This has to be one of the worst innovations in recent memory. And this is coming from someone who loves Twitter.
I do not care, as I am sure most people don't, where you are at every waking moment. It is YOUR life. Not mine. I have enough issues keeping my own shit in order to be concerned about what restaurant you went to.
And really, why would you WANT to broadcast your location at every moment? Why not just wear a GPS beacon and let us know how we can connect to it? The idea of people being able to follow you around doesn't creep you out in the slightest?
Some people will tell you that it's a way to get people to try new places. If you need a dumb phone app to get you to go outside your comfort zone, I weep for you.
I consider myself a bit of a soda fan. Any time on the road, if I'm stopping somewhere for a beverage, I'm choosing the most obscure thing I can find out of the cooler. If it's something particularly tasty and I can't find it around me, I'm not above bringing a case (or two) back with me.
One soda in particular has eluded me, however. I hear fantastic things about Cactus Cooler, but as I live on the east coast, I can't get any. I've also never been to Southern California, where I know it mostly lives, so I haven't been able to try it there.
I've even looked into having it shipped, but the shipping costs some of these places have are absolutely absurd. A 12-pack ends up being $25 shipped. Absurd.
Have I missed an easy way to get ahold of the stuff? HELP ME, GIANT BOMB.
Reese's Pieces, undoubtedly, do not get the respect they deserve. The peanut butter in a Reese's cup is absolutely underrated - what better vehicle to enjoy it than in bite-sized candy form? THERE IS NONE.
Now don't get me wrong, I understand the irony of me writing this - after all, I have admitted that I'm only taking this up because of the quest system. But hear me out.
I'm sure that plenty of people who otherwise wouldn't have been bothered to try the blog system are giving it a go now, but there's a troubling number of blog entries that read, more or less, as "I'm only doing this for the Quest."
Really? You've got nothing to say?
The worst part is when these same people take their non-discussion-inspiring blog posts and add them to different forums. As if there's not a 100% chance that the thread will be locked almost immediately.
Look, I realize that not everybody is going to put some thought or effort into their blog posts if they're going for the Quest - heck, I sure haven't on every occasion. But at least I've tried, and (until now) I haven't put any of my blog posts into a forum.
If you're going to use the podium that Giant Bomb has given you, at least try to say something. Why not? You may end up being more interesting than you thought you were.
