All Your Base Are Belong To Us — The Kip Lange Homepage

Okay, okay, so the bastards have the Senate, too (in all likelihood). Let me go over a few things. First, scalping Rumsfeld is disgraceful. The liberals actually should have supported him — he was all for modernizing the military and making it more cost-effective (which is why a lot of ex-military hate him — remember, it took forever to get our military to admit they needed AIR POWER). But I suppose they wanted someone to be the goat, and Rumsfeld gets it. Big mistake. Second, if any liberal thinks this Congress is going to pull our troops out of Iraq — it ain’t happening. It’s too big of a decision. If it goes wrong and there’s a bloodbath because we leave, the Democrats will be blamed, and they don’t want that.

Now, as for scandilitis — the Democrats would be wise to count the skeletons in their closets before they start launching investigation after investigation into Republicans. After all, one of their favorites, the so-called “Lion of the Senate”, Ted Kennedy, KILLED a woman. Yes. Remember Chapaquiddick? That little thing? Mary Jo Kopeckne? The man got away with murder. We might as well elect O.J. — hey, don’t laugh, I can see it happening.

As long as O.J. is for “hope”. Hehe.

Ah well. I have at least two years to rant about Democrats. It feels good. And as for the Republicans who got tossed out, I feel no remorse. I feel happy that I no longer have to defend people who pose as conservatives but spend and act (XXX-movie style) reprehensibly. RINOs.

I actually agree with Rush on this one. I’m not the world’s biggest Rush fan, but I really think he summed up a lot of current feeling from the conservatives in this latest rant. (I hope the link works for a while, sometimes links to his site degrade over time because of how they update).

Let the games begin!

Oh glorious day…so far the projections are that the House is going into Democrat hands.

For so long now, I’ve been unable to bitch, complain, whine, and moan, since my party has been in power.

But that’s alllll changed now. 🙂

Methinks the nature of the Kip Lange blog may jog a wee bit to the right in the coming months.

Bahahahahaha!

(the only scary thing is Pelosi being third in line for the Presidency…and I mean that…)

P.S. Everything is officially now the Democrats’ fault. Got herpes? Democrats’ fault. Missing a testicle? Democrats’ fault.

Okay. So the Patriots had five turnovers, 8 penalties (or was it 9?), and still managed to hang in the game (courtesy of Adam Vinateri missing two field goals — that new sod seems to jack the ball to the right, Gostkowski missed one as well). They even had a chance at a last-second drive. But to no avail, it ended in an unglorious Brady pick. However, this is no great winfor Indy, and Indy will not go undefeated, trust me. If the Pats had scored on their first drive like they should have — or avoided turnovers — they would have won that game. Like I said, it was a minor miracle they hung on as long as they did.

And yes, Manning is good. I’ll give Indy that. The rest of ’em? Fuck Indy.

First off, I’m utterly addicted to this game now. Like I said before, it’ll chew up plenty of your time, so watch out. If anyone’s wondering, these series of games are tied with Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto as my all-time favorites.

By the way, if you’re looking for a complete walkthrough — albeit with some mis-translated Japanese characters in it (that don’t really affect the walkthrough), try this one over here at gamefaqs.com.

Once again, I stand in awe of the Final Fantasy series from Square. The not-so-final latest installment is, once again, filled with CGI cutscenes that take your breathe away, an innovative skills system, a free camera, and — for a refreshing change — really really really good voice acting.

I just got my hands on it today, and I’m just starting out on it, but it promises to chew up my free time viciously.

They really do a good job on the Final Fantasy series. I’m still impressed. This is most likely the last game I will buy for the aging PS2, but it’s well worth it, if you’re considering laying out the $50 for it. It’s definitely not a rental; you need a lot of time to play a Final Fantasy game all the way through.

This series is one of the true Cadillacs of the videogame world. Of course, if you don’t like RPGs (role-playing games), stay away from it and buy yourself some lame first-person shooter.

Here’s a wonderful reaction to Kerry’s comments about education (paraphrased, you get a good education, you get a high school degree, or you end up “in Iraq”). This ran in a few papers today, and I’ve been assured it’s not photoshopped (click on the image for a look at a larger version):

Hah! Hah! Hah!

Just in time for Halloween, no carving pumpkins, just carving up overrated defenses.

And, of course, not lettting the Minnesota offense do a damned thing to the Patriots defense.

Oh, how sweet it is to live in the Belichick/Brady era in New England…

P.S. FUCK MINNESOTA (except my relatives out there, sorry ’bout that — unless they were rooting for the Vikings — yeah you heard me…)

Yeah, I gotta say, I’m sad about this one. Anyone who’s looking to try to get their hands on a PS3 (egad, remember how horrible it was tyring to get a PS2 when they first came out?) is going to miss something — the force-feedback “rumble” feature on the new “Boomerang” controller.

Yep. It’s gone. Apparently Sony wouldn’t settle with a company that they had lifted some of the rumble tech from. The new controller does features this Wii-like motion sensor, meaning if you physically move the controller around in certain games, it will affect the gameplay. Sony is counting on this to placate force-feedback starved folks. I won’t be able to comment until I use one. The control, for instance, could be tilted in your hands in a certain way to give you a level of control you haven’t seen before — for instance, tilt the controller a bit to get spin on your ball in Tiger Woods PGA.

Sounds neat, but I’m going to miss the rumble. Although, you know, they could always bring it back somehow. I’m sure the PS3 hardware could transmit data to a fresh, newly-designed force-feedback controller from Sony a couple of years down the line.

For now, though, it’s the one thing I think I’m going to miss most. The Playstation 3 really looks as if it’s going to be an awesome machine (and for God’s sake, I know it’s expensive, but save your money now and buy the premium 60 gig HD version — and get yourself a service warranty, Sony is rushing these things to market, and that means flaws). Sony, as I said, is counting on us not missing the ol’ Dual Shock kickback when you fire off a few rounds in Resident Evil. I think they’re wrong about that, but I’ll live. Adjust and adapt, all that.

Jagshemash!

I love Borat. I say enough? Iz nice.

Borat have SpaceMy account. Iz nice. You look?

Not forget Borat movie, many yak approve.

1. The Patriots may have beaten the Bills, but I’m not getting warm and fuzzy feelings about them yet. They have a hell of a lot work to do to improve if they hope to advance anywhere in the playoffs (I’m assuming they’ll make the playoffs, come on, what AFC East team is threatening them right now?)

2. I guess it’s Fall coming on, but I’m getting more depressed lately. Although the older one gets, the less one likes to show that, which sort of makes it worse and cyclical. Who really cares, eh? Situational depression is no cause for happy pills from your doctor. We’re the most overprescribed people in history. Kid acting up? Oh, he must have ADHD, give him some pills. It couldn’t possibly normal for a young kid to be rambunctious, over the top, and a troublemaker. Certainly this isn’t something a parent should try to fix by raising them better, right?

3. I blog too infrequently and I blog too blandly for fear of eventually landing a big cushy job and having someone at the company run a search on me and turn up my actual feelings about things. Need to balance that out, somehow.

4. Just to increase my hits: “Kari Byron naked.” Although there are plenty of legit Kari Byron links in this blog.

5. What is the deal with me and incense? I have some sort of incredibly odd existential connection with it. I barely spend my money (video games and incense), yet here I am, lighting incense like mad. I keep two sticks of Nag Champa burning while I go to sleep. What the hell is wrong with me?

6. At age 31, women still scare the ever-loving crap out of me. I literally turn into a statue when an attractive woman walks by. This does not bode well for the possible continuance of my genes. Which sucks, because I’m not too sure in God, which leaves the biological imperative as my cause celebre, and I’m failing in that.

7. Lucky number seven — I’ll end on that.
