ONLINE GAMING

Before I continue, I want to mention a certain expression I heard
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day
The outer literal meaning of this phrase is that if a clock stops working at , say. 11.30 it will be right twice a day. Since there is 11.30 am and 11.30 pm. The rest of the times it will be wrong. I looked at this expression and found it to be not all that truthful so i decided to tweak it a little

a broken clock is correct all the time
The literal meaning of my phrase is that if that same clock breaks at ,say, 11.30 ( again? Where is this clock from? China?), it will always give the correct time at a certain timezone in the world. At this moment there is a place on this earth that the time reads 11.30 if you use those timezone differences thingies we learnt in geography, hence a broken clock is correct every time. I havent worked out the inner metaphorical meaning of this phrase yet. But why should I do everything, let someone else come up with that one.

Turtles by Adam Bowman
So topic today. Online gaming. I am particularly not a fan of playing online mainly due to the the fact that Kenyan internet sucks, and this is after we just got fibre optic internet. The speeds are still very wanting. Fro instance,YouTube videos still lose the buffer race. A 3 minute 360p video takes 24 minutes to buffer. On a good night. So playing online games can be frustrating so I dont bother. But recently I found a 'game' that for some reason I thoroughly enjoy. Its not really a game ( hence the quotes dumb ass). Its just a kind of application of sorts. Its callled Turtles and I found it in iGoogle which is the pimped out pimpable version of Google. Turtles is about virtual turtles on your desktop that float about following your mouse pointer, If you click on the water you drop some food and the turtles rush ( very slowly) to eat the food.
     I found doing this very boring in a matter of minutes, and that is probably why I found out how to turn this into an online gaming experience. See, I realised that you can move the turtles by clicking on them and dragging them around. So what I do is I use one turtle to knock the others around. Call me a sadist but I found this very enjoyable. I love knocking them around all over the page and I wish it had sounds so that I hear the sounds of shell on shell. I wish also the graphics were better such that the shell cracks or-slash-and shatters. I wish also that the turtles could like have a chance to revenge by spitting fire or lightning and have more amazing super powers. Unfortunately, if my wishes came true, the game ( no quotes) would require a fast internet connection which would mean I wouldnt get to play it, so I guess its better that way. So until I find a more 'thrilling' game. I am stuck with this. Maybe you can know some online sadistic killing games that can work on12kbps. Please suggest

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT WHAT YOU HEAR?

     I am an audiophile, very crazy about sound. I love sound. This should not be confused with my love for music. Those are two different things. There are times that I will fill my mp3 player with only instrumentals because I do not want to hear how Lil Wayne can fuck a nigga but he's not gay or how Usher will make love to her on a bed on fire or how R. Kelly wants to piss on me. All I want is to listen to beats. Maybe get the instrumental version of Shock Value II because I want to hear the works of one of my favoutite maestros. Timbaland beats are just the bomb! Polow The Don is another beat maker I love.         Being a sound lover, I am very particulate about the gadget that transmit to me. That is why I am paranoid about earphones, speakers and those other sound transmission devices. Since all my music is digital, they have lost some of their..., what do I call it..., quality?. And so I do not want to lose more of the remaning quality! Back in my dad's days guys must hav

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

     I am very much a tech junkie. And like all of them, I have passed through the Apple phase. The Apple Phase is that phase that one believes that anything Apple Inc creates is the best thing that has ever happened to us since the previous thing Apple created. I am talking iPhones iPods, iPads, iMac and any iShit in general. I used to see them as pioneers of every new technology they said they came up with. But I am over that now. I am a bit too rational now. I do research before I make my decisions on these things. I do not base my opinion on just an iAdvert. My conclusion is this. iThings are way overrated.      Take the iPhone. Yes the touch screen is great and all but what good is a phone that has no network. The iPhone4 has a network issue that had it losing its network when held by right handed people. Something about installing its antennae at a stupid place. They issued a software to fix this. A software! How would that move the antennae to the right place? That is like Toyot

JUST REMEMBERED

Image
      Back in high school we had really shitty toilets. No pun intended. This is literal. They were just full of themselves. You had to strip down to your bare minimum (boxers) just to avoid taking the stench out with you. And those were just the latrines. Do not get me started on the WC's. First of all, I don't get it. The toilet bowl is as wide as hell's gate. How the FUCK do you miss that shot from a range of 3 inches. No seriously, explain that to me. Do you actually take a dump then remove it and smear it on the floor?      Skipping forward.      There this one time, I timed just when the cleaners had done their magic and went in to enjoy my metime . Seconds later, a loud knock. 'KUBU KUBU KUBU' (because the door is wooden and rotting)         Now, instead of being my usual self and shouting my ' kuna mtu!!! ' to let him know it was occupied (by me) and then getting ready to block the door from opening just in case he was deaf, I decided to go for an un
