I am the luckiest guy right now...
LostCrichton | 12:40 AM on 01.12.2008 30 comments


So, I had a very long crappy day. I got hung up at an onsite repair job for more than 7 hours and still had to drive back 3 hours on top of that to get home. Pretty much missed the better part of FNF and when I got home, found out some fucker hit my other car parked at our apartments leaving me a nice 3 inch dent on the driver's side to deal with. But you know what, doesn't even faze me. I am one lucky son of a bitch. I walked into our apartment, got handed my favorite dinner (steak tips and mashed potatoes) and then my wife told me I had two surprises to make up for my crappy day. The first surprise was a copy of "The Monster Squad" 20th anniversary on dvd, which is a movie I've been looking for at local stores for the last couple of months. She had ordered it for Christmas but it was late coming in so she kept it a secret. The second surprise was this...




I am in fucking awe how amazing and wonderful my wife is for doing this. She hung up all my Guitar Hero guitars (GH1, GH2 360, GH3), The Rock Band Fender and my wireless Ant Commandos guitar. Plus the Rock Band Drums, drum feet (the pipes are under the tv in a cabinet), the microphone, and the drum pedal. She even hung up our 2 year old daughter's play guitar (I got it for her because she loves watching me play Rock Band and Guitar Hero and I wanted her to feel included).




I just wanted to share my wife's awesomeness with you all. Thanks!

Ugliest Smarty Pants Contest: Attack of the Maternity Pants
LostCrichton | 8:41 PM on 12.29.2007 12 comments


So the best I could find in ugly pants were actually my wife's maternity pants, but she refused to let me take a picture of her in them so I guess that means I have to wear them.

Velocity Micro Giveaway Contest: A special video to all!
LostCrichton | 8:37 PM on 12.23.2007 6 comments


Well, it's that special time of year and I wanted to make something really neat for the community. It started out as me taking 3000 pictures and making a large photo mosaic, but Thornn dashed those ideas with a large blunt rock this morning with one of his entries, so I picked up the pieces of that idea and came up with something special. I made a parody video, mocking the famous "Noah Kalina" video where Noah took pictures of himself once a day for several years. This one is more lulz-ified and peppered with lots of Dtoid love. Enjoy!

Velocity Micro Giveaway Contest: Special thanks to -D- (a.k.a. I've gone vinyl on all your asses!)
LostCrichton | 8:01 PM on 12.19.2007 10 comments


Oh Hai!

Well, as I am on vacation, I figured I would take a moment to show you all where I work and what I do all day long. I'm an IT Consultant and PC Technician for a large box retailer. I have a cubicle at the local corporate offices but I also work from home. Here's a picture of me at my cubicle rocking my new Dtoid Rampage shirt that I got from winning -D-'s PistolMouse FanFic contest a few weeks ago:





BTW, the Velocity Micro Contest page is on my crappy laptop on the right. Stay tuned for more creative goodness tomorrow...

Thanks again -D-, I absolutely love my new shirt!

Velocity Micro Giveaway Contest: This is gonna get ugly and I'm probably going to hell...
LostCrichton | 6:29 PM on 12.06.2007 15 comments


Hai,

"I never thought it would happen to me..." That's what I used to think before tragedy struck my family this past holiday season. I used to think it was harmless to leave my Wii Zapper lying around and unchecked after a long session of Ghost Squad or Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Then one day I came home to find this...



This could have easily been prevented had I taken the time to secure and make sure my Wii Zapper was put up and out of the hands of my child. It's not too late for you. Take the necessary steps to practice Wii Zapper Safety: Place your Wii Zapper on top of a closet shelf, or secured in a Nintendo Wii Zapper Lock Bag or even use an officially licensed lockable Wii Zapper Gun Cabinet/Safe. Don't let this happen to you. This Christmas season, my family and I remind you to think of the safety of your friends and loved ones by ensuring your Wii Zapper is secured and out of the hands of the little ones.

Think of the children, please.

RedOctane attempts to rape digital wallets
LostCrichton | 7:16 PM on 11.29.2007 7 comments


Looks like the Wallet Munchers are back again with another Indie Music pack of DLC for Guitar Hero 2 on the Xbox 360.

The Indie Label Music Pack number 2 contains the songs: The State of Massachusetts by the Dropkick Murphys, You Should Be Ashamed of Myself by The Bled and Memories of the Grove by Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.

It will run you the costly sum of 500 MS points and once again it looks as though RedOctane is still trying to whip a few more yards out of the GH2 pony once more.

Ah well, at least they're willing to pony up for some new music to entertain the masses.

 about me

Sometimes I get the feeling that I am a robot sent from the future to have relations with all your appliances....on a more serious note if anyone out there knows a one armed dentist please give him my Myspace page url because he may be my real father and I long to finally meet him. I enjoy all kinds of theremin and calliope music and adore eating cheese, carrots and apples but not at the same time and not always in that order. On the weekends I sit on park benches and talk to complete strangers to compile what will eventually become the greatest American novel in the 24th century. While the thought of cottage cheese sitting on a kitchen counter frightens me, I am excited by the prospect of combining honey and jello in a swimming pool as a summer vacation spot. I dunno about hardcoreness but I've got my own fair share of games, consoles and accessories. Video games, anime and anything British or Japanese pretty much combat boredom from setting in. My loves are expensive habits but then again so are cigarettes and gourmet coffee. I prefer action titles and FPS's but I dabble in the occasional Japanese dating sim and lose my self for weeks in RPG's. I am blessed with a wife who is into games almost as much as I am...almost. I also have a 15 month old daughter who likes swinging the Wii remotes around and shotput them towards expensive electronics. I have yet to buy a PS3 because I am waiting for MGS4 and the new Killzone, meanwhile I likes to get my gaming fix with a healthy dose of Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 with a small dash of DS and PSP while I'm on the go. I love indie made games because they have the balls to push the envelope...in some cases rip the envelope in two, wipe one part with its butt; take the other out on a nice date and back to his place and in the morning never call again, bury them both in a shallow dug grave and pour kerosene down the hole for a fire dance. But at my heart I'm a sucker for those classic retro standby franchises...damn you Wii VC for sucking my wallet dry with mediocrity and promises of better days!!!! I have mad robot love. Praise be unto the Astronaut Jesus and have a Good Day!
