Robot Unicorn Attack :D

OK, in all honesty I was going to make the title "Harmony Harmony oh Love!" but I decided the professionalism was more important. For the readers that are all like "wut?" about what random trash I'm blathering (ok not really) about, there's this game called Robot Unicorn Attack (skipping all the relatively minor details like the fact it was made by [adult swim] games and produced by Spiritonin Media Games) that rose to fame after being released in February this year when some nutters of 4chan got hold of the song (Always by Erasure) that plays constantly in the game. Now this would be a bad thing if the lyrics didn't look something like this...


Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony harmony oh love


Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame


(some part are repeated. The italics indicate the famous line.)


The song is quite catchy and after members of 4chan requested the background of the /v/ (videogame) board to be changed to some rainbow colours, it really kicked off. Robot Unicorn Attack on the  [adult swim] games website had a massive increase in plays (now 34 million). The colourful masculine virus spread through the internet with pictures like this...




Well yeah you get the point. Now aside from the fact that it started some internet frenzy, the game itself is rather playable (set in some stupid magical world where you play as a robot unicorn with rainbow hair in a land where grass is purple and the sky is polluted with rainbows and pixies) and is useful if you find yourself bored. If you're really curious, check it out at [adult swim] games or download it from this awesome site called dagobah (play there too).

AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOVE!

FIFA 2018 location decided

It was decided not too long ago that the 2018 FIFA World Cup would be hosted in Russia by our vodka drinking uhh... Russians.
Each country that wished to be the host of the World Cup presented the FIFA council with a presentation with the "Why it should be in our country" sort of thing (sounds kinda like a job interview). Then the council goes through several rounds of voting, with the countries that receive the least amount of votes being eliminated (hahahaha England being taken out with only 2 votes on the first round what???).Russia won on the second round with 13 votes and are already planning to build thirteen (wow...) stadiums and renovate three.

On the other side Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. All I know is that Qatar is mega rich from all that oil/gas/power stuff that it's sitting on in the Persian Gulf (so their stadiums have to be good right?) and run by an even richer royal family. People in USA were super-duper-mega-not-so-awesome disappointed by this and not only did thousands of angry burger-eating (that's mean) American citizens spam Twitter with stuff like "Qatar? Wow. Soccer actually just got less relevant in the US". What's so wrong with the Middle East? Oh.. wait...

Anyway, wait around for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Rio De Janeiro and international relations to improve!
