This link will show you towards where you can watch the episode "It came from the nightosphere" absolutely free :). This episode is the first in Season 2 of Adventure Time. Stream it online from megavideo! Click here.

Jake the Dog

Jake is my favourite character, rivalled by Finn obviously.

The sense of humour of Jake is so witty. And the random requests like "I'm only saving the babies" and "I will do this for you but only if you speak in rhyme."

It's what sets this show apart from the others, the humour. And this dog is perfect for it.
It's like what would happen if a 28 year old man really was friends with a 12 year old boy, except, like, that's not cool in modern society dude. With all the kiddy touching shit going down, only a dog character could get away with it.

Also I love his chops.

Adventure Time Moved to /forum.

WE MOVED! Oh em gee. My friends helped me move so if you weren't there you weren't my friend.

We moved to http://adventuretimeforum.com/forum. Yeah it's kind of contradictory to have the "forum" in the domain name and then do a /forum, to confuse you slightly more. But I'm planning to actually like, host this blog on their too. It will stay here as well. Don't worry guys.

Love you. Except you.

Adventure Time - What is it about?

If you don't know what Adventure Time is yet, here's a quick summary.

IT'S FRIGGIN ALGEBRAIC, DUDE.

Basically it is a kids cartoon, but with subtle adult humour. It was created by a guy named Pendleton Ward who is obviously awesome. It kind of reminds me of Ren and Stimpy, but not as creepy, and more aesthetic animation.

There is two main characters, Finn, a 12 year old boy, who considers himself quite the hero, saving princesses and fighting monsters for the good of the world.
His sidekick is a gnarly, witty dog named Jake, who is 28.

Between them they find Adventures wherever they go, and it is usually hilarious.

I'm 20. And it makes me laugh. So if it doesn't make you laugh comment here and I will pay you 10 internets.

Full Tilt's rush poker strategy guide

I've been playing Full Tilt's relatively new "rush poker".

Now, I'm definitely not a pro at poker, but I've been playing for the last 3 years so I know quite a bit about it. I started on $10 and am now on $40, playing just dottedly through the week. And the strategy to use in rush poker is not too different than normal No limit holdem.

If you know anything about poker, you know position is key. Skip this part if you know about positioning.

If you have to act first then you have to at least show something about your cards (hand).
If you check they can consider you weak, if you bet they can consider you have a strong hand. But when you act first, you are scared that the person acting behind you (after) will have a stronger hand.
So the fact is, when you do go first even if you have the nuts (the best hand) you're gonna check it (not bet)(on the flop. raise it preflop), because the person in a better position is likely to bet into you thinking you are weak, and therefore building the pot (more money).
OK COME BACK.

In rush poker, if you are at least 3 spots away from under the gun (one to left of big blind), and you plan on going into the hand, and no-one behind you has raised, then RAISE. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

If you go into the hand and no-one has raised. RAISE. RAISE. 3-4* the size of the big blind.
Anything from J9 to AA definitely raise on the button or the cutoff, likelyhood is the bb will fold or you can try and bluff them if you don't hit on the flop. They are in a worse position. You can always escape if they are acting strong.
The fact is, when you are in position, you don't have to have a good hand to win, but if you are not in position, then you must have a good hand to win.

Why?
Because this game is so quick, the likelyhood is that they either;
A: Won't risk calling you because they have a mediocre hand, and they can quickly move into the next game, you stealing their blinds.
B: Call you in a worse position (hopefully), and you can bet into them on the flop and hope they missed the flop or you hit it.
or C: They re-raise you and you can just easily fold, or whatever depending on your hand strength.

When you get to the flop, depending on how many people are in the pot, BET. Now some of the time you will be called, depending on your hand strength and ballsiness, and the preflop raise size, bet AGAIN on the turn. Not a weak bet either. If the preflop raise was high, then people are more committed to the pot and don't want to lose, possibly out of ego.

In good position, or BB, CALL A RAISE with suited connectors, or any other nice low carded hands, or small PP.

Why?
Because in rush poker you can pretty much tell most players are playing tight aggressive. This means you know what they are holding. AT-AA. Maybe smaller PP (pairs) like 77-TT.

When they have AA and a flop like 457 comes out, you think they are folding AA to your 68? No way. If they only raised 3* the bb, you can easily fold, but when you DO hit a straight, good flush draw or two pair, you can double up.

When you are on the BB, and you don't have complete shit, call a reasonable raise from the SB. You are in position on him. Possibly even try and outplay him.

TLDR;
Play tight in bad positions, play looser in better positions, and play a bit crazy with lower connectors against (low) raisers.

The Wombats

I love this song from them. Check it out. Comment if you like it!

UK Politics

As you may or may not have heard, the current party in charge (The tories, with the liberal democrats) are making a lot of cuts in the government, including public health cuts, and police force cuts, as well as making education more expensive...

In some ways I guess we do need to cut our spending, because we are in a lot of debt, but so is everyone else. What I don't understand is how cutting a lot of jobs in the economy and making them go on benefits is going to help us get out of debt. The unemployment in this country is ridiculous at the moment, and it seems like it's going to be worse, AND you can't even escape it to University because of the price rises in that, which looks likely.

WELL FUCK.

That's lame. What do you think about cutting jobs to save money?

Birthday Presents

So it was my birthday yesterday. I'm at the age where I'm no longer a teenager, that's depressing.

As people get older, namely parents, their taste in gifts gets worse. I got the worst styled fashion clothing, and all I did was smile like - "Woaaah... this is nice! Thanks!". I'd prefer to get no gifts, I don't think I can even return them.

It's the thought that counts. But next year give me money or nothing. I don't like birthdays anyway.

How to eat 5 day old pizza

Do you have the balls to eat 5 day old pizza?

I did.

Some of you may be asking yourself - is this guy insane?
Yes, yes I am. And here are some tips on how to eat 5 day old pizza.

The crust is gone, forget it. It's harder than a 16 year old boy looking at your mother.

Heat the oven to 300 degrees for 10 minutes.
Throw pizza in for 10 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble.

Remove from oven.

EAT.

SPOILER ALERT: You might get food poisoning.

Iceland Airwaves

Just got back from the Iceland Airwaves festival, if you don't know what that is go check it out:

It is so amazing. I've been to festivals before but the scale of this one is really small, and the bands are good, but not well known.

I met a lot of amazing band artists, and some not so amazing, and they were ridiculously friendly. Getting drunk with heavy metal drummers = awesome. And I don't even like heavy metal.

This guy has a good feed of it. - http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomz_iceland/

Also what's with the amount of beards in Iceland.

Best Halloween Costume

I thought this was cute. My girlfriend thought it was lame.

Strange Porn

Keisoku Fetchi. Don't ask what I was googling to find that.

keisoku fetchi (measurement fetish) – a big difference between Japan’s AV and rest-of-the-planet-type porn is the systemmatic nature of AV. other countries do facials, japan has bukkake. other countries do wet-and-messy, japan does nuri. combine this with the otaku’s natural love of data-for-the-sake-of-data (their favorite idol’s blood type, birth hour, etc.) and you’ll inevitably wind up with KEISOKU fetshi. labia and penises are measured both lengthwise and the other way. tiny rulers measure clitori. vaginas are dilated with speculums and then measured crosswise (how wide can you go. even slits of miniskirts are measured. otherwise known as METRIC FETISH. Japan termin.

The Pyramid Scheme

If you are reading this, you were born at the top of the pyramid scheme, and if you're a bastard you'll stay there.

Capitalism is a fucked up thing. Sure if you're at the top you think it's cool, that's cause you're not being fucked in the ass by it, and you are oblivious to who is, people who work bad factory jobs and pick rice all day on minimum wage, whilst the big shots sit in banks and rake in money for doing nothing.

You know what the funniest part about it is? The people at the bottom are happier than the people at the top. They don't need money to be happy, because they don't have it.
The rich have money, and everything is fake.

University

The beginning of the end is choosing university.

One of my favourite quotes is from trainspotting:

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?


When I think about my life, I only have one goal: Be as happy as I can as often as possible.
But I also have a habit of thinking into things too much. Take university for example.

University is the beginning of the end.

18-19, you don't know what to do with your life, not really. So you go off to university, usually with a generic degree in computer science or psychology. University is okay, you manage. So you finish.

You are (if you're lucky) in debt of £20k-£30k.
You have to get a job, there's no two ways around it. Maybe you get a job in the subject you like, you are now a suit, congratulations, else you work in a supermarket and get paid shit.

Now you have to move out of your parents house, you have to pay rent, bills, living conditions, and remember you still have to pay off debt.

By the time you've payed it off and settled in you're probably late 20's. You probably have a girlfriend, you might even be married. Fact is, you're pretty much settled and you can't follow your childhood ambitions you always wanted to do. You have responsibilities.

Now you have kids.

Now you're a grandparent.

Now you're dead.

Your life was like every other life that came before, and after yours. You are not special.

Fuck, that was depressing. I'm at university now, and I'm going to quit. I always wanted to travel, I got the chance to last year, and ever since I've got back I wanted to, but through guilt I went to university for my parents. But it's not their life, is it?

So maybe I want to travel. I don't need money. I'll work a bar if I have to, it would be more interesting than being a suit. I absolutely loathe the idea of sitting at a computer 9-5. I couldn't do it. I won't do it.

I feel like I'm aiming for a backup plan of a false dream that money = happiness.

Lifespans

Everything lives a lifetime. These bugs that you say live for one day, do not live for one day, they live a lifetime. A pigeon see's movies as slideshows, they see so much faster than we do, so does that mean that they process things faster, and therefore a second for us, is more like ten seconds for a pigeon? Then theoretically, they are living 10 times longer per second than we are, so when they die after a year of living, they are really living much much longer in their minds.

So when we say a fly lives for one day, they probably aren't. In their small world they are living a lifetime. The equivalent of what we are living.
