Sometimes I see some cblogs and I see some sweet sweet pictures in the personal info bar and man I get so so jealous. I seethe sometimes even. Like that Gobun character, he's got some sweet drawing. And M Randy Dixon. Dang, I'm jealous. So now its time to bribe y'all.

So I bought the Indie Royale May Hurray Bundle way back in May. I picked it up pretty much for Dungeon Defenders (a very nice game). There are 4 other games in the bundle that just don't look like my cup of tea. I don't know, puzzley stuff, music rythm stuff, whatever. They look cool, but I'd play them for about 4 minutes and then never again. So I thought, "Hey, give these good games away to the people, and squeeze them into drawing or singing or writing poems about you."

Alex, you son of a bitch. You've done it again.

The games are:
-Containment: The Zombie Puzzler
-Data Jammers: FastForward
-Brainpipe - A Plunge to Unhumanity
-Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space
and a soundtracks to:
-Voodoo Interface & Temperal Logic Grid Blues

They all run on PC, Mac, or Linux and the top three have Steam keys too.

Wow, your thinking ok ok wow wow ok sweetness. Yep. And guess what, super easy contest time.
You can win by either:
-Drawing a picture of me.
-writing a song about me.
-writing a poem about me.
-Taking a nude photo and emailing it to M Randy Dixon. (Note: Emailing M Randy will not result in any games, just moral victories.)


Post it in the comments below, and i'll make an announcement blog in ten days (10/14/12) to reveal the winners.

Good luck people, and may rock and roll carry you to victory.
(MS Paint is more than welcome!)

So I'm not buying Borderlands 2 today. A little too much money and I'm going on vacation tomorrow. HOWEVER, in the future I do plan on picking it up and in that time I call DIBS on that cutie pie of my eye GAGIE! I love necromancer characters and I think this is a clever twist to fit that playstyle into BL2. So there.
I love you.

Pigtails



I've always wanted to wear pigtails.


Robots



I have no mechanical prowess. I wasn't sure how to change my rear blinker on my Chevy Aveo so I brought it to the dealer (Turns out you cannot take off the back light cover by yourself without doing some major trunk damage, I'M SMART THEN!) Therefore, I live vicariously through her.

KITTENS!



Just in case she gets cute kitten DLC.

DESPERATE PLEA FOR ATTENTION



Please love me Dtoid.

Those are the reasons why I love pasta.

Can't go to PAX but want to see the show floor or you just can't wait! Well, you're in luck! I snuck in and got the goods, including game announcements! Check it out!

PAX PREVIEW!!!


(question: When did they get rid of the embedded video stuff? Am I just blind now?)










After some helpful insight on my part, a flagrant abuse of power is at hand.

Samit Sarkar is gone. He's off hanging out with busty people drinking Mai Thai's (1/2 oz Orgeat, 3/4 oz Orange Curaçao, 1 oz lime juice, 1.5-2 oz Dark Rum depending on booziness desired. Shake with crushed ice, dump in glass, garnish with mint) on a beach with piles of money that he's using to make papercraft of Derek Jeter. He's gonna be missed. Especially his editorial eye.

Recently, there was a slight but ever so embarrassing GRAMMATICAL ERROR in an post by the most beloved man of the masses M. Randy Dixon. Hey it happens, you know? Leave the man alone, please don't tweet his shaming remarks at him @mRandyDixon

Everyone needs help. It seems my super duper form of helping a buddy out was...unwanted.



Yeah, thats right, PUNISHED. That's like being a fit, muscular, young, and quite handsome man helping a feeble, weak, smelly old lady across the street and getting SLAPPED IN THE GOOD LOOKING FACE FOR IT!!! Maybe I shouldn't have interfered. Maybe I hurt his pride. Maybe it's because I'm so dominating at TF2. Maybe I should apologize. But does a cheetah apologize for being fast?

M Randy didn't even show up he was so scarred of my Heavy prowess.

So I've been punished...and now Alex Barbatsis, Homecoming candidate, is now Alex Butthead, homecoming candidate.

Now, what does this mean for you? Farts. It means farts.

I pondered, "what do buttheads do?" They fart. They fart, they butt burp,they poot, they bring the thunder from down under, they release the (butt) kraken.

I am now a butthead, it is in my nature to toot. My comments will reflect that. Most likely with a simple "toot." Maybe I might express an opinion. Maybe not. It won't reflect on the quality of the blog. It will merely be my nature.

Welcome to Butthead Dome.

Toot.

I don’t understand when people say their Wii just gathers dust in the corner. I use my Wii everyday. I always am fumbling for the Wiimote after setting it down in some foreign corner. “Now why is this in the laundry basket?” After the search party celebrates, I adjust my Wii Senor Bar and turn the console on. Familiar musical tones drawl through the room as I click away at the menu. Did you see that Instant Netflix just added the Invisible Man? Claude Raines, classic. I got about half way through it before I had to leave for work, but guess what!? I could continue to watch it on my 3DS! Radical! At least there’s something to do on that system in addition to unwrapping all those gifts. I can’t wait to watch some 3D trailers and take 3D pictures that I can share with my friends (is that possible?). I just leave my Spot Pass on because it has to be that way and its fun. Street Passing is cool too! I learned that this guy, Jared, his favorite game is the eShop. I didn’t realize there was anything there even! You learn something every day. Let me check it out right now for some cool apps. I think I’ll get Mario Clock and Animal Crossing Calculator so I can do easy math and know the time wherever I go, all in one handy device. At only $1.99 apiece, even Nook cannot deny that deal! Now, the real question is do I get My Notebook: Red or My Notebook: Green? Also, does anybody know how to print off my Ambassador certificate? I really want to show my parents but I ran out of paper for my Gameboy Printer.



When was the last time I played a game on either of those bad boys? Oh yeah, Super Mario RPG! I also just downloaded Mario Party 2 because hootenannies on the Western board are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I haven’t played it yet because I have yet to find where to plug a Gamecube controller in the system. But who needs games? Films, photos, weather, and global polls are a much better focus for a games console. And no, I do not wear cologne or perfume, but thanks for asking Nintendo. Are you looking for gift ideas? My birthday is just around the corner (January 24th). You don’t have to get me anything, but if you really want to, I heard about this game that sounds really cool called The Last Story. But that’s just a game, and I want you guys to focus on the important stuff, like what I’m going to have to plug into my system next to maybe think about playing a game. (Will the frakennub have Pokedex support?)

*yeah, I use my Wii for Netflix, but thats only because I don’t have a PS3 or Xbox 360 or a HD tv.
