What do I love talking about most? Mundane shit! That's right, fuck current affairs and my point of view on humanity - we're talking italics and bold. I understand what bold does. It expresses heavy emphasis on a phrase, word or even a particilar letter in a word; this makes sense. Italics? I have no idea. Is it to illustrate that the italiced word is to be read with an altered inflection? All words are pronounced with different inflections, depending on who you are and how much lung cancer you have. Perhaps it's relative to the reader.

What I like about italics, however, is that if an entire paragraph is italiced up, anything within it that requires a different inflection is put into non-italics. It's a great irony that makes me realise just how empty my life must be for me to notice such things. For instance:

When will my dry cleaning be ready? Thought John. I have been waiting for ages for those mustard stains to be removed!

Above, "ages" was the un-italiced word. See? Of course you do, thanks to my freakishly over-developed explaining skills. The one application of both bold and italics that I despise, however, are sentences or words that are in both italics and bold. Exaple:

"No!" John screamed at his dry cleaner; the small Asian man cowering behind his table full of various cleaning fluids. "I wanted the mustard stains removed, but I wanted you to leave the semen stains as they were!"

Now doesn't the word "leave" just look a tad flashy? I think so. And that's why I am lobbying to get Proposition 254 passed, barring italics and bold from coming within three words of eachother.

Back with a vengeance... and no new TF2 weapons

I have been away, and I'm sure I was both missed and mourned due to my overwhelming internet presence. My wonder-riffic P.C. showed me just how much it loved me, and decided to obtain yet another incompatible and corrupt file.

Before I continue, I'd just like to point out that I have changed my name to Sarcasm S. Sarcasmson, as you can plainly see in my previous paragraph. Wow, I've got a handle on this sarcasm thing and I can be subtle. Why aren't I president of the world yet?

Anyway, after four weeks of sitting on a shelf at Harvey Norman, I have my beloved computer back, minus every issue I have ever had with her. Yes. The Realtek HD Audio Manager has been fixed. It is the end of an era. It's like my blog is now in season two. Or something. Luckily, everything was backed up, and I am happier than a hippy who has just found one hundred dollars in a sack made out of un-narkable hemp. Right up until the day after I had my beloved back at home with me, that is.

You see, Team Fortress 2 updated two of the nine playable classes. For those who don't know what Team Fortress 2 is, please see enclosed Appendix 1. Due to an overwhelming negative response to the previous method of unlocking the various alternate weapons, Valve decided to do something a tad different with this new update. Instead of a set of achievements determining what weapons were unlocked, it is now relying on random chance. One (meaning me, of course) could even unlock weapons that they already had. Wow, what a great system for a fast-paced, action-oriented online first-person shooter.

So far, after about 30 hours of play (including leaving my game on overnight), I have unlocked three duplicate items that I already have. I am not going to complain like so many others on the Steam forums, but I will say this:

WTF?!

Obnoxious fonts aside, my weekend is ruined - downed in a pool of useless and frustrating duplicate items.

I did make a new video, though. Check it out on my YouTube channel. That's all for now, three people and that Spanish man. He's my biggest fan - no really, he's sending me emails nearly every "día"... Emails of things you do not want to have in your food.
