About The Author

Who am I?
Why, I'll tell you!

I'm like the Onion or Andy Borowitz
Without the money or the glitz
I write a humor blog that's simply named GameView

I jump from Facebook to Google to Twitter
People say that I'm a kidder
But the truth is that I have nothing better to do

I host a MovieRiff Hangout every Saturday and Sunday
I hope to make it big in something soon someday

If you take me seriously
Then you really don't know me
But if you bring up politics or religion

I'll tell you exactly what I think
In a roundabout way with a wink
Because I'm simply too much of a gentleman

So the conclusion to me you will see
Is that you'll never know the key to me
'Cause I like my privacy
That never changes

I'll Friend you and Follow you and Circle you
And share and plus your point of view
And hopefully soon we'll be friends
Instead of total strangers

Nothing Original Planned For 2012 Game Lineup


A representative of the gaming industry announced today in a press statement that "nothing original is planned for next year."  He said that gamers should expect "lots of games with Roman numerals in their titles".  "Final Fantasy XVIII, Modern Warfare V, blah blah blah.  And of course, another freakin' Halo game..."

"It's actually a shrewd strategy," one game industry analyst explains.  "They're just simply following in the footsteps of Hollywood, which seems to have been very successful with churning out the same old crap every year..."

In related news, the GOP promises nothing original in their attacks on the Democratic Party.  "Expect more 'Obama did this' and 'don't raise taxes on our job creators' in future debates and comments," a representative commented.

Stalkers Worldwide Heap Praise on New Facebook Design


Today stalkers worldwide praised Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his new design of the popular social network.  "He has become a hero in our community," says Anonymous.  "Thanks to new features such as Timeline and Ticker, I can follow as many people as I want, when I want, and I don't even have to use my camera."

Apps such as Spotify and Skype will transfer their information directly to the new Ticker, enabling people to see everything another person is doing.  "Pure stalker bliss" seems to be the reaction from many people with undisclosed identities.

Unknown comments that "this new Facebook design will open doors for new stalkers that they wish they could open, and without those pesky home security codes.  The original Facebook was a landmark for us, but this new design shows the promise of a new era for invading the privacy of our obsessions.  Thank you, Mr. Zuckerberg!"

In related news, after learning that Mr. Zuckerberg is a member of Google Plus, stalkers of the Facebook CEO  are announcing a new Google Group.

After Numerous Errors, Sources Reveal Congress Still In "Beta"


WASHINGTON - Earlier today it was revealed that the decision making body known as "Congress" has not officially gone live.  "A common misconception," one source reveals, "is that the version available is a complete, bug-free application.  This, however, is not the case.  Many errors in decision-making, and even the lack of decision making can be attributed to Congress's incomplete state.  The recent debt ceiling crisis is just one example of numerous bugs still in the system."

People accessing the "beta" version of Congress are therefore warned that they may experience hostile activity by the "Boehner trojan" and the "Mitch-Anthrax worm", since safeguards have not yet been implemented to detect the malevolent programs.  "Another one to look out for is the Cantor 412, a particularly vicious virus which has no regard for programs that benefit users," adds the source.

In related news, Microsoft Constitution Defender will feature updates to combat the malware applications Perry, Bachmann, and Romney...

to the tune of "Red House"

Well there's a Redbox over yonder
That's where I get my DVDs
Lord there's a Redbox over yonder
Oh that's where I get my DVDs
'Cause I can't find my favorite movie
Curse you Mr. Reed

Wait a minute, something wrong here
This kiosk doesn't have "Thor"
Wait a minute, something wrong here
Lord have mercy this kiosk doesn't have "Thor"
I gotta bad, bad feeling
I won't be using this kiosk anymore
That's ok, I'll download a pirate copy ...look out!

Well I might as well look back over yonder
Way back up over the hill
Lord I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder across the hill
'Cause if Redbox doesn't have my favorite movie
I know Blockbuster will

I Swear

Warning: NSFW

Where would we be without profanity?
What would we say when we bashed our knee?

When you hurt yourself, "shucks" just won't do it.
Go ahead and let out a healthy "oh shit!"

When telling off someone just won't do,
It's always best just to say "fuck you!"

It's difficult to believe a politician's pitch,
There's a word for him, that's right you guessed it, "son of a bitch"! 

So make the support of bad words your goal 
And relax, it's just a poem, don't be an "asshole".

Game Industry Appeals to Growing Women Demographic With "Mom" FPS Games


A number of top game companies are developing FPS titles for the growing demographic of women in their late   30's.  "We realize that most of our marketing and even games are geared toward teens or younger, and we need to tap into this new group, because inevitably they have more money to spend..."

The demons, soldiers and other standard FPS enemies will not, however, be featured in the new "Mom" games.  Instead, women protagonists will battle unfaithful husbands, collection agencies, and drivers who cut in front of them.  Standard weapons in FPS games will still be implemented.

"There is nothing more satisfying than frying my husband with an Uzi when I discover him in bed with that bitch he met at the strip club," one female gamer comments.  "And it's fun doing it in the game, too."

Expect new titles such as "Call of Alimony", "Discover This! Part I: The Collectors", and "PMS Driver: Hell On Wheels"...

Dear George


The force is not a bunch of things called midichlorians
Thank you for pissing on my youth

Boba Fett was just a really cool action figure
Thank you for pissing on my youth

Anakin never built C-3PO, Padme didn't die of a broken heart, Greedo didn't shoot first, and Leia and Luke knew their mother
Bounty hunters don't hire assassins, Jedis aren't wusses, Yoda doesn't do somersaults in the air, go on George really, tell us another

Please don't ruin my childhood heroes anymore, you've gone too far
And while you're at it Mr. Lucas, what was with f**king Jar Jar???

It's time to read the graffiti on the wall, your fans aren't pleased.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it", that's a good thing to heed.

If you piss on our youth anymore, just show us the door.
'Cause these are not the movies we're looking for...

Sony Insists Playstation 3 Is Next Generation, "Just Not This Generation"


Despite numerous criticisms and complaints by gamers and critics alike, Sony Computer Entertainment America still insists that the Playstation 3 is "the next generation console".  But they wished to clarify that it wasn't necessarily "this generation".

"Our console plays high definition games on Blu-ray discs, but they still require numerous updates as well as in-game updates, usually on the day that the games are released.  This is merely an indicator that the system is not actually supposed to be available for the current generation.  Think of it as the original PC game 'Crysis'.  That game would not play well on PCs at that time.  But now with today's hardware, you can play it, but really don't care to because its technology is outdated."

SCEA promises that the next generation of the Playstation console will have fewer loading times and firmware updates, and generally run a lot faster, but there are no actual plans to produce the console anytime in the near future.

In related news, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is the front runner for best console in gaming history, but no one will believe it.

iAbacus Next Big Thing, Says New Apple CEO


After the resignation of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, it was announced that a new direction would be taken with the multi-billion dollar company.  

Owen Kidsthesedays, the new CEO, has a whole new game plan.  "I don't give a durn what's the big thing now, 'cause I think our next product will be the end all be all of technology.  Our new Apple iAbacus, set to release later this year, goes back to the basics, when you had to use your imagination, instead of all these fancy pictures and some such..."

Kent Getitupanymore is the head developer of the new product.  "We're startin' a new movement, out with the new, in with the old.  Or as we like to put it, 'classic'..."

The roll-out of the iAbacus has taken many critics and tech enthusiasts aback.  "It's Apple, so what they say pretty much goes," one tech blogger commented.  "But I can't imagine how developers are going to come up with any apps for this."

"Apps, schmapps!", retorted the new Apple CEO.  "Back in my days, you had to walk uphill in the blinding snow without anything like a FPS or any fancy game like Fourscore!"
