4chan?

I have a question for all of you out there, and I'd very much like if you didn't judge me too badly.

Should I be proud or ashamed that I have never been on 4chan?

A lot of my friends and much of the online community says proud.  That 4chan is noobish and a plague on the interwebs. (And seeing the 4channess on the internet in several other places, I'd have to agree. Example below.)




WTF, Internet. WTF.

  But I've got this feeling that I've missed out on something.  Kind of like how using Yahoo over Google and Myspace before Facebook are like rites of passage to being a mature interneter.  Everyone was a noob once, and if they are no longer a noob, they have learned from their noobhood and became not a noob.  I too went through my phase of 'tpn liek n idoit n usin nmbers 4 wrds' and posting a lolcat at any excusable opportunity.



No wait, I still do that.  But it's more because the cats are just so cuuute! >.> *ahem* Anyway...


So I feel like while it isn't a good idea for me to get involved in 4chan now, there's still a part of my internet life missing that I may never understand when other people reference it.  In fact, up until about a year ago, I thought that 4chan was a person not a website, which made a noob of me at the time.

I can own up to when I'm a noob in a situation, but that ability is already one step closer to achieving pwnage.  (Which I pronounce pawnage.  Yes, I'm aware it's supposed to be p'ownage. I'll make another post about this later.)

Anway, what is your opinion, readers?  Am I a priveledged individual to never have to suffer through 4chan noobhood?  Or am I a noob, now, for never having experienced this rite of passage to not a noob?

Until next time,

December Project - FAILED

So you may have noticed that my Pokemon Profile Picture Month post has stopped updating.  This is because finals and life got in the way, and I am now much too far behind to try and catch up.  I may, next December, finish up the month, starting where I left off.

I almost didn't post anything today.  I feel guilty for pushing Jumblemash's post downward, but I can't just never update again, or else I'll lose the one readerI gained out of the post.

Which brings me to the next point of topic!  I have nine readers! Nine!  Nine is my favorite slash lucky number, so I feel very accomplished for reaching that point...  Even though I'd much rather have, say... 81 readers. (That's nine times nine.)

It's been dangerous to travel in my area.  Roads covered in ice, freezing wind and rain...  But surprisingly little snow.  There's still snow, but most precipitation has been freezing rain.  On top of that, despite the fact that most of the people in the city have been through several midwestern winters, the ratio of save drivers in the city and those who freak out in cold weather is one to OMGBBQ.  The reason I bring this up, is because I have family coming for Decemberween and Wintereenmas as I'm sure most people's families are, and I want them to arrive safely.  So everyone, if you have family traveling through snow and winter conditions, please make sure they know how to handle it.

Until next time,

Guest Post: JumbleMash

Ok, guest posting is scary, but because I love my bloggy friends, I agreed to post here at I Can Has Catboy?

The Cap'n gave me a few topics to pick from and I chose gaming, because well, I know more about it than the other topics she gave me.

In case you don't know, I am the author of Jumble Mash and I'm pretty much a geek. I am 25 years old and absolutely love gaming.

The Boyfriend and I have a Wii, PS3, and XBox 360 with the Kinect. My favorite console is the Xbox. My favorite games are Bioshock and Bioshock 2. I am absolutely and completely ecstatic that they are coming out with Bioshock 3, although I have to wait a long time.

I also play Halo 3 and Halo Reach a lot. I love getting online and all the guys are like "Girls can't play Halo" and then I completely kick their butts. I am good at it, but it's because I've put many hours into it.

I'm also am a WoW geek and cannot wait to play Cataclysm!

BUT something that we've recently gotten into that takes no console at all and is actually fairly cheap, even if you decide you want to buy all the expansions, and that is Munchkin.

Munchkin is a funny role-playing card game. You are dealt eight cards at the beginning and hope like Hell you get some armor or some weapons. You can even get dealt Class and Race cards. For instance you can be an Elf Warrior. Each Class and Race has its own special abilities and things that help you through battle.

Each player's turn begins by "Kicking open a door." You basically turn over a card, if there is a monster, you fight it, if not you can either draw another card or choose to fight a monster from your hand. Fighting a monster and winning allows you to level up. First player to reach level 10 wins.

When Boyfriend first introduced me to this game, I thought I would hate it. I'm not much into role playing games, but I am ADDICTED to this game. I LOVE IT! And the more people you have, the funner it is.

I just have to get more of my friends to play.

Anyone?
