Scrambling around to find stuff to talk about this morning. Both for the podcast and this daily post extravaganza. The last couple of weeks doing anything creative has been difficult. Welcome to a slump were nothing you do is pleasing. Anyone who writes or creates has these moments and I am hoping sooner or later it will pass. Maybe the top secret, even I don’t know whats going on theme week will get me back on track. Now when was that going to happen again?

I am very forgiving and yet even I can get to the point where I will stop defending something. In this case I am done sticking up for THQ and Homefront’s crap ass servers. We failed miserably last night to get in and eventually ended the session. Personally I am giving them until Friday to see what happens, but this has gone beyond standard FPS online shenanigans. Now I could easily use that to trash the game in total, but I am haven’t gotten my fantroll license yet. Over hype and unpreparedness doomed Homefront,. Which is a shame as the game entertained me and I would of be curious to see what Kaos could do with a sequel.

Good news for me is I bought JustCause2 yesterday, so I have something to kill the hours. So far it appears to be a nice open world destroy everything game. I am not far enough into it yet to give an honest assessment. That said I do have one issue with it so far. There doesn’t seem to be enough ammo and explosives early in the game. Which would be no problem if you could buy more from the black market. Which you can’t until you level yourself up a lot. Seems a bit silly to me, but it is early on in the game. I am sure I will have more to say by the time the podcast rolls around.

From silly video games to silly politics. I laughed my ass off yesterday at the news some Democrats were questioning President Obama’s tactic’s in dealing with Libya. I laughed because he chose the same option that Clinton loved to use during his presidency. This is standard operating procedure for the Democratic party. Get a giant world coalition put somebody else in charge and then just run things behind the scenes. Make sure no military action takes place on the ground where things can get ugly. The Democrats have endorsed this style of military strategy since Kennedy. So it makes sense that the Republicans endorse the exact opposite style when it comes to using the military. I reference Iraq and Afghanistan as examples.

Which makes my next point highly ironic and rather amusing. Back during the debate on the Iraq war a lot of Democrats were against regime change of any kind and kept warbling on about it in the media. Well correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that what were trying to do now in Libya? That is the reason I bring this all up in the first place. Politicians on both side’s are such liars and bastards. The Republicans are no better. Bitching about what Obama’s doing just to please hardcore Republican voters. Sadly I don’t see this action or our long war in Iraq bringing about a stable regime change. If you want to see how you change the style of government, look no further than Egypt for the best answer.
