WCG Gamers? iBook G4s?

New Font? Why not? So yesterday night I was watching the horrid show WCG Ultimate Gamer. That's not to say it's all entirely bad, just mostly. I mean really, any show that pits gamers against each other in both real world challenges and game challenges, and somehow fails at it has something really odd in the mix. It's a great concept, like MLG, but was executed wrong, (not to say that MLG was executed wrong, I watched it most weekends (besides, what happened to MLG on USA anyway? That was all good fun.)) I think it started out wrong with the drama. I want to watch people kill each other at Halo, not weep about petty emotions. There was a fight between this guy Mark, and a girl with red hair named Ciji. Both cool people, but one thing is a little weird.

Mark says, well according to the little caption box that comes up to remind us apparently idiots what his name is three episodes into the season, (multiple times an episode) that his specialty is in fact, shooters. It's weird because the game of the week is NBA Live '09, and apparently as soon as the game is announced he goes wild, because apparently he loves NBA Live. Specialty still shooters?

I don't know what went wrong in the mix, but there is something so horridly boring about this show. I don't like nerd drama, and there should be positively none on a show about gamers. I don't really know any gamers who like drama, nor can handle it, but somehow drama seeps it's dark cape in whenever a camera is near. Shame Ciji got kicked off, by Mark. I don't like this show, but one thing: This guy is a douche. What kind of a guy starts some drama with a girl, kisses her, tells her it didn't happen, then kicks her off the show by purposely going into the elimination challenge. Man up and let her stay in the damn house. I'm done with this show. 0/10. I think Sci-fi (oh excuse me Syfy) should bring back "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" That stuff was good.

Also, my iBook G4 came in from repairs today. I'd love to tell you I'm writing on it right now, but unfortunately the computer person we went to sucks, because he put the extra gig of RAM I asked for into the wrong computer, so we had to send it back, because my Dad doesn't trust me to put it in myself. Another issue we had was the batteries. Basically iBook batteries are designed to fry after two years, and I guess we have hit that time, because now we are down two iBook batteries, and when we go on the internet to try and find a battery, the Apple store sold it for an exorbitantly high $125.

I don't know what I'm going to do about that, but I honestly think we should save the $250 and just buy a Windows laptop, or just man up and buy the new Macbook. I want a computer back, I love them to write with, and this iBook just isn't going to go easy.
I guess that's all that happened for me this Wednesday April 15th, if I count WCG gamer from last night today's news. I basically went golfing today and read The Gunslinger, the first Dark Tower book, and those are all self explanatory. If I had to rate today, 7/10. Computer RAM fail, but the book was good, and I had pretty good tee shots.

Catch You Later,
Andrew.
