And finally - Just a little something to piss you off…
Britney Spears ex husband, Kevin Federline, who currently has sole custody of their two boys brings home a reported $30,000-35,000 a MONTH in alimony and child support.  Yes, the man who gave us “Lose Control’ and ‘Privilege’ brings home nearly what I make in a year in a month.  Move over Adnan - I’m fucking her next.
As if that wasn’t enough douchery, Brit Brit’s daddy is making a little over $16,000 a month for babysitting her ass.  Also, she has to pay for his ‘office space’ but thats only $1200 a month so no worries.  ECK!  Rich people.  $1200 a month is our rent in 2009.  Like LIVING rent.  Since when does a nanny need office space anyways?

I found a PS2 controller adapter that just plain works…..  I’ve been getting really frustrated along with the rest of you, so I went through every single PS2 to USB adapter I have (I tested 4 different ones).  All had issues except this one….

It works perfectly.  All I had to do was plug it in and start up GTA4.  The buttons are all mapped just as they would be on the 360 controller, since the PS2 controller is so similar I didn’t find anything out of place.  I was doing some real analog steering for once, that felt good.  And I was also real happy to see that using a controller didn’t interfere with the mouse aim at all.

The adapters I tested that didn’t work:

Trio Linker plus 2
Super Dual Box Advance
Super Joy Box 5 Pro

The adapter that did work doesn’t have a brand name that I know of, it’s just a generic PS2/N64 to USB adapter.

I just hope I can get one in time for Christmas.

Yes, there are some nice uses of bright LED’s like flashflights and these cool frisbees.  But I am about sick of using all my duct tape to cover up bright ass LED’s.  For some reason my TV needs to have a bright blue LED lighting up my living room when I turn it off.  WHY?  It’s a great TV, so not a big deal, I’ll just put some duct tape over it if it bothers me (the black duct tape is better so it doesn’t look all ghetto).

My computer has a bright ass blue LED on top, kind of pisses me off at night, good thing I don’t have to stare straight at it.  Oh wait, that’s what the one on my monitor is for.  Some genious knew I’d want 1/3 of an LED flashflight shining in my face while I sit at my computer.

None of these bothered me that much until I signed up for the new AT&T Uverse service.  The box that sits under my TV has, of course, tons of bright LED’s.  Red LED’s are fine, you’ll notice that your alarm clock has red LED’s and they don’t light up the room and they aren’t overly bright.   But this box has all kinds of shit all over it.  WHY?  Ridiculous.  I’m trying to sleep in my bedroom not go to a laser show.

Am I just OCD or does this really piss other people off too?

Well the new game engine they used for Crysis was shit.  It was full of crap that just made the game run slow and look bad.  Wow, look at all these new graphic features that look like shit.  The original Far Cry looked much cleaner.  I’m hoping they’ve fixed all this stuff for Far Cry 2, but I’m not getting my hopes up.  I just hope it runs as nice as the Half-Life 2 engine, is that too much to ask?

UPDATE:  Far Cry 2 can lick my balls.  To be fair I haven’t played it though.  I’m not going to pay for a game I can only activate a few timebe cause of stupid DRM, I gotta re-install Windows at least every 6 months.
