Bladen Force

The US Department of Education can suck my balls.

That is all.

UPDATE: I have waded through the bureaucratic sea of bullshit to receive the sword from the stone.

All I can say is that I really hope this comes out for the Nintendo Wii.

Alright, as my first post I’m going to just inform everyone of how somethings are going to be changing around here.

Bladen Force started out primarily as Jazon, Coyote, and Kenoli (Mason). Well… somewhere in the past 6 months I jumped on board. Well, by allowing me to come on we can all focus on our individual tasks. Jazon, Coyote, and Mason pretty much collaborate to write (or so I imagine, I’m still rather blurred on how they do some of the things they do), Mason and I do artwork (I’ll be drawing the comics, and refining the text - as I’m a “Grammar Nazi”), at least I think Mason is going to be doing artwork… he has before. But anyway, with all of this in mind, as well as this new news system that Jazon has implemented, bladenforce.com should be updating much more frequently now. If Jazon and I can match art-styles (the only real hindrance in the art department currently), I am hoping that Bladen Force (or The Bladen Force Show as it is listed now) will be updating once a week. Stag Beetle is not my thing, that’s a Jazon-Mason venture, so that should only really update when either of them decides to make another one. And you never know… maybe eventually Bladen Force will update multiple times in a week. We’ll see. We all have ideas for the future of this place, some more grandiloquent than others, but nevertheless… we will make this work… we will make it funny… and we’ll try pretty damn hard not to kill each other.

Ever since the acquisition (or for some of you, inquisition I suppose) of MySpace by News Corp., I’ve noticed a lot of changes in the way that MySpace works.

First off, it has become a horrid breeding ground for crappy media attempts at being “hip” and “cool” or “in” or whatever the hell kids call being socially attractive these days. You know the whole “Let’s add this random person as a friend and use them to promote our new movie!” or some crap like that. It’s really aggravating.

Secondly, I’m getting tired of the censorship. I personally haven’t noticed it, but I’m hearing a lot more stories about how MySpace is randomly censoring links to other websites, or people that talk down Rupert Murdoch, they find their posts mysteriously vanishing. It usually ends with the posts mysteriously reappearing and them chalking it up to an “error”. Look MySpace, you don’t fool anybody. This current war against other websites with “My” and/or “Space” in their name demonstrates that you’re absolutely terrified of competition, even from websites that benefit MySpace itself! (Such as the layout websites with similar names.) You are doing nothing but alienating the population, and I swear to God, if I hear one more thing about “Web 2.0″ shenanigans, I’m going to stab someone in the face. I’m tired of hearing the term because it has no real meaning. It was created to try and demonstrate a superiority over other websites and services. I could say my asshole is “Shit 2.0 Compatible” but it wouldn’t mean anything. Point is, I’m tired of MySpace’s crazy adventures into fascism, and I’m tired of people saying < INSERT NAME OF SOMETHING HERE > 2.0 to mean “Holier Than Thou.”
