lets destroy the internet

We'll meet again someday soon

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Thu, 10 Apr 2008

Back in the days before letsdestroytheinternet.org existed, I used to go to various discussion forums and talk at great lengths about Treasure's Ikaruga. I must have written a small book about that game, because it's a game that just sparks this passion in me. I still get chills on occasion whenever I watch Ikaruga videos or play the game, and I've owned a version since 2003 (has it really been five years?)!

As you may know, Ikaruga has been ported again, this time to Xbox 360's Live Arcade platform. For ten dollars, you get what seems to be a really good looking version of the game, with the crisp sound effects of the Dreamcast/arcade versions, some bonus stuff, and some strange changes and bugs that will hopefully be ironed out to please hardcore fans of the game like myself. I haven't played it yet due to not owning an Xbox 360, but from what I've seen I'd really like to.

So if you're one of those folks who've been dying to try this game but didn't want to import the Dreamcast version or hunt down the Gamecube version on eBay, well here's your chance. You're not going to find too many shooters of this calibur being released for such a great price, and this time it's not going to go rare and turn into one of those eBay relics. So give the game I think might be the greatest game ever a try.

I'm not lazy asshole, I'm busy

Okay, I'm busy and lazy. I can't help it, it's just the way Youngstown eats away at your brain. Work-work-work, go home and veg out in front of the monitor. Then go to school and maybe work-work-work some more. Maintaining a web site just seems like something that would require more time and energy, and I really don't feel like devoting either to anything anymore.

But I am working on this site in the background. The random text generator up there by that huge text logo? I finally got around to making a script that can edit that directly. That horribly long archive page, filled with almost a hundred items? Well, on my test server here at home, I've got a semi-working pagination script that I'm tweaking (currently, it lists every possible page at the bottom of the site. It looks ridiculous with 20 pages listed at the bottom). I also have a few new ideas in my head to actually give this site some worthwhile content. Not, "HAHA HERE'S SOME RANDOM LINK OR VIDEO BYEBYE FOR SIX MONTHS" content, but actual content. I hope.

But I'm not halfassing it this time. When everything is complete and fully functioning, it'll be done and uploaded. I don't feel like screwing around with this stupid site anymore, I want it to last as long as it can and for it to be something I can say I'm proud of. Which at this very minute, it is not. If it takes six months to implement everything, then so be it. But when it is done, there'll be none of this sporadic posting of complete bullshit. Things will matter.

Wii sounds less gay when...

...you hand the controls to some oiled up, topless British women and let them 'play' (100% NSFW). I really hope they're actually playing, but I wouldn't be surprised if the guy in charge just handed them some controllers and said "COMMENCE TA JIGGLING".

Here comes grandma!

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Tue, 04 Dec 2007

FUCK YOU GRANDMA! Grandma's dead!

Yep, that's all I got for today.

Good-bye tables

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Wed, 07 Nov 2007

Web 2.0 can suck my ass, but trends dictate that tables go bye-bye. They're to present data, not align web sites. I, for one, welcome our new div overlords. Internetdestroyer4 is in effect and although I haven't implemented the sidebar, I like it very much. For now.

Still, there's much to work on, besides that whole sidebar thing (the breaking of which brought about this remodel). What other completely pointless web sites have gone through this many revisions in 2 years? See, that's how much I love you, you fucktard. Go jerk off to dickgirl porn bye.

That's how many days this stupid web site has been operational, which means it's been two years today. Exciting! Or not.

HOLY CRAP IT'S STREET FIGHTER IV

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Wed, 17 Oct 2007

Good lord, this is frightening. You can download the trailer in .flv form from ldi itself or Capcom, or watch it at Game Videos or YouTube.

My take on this: Even though the trailer is 3D, it is very stylish and fits the overall Street Fighter theme. I guess. I look forward to seeing more.

Pulls forwards please...

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Tue, 09 Oct 2007

...for some of the shittiest French Fries I've ever had in my life. Fast food places can go fuck themselves up the ass with a broken glass shard that's been sitting in a mess of broken hypodermic needles contaminated with the HIV. I want my fucking fries in less than three minutes max, not to be told to pull forward at the nearest door; or even better, to be told to actually grab a goddamned parking spot which in McFuckYou means "You's waiting at least five minutes, bitch". Even more audacity is the fact that new McDonald's (and probably every other shithole fast-food-flinging-fuck-fest) actually has parking spaces marked for the sole purpose of WAITING FOR FUCKING FAST FOOD IN YOUR FUCKING CAR FOR SPANS OF FIVE TO TEN MINUTES.

And you know what happens. You think, "Well, it's French Fries...it can't be that long of wait". And then time stops, and ceases to be. You've handed over the money; there's no damn escaping this hell for the Burger King right down the street (hahahaha, yeah right...they've started doing this as well!). You've not only wasted money, you've wasted time as well. Then you get home, and the SOLE REASON YOU WERE TOLD TO WAIT...THOSE GODDAMN FRENCH FRIES...taste like complete ass.

I did win free small soft drink or coffee through the Monopoly contest, so I'll be back...tomorrow.

SORRY BOUT IT

crithit5000@letsdestroytheinternet.org — Thu, 04 Oct 2007

So things have been rather empty here for the past month, due to a few weird errors in my original coding. Things are getting worked on now, though, so yeah. There's still some stuff to be ironed out (Timestamps are now handled differently, so everything is listed as being posted in 1969 plus some other nonsense), but I'm getting around to it.

By now you've noticed the new blogs that are hosted at ldi; I Am Furious Yellow by Necros, Land Pirates by Linx, and Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows by Guard. This is an attempt to bring more content to the server, because lord knows I'm too busy or lazy to do anything on my own. Welcome to the fold, guys.

Finally, Nintendo NSider Forums are dead. The core group of people at letsdestroytheinternet met there, so it sucks that they yanked it down. Farewell 3AM spam threads, idiot noobs, and shithead admin. Farewell.

UPDATE 1: Over half of the posts' timestamps and text formatting has been fixed. The only reason it's not entirely finished? Friggin' tired, man. It will all be finished by Sunday, the 14th.

UPDATE 2: All news posts now include their proper timestamp and text formatting. Yeah, I'm a day past my original target. Shut up.

Quick notes

Random bullet list time:

The fuzz be playing at Cedars in Youngstown tonight. Not sure if I'm going (behind in school work, plus Party on the Plaza is going on as well which should make for fun traffic situations and cops everywhere) but if I do, I'll be packing stickers.
Oh yeah, I have new ldi stickers. Real ones. I'm sure if you wanted one bad enough, you'd figure out a way to get one (hint: TITS OR GTFO).
Impossible Mission for the Commodore 64 is a great game, with a really bad ending. Possibly the worst ever. No. No. No.
TIME PARADOX.
