While sifting through dozens upon dozens of reader emails I came across something a little...different. This man, who will only allow us to address him as “Captain Clearance”, wanted to write for us! We get a lot of requests like this, and I would normally tell this guy to take a hike, but when I heard his story I just couldn't refuse. Unlike that Surpriselove guy, the Captain seems to not only know what this site is about, he even wrote a little something for your consideration. I hope you find it.....interesting....
Greetings ta tha Known Griefings! A little background on the Cap: I'm a disabled, thrice-divorced father of eleven (ALWAYS make that bitch show proof it's yours! I have my doubts...). How am I disabled? I tweaked my back while working at the Wal-Marts as a “Customer Experience Specialist” (fuck you if you think that's “just a greeter”!) back in '92. As such, I've been unable to re-join the workforce and have been collecting disability from the government ever since my horrific accident. And thanks to mr. Saddam Obama, this can go on forever! He may not be a citizen of this great land, and he's certainly not MY president, but all I have to say is this- suckling the government teat in perpatooity? Yes we can, mr. Obama, yes we can!
Video games! As a differently-abled
citizen with a crippling amount of debt, a huge alimony payment, and
just about the worst case of face-fungus you've ever seen ( you ever
seen a beard that smelled like finely aged provolone?), my
government check only goes so far. You may be asking, “ Cap, how
do you deal with the massive nut-shot life has given you?” I have
my ways, buck-o! Debilitating alcoholism, for one. Video games too!
I love me some video games on the ol' xbox three-oh-six, but I can
only spare about $30 a month for this greatest of hobbies. So as you
may have guessed from the name, I've become a master bargain hunter.
That's right! I'll dig my ass off for hours to find the deal of the
century! So here's what we're gonna do- I find the games, play 'em,
and then I'll tell that Rockmotion guy what I think.

The first game I wanna tell you about
is a little confusing. The box says Darksiders, but everybody keeps
on saying the Legend of Zelda when they talk about it. So I can only
assume the proper title is The Legend of Zelda: Darksiders. Weird,
because I looked everywhere in the credits for mr. Shigeru
Miyagimoto's name, alas, my search was in vain. The box says the
game was directed by “Joe Madureira”, which must be the English
translation of “Miyagimoto”. The main character, Zelda, is also
called the God of War, which is weird, because I swear I heard of
that before, but a Yahoo! search kept on talking about some other
bullshit! What the fuck is that?! I don't know!
So anyway, Zelda gets this big-ass
sword, and she beats the shit out of all the demons and monsters with
all these crazy combos and whatnot. It's insane! There's all kinds
of puzzles, and I swear you gotta be a genius to solve these things!
Zelda gets all these cool new powers along the way, like punching
the ground and gliding on these badass wings! The whole game takes
place in what looks like New York City, but all the people are gone,
which is friggin' awesome! I ever tell you about the time I got
mugged in NYC? Never trust a fuckin' mime again.......

The game only cost me a cool $18.99 at
my local GameSpy store, which is great because I had enough left over
to pick myself up some “review fuel”. I'm not talkin' about any
Mountain DooDoo soda pop or Rockin' Stars energy drinks! I'm talkin'
about a REAL man's refreshment: A 6-pack of Natty Ice and two bags of
Hot Fries! Hello, refreshment! Hello, terrifying heartburn! Hello,
Legend of Zelda: Darksiders!
Rock suddenly has a more positive outlook.
On everything.

Oh man. I'm not sure what emotion i'm experiencing right now. But I like it.
ReplyDeleteI know! I really want to get this guy on here some more!
ReplyDeleteThis is basically the best thing in the universe.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan! Cap wanted me to forward the following message to you: " Danny boy, the pipes are callin'. I'm not really sure what that means, but whatever! You keep on reachin' for them stars and someday you'll.....probably strain yourself. Anyway! I'm playing something new, so look forward to me next writeup soon! Also, do you happen to know of a good cure for crabs? I picked up this fine-ass broad the other day down at the betting parlor and holy shit! It's like there's a war going on in my crotch, and somebody's scorchin' the earth down there!" You really don't have to answer any of that, Dan. Stay tuned for KGB Radio Episode 5, where we announce our next contest!
