Geek vs Life

Okay, so there’s this store down in Westlake Center (in Seattle) called LUSH, which sells soaps and shampoos and stuff. Some of their signs are a bit… interesting… so I usually stay away from it.

I’m definitely staying away today.

Apparently, the company has decided to protest overexcessive packaging by… having their employees come to work in nothing but their aprons today, for about a half hour (the PI’s blog said it was at noon today).

O-kay…

Any of you boys who live down near the city go down to see this? I’m afraid that if I had’ve been working today, and it was up at my mall, I would’ve turned around and went home, calling into work saying that I was too offended by the inappropriateness to come into work.

Behold! The return of the this week in games! Your disposable income now has no place to hide bwa hahaha!

But there’s only one game that really matters:

Buy it now.… and no, not Nancy Drew.

Several months back, Electronic Arts (EA) filed an unsolicited buyout offer of Take 2 Productions (T2) at a price of $26 per share. To the casual hardcore gamer, these events usually don’t get noticed. Games just get made. Now, if you are a fan of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise, and you’re one of the teeming masses that can’t wait for the fourth number in the series, you really should have been paying attention.

Ostensibly, what this meant for you was that if the buyout was successful, GTA 4 probably would have been delayed until the 4th quarter of the year in order to make the holiday season more profitable. Take 2, on their own, needed this title to come out as soon as possible. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t in dire straights. GTA simply would allow a greater cushion for the next year. Among their own intellectual properties, they have a larger number than EA does.

I need this. A lot. Buy it for me please?

Ever wonder how the McDonald’s corporation became a multi-billion dollar industry? Wish it were you?

This will link you to a flash game so you can do it all yourself. McGame.

Don’t let the initial look of the site fool you, this is not corporate propaganda that will try to to make you buy more Big Macs or anything like that. This game is meant to educate on how the corporation works behind the scenes. Foe example, how the company overcrowds fields in south america with cows, genetically engineered soy and other such novelties. As short as the game might be, having to deal with mad cow disease and irate employees was fun nonetheless.

Enjoy!

What? You want fries with that?

Sometimes, I wish I weren’t diabetic. Stupid blood sugar.

Taste it for me and let me know if it’s good. You bastards.

Check the link. No foolin’ around, the DNS clearly points to the IP of the Evil Empire. Is this a sign of the Apocalypse?

I found this online and thought it was interesting enough.

**checks over category list** Yeah, I think this covers it… Hey Joe! We need an anime category!

Anyway, Sakura-Con is coming up again, far too quickly for my tastes (yes, I like having fun, but I have too much stuff to do before it comes!).
