ShadowBlame

The good news is, there's a new Shadowrun game coming up!

The downside is: it's going to be a shooter, not an RPG as you would expect for a game that was originally a pen & paper RPG in the 1st place.

It's like taking a tabletop wargame and making a word processor or something! Sort of. I guess.

The SNES RPG adaptation from the 90's was brilliant! IMNSHO of course! It just seems a waste NOT to take the RPG route here.

Anyway, at least the trailer looks cool enough. Check for that and more on the official site:

Blame Runner


If Blame This was made into a movie, what would it be called?

But never mind that. A wellknown French terrorist who is known on Usenet as "Jules Verne" - the name is of course a tribute to the late French karate champion & ornithologist - used the game The Movies to create this homage to (or parody of) Ridley Scott's science fiction classic Blade Runner. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/)

The result can be found on Google Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5752010990124102238&q=blame+runner

If for some strange reason you happen to be French, go here: http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=5752010990124102238&hl=fr

Blame Lukas (not Lucas)!

Many people feel like blaming me, even when I'm not blaming them!

A truly fantastic situation which was celebrated a while ago with the creation of a line of disturbing items, which can be found here:

The picture is an old picture stolen from the FBI's Most Wanted (for Blaming) list, based on my appearance from back when, aside from a slight brain augmentation, I was still almost completely human!

This classic line of products was thought up not by me, but by a friend who is actually a [mostly] friendly AI construct program called Norm, who is currently running the NukeM-All killer satellite which was kindly funded by the Walt Disney corporation.

Blame ze French!

I would like to take a moment to intensely blame the French.

I find them very annoying because:

  1. They speak French! Most irritating, that.
  2. They live in France! Which means they occupy a lot of otherwise perfectly fine land.
  3. They persuaded the People of Walloon to speak French too, wich is a pain in the... neck, since that means I have trouble figuring out what the hell those damn Walloons want anyway!
  4. They replaced Dragon Ball Z's intro song with a horrible French kiddies song. I have never forgiven them for that! Damn you, Club Dorothée!!!!
  5. They replace ALL TV series' intros with French songs. Those b*st*rds!!!
  6. They tend to be weird. Anyone who idolises Jerry Lewis is weird. Oh yes.
  7. See point no. 6
