Ubi/Redstorm announced early today that the long-anticipated (since release) patch for Raven Shield is now available… on FilePlanet.

Let’s just say that the meeting of these two disparate events at the same point in space time fills me with teh rage

The bulk of this post will be the patch and it’s shortcomings, but I’ll use this space to bitch briefly about the patch-distribution schema (or lack thereof)

Here’s the quick-n-dirty for ya Ubi – If you release a game YOU MUST HOST THE PATCHES. Period. Full Stop. Etcetera. If you want to also supply them to FilePlanet as an official mirror go nuts but don’t force people who pay your fucking salary to wait in some grab ass queue because you’re too cheap to buy an extra 3mb of bandwidth.

Continue for the full-on bitch fest.

PETA’s Latest Idea

I like animals, I really do. I support the ideal that all animals should be treated well, even those destined for the slaughterhouse and that wasting meat (ie killing for fur) is somewhere deep in the realm of nonsensical idiocy.

That said I think PETA is the biggest set of fucktards in the western (or any other) hemisphere.

FYI – Comparing the Holocaust to eating chicken IS NOT FUCKING ACCEPTABLE! Forget good taste, this sort of advertising is borderline actionable. I hope beyond hope that the Jewish Anti-Defamation League barbecues PETA for this.

Yes, this is America, you can say whatever you like in most cases and get away with it and yes, political speech is what those laws were expressly written to safeguard, But guess what? Sometimes you shouldn’t. All this “ad” has done is help to convince people that PETA is an organization full of zealots with no conscience beyond “fur is, like, murder, ya know?”

Fuck you PETA. Fuck you in your goat ass.

You are fucking clown shoes.

Despite feeling like absolute shit today (and calling in sick) I did manage to go see Daredevil, read on true believers.
