What’s another word for “useless”…?

June 25th, 2008 by The Grey Ghost

What’s up with online thesaurus sites lately? Ones like thesaurus.com used to be great; for each word I’d enter, I’d be given over a dozen synonyms, as well as slang terms, antonyms, and figures of speech. Now I’m lucky to receive five results from a search.

What’s worse is that when I click on a synonym that is closer to the idea that I’m trying to find a word for, half the time there’s no listing at all for it! I’ll either be redirected to the word I’d originally entered or I’ll get a “Did you mean…?” page. That’s just useless.

I know that I shouldn’t depend on sites like that as a crutch, but they still provided a healthy exercise for my own vocabulary. It just disheartens me when I can think of several synonyms to a word myself that the database at thesaurus.com failed to consider.

Oh, and for the curious, typing in “synonym” into the search will not cause an explosive feedback loop, as I would expect.

MK vs DC: The Ranting Begins

April 26th, 2008 by The Grey Ghost

Ever since the announcement that Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe was being made into a reality, I’ve had to remain calm in order to properly collect myself before unleashing my fury of nitpicking criticism. As expected, no one in the gaming community can help rolling their eyes at the concept; one that’s not only 10 years past its window of opportunity for success, but also completely absurd in principle.

No doubt as more press releases surface, I’ll contribute more to my own personal musings, picking it apart in the fashion that my fanboy blood dictates I do. But I do need to start somewhere. For the time being, I’ll prime this observational trek counting down to and a bit beyond its release with words that have already been said, yet bear repeating. Read the rest of this entry »

World’s Most Annoying Toy

December 21st, 2007 by The Grey Ghost



This is quite possibly the #1 reason why I’m happy I don’t work at Spencer Gifts any more. All day, every fucking day, people would come in and squeeze those damn things. And of course every teenager would think they’re the pioneers of new comedy when they’d grab the whole bundle of 5-10 chickens and squeeze them all at the same time. Usually followed by them running right out the door, as if you could even call that a prank.

The question is not why do places keep selling these things…it’s why do people keep buying them??

First Post!

September 22nd, 2007 by The Grey Ghost

Wow… I’m one step closer to having a real website! So far, a lot of what I’m working on is tweaking the style. I’ve installed a base style (Dark Pad) to start with, and I’ll be more or less self-teaching myself to adjust the code so that it looks more like how I’d like my blog to be. I really like the basic configuration that my LJ has, so it may look very similar to that, at least for now.

What may happen for this site in general is that the blog will become the main feature, with supplements on the side, so I may end up moving this to the main site. I just gotta figure out how to do that without messing anything up that I’ve already worked on.
