the role of Evan is played by Logan Lerman (Age 7), then John Patrick Amedori (Age 13), then finally Ashton Kutcher, and each actor pulls off their respective role perfectly. Logan Lerman pulls off a confused blanking child perfectly, as does John Patrick Amedori pull off a memory lost teenager amazingly. The other characters effected by Evan had to be drastically changed in how they look in order to match what he did, so I have to respect the hair, make-up, and costume designers.

This movie will always be my favourite because it's a smart person movie. A smart person movie is a movie that makes you reconsider the entire human condition, and a stupid person movie is for someone who turns off The Butterfly Effect, or Hancock and loads up Meet the Spartans. That's all I have to say, thank you for reading and I will be back to update the Xbox Live Update.

Internet Critic Reviews - N

Hey IC here again to bring you some quality information, for absolutely no pay whatsoever. Today would be the second day in a row that I've reviewed a video game, and this game is actually 10 to the power of infinity times better than Iron Man and it's free. Now,N. N is short for Ninja, and is basically a 2-D Ninja game, so I like to call it "Ninja Gaiden: Freeware that just Happens to be good Enough to have a Retail Release." Well here's the story of N. You clicked Run, then you sat there for 15 seconds as it loaded, clicked run again and played it, that's it. There would have been a story to this game if the developer didn't have about $10 to develop the game.

The game play is solid, but is missing the "right stuff", "the essence", what the french might call..... I don't know what. What Dr. Evil's monologue means in this case is that even if there is a really engrossing game play, it will eventually get boring. The game play for this game is basically just going through a couple of levels using only your super amazing ninja powers and jump to the end. What I find interestingly boring about this is to see the end you have to not just do this, but you must also collect yellow blocks that regain the time you have to complete the level. This is reminiscent to Prince of Persia where you need time sand to go back and forth in time. You also have the ability to make your own levels, but does that matter when Boom Blox, SSBB, and like 300 other games have it.

 

  I'm on the Prince of Persia imitations, you have the ability to jump but only so far and only fall so much. The falling is more annoying then my cat that doesn't know how to fuck off, since it changes depending on the level, on one level you could fall 5000 yards and survive, where as on level whatever-the-hell you can fall maybe 300 yards.  The opposite of Prince of Persia is the killing, instead of being stabbed with say a knife, you instead get shot, electrocuted, exploded and well 5-story splatter owned. That's kinda weird that your a ninja, the ultimate human being, yet people still believe shooting you is the correct method of death for you. I'm not saying this is a bad game, but they could have done much better, I guess we'll just have to see if the sequel, N+, is any good when I buy it, If I ever do. Well that's all I have to say, and thank you for reading.

Internet Critic Reviews - Iron Man Demo

Ugh, I can't beleive I have to do this, well I don't have to but I didn't do anything else today. Whenever a succesful movie is released the obvious merchandise, toys, appearel, and the worst of all video games, are made. By ", the worst of all video games." I don't mean video games are terrible, I mean there is maybe one good movie tie-in video game (the obviously amazing Goldeneye: 007). Iron Man doesn't cut this law nor does it do too bad. Do note I was playing the demo version of this game for 2 reasons, one I only review things that everyone can get, so there either affordably or freely priced, two I'm not buying anymore movie tie-in games since I bought Kung-Fu Panda.

Ok let's go down a group of things I hate about this game. #1 the finicky ass controls. Let's see when you play a video game you expect this to be the controls for say an adventure game, right button is some sort of extra attack and the left trigger does something with the left side of your character. No this game beleives that you get to fly really fast pressing the right button, and fly upwards with the left trigger. Another control issue is that there is no jump button. Like any game A= Jump that's just how it works, but in this game A=LT (Left Trigger)= Upwards flight, its not that annoying but I like jumping, not flying 300 yards in the air before I can go up a ledge.

#2 is the weapons. This one I'm not that mad at, but I don't think just because everyone uses a gun means EVERYONE should use a gun. When you hold the X button you get a giant ray of light that pops out of your chest, where as if you hold the Y button, you get a bunch of missiles that fly out of your hand, and if you hold the RT (Right Trigger) you get a gunshot from the same hand as the missiles. This isn't that bad, but all of the weapons have the same effect except for the chest blast, this attack is 1 hit kill, but you need to charge it meaning you could get killed at any time. Oh and dying you die after you lose energy 3 times in a row, meaning dying is really hard.

#3 the final thing wrong with this game is, flying. "What?!? Iron Man's main power is flight and it's so cool in the movie." Says the guy in the back with the Robert Downey Jr. t-shirt on. Well yes it is his main power, and yes once again it is cool in the movie, but that's it, it's only cool in the movie, but the in-game flight control is like Gears of War's running meets Halo 3's mech suit. When you fly upwards that's all you can do FLY UPWARDS, but if you hold the left trigger you fly as if you were a boulder with wings. What I mean by that is that you fly like you weigh 900 pounds (which you technically do), but when you are flying your movement is so stiff you might as well be a little kid with super-strength throwing a rock that's remote controlled.

Well that's all I have to say today, thank you for reading.

IC and JG: Double Time Review

Here at IC, quality is first no matter what we're doing; quality is where we start off. In the past few days, quality and information has lacked somewhat, so in noticing this, and that Knight Rider didn't get reviewed by me, here's a double post by both me and Jesse. Well enjoy, and sorry for the delay of content.

Internet Critic checks out - Zero Punctuation

Mmmmm Wednesday joy, this show makes my wednesdays worth waking up for. You know that feeling when you feel deprived of deliciously tastefilled videos, well this man is what does it for me. On Wednesdays my little friend, Zero Punctuation, critiques some of the newest games of the week, but instead of doing it like the nerd where he records himself, he records MS Paint photos and plays them on The Escapist.com.

I really have to give him big props, no matter how many impersonators come around he always ups his game to come back at them. One of probably the only impersonators that does any good is Alhorian on Youtube. Our yellow back-ground hero(in) is extremely into video games, to the point where he sometimes goes without food just to play them.

It seems no matter how hard Australians try, they never get the good end of the stick, games are truly a fortune considering in the U.S., Rockband is $180 and in the Austrian Outback Marketplace (AOM for short) it costs over $300. This may be a downside, but with Zero Punc. covering what games are worth buying, such as Braid, he is truly necessary down there. Now I believe Fesse The Faggot wants to say something.

Jesse Guarascia in: iHate iTunes

Well the title kind of over-exaggerates what I'm saying, but it is true, iHate iTunes. Ok Apple explain to me why you think, just because the iPod and the iPhone start with a lower-case I, you can name the program to put songs on the devices iTunes. I guess saying, "My iTunes has like 1,000 songs", is better to say then "Yo my iPod has like 2,000 songs on it, I put them on with Song Applier Ver. 11.45.8."

While I'm talking about iTunes as a program, why the hell did Apple think it was a good idea to make every iPod have only one iTunes, and if it uses another one it deletes all of your songs. I mean I can understand that you could move files from one computer to another that contain viruses. Although that is a valid idea, does it really affect the fact that your friend may have a song you don't have but want, yeah well don't use your iPod or that'll be the only song you ever get to put on.

The final thing I have to point out is the iTunes Store. Ok the iTunes Store is basically a way to buy songs to put on your iPod from Apple themselves, what Apple obviously understands is that smart people know how to transfer songs from Limewire to iTunes. The store does have far better quality, and has movies and pod casts, most of which you can't legally download from Limewire and play on your iPod. That's all iHave to say, thank you for reading.

Internet Critic covers - Heroes Season 3 Premeire

YAY!!! OMFG, this R the awesomest thing eva!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huh oh right yeah, okay let me stop sounding like a fanboy for a second, geeh, get a hold IC get a hold. Ok if you enjoy Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, or if your a really devoted comic book fan, Flash, you will enjoy Heroes. Now here's how Heroes works out, a young man by the name of Peter Petrelli lives in New York as a nurse with his brother who's running for Congressman of New York, Nathan Petrelli. Peter believes that he is destined for greater things, and learns he and many of his friends have great powers, such as indestructibility, mind reading, and painting the future. Little does he know that what he thought was supposed to be a great step forward in his life, but is going to just end with sorrow, and sadness, as he learns the world is going to end at his hands. It's up to him and his new-found friends, to stop this crisis.

Now I've followed Heroes since Season 1, Episode 1, and have been a loyal fan, waiting since December 18th for this day that Heroes would come back. Every Monday in my home, regardless of what was on, I would force my mother and brother to do something else and stfu while I watch this, just to see the next installment of this engrossing story. The premiere of this show was a pretty interesting time in my home, me and my mother had to fight over who got to see what, either Heroes (the obvious winner or I couldn't tell you about it) or CSI: Miami (Epic Phail).

I have to say this right now, do not watch Heroes unless you've seen all of the episodes, there are parts of the show that need you to have a very good memory of what happened in the show, without spoiling anything, Peter shoots his brother but the beginning of the show explains why, with you needing to remember who is attacking and who is being shot for what reason. Some of the parts of the 2-Hour episode, such as the mother who's name escapes me, has a dream that leads to a completely different part of the future we had seen meaning "The Butterfly Effect" the name of the second part, makes sense.

Well to stop boring you I'm gonna head off now to leave you Heroes fans to find a site that has some episodes or go to Youtube to see the premiere to learn on your own, and to new fans I say go look for a way to see all of the episodes of this epic series, it's definetely worth the watch. I'm not going to rate this show because if I give it all 10's, the producer of 24 will bug the hell out of me and ask me to review 24, ewwww.

PC Gamers I Envy You

Hey Jesse Guarascia back again to post you some quality information, for no pay whatsoever. I speak for the entire new generation of gamers that we don't care much for PC Games. Then again, I do beleive you guys get the upper hand when it comes to some A+ games, Quake 4, most if not all of the Sims, and I guess some 360 ports with easier controls such as BioShock.

Here's why I envy you oh so amazing 39 year-old grandma boys, how the shit do you get PC games to run on common computers. Ok I own 2 computers, one for freeware gaming, and one for browsing the web and blogging. The first ones a Dell the other one is an HP Pavillion. Now yesterday I went out and bought a copy of Psychonauts for the PC, why because I can that's why. So right when I got back I opened it up took out CD 1 and loaded it up, when I did I had to do the whole put in Disc 2 then 3 and so on, once it was done I clicked Play Psychonauts on the splash screen, and I get a pop-up that reads, Psychonauts could create Device3D please ensure your video cards are installed and up-to-date.

Ok, so after that I make sure my cards are in and new and strong so I check out the site, all I get is make sure the cards are working, well of course there working dipshit or I couldn't read this. Well this is bullcrap, this is one of the reasons I don't PC game about unless there are no other ways to play the games. Some people rave Crysis for kicking ass, but really I could just play it on the PS3, now do mind the controls will suck monkey hair dipped in caramel but atleast I can play it. This also falls under the same level as Psychonauts, it's for the PS2 and the original Xbox and the XBLM (Xbox Live Marketplace) and Steam, so I don't have to spend $300 on all the video cards I would need, I can just spend like $70; $50 for the PS2 and $20 for Psychonauts.

I'm just gonna have to say if you have Alienware or a really high-end ass PC that your not using mail it to:

Small Buisiness Sites

Hey IC (Intenet Critic), decided to take a break for the weekend, but I, Jesse Guarascia moderator of this blog, is still here to enthroll you. Ok that's enough trying to be smart and onto my point.

Well when you take a stroll down internet lane, you tend to see websites for buisinesses you've never heard of but in all honesty do you ever think to look at them. I mean really, do you care if Oshweken Toys and Electronics has a sale, of course not. When I look at the most searched sites on Google I see Youtube, Amazon, Yahoo, and of course the #1 reason people go on the internet, porn, but never DeRosaOnline.

Where I live, Hamilton, there are alot of small businesses ranging from barbers to painting services, some of them will eventually get out there, look at McDonalds, once a small buisness started up a decade or so ago, now it's a multi-million fattening corporation. Some major retailers for clothing, video games, and toys, don't even have websites, EBGames Canada holds no information whatsoever other than the price of some of the older games, where as EBGames.com has information, pricing, and hell even user reviews.

On the other hand if you're already a huge corporation to start off with much, much before you even start a site, you will get big hits if you advertise in your stores, do contests, and even give people the chance to submit content onto the site. Look at Teletoon.com and .ca they both have games, to keep the children enthrolled to their site of course, contests, to keep you coming back to the site to see new contests, and previews and such on new shows their showing. The marketing buisness is the #2 reason buisnesses, both large and small alike, make websites.

The #1 reason would be, to expand your business. If you have lets say 5 offices in the country, your not giving a widespread apeal, but if you have 50 offices nation wide you're gonna get looked at. Most new businesses can't afford that kind of investment, so to get noticed they have 1 of 2 options. 1 they can start giving out posters and T-Shirts to people who come in and they get advertising without having to pay the advertiser, or 2 they can start up a website at the cost of the registration fee, and probably a website engineer unless you know someone that will do it for free.

Building a website is becoming easier and easier, you just hit up a hosting website, sign-up with an existing e-mail, then choose the layout and design and your done, think about how many people go to a place where they want to know something about, to how many people just go ahead and Google it. Probably 20/80, but that's why if you have a couple of offices or buildings at your disposal you can get people that don't already know about your site .

Anyways that's all I have to say this Saturday, thanks for reading and IC will be back Monday for all of your internet and video game news.

IC's Video Game Update- Kirby Super Star Ultra

Hey you guys, Internet Critic here, well thank you Ninty (Nintendo). Kirby has been a staple in most of Nintendo's party games such as Super Smash Bros. and a couple of sports games. Since his last couple of games have been, mediocre at best, and epic failure at least, Nintendo's newest Kirby for the DS has been released. Essentially Kirby Super Star Ultra is a rehashing of Kirby Super Star on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and some consider it one of the best Kirby games ever.

The game contains all of the 8 games the original had, although it actually contained 9 games, the box said 8. Now we move onto what I'm going to dislike about this game, that it's a remake. The remake department is where all useless minds of gaming come to try to make an old game fresh again. One of the company's I can think of who does this alot is the company who developed this remake, Nintendo. They didn't just do this and a couple of other games, they do this constantly, look at The Legend of Zelda, you get a sword, some weapons, slice people, kill Ganon or Ganondorf, depends on the game, and save Zelda, we've done that what 41 times now. Trust me when I say this you can only sit on Goomba's so many times before you wanna say "Umm where's the turret."

Anyways that's all I have to say for now, I wish you the best for this week, and have fun on the interwebs. Also really fast before I go check out the video below it's on the history of Kirby and I will be gone all weekend, you know parties.

Gaming Historian - History of Kirby

Hotz Explosion

Hey, Internet Critic here today, Jesse Guarascia wants to post. Goddamn it Jesse just write it already, eh stop crying and do it BIOTCH!!! Oh we're still on, I said press the big OFF AIR button you retard. Ok here's Jesse. Hey guys, if you live in Hamilton, happen to pick-up on CHCH news, or just heard about this story on the internet, Hotz Enviromantal Plant on Lottridge Street, had a chlorine fire. This doesn't really matter though as it was small, but where it was, was my major concern. Lottridge Street is one of the most mainstream streets in all of Hamilton, Main is of course at the top. Lottridge has alot of houses just on the west end, it also holds a McDonalds, a variety store, a Dairy Queen, and a computer repairs and hardware shop. Meaning not only homes were at risk but small and large businesses were at stake.

Another thing that's not as important to most people, but is to me, is that my friend Justin Forsyth lives directly next to the building, and at the time he had two of my other friends, Denzil Davidson and Jordan something that's extremely long. Anyways I'm gonna stop talking about that and get back to the incident.

Ok, another thing that might interest the hippies who own computers, the chlorine fire was starting from it being fused not intentionally but fused. Somehow the chemicals in the water at the building reacted with the chlorine and fire got on it, then the fire grew. Which basically means that the entire plant and all of Lottridge to Barton was evacuated, meaning there are extremely toxic chemicals still rolling around in the air. This means if the same X amount of chlorine touches Y amount of the chemicals, let's say a large cloud of chemicals, 4ml at best, touches a small pool in a persons backyard that's 50 gallons depending on size, and a smoker throws their light and it hits water off the pool, goes up and into the infected pool, there could be an extremely large epidemic.

Most people will chart this off as a "coincidence", but what are the chances that a building with hundreds of workers, manages to lose some of the watery runoff in the plant, the runoff contains chemicals, that just happens to poorly react together with chlorine, then fire just happens to reach it. Well that's my opinion, thanks for reading.

God Jesse, learn to stop talking for a damn second. Well now that he's done I think I, the Internet Critic, are gonna just head off now and shut down the production of this post. Well that's all folks, copyrighting optional.

Internet Critic tries out SwagBucks

Hmph, wow just wow. I like free stuff as much as the next guy, but really do they need this many damn websites. Gaming Lagoon, Prize Rebel, Rewards1, the list fucking goes on and on. Some of them truly are scamming you, with fake testimonials, and contest where people don't actually win. Although this truly stupid group of people exists on the internet I have found a website that truly gives what they are promising.

The site is called SwagBucks, why I don't really know. Oh wait maybe because you purchase Swag from the site with Bucks you get from searching, thus SwagBucks. Trust me I do not lie to my readers and I will not lie to anybody this site gives you free stuff. I swear on my life if you use it test it out, get one of the rock pictures, mine was of Linkin Park, and order it, it usually takes 6-8 days from experience.

The concept is simple, search and win, but it's alittle more complex then typing a,b,c and so on until you win. Here's a couple of tips to win points well, search at a good pace and search things that you wouldn't search regularly. You can 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 swag bucks at one time.

Ok off of tips and back onto the review. Another thing I should note is that you can win points from recycling old cellphones. Of the course the cellphone idea is kind of like, spend tons of money on a new cellphone, get rid of an old one lying around in your house, and get some points. If you have something old you might as well get payed to get rid of it right.

One final thing I'll say before my final verdict, is that the price of some products is ridiculous. Why is Hannah Montana for the Wii 20 SwagBucks more than Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. That's not my only gripe, you only get 20 searches a day to win points so you have to search a tiny bit on swagbucks and it's usually only 1 point per search. The only way to prevent getting 10 points a week and try to get 4000 points to get an Xbox 360 Elite, which by the way would take...... 10 a week by 4000 points 10 divided by 4000..... it would take 400 weeks.

Well that's all I have to say for now thanks for reading and if you would like to recommend some different games or programs to review please email me at internetcritic@gmail.com or personally IM me at kingbling95@hotmail.com.

Video Game Review - Combat Arms

Ok cool, so I've finally taken the time to play an mmofps. Ok Combat Arms, it's essentialy a free. version of Call of Duty 4, although it's extremely scaled down the weapons suck ass, and the graphics look like a really bad PS1 original graphics engine. Ok really the game is fun the only problem is that compared to other online FPS', like GunZ, it's just not up to snuff.

Although it's not GunZ Glory, it's not without it's W1N P0W3R, (leet speak optional). The game, instead of needing you to pay with real cash for say FAKE CASH, allows you to get through the whole entire game and get to the top rank, simply using store bought items. You do have the option to pay for some items with Nexon Cash, which is kind of redundant considering you can, like I just said, play and get money to buy almost all of the gear with.

It doesn't really succeed with anything else, the game it's trying to rip off isn't being ripped off, it's just being acted like. COD4 has perks and you can chose what equipments you want, with Combat Arms you get the same thing without the perk idea, but you get ALOT of equipment. I mean a lot. Something I find a little pointless about the equipment is the sun glasses. The sunglasses do nothing whatsoever I mean nothing, they don't increase sight, zoom, or allows you to detect enemy health or anything, all they do is make you look cool.

You should also notice this game follows every other fps game, the range of grenades kicks ass. Instead of in COD4 where you need to be a pro linebacker to outrun the damn splash, you can walk outside or be a couple of yards away from the grenade to stop the fatal attack. I mean really if you've played COD4 the matrydom perk on Vacant or Shipment, the 2 most enclosed maps in the whole game, you literally can't walk around for 5 seconds without getting killed from the grenade splashAnd finally the number one thing that makes me dislike this game and any online fps, the controls suck ass. Ok heres how it works, left click shoot, right click zoom, scroll click melee, mouse movement moves camera, q and e to scroll from primary to secondary weapon, x for grenade, and w a s d to walk around. This game completely screws that up, heres how they do it, left click shoot, right click zoom, press 3 then shoot for melee, mouse movement for camera, 1 and 2 to switch from primary and secondary weapons, 4 for grenade then click fire, and w a s d to walk around. What the hell man yes you can change the controls around to fix it but who has the time to do that, most FPS players just wanna shoot a bitch.

Final Verdict:

Download it if you like COD4 but don't wanna play for Xbox Live, it's truly fun but doesn't try to hard, better choice would be GunZ or perhaps go pay 50 dollars for a Xbox Live Gold Membership you lazy.....

Score:

Cost - 10

Customization - 8

Combat Engine - 7

Controls - 5

Final Score - 7

Update to my Google Chrome Review

Ok well hmmm how do I say this, I lied, sorta. Ok my Google Chrome review has now taught me to never review ANYTHING, after being released for less than a week. This happened with Grand Theft Auto 4 everyone in the gaming world who got it either 1 day or 2 or 3 days before it released and when they reviewed it they gave it 10/10 or said "If god was to share his vast bounty and wisdom with the world, we would have GTA IV." Not in those exact words mind you, but you get the jist. Now that I've seen that Google Chrome crashes alot, probably entailing to the fact that it's still in BETA, so I've decided to switch over to Safari.

Ok back to Safari. Safari has a pretty good idea going for itself, it gives you the major websites as bookmarks automatically, something Chrome and IE and Firefox are lacking. It is essentially for Mac's but it seems to move incredibly quick as compared to IE or Chrome, Firefox I'm not sure because I don't use it anymore. Hell if Safari was any faster I would have to sign that petition to ban IE. I'm not saying right now that I think Safari is the only web browser you should be using, but if I find a couple of problems I'll be sure to write them done here.

Oh and before I say "Good you read what I wrote go back to Google searching free porn." I would like to say to the man Jack Xu or how ever you spell it, if I checked I could be labeled boring legally, who commented on my Stephane Dion post. I agree with you in every way, Laton and Dion deserve the crappy votes there getting and if they somehow magically reduce Harper to such a low stance that he admits he's gay, I'll have to stop trusting Harper and the entire conservative party.

Stephane Dion Website Attack Ad

Ok if you live in Canada, or care for that matter, there has been a new election for Prime Minister. This is against, mainly Conservative leader and current Prime Minister Steven Harper, NDP Leader Jack Laton (I don't know how to spell it), and Liberal leader Stephane Dion. Now Harper I beleive had his board members write some new material on the Conservative website, this material just happened to be an attack ad, towards the one and only Jesse Guarascia de Urena, I mean uhh Stephane Dion. While we were watching the local news, I saw that the website ad consisted of Stephane Dion some un-important information about his past and his thought's on how the goverment should be run, which were all being completely debunked as stupid.

If I recall from an episode of Family Guy, the undecided voter will vote for the stupidest person in the game, so Harper will get all of the votes. Instead of making some compelling points about how smart his opponent is but that you can do better, he simply does what I said, shows Dion and calls his ideas stupid, but he also shows a bird taking little white canary dumps on Dion's shoulder. When I was speaking to my mother she didn't get it, neither did I all he did was make fun of him and show a bird pooping on him.

I just think Harper could have atleast put a little damn thought or got his site managers, to put a little thought into making and attack ad. If he did I think I could respect him a little bit, but you know if the undecided voter wasn't such a retard we wouldn't have to deal with this bullcrap. Anyways that just my opinion and thanks for reading.

Bleach vs. Naruto

O.K. for the people who actually read the text that I put on a flimsy blog, which is 13 is I read the counter correctly, you'll know that I do mainly software and program reviews at the moment and sometimes just I talk about my day. Now I'm falling as far as I can into the nerdom of the interwebs, anime. Ok anime is a cartoon based off of a magazine like book known as Manga, such as King of Tennis or Yu-Yu Hakusho (is that correct I really don't know.)

Those examples are only for hardcore anime fans that have followed manga since it's U.S. or U.K. inception, cause if you cared since it's start in Japan then you'd be reading this in that shiny white house that god lives in appearently. Bleach and Naruto are the #1 anime/mangas to get people started, like Spongebob Squarepants or Mario Party are shows and games to get people into each of the 2 mediums. A couple years back me and my bud Ryan started watching some Naruto and Bleach because everytime we went to the youtube homepage I see Bleach and Naruto in the most watched videos section. So we went on AnimeHub and watched a bunch of episodes and of Naruto and then like 2 episodes of Bleach the first and then the second.

Well instead of stalling let me get to the main point of my argument. "What is it?", asks the oblivious and somewhat retarded reader. Well it's what anime/manga is better Bleach or Naruto. Well I guess to truly prove my opinion on the matter, I'll have to show each sides of the group.

OK I would but think about it your bored because you looking through all of these gay ass blogs but whatever. So if you would kindly take the time to vote that would highly appreciated, thanks for reading.

Google Chrome Beta Review

Hey guys, if you live in one the major countries or one of the 100 google institued you probably downloaded the new web browser from google, Google Chrome. This web browser is marketed as a competor to IE but i think they asked Microsoft for the script code from IE (internet explorer). The interface is the same, there's no add-ons like Firefox and the tabs are still so simple to use as long as you have a toe you can make one, but there are some things that are better.

Such as the fact that you can encode websites into different languages if they have accepted the ability to alter the text the correct encoding (i.e: a German website that want's to be translated to english will change it's encoding to be able to translate to english). Another cool thing it can do is it has the ability to make a shortcut that can be placed on your desktop that will automatically link your website of choice. The final cool thing is that it's actually FASTER than IE and Firefox and it's still in beta, infact that's what I'm talking to you through). There were also 2 other features it contained, 1 is incognito which allows you to open web pages and they wont show up in your history (for all you..... cat watchers out there). The 2nd one is that it can actually copy links from different areas such as picture URL's you want without having to open the page, copy paste the link in the adress bar and bring it over to, now you can just right click and copy link then paste to wherever you want. 

Although this browser is AMAZING I still have some major gripes which also fall under the same catagories as my gmail rant. See: http://guarasciabloghome.blogspot.com/2008/08/gmail-sucks.html . Such as the fact that they disallow ALOT of cookies sometimes major ones such as blogger, that was the only major on I saw but I'm sure theres more. They also don't give you the home page button on the address bar right away you have to put on yourself. Also whenever you make a new favourite it isnt just a favourite you can access from a favourite's area on your address bar, it's placed in the quick links bar, so it could be filled up REALLY FAST.

Anyways, thats the last thing I have to say about this other than the final verdict.

Final Verdict:

Go download it. If you don't god will come down and kick in your balls until you die. The software is simple but has alot of useful interfaces. (Also note all of this review was conducted solely on the BETA version of the software program, all readers of the full release of the initiated software's full version must be diregarded from this review.)

Score:

Interface: 9

Accessability:9

Speed:10

Final Score: 9.5

AVG Anti-Virus System Review

Ok, as I speak to you my secondary computer is filled with virus', but I expect it to be fixed from AVG Anti-Virus System.

This program is free to most people unless you want true all around addware spyware blocking, you have to buy it. The program itself is extremely simple to use all you have to do is click computer scan and there you go you've got it going, now unlike most free download spyware and addware blocking programs this one isn't one that's actually going to GIVE you the virus you were trying to get rid of infact I use this more than Windows Defender to get rid of multiple virus'.  Although my version is free, it still is completely fast and powerful.

It's Scanning is phenomenal, it doesnt scan just folders or areas (although you have to choice to do that), it scans every single file in all areas, no matter how small or how large. They find the files with under-protection scripts, with I beleive it's own C++ programming. If the other programs such as Norton or the free trial of Windows Defender you will be forced to only scan areas at a time. Also AVG has the ability to speed up to go through the coding and only scan areas that stick out, you can choose moderate for coding or encrypting that stands out and looks for files that are infected (usually cookies), and the last is slow so it can search through the entire code incase there is something you need to hide from the search so the program doesn't delete it thinking it's an infected code.

There are some flaws such as the length of scans. The scans are truly very slow as compared to Norton Anti-Virus and Windows Defender. The moderate scan is approx. 20 mins. for 80,000 files, where as Windows Defender does about 75,000 in 10 minutes. Another one, and this is refering to the free version of the program, is the lack of ability to delete critical level infections such as Trogan programs that try to hack through your "back door".

Overview:
This program is amazing for a free adware spyware blocker as compared to most which look like they work but end up giving you the virus' you were trying to get rid of. The scan ability is strong enough to read all files specifically but takes forever for it to finish even on the fastest speed as compared to Norton Anti-Virus and Windows Defender. It also lacks the ability to delete critical file infections.

Final Verdict:
Great program on it's on, but far better, far faster and far stronger, with pay for programs such as Norton and free programs from Microsoft such as Windows Defender. I highly reccomend this program.

Rating:
Scanning Ability: 8
Scanning Time: 5
Infection Deletion Power: 6
Total Score: 7/10
