Welcome to Starfly's News Service, SNS, your source for the news that I think is interesting!
The UN Sucks
- The United Nations wants to expand ittsss spehere of influence to include religion. This would mean a branch of the UN in charge of churches of all sorts. Does anyone else see this as a bad thing? I don't really want the UN in charge of anything, but definetly NOT any religions.

X-men 3
- Gwen Stefani of No Doubt is interstedd in being in X-men 3. Possibly as Dazzler. This would be a "Duh" role, as Dazzler is an musician with sparkler type powers. Maybe now WolfMike will realize she is not an alien!

B> Jurassic Park IV
- Did anyone see JP3? Did anyone thinkk "This should have been only a two part series" like me? I don't think the next film will change that. Apparently the plot will be that when they cloned the dinosaurs, they aslo cloned some sort of virus that killed them all. And the virus is transferable to humans! Ooooo, scary.... So they send humans to figure it out! Whoo! Maybe they're just trying to get Sam Neil killed for not abandoning this franchise. Maybe he has a coke habit he needs to keep fueled? I hope so, otherwise he's just got no taste....

Pirates are better than Robots
- Pirates of the Caribbean beat out Terrmmminator 3 for highest grossing movie of the weekend. I saw Pirates, it was damn good. Haven't seen T3, but I have an "eh" factor over it. I recommend Pirates.

In a Galaxy Far Far Away....from my computer
- I bought Star Wars: Galaxies yesterdaayyy and found out one thing...unless you're running a computer that is a dedicated gaming machine this game is not for you. It requires at least 256 MB of RAM, with a recommended 512. It requires the current fastest level of CPU at the minimum. It requires the latest 3D accelerator card. They have the balls to even put on the box that you may need to buy a NEW COMPUTER to run this game in the future. I would say someone has made a very good game that all but the uberest geek could play. No one is going to spend over $80 to play a game! (I wouldn't have unless I was stubborn enough to not give up until I realized I am far too poor...this was after buy an extra $90 worth of RAM for my computer).... and after you buy it, there is no single player mode but you must spend at least $15 every month to play it on-line. I should focus an article about the stupidity of humans and on-line roleplaying games. Can't they be like Blizzard and come up with a free server once you've bought the game?

- Tobey MacGuire is upset with Playboy bbbecause they published comments about his frequenting of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Every so often Tobey's mask of nice guy slips a little...the "Ow, My Back" thing, this AA revelation... Eh, maybe I just get too scared when he makes his sad face.

No more play Bangkok Online
- Thailand is putting a restriction on ooon-line game play starting July 15th. They're closing down all On-line game servers between the hours of 10 pm until 6 am. NAZIS! NAZIS I SAY! This will not curb the play of children, this will make them sit at night awaiting the sunrise like a psychotic vampire...awaiting when the precious lifeblood that is on-line gaming returns. Delicious nectar of the gods, iiiiiinternet gaming.....

Well, my update schedule isn't going as well as I planned. So basically I will update whenever I feel like it now. HA HA HA! You can do nothing about it! Well, nothing except not read..or force me to update. If you chose to force me, I respond better to bribes than threats.
