I had to write this mopey little morsel on the 25th of last month:

Filefront has announced recently it will be ending their 13 year service as a gaming file repository,  another casualty of our current recession. Man, this is pretty depressing.  I for one will be sorry to see them go.

From thier very own farewell page: 

"We regret to inform you that due to the current economic conditions we are forced to indefinitely suspend the FileFront site operations on March 30, 2009. If you have uploaded files, images or posted blogs, or if you would like to download some of your favorite files, please take this opportunity to download them before March 30th when the site will be suspended.

We would like to give a warm thank you to all of you who have been part of the FileFront communities we have built together. Your support has had a meaningful impact for all of us here at FileFront. Again, we want to give you a sincere “thank you” for your support over the years and wish you all the very best. -Keep gaming alive"

 and then... on April 1st:

"FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the site and will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an April Fool's Joke.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to suspend FileFront at the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made the decision to buy it back from Ziff Davis Media. We're happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.

Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and related announcements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fool's Day), we'd like to make it perfectly clear that:

1) 1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront suspending its operation was NOT an early April Fool's joke.
2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.
3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.
4) We would NEVER suspend FileFront as an April Fool's joke (cough cough, BULLSHIT!)
5) We are happy to be back!

FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming community's most comprehensive and trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of games while requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds. We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming community for years to come. Welcome home. Game On!"

Alright, t was funny when T-Shirt Hell did it a few months ago to drum up business... now it's just getting old and unfunny guys.
 

F U, Filefront.  I wore out my F key now.

Oh hay guys!  These little updates are fun. 

I just changed the artwork around again out of boredom (for Valentines Day of course), added a bunch of videos with the whole love motif, because love is so fucking special (mostly deathrock, futurepop, ambient, industrial stuff, and just whatever the hell I felt like putting there from my collection).   I'm pretty close to getting a few of these editing tuts done and posted.  Also, I've been working on this Quake Live Beta review which you'll see shortly.  That should be exciting.  I haven't had much time to work on them.  I've been doing a lot of security work with this site because of the amount of spambots and spiders that have been registering lately.  Thanks to JoomlaWatch , I've got a pretty good handle on it.   Sorry if there are any legitimate people that are getting weeded out by wide IP bans as collateral damage, but sweet Jesus , it was getting bad, and I had to get rid of a few pesky areas where this shit originates from, ie: some IPs in DE and Ukraine.  If you've got problems getting to the site let me know and I'll fix it for you.  The next step is I'm going to have to install a captcha system for the registration module, one that works with Joomla 1.0.x.  Other than that,  I'm open to adding new material (within limits) to the Downloads section, so if you guys are interested in putting your own work there, shoot me a pm and I'll run it through the gears.  Thanks ;)

Goddammit these Twitards are getting annoying.

I want to state for the record: I actually tried to watch this film, and sat through exactly 32 minutes of it (before turning it off and banging my head on the floor in an attempt to knock myself unconscious); it was the lamest, gayest piece of gay that ever gayed up the vampire movie genre. Holy living, walking and talking shit does this movie suck!  The whole Harry Potter thing just pales in comparison.  There are great vampire movies out there. Just this year, we had Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) which was excellent.

As for Twilight however - this is 32 minutes of my life I'll never get back, thirty two grueling minutes that I feel has been unjustly ripped from me. What's worse is that the internets are now totally infected with 12-16 year old heavyweight emo white girls and middle aged fug-moms that actually believe this is the greatest movie ever made, and go out of their way to tell everyone about it everywhere they go, shoving this movie down our throats like it was some kind of 'mandatory-viewing' masterpiece instead of the steaming pile of dog shit it is. Really, the internet movement for this is just borderline insane and the people gushing over it are positively revolting.  Please, just please: for the love of God and all that is holy, if you are a twitard emofag:  just get the f**k off the goddamn internet; go outside and fall down a well already. Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick. 

No, I'm not linking a bunch of pics and stuff in this article because I looked up a bunch of emo pics and fat emo-chick twitard images on Google and now I'm just  freaking revolted and can see why these dumb shits cut themselves.  This is from an old school goth, mind you... this movie is terrible and the fanbase is 10x as bad. That is all .
