I’m tired. Weary. Downtrodden. Everything I enjoy seems to let me down lately. I’m a big fan of videogames but nothing’s holding my interest these days. I get on the 360 and play an hour of Saints Row or NHL2K7 but I’m not overly excited, and when the urge to do something else comes along, I don’t suppress it. Same with City of Heroes, which is just about the only PC game I do these days. I make new characters, I play old ones, I get sick of doing the same damn missions over and over and I log off. I hope when Cryptic gets Marvel Universe Online up and running they come up with more to do than kill everything and click on the glowing box at the end. Whoopie! Then there’s pro-wrestling. Zeus Almighty! I used to eat, sleep and breathe wrestling. Arn Anderson, Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Jake Roberts – listening to Gorilla Monsoon and either Jesse Ventura or Bobby Heenan describe the action was the highlight of my week. Now I don’t even SEE any wrestling on the wrestling shows. If it’s not Vince McMahon stroking his ego (much less himself, to say nothing of his daughter) with a 40 minute opening monologue on WWE Raw, it’s Jeff Jarrett doing the same damn thing on TNA Impact. Shut the hell up and hit something already. Is it any wonder alternatives like the UFC are gaining in popularity? People don’t want to see muscle-bound men TALKING. They want to see them kicking each others’ teeth in (it doesn’t hurt that the UFC doesn’t plan the finishes in advance either).
At least there are comics, right? At least I can rely on the escapism of comics to relieve the misery of working so the idiot in charge of my country can spend my tax dollars fighting a guy his family has known for decades and the vice president can attempt to murder people in the name of the sport of quail hunting. Yes, thank Osiris for comics. They never let you down. Not even Thunderbolts. For all my complaining, I look forward to it every month if for no other reason than it gives me something to complain about. And as long as I’m buying it, Fabian doesn’t mind too much if I carry on about it. Any publicity is good publicity. I”¦what the”¦
“¦They”¦cloned”¦Thor?!? OH FOR FUCK SAKE! Somebody with a pair of testicles, get Bendis and Millar and replace them with anyone not named John Byrne. Even Fabian wouldn’t clone Thor”¦Fuck it, I got nothing more to say this week. Please, somebody let Thanos kill the universe before anything else retarded happens.
Welcome to my nightmare.
