What's Wrong With Today's Video Games?

A few days ago, I gave an interview (in Czech) where I mentioned my disdain for most of mainstream games of today.

Here I have two perfect examples of current high-profile videogames.

First, here is one of the levels of the latest Call of Duty videogame, played on "Hardened" difficulty. The player beats the level WITHOUT SHOOTING, just semi-randomly dodging bullets.



Even funnier is the following racing game using Kinect (i.e. controlling the car using your own body). Note that the player doesn't do anything during the whole race, not even pushing the gas. He finishes third out of 8 racers...



You can argue the second game is aimed at "casual" players... You can argue anything you want but I consider this to be very sad. And I consider it amazing that no high profile review mentions the interesting fact that you don't in fact have to play these games to finish them...

And now, something for the ladies

Or for gay dogs...

His Name Was Sonic

Today, I found a hedgehog on a busy road.



I took him home (riding on Metro throught the whole city), showed him to Jitushka and the dogs, tried to feed him and then let him go.



Note that if I'd left him alone in the first place, he would be certainly killed by cars.

Just like "District 9" without Prawns

Watch Vice Guide to Liberia documentary and be glad that you live where you live. Powerful stuff.

Must be some destructive mutation...?

Windows 7 is here and it shows you who is the boss

Even the Japanese are powerless agains the mighty power of Windows 7. I guess I'll stay with Ubuntu, thank you...



Even after they get it to work, it feels definitely unresponsive and sluggish, considering this is carefully prepared one-time demo on "optimal hardware":

Probably just a coincidence but...

Tokyo: Still Crazy!

I'm back from Tokyo (for the fourth time)! You know the drill: The photos (about 900 of them) are here. There are also some videos on Youtube (more to come).



Maybe this time I'll finally write something longer. Or not...

OMG We Are Dooooomed! (Japan EPIC WIN)

This is what I've been waiting for for the last 20 years. I give Western civilization two years max (to iron out the small kinks like the ability to move)!

Welcome to my city, Mr. President. Let me SERVE YOU!

Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao... Atheists!

The atheists are powerless when faced with LOGIC!!!

Sorry about my previous post (PF 2009) which might be disturbing for some viewers. To make amends, here is heartfelt Christian song, much needed in these difficult times:

Cooking By The Book

This video is a work of genius. Every second is brillantly done, it's catchy and it's so wrong on so many levels.

Remember, if there was no Internet, we'd probably never see this.



For those not "in the know": This is a mashup of two completely unrelated videos.

For those "in the know": This is the stuff Pedobear's dreams are made of.

Yes, I Consider That Funny!

I used to enjoy The Onion tremendously and I bought several of their books many years ago. However, during the years, they got stale and I started ignoring them, except for occassional chuckle when reading their American Voices.

Recently, however, there has been a surge in quality of their video section. These new skteches are snappy, well written, directed and acted, even - dare I say - witty. Take a look at a few choices:
