2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!

Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.

The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

Anime Boston 2009, my job, paranoia, Obama and the Economy

Posted January 14th, 2009 at 10:41 PM by Mario The World Champion (The Final Countdown!)

Welcome to 2009! We would like to start the year by NOT laying you off. Instead, please accept a 4 hour reduction of your work week.

The U.S. Economy is really kicking everybody when they are down. And it's even affecting my job. I work at a tube place and after the new year started, we were told by the higher ups that in an effort to not lay off people, but keep costs down, the plant is going to go to a 36 hour work week. Meaning, we lose 4 hours of pay, but we still keep our...

It still lives!!

I'm not sure how many of you at PC still own the original NES system. I got mine sometime in 1988 or 1990. Either way, I've had my NES for about 20 years, give or take a year or two.

So, over the years, I had to deal with the blinking screen problem that was consistent for all NES owners. I blew into the system, I blew into the cart, I used water to clean the connectors and I even went as far as to slap the crap out of my NES to get it to work.

So, 20 years of doing...

Hello 2009

Posted January 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 AM by Mario The World Champion (The Final Countdown!)

Now that 2009's here, It's time for the thing that 60% of all Americans won't do this year: New Year's Resolutions!

In 2008, my New Year's Resolution was to buy more Anime!!! I felt like I could have done more. Or bought more Anime when I was at Anime Boston and ConnectiCon. ><

So, what's my resolution for 2009? Cosplay at a Con this year!!

Yeah. I'm actually gonna do it! I already got an idea on what I'm gonna cosplay as. Now all I need to...

Goodbye, 2008

Posted December 30th, 2008 at 11:42 PM by Mario The World Champion (The Final Countdown!)

Today's the final day of 2008. I won't miss it. It's just a year.

With 2009 upon us, I'd like to wish all my friends and anyone who sees this, a happy new year. I might be here for the party at Midnight, but I may be retiring to my room to play some 360 to ring in the new year.

When 2009 does come around, I want to start it off the right way: by releasing a fanfic I started working on!!! ^^

Now I can get that 120 GB hard drive for my 360!!

Posted December 25th, 2008 at 11:23 PM by Mario The World Champion (The Final Countdown!)

Well, the reason I have this title is because for Christmas, I got $160 in Best Buy gift cards!!!

At last, I can finally upgrade my Xbox 360 from the 20GB I got in it to a nice, big 120 GB hard drive!! That means I can store more stuff from Xbox Live in it!!!!!

If I pick up something else along with the new hard drive, I'll let you all know later.
