References, catch 'em all!

it hurts

Huh-hey, kids! Today we're gonna learn about PSPs! Yay! *cough-hough* Huh? Oh, hey there. As I was saying before we're going to learn a little bit about the history of the PSP. For example, Sony was very desperate for the PSP to sell well. So much so, that they went to these extremes. I was reminded of this by Dr. Ashens, and his video about the subject. Speaking of PSPs, here is TWO Karoshi videos. Well aren't you lucky.


One more to go... Also, bonus points to anyone who caught the reference at the top of the post. Save 6 Days for last. Spoiler/suck-arific, that one. *shudder* I... I just sacred myself very badly, just THINKING about that horrible plot twist... why, yahtzee, why? Why, father? Cookie to the title winner.

QotD: "Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Hey, listen!" - Navi

Geez, that fairy can be annoying... I gotta play Zelda again sometime soon. What do you think, readers? This is, of course, assuming you have any experience with Zelda games or, indeed, what they are. She isn't, however, as annoying as SOME games I could mention...

I've had this song stuck in my head for the past few days, and it's getting pretty annoying. In fact, I'm humming it right now. Oh, for those of you who have played a Zelda game before, but forgot about it, here is a picture of Navi;>
Well, I hope that worked, because yesterday's Blogger freak outage, seems to have permanently screwed up my post editor, and is showing me computer code as opposed to pictures, which is harder to work with than it sounds like. Toodaloo! Oh, and anyone who knows what the title says wins a cookie. Happy Hunting!

Where's the Corp?

Q;">otstyle="font-size:100%;">"...while my power is vast and my capabilities many, it is impossible for me to enter the land of Technology...12">href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CConnor%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 " - Chzo

I wonder if anyone's ever gotten insulted when they walk into a room and hear someone say, "Well, speak of the devil!" I know I would.So, how've you been, viewers? I hope none of you have tripped, gotten hurt, or gone bald since I've seen you last. The only pain I've been forced to endure is playing soccer in a t-shirt when it's thirty five degrees out. That's much worse than no-longer-super-man-because-it's-a-different-game-but-still-kar-oshi.


*sigh*... Karoshi is almost done, readers... can you believe it? Only a few more days to go... I'm so sad. Good thing I've got plenty of other games in store! Also, anyone who can catch ANY of my references from now on gets a cookie! Happy hunting! A-tha-tha-tha-that's all, folks! EDIT: I apologize for the computer gobbledy-gook in the quote. Blogger freaked out when I tried to post it, and I don't know what happened. Sorry

Hey, listen!

QotD: You look just like Charles Manson - Anonymous (Famous last words)

Oh, hello there. You caught me by surprise. I was just getting some tea ready. Would you like some? Right, then, sit on down right there and I'll be right back. Here you go. So, what would you like to talk about? My career choices? Well, they certainly won't be like Super Man-oshi's. He explodes every few seconds.



Seriously though, I went on a program called Naviance today for school, answered some one hundred eighty questions, and got a list of results. Some of them were dancer, technical writer (writing manuals for stuff), and interior designer. Do you all know what these things have in common? That's right, I would sooner pull a Karoshi than do any of them. Good job. You will get a cookie, but only if you can tell me which game the title is a reference to (bonus points if you can be more spcific). Happy hunting!
The man who made this picture (Nobuo Uematsu) should be hunted down and captured, dead or alive, for making such an abominable representation of Kefka.

Oh, shi-

QotD: "My name is Kate Schechter. Two 'c's, two 'h's, two 'e's, and also a 't', an 'r', and an 's'. Provided they're all there the bank won't be fussy about the order they come in, they never seem to know themselves." - You should be able to figure this one out...

I wonder if anyone ever gets offended when they here someone say "Well, speak of the devil!" when they walk into a room. Seems like they should. Also, have you ever watched a commercial for an anti-depressant and noticed that they say that you should call your doctor if you experience suicidal thoughts or actions? What, do you call up your doctor and say "I, uh, kinda jumped out of my ten-story window, do you think I should keep on taking this pill,"? I dunno what these guys think they mean by that. Speaking of killing yourself, more Super Man-oshi!


I bet none of you can name the seven seas! Any of you who can wins a different cookie! Have fun!

That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance.

QotD: "UUuUuuUUuHhHHhhNNNnnnNn..." - Karoshi-Men
So far, a new record of two people have won the coveted biggest-cookie-you've-ever-seen, and are quite pleased with it's contents. You should all go out and buy Portal, for the PC, but only if you enjoy a very hard puzzler. For those of you who refuse to buy something at the say so of a thirteen year old, here is my personal favorite part of the game; the credit song! Man, I love that game. I'm listening to that song right now! Makes it really hard to concentrate, though. On a slightly lighter note, salaryman groaning AFTER he impales himself on spikes.


Good day, men/women!

My Braaaiiinnn...

QotD: Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all! - Kefka
It really bugs me when people gripe and moan about how the English language has destroyed the use of the word 'gay', but never used the word in any context at all before they started whining about how they couldn't use it anymore. I mean really. Grow up, people. I really don't like school. I'm surprised that none of my teachers have said anything along the lines of "Okay, class, you have fifteen minutes to write a two hundred word essay explaining why and how two plus two equals four. Have fun." That would just make my day. On a slightly lighter note, salaryman impaling himself on spikes.

Also, go look up Brian Regan - I Walked On the Moon on YouTube. Guy's amazing. Yes, right now. I don't care if I've used this joke before, you laughed at it then and you'll laugh at it now! Y'know, I haven't posted a picture of Kefka in a while. Lemme get right on that.

Hee hee. G'bye!

Son of a submariner!

QotD: "His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know nothing."- Watson, of Sherlock Holmes
Today I started reading Sherlock Holmes, and let me tell you, there are tons of words I'm willing to bet you don't know the meaning of. Depreciatory, bumptious, and cavalier are some good examples. Also, Karoshi!


Do you all like mysteries? No? Well I do, which I guess you can tell from my reading Sherlock Holmes. That cookie is up for grabs for any one who can tell me who said this: "First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second... I'm dying to know if I'm your type... I guess your ...abilities... would be a distant third." C'mon, people, research something for once! The whole point of these 'quizzes' is to make you go out of your way to find out the answers! Did you think I'd make it that easy? Yeesh, the nerve of some people.

Still al, er, never mind...

QotD: "The cake is a lie the cake is a lie the cake is a lie the cake is a lie" - Some wall
Today's post is going to be riddled with Portal references! Anyone who can find, and name, them all wins a new cookie, because you were all jerks to the old one and let it rot and die*. How rude. Also, if it seems like I am talking in my posts, well, I'll remind you that the Computor cannot speak. In the event that it does speak, I urge you to disregard its advice. It probably isn't helpful, anyway.
Oh, by the way, I've finished the next Karoshi video, so you should watch it and laugh as you do.


Oh, and I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed in the above test. There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the utor. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends. Because of how unlikeable you are. It says so here in your personnel file: Unlikeable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikeable loner whose passing shall not be mourned. 'Shall not be mourned.' That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted. So that's funny, too.

* This test is impossible. Make no attempt to solve it.

Exploding Salaryman

Quote of the Day: "I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously." - Douglas Adams
Today, I have no sister, and won't for another half day. Woo-hoo! I finished up Karoshi 1, and am working on Karoshi Suicide Salaryman. Hope you like it! 'Cuz if you don't, there is lots of suffering to come, my friend.


I, uh, can't come up with anything else to type about. Oh! Did you hear that Disney bought out Marvel. Yeah. Bet you can't wait for Disney Origins: Daffy Duck, huh? I italicized there because I can't find the underline button. Ta-ta for now!

I'm Hoooooommmmme!

Quote of the Day: "Nevermore" - The Raven

Yes, dear viewers, I am alive, though I doubt you thought I was dead. I would explain to you why I'm late, but it's a very complicated story involving coral, the Berlin Wall, The Scorpions (the band), the Michigan State Spartans, and orange juice, so I will refrain from telling it to you... for now. Anyways, today I bring special gifts, as an apology for missing several days worth of posts, and they are as follows. First, a story written by the long deceased writer, Edgar Allan Poe, who turned 201 this year. Second, and most importantly, do you remember that 'thing' I was working on for the blog I talked about a few posts back? No? Well, I didn't expect you to, so that's okay. The point is, I've finished it, and have brought it here for you to see;

Tell me in the comments section if you thought this was entertaining or not. Chance are I'll keep doing it anyway, but it doesn't usually hurt to have someone's opinion.
