The... Mega Shark VS Crocosaurus!

I've professed my love on many occasions for what I believe to be the greatest movie of all time… Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus!

The funny thing is that I still haven't seen the movie. I keep forgetting to get it when i'm at the shops. But i've now started downloading it, so that I can remedy that situation… because i'll need to have seen this epic masterpiece if I am to be able to understand the NEW SEQUEL!

That's right. The Asylum have made a sequel to the greatest movie of all time, and I think that I am not alone in saying that this is possibly the greatest sequel to ever be made. Whilst I admit that the poster/DVD art for this one isn't as brilliant as the original, the tagline for this one is excellent. Whoever wins, we lose. What the fuck does that mean?! If the shark wins… it's going to be a shitload better for us than if a giant crocodile wins. A crocodile can go on fucking land, you morons!

Anyway, this one has a cast that might rival the epicness of Debbie Gibson from the first movie. Check it out, it has Jaleel White. For those that may not recognise this name… you'll definitely recognise his most famous role:

Holy fucking shit! It's Urkel! And Urkel isn't alone in his fight against the terror of a Mega Shark/Crocosaurus showdown… because with him, he has the cold hard logic of the greatest sci-fi Doctor after The Doctor, The Doctor himself… Robert Picardo!

Damnit, sensory overload… I think I just fucking CAME!

The... Cape Has Horrible Pacing

I'm sitting here watching the new NBC superhero "drama", The Cape, and my god it has the worst fucking pacing of anything i've ever seen. I'm currently 36 minutes into the first episode and so much shit has already happened, that it feels like they've cut down an entire years worth of episodes and jammed them together.

Check it out… and fuck you, spoilers…

The... A Heart Attack?

I was told by a friend from high school that one of our friends died of a heart attack today. How the fuck does someone at the age of 27 die of a heart attack?

It is kind of making me think, mainly because of the fact that I am nowhere near as fit as I used to be. Back in high school, I was a fairly fit guy who played plenty of sports, and I was on my way to getting in pretty good shape. A pretty bad back injury took care of that, and since then I struggle to do any exercise and is a major reason why I can't do any jobs that include manual labour. It sucks ass, as that is all there is to do around this town.

My stomach isn't getting thinner as time passes, and I am in no way getting any fitter. So how the hell does hearing about one of my good friends from school dying of a heart attack make me feel? For fucks sake, he wasn't as big as I am now in weight and as far as I know, he didn't do any major drugs. So how the fuck did he have a heart attack?

It makes me freak out thinking what the hell would happen to my kids if I were to suddenly die. Seriously, what the fuck would happen to them if I did? it really makes you think about shit when someone with a similar background to you dies out of the blue.

I think I might take a break from the site over the next few weeks. I'll be needing to take a break anyway, since I do have a new baby on the way and could come any day now. So when that happens, i'll post something… but apart from that, I don't think i'll be doing much.

The... Time For War… Dialling

I was asleep roughly one and a half hours ago. It is unusual for me to be asleep at such an early hour, but seeing as I do have kids… it is somewhat understandable.

Which is why I am fairly annoyed that someone decided to prank call my phone and awake me from a deep sleep. I am even more annoyed that it was on behest of someone I knew, and that they were all laughing and joking about it in the background.

Two reasons why it is a bad idea to prank me:

  1. Stopping me from getting a decent sleep and calling at such an hour in the first place is a way to get on my bad side. Come on.
  2. I have now spent the last hour and a half looking up ways to war dial on a modern computer.

What is war dialling? Have you ever heard of the movie 'Wargames' starring Mathew Broderick where he hacks into an advanced computer in charge of the United States nuclear arsenal?

To get into that computer, his character sets his computer to randomly dial a massive amount of phone numbers, in the hope that it will eventually connect to something. When he connects, he believes it is a personal computer and that someone wants to play him at chess and a game called Global ThermoNuclear War.

The act that he used to get into that computer is war dialling, and the name is specifically derived from the movie… hence war dialling.

This is what I am going to do to the people that pranked me. They aren't all that clever, considering that they pranked me with a number that showed up on the caller ID.

0755767153, by the way… and for those from places other than Australia, it would be +61755767153.

Usually, you set whatever program you are using so that it would dial a specific number, increasing the number by one each time. So say you set it to dial a number like 555-0000, it would go up to whatever number you specifically set it to go to like 555-9999.

But seeing as I already know the number I want to interact with, i'll just set the thing to constantly call for a few hundred times between the number I have for them… and the number I have for them.

This will result in them receiving a phone call almost constantly for however long I set it for, hopefully resulting in this:

The only problem is that I have broadband, which means I might not be able to actually do this without the need to go and pull out an old dial-up modem, and setting it up. I kind of don't want to go scrummaging for an old dial-up modem, so I hope I can find a modern alternative to do this.

I'll let you know what the result is when I can get it going.
