25 Geek Cakes We Want To Eat

Filed under: Design

SlipperyBrick painfully reminds me of what a loser I am with its latest list of geeky goodness. More importantly it reminds me that I’m a loser who’ll never get a chance to eat these desserts. Conner Flynn has comprised a list of 25 geeky cakes he feels were cleverly made to fit into his belly, all the while my belly remains emptier than a disco club in 2004.

Among many in the list are some familiar ones you may have seen before such as the iPhone cupcakes, some Star Wars cakes, the infamous LEGO Batman cake and the uber elaborate Super Mario Bros. wedding cake. Of course, I post the picture of the Enterprise’s bridge because I’m a Trekkie. Don’t bust my nuts about it.

Guy Plays World Of Warcraft All By Himself

Filed under: DIYs, Gaming, Internet, Software

It’s a no-brainer that some people play WoW a little too much. MMORPGs have always been about investing an insane amount of time to develop your character. We won’t ridicule forum-goer Gamer Prepared who runs 36 accounts of World of Warcraft because after all, that requires a serious gaming rig. What better way to eliminate the entire purpose of playing in a MMORPG community full of other players by playing with only yourself.

Finding a guild is just too hard these days and dealing with newbies is horrendous. However, these aren’t the reasons behind Gamer Prepared playing 36 different characters. What’s the real reason? He wants to raid Ironforge and Stormwind with his guild. What a dork. It costs him $5711 in subscription costs per year and when he goes to pick up Wrath Of The Lich King, it’ll cost him $1500 for 36 copies of it. All of that money for one unsatisfying night of PVPing with 36 of your own characters with a town full of idle players and NPCs. Sounds fun.

18+ Hours To Defeat Final Fantasy XI Boss

Filed under: Gaming, Internet, Software

If you’ve ever played an MMORPG habitually, you know how difficult some bosses can be. Especially if your fellow guild members are shit-for-brain newbs. When you’re guild name is “Beyond the Limitation”, there’s little doubt that any one of your members gets out of the house on weekends. You’d think a bunch of geeks who never leave their rooms would be able to take down the infamous Pandemonium Warden.

Nope. This was not the case after 18 hours of play and 20 different forms of the boss. Beyond the Limitation became Beyond the Dead because they wiped so many times. Eventually, everyone gave up or got sick, reinforcing the thought that they are utter failures. You see, they’re not failures for failing to drop Pandemonium Warden; they’re failures for trying.

Mszunefan Calls It Quits, Regrets Zune Tattoos

You’ve gotta be one fat fucking loser to want to tattoo “Wel-come to the social” on your shoulder. It looks like some five-year old tattoo artist did it, or at least thought up the idea. It’s bad enough it’s the Zune slogan, but even worse: it’s a terrible slogan. Considering no one bought the Zune except this guy and four other people leaves little to be desired in regards to being welcomed to the social. Thanks for welcoming me, now where’s the exit?

Long time Zune fanatic Mszunefan is not the only one looking for the exit. He posted on Zunescene:

“I am done. I have had the Zune since day 1 and have noticed little improvement. I have tried my best to support them every step of the way but the recent Xbox Live announcement at E3 made me lose it. To not include Zune Marketplace or the ability to load videos from Xbox Live to your Zune made me finally give up. I am in the works of figuring the best way to get a new tattoo to cover the logo on my arm. Thanks for all the harsh comments and you will see very little of me anymore.”

Note to self: never tattoo a lousy corporate logo and a terrible slogan to match, onto my skin. I’ll only cover them up later with the latest Microsoft OS logo.
