Blog & Wario: Energy, Facebook, and Disney Apps

Think Disney.

Oh dear lord not that

Disney is doing some really weird stuff lately, but I digress, don't we all just love Disney? The magic, the songs, the....other things. Well, my point is that Disney is not so bad. That opinion WAS mine. Until we got a load of THIS.

 Disney, disney, disney.

Free to play? More like FORCED2PAY. I like Where's my Water but why do I have to connect to Facebook or pay $50 to get more "energy". What in the heck is energy? I'm sorry if i'm picking on specifically this game but, actually scratch that, I'm not sorry. But WMW2 is not the only vicious game out there to rob you.


I did a whole post dedicated to Facebook games. And though this is not about Facebook Games it ties into the whole theme of freemium and I will not let it stand. We need less of this. Disney already makes MORE then enough money, they don't need even 10$ more. So let's protest. Let's not stand for it. Rather then becoming part of the problem let's fight it.



I s'pose that's all for today, but I will see you guys soon! PEAZ

Blog & Wario: Obvious Troll is Obvious

In the last post I seemed like I was hating on everyone. This time, I will actually be on the peoples's side. Well, the troll's side. Well sort of. It's complicated.

Why, oh why, does this come up.

The internet really irks me sometimes. Actually, that's not true. People on the internet annoy me. For various reasons. If you've read my previous posts you know some of the reasons. But here's one more major one.

NO ONE GETS SARCASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Memes are not allowed here

 Sarcasm doesn't work  on the internet they say, and I'd usually agree. But who really likes Justin Beiber more then Green Day and their username is Barney Dinosaur. On Youtube. Absolutely no one. Obvious trolls TRY to troll. All trolls do.  So trying to fight them with dislikes and spams and comments is a waste of time.



The sad thing is that not enough people support me in this. I need more dry people on this planet to just put "Obvious troll is obvious". Don't make a text talk acronym for it though.

I hate everyone

So guys, just think. Would this person REALLY do this without purposefully trying to spite you. Probably not. Just some food for thought. See you guys later. And by that I mean in a month or two. Because i'm lazy.

Blog & Wario: How the Internet will cause apocalypse

I know you missed me.

Admit it.

gggggggggg

Okay so after the post where I told you I basically was not going to meet that many deadlines, and I took a break but with the weekend upon me I decided it was time for another Blog & Wario. Today I am going to talk about something that is not just annoying, it is.....DANGEROUS!

I had to.

The other day while I was on the Sploder forums, I saw someone trying to make it on Sploder til they were 30+. Oh my. Don't worry, I won't put a George Takei picture here. That is not the only thing. People are wasting more and more time on computers. (I say as I write a blog post for an hour). That is very very bad. Why? Well if you as an adult spend most time on computers you waste your talents. Especially if you are smart.



Another problem that was brought to my eye is people actually falling in love with machines[1]. As in marrying them. This limits the population, which effectively means the extinction of human life. Wasting talents is bad but this problem is worse.


I am going to go out on a limb here saying, everyone has a person out there for them. Whether we try hard enough to find them is the problem. So, as always, I propose a solution. Limit your computer use. With the addition of parents being able to limit the time spent on stuff, we are in the right direction. I cut down an hour each day to spend more time with my family. Do that with other devices to, which will mainly eliminate the "I love Virtual Girlz" problem two. If we do that, we'll all day some other way. Like atomic bombs. Or zombies. Or missiles.

I'm Joe Nunyabeeswax, and I will see you LATER.

B&W Update

No, not Beer & Wings. Although that would make a good resteraunt. Okay enough with that crap.


I am, probably much to your surprise, not a 40 year old man living in his mom's basement, and have a school to go to. That means I will be on the computer much less, so I will probably not meet all deadlines. However, I won't go all JonTron on you and disappear for a year. Expect more (sort of) awesome content!

Me, tlling u guyz bai i so saaaaddddd

Blog & Wario: Cease and Desist Letter, Pt. 2: The Fans

Okay, last time on Blog and Wario I used all of the fanboy in me to justify why Cease and Desist letters are wrong, and now it is my turn to become a company man and explain the other side.

JUSTICE!

is stanky

So, sometimes fanfic writers can not want to harm a product. But they do. Inappropriate stuff may ruin a  brand or series for a young child. J.K. Rowling doesn't support it. Heck, no one supports it! Today, I am talking about that stuff.


They can argue that it's fair use. And it is. However, would you really want to ruin that for someone so much that you would create that stuff. I guess they haven't stopped yet because no one has told them that it is hurting the new members of their fanbase they hold so dear.

SHUT UP! I'M NOT DONE YET

So here I present my solution. Companies can loosen up and fasnbases can tighten up. We all want to keep the good fan stuff but who really wants that weird crap? And that is all I can say about that. See you later today(for Site Slump) and next week on Blog & Wario.

Site Slump: TV Tropes

Hey i'm slump
I'm not so slump
And this is Site Slump!

Welcome to my very first Site Slump where I, put the Slump in Sites. Today, I am reviewing TV Tropes. This is a favorite of mine and I do not edit it so it fits all of the qualifications. Meet TV Tropes.

You evil website

Community

TV Trope benefits from a good community, one thing many sites do not have. Most editors list good examples and are funny, and usually enforce There is no Such Thing as Notability.

Okay, just kidding.

However, sometimes there are the templates that request a rewrite or say that there is something wrong with the page. However, this is much less common then other websites.

 Overall, the community gets a 10/10

Content

The content could have various ratings depending on how you look at it. However, from my standpoint I would give it a high score. Why? It's funny. It has obscure examples, it has stuff from even very recent games or media. One article documented the inappropriate stuff on the Nickelodeon (crap) show Sam and Cat just from a trailer.

The content is golden, and it gets my 10/10.

Pictures

Most entries have funny, entertaining, and educational  pictures. However, some don't and some have stupid unfunny and sometimes confusing pictures. It's just a nitpicking thing but still, it good benefit from some new pictures.

The content is mainly good and gets my 7/10

Conclusion

That was my review of TV Tropes! Tell me if you liked it and the segment and also what you want the next review to be about. I'm Joe, and that was Site Slump.

Just cross out some things and remove 75% of the content

Blog & Wario: Cease and Desist Letter, Pt. 1: The Company

To start off my first B&W since I started the blog expansion, I am telling you something shocking.




This is a two-parter.

The only thing scarier then that movie.

I am talking about something that has split us up. The companies and their best and biggest fans. What could it be? The cease and desist letter! When the company shuts dwn a fan work for whatever reason. However, some of the horrifying wrong creations cause this. So, today I am talking about when it is the fault of the company.


I've seen some great stuff go because companies are always like "MEH". Fan fiction(and works in general) falls under fair use, right? Some people disagree. If it's a fanfic, you're stealing my stuff, some may say. In quality works it's fine for people to use your stuff.

Here's a quote:

 "to write fiction using my characters is morally identical to moving into my house without invitation and throwing out my family."-Orson Card

Oval face is exactly right.

He has since changed his stance on fanfics, but a famous author we all know sure hasn't. George R.R. Martin, creator of "A Song of Fire and Ice" is against fanfics, thinking it is copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers. Some people write for fun, and fair use is in mind. Companies need to realize that it's harmless fun.

Or is it?

Insert DUN-DUN-DUN here.
