Shacknews LoL

probably because the ribbing stimulates your prostate. Plus you don't have to wipe the small of your back so much.

Roomba 880 ran over dog poo and then ran over entire floor :(

So its time to let y'all in on a dirty little shacknews secret that's been around since forever. I'm not supposed to mention anything about this and I'm sure I'll get banned and demodded and fired for it but I just had a huge falling out with the other mods and gamefly so it doesn't really matter at this point anyway, might as well light a match to that bridge.

So a lot of the prolific/buzz generating posters on this site that drive a lot of user interaction are all fake. They're character accounts controlled by a small handful "social media experts" employed by the site, in a program that goes back to the days of Steve and Maarten running the site in the lead up to selling it to try to increase their numbers. Mr. Sleepy, Haiku, Fry, Dognose, Polansk, Bean, Tomservo, gmd, Abrasion....all those guys (and lots more, including myself) are really just a couple of dudes in an office somewhere who try to drive traffic to the site by generating discussion. That's why there's often swaths of time where some of them will stop posting -- the guy who played Dognose for instance had his contract run out and moved back to California to get back into method acting. Ever wondered why you never really see pictures of most of these people posted? Well that's why. It's all the same 3 or 4 people. Sometimes a person will simply be banned and their account will be taken over by one of these social media associates -- that's where the current "Multisync" character comes from. Started out as a real dude but had his account "repurposed". Lots of them start that way actually. Look at how wtf242's posting has evolved over time with all the different story lines for example. Same thing.

Often times when someone does a "name change" it's really just an account requisition where they had problems getting access to the original, so they just ban that user and "change their name". Problem solved. Why don't you think "sexninja" posts here anymore? We banned him and I made the Ninjase account "as him" around the time I was hired. That guy is a car mechanic in Topeka, Kansas last I heard.

So this might be my last post, but it's time to expose this place for what it really is and Snowden this bitch.

My daughters have discovered that if they fart next to the air purifier they can make the air quality light turn red. They have spent most of the last half hour taking turns doing this.

I'm in tears.

Fallout 4

My wtf242 run is off to a great start. High cha, maxxed out luck, above-average intelligence, and a bit of perception.

Every encounter thus far is a comedy of errors and farcical coincidences. This is going to be amazing.

Notable events:
--I found a clean black suit in the first house I walked into. It looks sharp. I think I'll wear this the entire game.
--The first raider I saw shot at me. The bullet ricocheted and killed him instantly.
--A few seconds later, a laser musket fell out of the sky. Thanks, sky. (fuckin weird? How can it be a laser AND a musket?)
--A short time later a Deathclaw appeared! Holy shit! But that's okay because some more raiders shot at it, missed, exploded the car next to it, and then proceeded to do the same next time the thing was next to a different car. They nearly killed it before I raised my sky-given laser rifle.
--Eventually we ran out of cars. The beasty killed all the raiders and ignored me. I hoped something else would kill it, like maybe an anvil from the sky.
--Without cars or anvils, I eventually realized I had to act. I had yet to fire a weapon in the entire game. I'd smacked a few bugs with a stick, though.
--I raised my weapon, aimed for its face...and a mysterious stranger appeared out of nowhere. He killed it and then vanished behind a vending machine.
--I shrugged my shoulders and walked into a building. Some guys gave me a set of power armor for being able to write one line of code to open a door.

It'll be this : http://i.imgur.com/g2BNH9T.gif

Today's my last day at my current gig and I won't be coming into the building anymore, but I couldn't leave without saying goodbye...
