Thrax has expanded on his original posting to make the first issue of a regular column to appear on the front page of Short-Media.
Well now, here we are, isn’t this nice? I have my own little corner of the wide, wibbly web to <s>irreverently drag anything and everything through the proverbial mud</s> talk about today’s latest technological trends in a lighter fashion. Doesn’t that sound just precious?

Get it here: The Bitter Crumpet

    My goal is to make people smile. It's the kind of article that I always wanted to see in the PC world: Something irreverent that just does away with 20 pages of text, and makes fun of anything ridiculous. ;D

    Have fun, guys.

    Thrax, you are, without a doubt, the wittiest and most honest ****er I know. You are the Rocky Road in this homogenized vanilla world of ours. By the way, I expect a major [INSERT BRAND NAME HERE] fanboy backlash. I can't wait.

    It worked. I grinned all the way through the article. The icing on the cake was re-reading [H]'s investigative report on Mr. Dirtlicker Robert's phantom Phantom gaming console.

    Overall, it was a nice balance of sarcasm and analysis with a backdrop of perspective.

    Loved it.


    I'm hooked on that damn Grow-Cube game too...I can't figure out how to max everything out. I'm assuming you can, though.

    Smile? how about laugh so hard that you cant breathe, so you roll onto the floor , still laughing, start choking get some air, laugh a little more, brush away the tear from your eye from the suffocation, and climb back into your chair still chuckling. Thats what I did.

    My my Thrax, your just a meany-bo-beany aren't you. Very nice article, I have been trying to explain to people that the wiimote wont' work for gamers. We are, by nature, very lazy people, and if I can't lay down under covers on my bed and play a game, I don't wanna play it.

    Again very nice :)
