Day 183: Once More Into The City of Heroes

June 12, 2010 by Mister Viddy

Paragon City, they call it the city of heroes but really it is nothing more than a facade. Lurking in every alley, parking garage and dark street are dangers, even for a hero. I roll solo so for me it is always a matter of watching my ass or else I’m through. I’ve kicked a lot of ass all throughout Paragon City but just look at this. Me, face down in the sewer just after having had my ass handed to me on a platter. You win some and you lose some it’s just that in the city of heroes, Paragon City, the losing part can hurt.

But don’t worry about me kids, as you can see I always bounce back. After all, it’s just a game.

Day 114: City of Heroes – Faultline

April 5, 2010 by Mister Viddy

This past Saturday I rolled into the Faultline neighborhood in City of Heroes, quite intent on handing the bad guys their asses. I did not fail.

Maybe it was lack of sleep or maybe it was just too much caffeine but one thing was certain, I wasn’t taking any lip from any of the gangs down in Faultline.

I’ve said it more than once, being a super hero is tough. Even with my awesome powers it can be difficult gaining respect when you fly around in a skin tight outfit with your junk out on display for the whole world to see. I’ve been the victim of harassment on more than one occasion here in Paragon City. I remember this one time when I flew in and plucked a lady from the top of a burning building and while I was flying her to safety she was giving me an unwanted reach around. I’ll tell you what, that was awkward.

Even the gangs here in Faultline, well throughout Paragon City in general, will sometimes try and push my buttons with snide little comments even though it always ends the same way. With me handing them their asses on a platter.

All I want is to be shown a little respect. Don’t hate me because I look so good in spandex. I worked hard for this body. Anyways, I am gonna bounce for now. Thanks for hearing me out. If your ever in Paragon City feel free to look me up. We can have coffee or something.

Day 96: More of The Stupid

March 18, 2010 by Mister Viddy

Day 96 of the post a day saga revisits the stupid. And who or what is the stupid? The stupid may be you or it may be someone you know. The stupid does not limit itself to any particular race, creed or culture. The stupid is all around us. It is like a retarded version of The Force. The stupid my friends, is something I encounter on a daily basis. Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 6pm I am bombarded by the stupid. It never fails to amaze me but just when I think I have spoken to the dumbest person on the planet, the next one calls in. Now to be fair, not every encounter of the day results in the stupid. I have had the pleasure of meeting and helping some of the nicest people in the world but that is about as rare as winning the lottery. Please, I wasn’t born yesterday and I can assure you the problems you are experiencing are most likely caused by you and not by our systems. Not to brag, but how is it that I have successfully set up dozens of my own emails accounts in Outlook and on various cell phones and have never once experienced failure but yet you complain that you have never gotten your email to work? Fuck me, I apologize for being so cynical but I’m not buying your story. The cause of the problem is this, You Are Stupid! OMG, did I just say that? Yes, you are a stupid motherfucker.

Okay, so now that I have that out of my system let me comment on another thing. Building a website is not easy. Or should I say that building even a remotely decent looking website is not easy. I’m sorry if the pretty advertisement told you how easy it would be to design a great looking website in an hour. You were lied to. Maybe you should have thought about this, you have trouble tying your own shoes so what made you think you could build a website. Our tools are not broken, you are. Another thing is this, the reason why you can’t find yourself on the search engines is because your website is shit. You can’t write a legible sentence much less a complete paragraph of relevant information and this is why Google has you sitting on page 5,295 of whatever keywords you typed in. And this is my fault how? Oh right, because you say it is. Alrighty, I’ll take responsibility for your failures. After all, I am the master of the universe.
