Top 10-Reasons why the internet has hope.

Most of my posts here so far revolve around the problems of the internet. Despite all of the trolls and annoying stuff, the horrible people, the gossip, the internet has some redeeming qualities.

Like letting me post.

AHAHAHAHHA-no

So today, i'm listing the top 10 reasons why the internet has hope.

10: Kids 

Hear me out here guys. Kids on the internet is a good thing. Not playing Modern Warfare 6 and trolling, but on the internet.

Interacting with kids can be better sometimes. They have no weird stuff about them and they have a better freaking imagination. It also expands the hope for our world which is currently very small. You can learn lots from the internet and even learn to make a living out of it when your older.

9: Youtube Communities

Be it Normal Boots, Hidden Block, Polaris, TGS whatever, Youtube Communites make us have hope. Why? They have a good feel to them. They often mention and link to more stuff which leads us to more non-sucky stuff. Also, they are organized, funny, and usually great pastimes.

8: Free Games

In a time where Capcom can get away with releasing 6 versions of the same game, free and fun games are a blessing. Old stuff can teach newer gamers difficulty in games, and can give nostalgia to older players without robbing them.

7: Good Fan-Fics

I know this is surprising, but there is such a thing as a good fanfiction. LE GASP, REALLY? Well, some fan-fics can be good. A lot of them are complete rubbish, but a few may even get excepted into canon and Kindle World seeks to share that good stuff with us and make less people afraid of even touching a fanfic.

Just Kidding

6: Fanbases

Any writer or director or creator of any kind of media knows Fanbases can really suck. However, there are some (few) good fans who advance creations with petitions, emails, fanart, and positive encouragement. They can bring dead yet awesome stuff back to life with popular demand. Some fans make the rest of the fanbase look mean and whiny and give them a bad name, but the good ones can help advance a great work into stardom.

5: Big companies and Organizations on Facebook and other social networks

How many of you stopped while reading this article to check your Facebook or Twitter. Well I have no readers so that is a horrible example but the point is that social networks are popular. How do we learn things? Social Networks. How do we get updated? Social Networks. How do we get petitions? Social Networks. By using these tools, companies and even the Goverment can update us on important stuff and therefor we are more aware then we were without these sites.

4: Good Fanart

I have said good a lot during this post. Why? Simply because most of it or some it is bad. However, some modern day picassos started out on DA or other artistic websites. Some companies have even used fanart before. I currently follow a great blog called Peira Noid's Blog on Blogger. Link will be at the end of this post by the way. The artist there could become a real life artist. Good Fanart is awesome.

3: Troll Wikis

Why would this be number 3? It's because it's an awesome pastime and one that is funny. I read lots of Encyclopedia Dramatica because it's funny. It's harmless and awesome and can make your day more then any thing above it on the list.

2: Streaming

Streaming is AWESOME. Before we had to tune in every week and if we missed the episode, life was over man. Game Over. Now with Hulu and Netflix though, we can watch at anytime. It descreases the ammount of TV we watch for the finer things of life, and is a great thing for TV lovers such as myself.

1: Wikis

Anyone can edit wiki. That sucks, right? No, it's fantastic, because most of the time we can find factual info on Wikipedia. We are more then ever informed and wikis are quite helpful. Fanon ones can build worthwhile communities and well made rules keep everything in order. Wikis have taught me some new vocabulary  and has overall made me smarter. Here's for wiki!

So, the internet has hope after all. Small hope, but hope regardless. I'm Joe and that was my first Top 10, see you guys later.

Fanbase Read: New Schedule and types of Posts

Blog and Wario is(stupidly) expanding with some new "shows". Here they are and the shows.

Top 10s: Self explanatory. Whenever and may replace my regular posts sometimes.

Site Slump: I will talk about and review a site. Every Monday.

Blog and Wario will still have regular posts simply titled, Blog and Wario.

Bye, guys.

Totally Not Rickrolling

LAST TIME: TV TROPES? DUN-DUN-DUN!

I guess I did some accidental foreshadowing last week . I got no responses and last weeks was about Facebook two, so I decided to tackle Rickrolling. So today on Blog & Wario, we are going to tackle Rickrolling. Yeah.

Take this personality quiz

In case you've been living under a rock for a century, Rickrolling is when you mislead someone to believe they are linked to something EXTRAORDINARY! And then you get a video of Rick Astley. There is no justice in this world. Anyways, with that short recap know I am going to give my two cents. Rickrolling is not that bad. It's trolling yes, but trolling has been in the world before computers. Honestly, trolling can get annoying but it acts as a force against those mean nerds or those snobs. I got, I mean get, trolled and it really humbles a person. Maybe you're refusing to watch the Clone Wars cartoon because George Lucas didn't give birth to it but someone tricks you with a misleading link and you find out you like it.

Except for this kind of trolling of course.

Sometimes it's just funny. Rickrolling has no controversy and no reasons why I should disapprove of it, because it can be so funny. Unlike Facebook game, pay-to-play stuff, and LOLZ talk, it doesn't make us as a whole nation more stupid. So if you get Rickrolled, just smile and troll them back. That is how to enjoy the internet.

I'm Joe, and you just read Blog & Wario. See you next week(or week and a day, sorry.)

Facebook Games are UGH!

Farmville. Instantly and insanely popular, this Facebook game is notable for simulating farms, allowing hours of fun, and draining your credit cards. Quite using tropes Joe.

It really is.

I'm okay with Facebook. I am not okay with their UGH games. In ol' Britain, a young boy spent SO much money on his mother's credit card. On Farmville. A game where you have cows. Yes. It happened. So today our topic is the issue of those DANG Facebook games. Zynga is a company in San Diego that is known for the Ville games. Cityville, Farmville, something about cowboys? Anyways, they all include a feature I HATE so much, freemium. Of course you are going to spend money on one of these games unless you like the worst stuff. It's human nature to want this stuff and waste our money on it. I have a solution.

Shh! 

I have a solution to freemium and here it is. Get rid of stat boosters. Make it cosmetic. Then so many people won't overspend on a silly game. But you can't stand here and say you are making anyone's lives better but your own with the stat booster plan. Facebook people and other users of the internet,  quit playing so much. Treat yourself like you would you child and limit your time on their and the money you are willing to spend. If Zynga and others change their buisness model, we should change our life model so we can all coexist without having Zynga ruling the world with their billions from Farmville and others.

You know how it goes, i'm Joe and this was Blog and Wario, thanks for reading.

Also, sorry about taking so long. I'll be back to weekly posts now, so check back on the 17th. I'll be there. Probably.

TSROTT(The Stupid Rise of Text Talk)

    With the magic of cell phones, the young and old alike can talk to each other in a private place through a system called text messaging. The small keys make it hard to tell someone your life story, so Text talk was created. LOL is laugh out loud, JK is just kidding, and brb is be right back. I hate text talk. I also use it and I want to stop. It's annoying, rude, and overused and just how did it invade the internet and phones alike?

Another problem with the internet and phones

     Laziness is the main reason, but I excuse you because those tiny little letters on the phone are hard to press. LOL feels like it's...not even funny but just a courtesy thing. Just like likes that I talked about last post. I mean HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA isn't much better but because you're doing something different it's automatically more satisfying to the person receiving your luls. Texts aren't the final boss of this game though, the true enemy is Internet users.

We cannot grasp the true form of the trolls attack

        Internet users tend to use text talk two. Now that cannot be justified. I can write looooong boring paragraphs easily in little time with my keyboard because it's BIG. Laziness is the only reason why you would write LOL instead of "I laughed out loud".  It's rude, annoying, lazy and doesn't satisfy anyone. So before you put LOLJKROTFLOLTTISS on your next youtube comment, think again. The person and I would rather have you just put cool.

Well i'm Joe Nunyabeeswax and that's my two cents about text talk. Thanks for reading.

The Like Obsessed World

    My morning routine consists of waking up and checking my computer. Whatever website it is, I check for likes, or views, or comments. Heck, I did it just this morning with this blog. In honor of my many mental problems, today on Blog and Wario, we are discussing LIKES.

Facebook. It's a place where you can troll or stalk your ex, sign petitions no one looks at, or look at games(that your ten year old kid is using your credit card for). However, a large trait in this instantly popular social network is the two thumbs. Like, or dislike. So many choices, so little time. Now liking is sort of a simple courtesy thing mind you but still, a lot of likes make your face turn from creepy to happy. But....why?


Self-Esteem are two words that are key to my argument. Naturally, it's well, always been like that. Before the days where you could troll your friends with about seven letters and a space, you had to in real life. If people told you they liked your shoes or shirt, that made you happy. If you got a good grade, you were happy.

But I digress, the problem with likes, views, and subscribes on the internet is how we BEG. Like and subscribe is the new routine, and it should stop. A zillion likes doesn't excite people anymore because they didn't earn it. Drop the endslates and quit begging, and when your reach that big 100, 1000, 1,000,000 it'll feel about 10 times better.

This is Joe, and you just read Blog and Wario. See you guys soon.
                                           

                                           because everyone needs more rainbows in their life.

The many annoyances of Blogs

            The collective goal of all mankind and beyond is to simplify everything so a scientist ranging from Agent Scully to Albert Einstien can understand, and also so we can two. Kids understand  E=MC squared, but one problem has waged war on all of mankind.

Blogs.

   You see, I have been journeying for a couple years now to find a blog that isn't always, 99 DOLLARS A MUNF FOR EXTRAAAA SPACE AND STUFFFFFFFFF YAAAAAAAAAA. Blogger looks like it is not one of those things but so many things have betrayed me. I think we can all understand that feeling, and it's nice to know how mean and trollish the internet can be but we still come together no matter what. Whether it's a LotR forum with 40-year old man with a shirt that doesn't cover his stomach conversing with the freckle infested 12-year old about whatever, or one of those abandoned wikis with one user editing, slowly drifting off into madness.

Is Blogger one blog I can trust? Have you had those experiences before? Does this blog lack too many wacky cat pictures/memes? Let me know.

Oh yeah, and my name is Joe and this is Blog & Wario, see you soon.
