ChaCha.com Does Not Like British People.....

Do British people have any weird habits?

Yes. The British have weird restaurant habits. At tables they are a little rude and fairly mean, and have disgusting tastes.

In other words ChaCha is officially my favorite search engine in the world. Don't believe me? Here's a picture:

Also Marcus Beer from Invisible Wall fame over at GameTrailers caught wind of my Tweet of this...and he was not happy:

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! As far of recent events worth mentioning the most important to talk about is the fact that the engineers are testing PSN trophies for premium members. Non subscribers don't worry, once all the bugs have been ironed out. Also worth noting is the fact that some trophies are not being listed in the system this is due to something on Sony's side, as the trophies people are reporting missing are also missing from Sony's site. Also for UK user please read this by Jeff about a survey related to ads. Just for funsies Patrick Klepek has his very own Screened Person Page. Also Sean Coonce wants you to help Jeff buy a new car. Also the Persona 4 anime has started airing so check out this simulcast schedule on Anime Vice if you haven't already. Finally as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter and Giant Bomb YouTube Channel.

I Am Dead to Brad Shoemaker....

So this Saturday was the eleventh Giant Bomb StarCraft II Community tournament. As to be expected I watched the live stream and for some odd reason something snapped and I decided to have a little fun in the chatroom for the stream:

  • zombiepie: StarCraft?

    » What's a Starcraft?

  • jorbear: Ask Brad or Norm. Because we dont know

  • zombiepie: Is there crafting in StarCraft?

  • jorbear: Yes

    » but not crafting of stars

    » you actually craft war

  • zombiepie: I think that's fraudulent. Why call your game StarCRAFT if there's no REAL crafting?

    » Blizzard are the worst people EVAR!!!!

  • jorbear: Because bitches love crafting

  • zombiepie: BLARG I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!

  • ducrapho: Get mad

  • Mod thule725: Minecraft also has crafting

  • zombiepie: StarCraft is as fraudulent as Enron. You heard it here first.

So as to be expected with me I can never let a not so funny joke just end...I have to ram in the ground to the point where people start to think I'm just talking to myself. So after doing what I'm supposed to do with the GiantBombSquad Giant Bomb Community Twitter account and tweeting some good community created stuff I decided to Tweet "Why call your game StarCRAFT if there's no REAL crafting in it?" The response by members of the Giant Bomb Community ranged from explaining how there is actual crafting in StarCraft to calling me out or an incredibly lame pun (which I will accept). Yet how does our very own Brad Shoemaker factor in on this? Well he caught wind of my Tweet and was to have none of my tomfoolery:

Well I guess that's it guys...I guess I have to tender my resignation now.
