    Some of you may remember way back during January of this fine year I was experiencing some major issues with my PC. Well that computer promptly died not long afterwards and sometime around February 1st I ordered a new computer and was forced to use my old laptop which has no sound in the meantime. All was going well and the machine arrived by the 17th of February but sadly that's when things took a bit of a nosedive. Within the first few hours of being turned on the machine kept reporting blue screen errors and various program crashes. So after a few phone calls to the technical support line of the PC supplier it was agreed the computer would be shipped back from Scotland to Newcaste on Tuesday 21st of February, a journey of 299 miles according to Google Maps. Now here we are over a week later and the PC supplier tells me they have yet to receive the product and the courier service used to deliver it says they have 'misplaced' the package. Forgive me but how do you misplace a 22kg package in a box big enough to hide a dead body in?
     
    I've tried finding a logical answer to this situation but given recent events regarding the shakedown at Infinity Ward, the Apocalyps3 and recent information that there will be

    more Call of Duty games produced in the next few years than I have nipples leads me to believe there is only one explanation for my computer going missing. That the CEO of Activision, and some say the Devil incarnate, Bobby Kotick himself flew on his demon wings from the USA to chilly Scotland and then proceeded to steal my computer as it was in transit before flying back home. Upon getting home there are unconfirmed reports he may or may not have eaten MattBodega's pony.
     
    So how did I come to this conclusion you ask? Well in June 2009 Kotick mentioned Activision may have to revoke support for Sony's PS3 by 2010/2011 if they didn't give the console a price cut soon. Now I'm pretty sure the PS3 saw a price cut between June09 and the present day but the recent Apocalyps3 was clearly caused by Activision as a public reminder to us all that they hold the gaming industry by the balls and can cause the Y2K bug to appear and ruin our ability to tell the time & date accurately!

    I mean look at the recent sacking of Jason West and Vince Zampella, we all know the "breach of contract and insubordination" claims in the SEC filing by Activision are completely bogus and false. We all know the real reason those two guys got sacked is because they refused to re-enact the homoerotic Gulag reunion scene Kotick had written for Soap and Price which IW stripped from the final release of MW2. It all makes perfect sense really as MW2 sold like hotcakes and brought all the boys to Activision's yard, so why not try and relive that success through future titles within the Call of Duty franchise? I know I would!
     
    I guess what I'm saying here folks is that clearly my computer is not 'lost in transit' but being held hostage at the Activision HQ inside the CEO's office because everything that goes wrong in the world is indeed caused by Bobby Kotick and Activision. I have proven this above with my conspiracy theory and I now ask you, Giant Bomb Community, for volunteers to help make up a crack squad of commandos who's mission will be to rescue my computer so that I may watch porn with sound again.

    You bought a completely new computer? Why didn't you just diagnose the problem with the old one and replace the faulty part?

    @Gizmo: A good question that has a simple answer, the old (now dead) computer just wasn't worth spending the time and money on. It was over 6 years old and needed quite a bit of work done to repair it. And frankly I've been in need of a new computer for awhile now so having the old one die on me was both annoying but welcome.

    Activision claims yet another victim :(

    The more I read your posts, the more it seems like you're just an Activision apologist. Sure, it's a company, sure it has the right to do whatever the hell it wants but when all is said and done; if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's probably a duck.

    Nice try at satire and conspiracy, but eh, didn't have the same zing as my Satan Claus thing. Yes, I'm such an egotist that I posted in your blog for my own self satisfaction :P.

    Whenever someone is fired for "insubordination", it sounds like the kind of thing to get a Military Tribunal debating whether or not to send in a firing squad. When did Activision suddenly take the "evil corporation" badge from EA? Although it seems Ubisoft is vying for that title as well.

    You do realize that Activision HQ is guarded by the Satanic Christmas critters from South Park right? They will rape you and pee in your eye socket, just like Kurt Russel.
