Another Garage Band for iPad song! This one turned out better than the last one. Mostly because I actually tried this time.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Made with Garage Band for iPad. (Yeah, kinda crappy, I know, but I was just playing with it so, whatever.)
Another one got caught today, it’s all over the papers. “Teenager
Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal”, “Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering”…
Damn kids. They’re all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950’s technobrain,
ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what
made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
I am a hacker, enter my world…
Mine is a world that begins with school… I’m smarter than most of
the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me…
Damn underachiever. They’re all alike.
I’m in junior high or high school. I’ve listened to teachers explain
for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. “No, Ms.
Smith, I didn’t show my work. I did it in my head…”
Damn kid. Probably copied it. They’re all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is
cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it’s because I
screwed it up. Not because it doesn’t like me…
Or feels threatened by me…
Or thinks I’m a smart ass…
Or doesn’t like teaching and shouldn’t be here…
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They’re all alike.
And then it happened… a door opened to a world… rushing through
the phone line like heroin through an addict’s veins, an electronic pulse is
sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought… a board is
found.
“This is it… this is where I belong…”
I know everyone here… even if I’ve never met them, never talked to
them, may never hear from them again… I know you all…
Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They’re all alike…
You bet your ass we’re all alike… we’ve been spoon-fed baby food at
school when we hungered for steak… the bits of meat that you did let slip
through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We’ve been dominated by sadists, or
ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will-
ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now… the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying
for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn’t run by profiteering gluttons, and
you call us criminals. We explore… and you call us criminals. We seek
after knowledge… and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias… and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it’s for our own good, yet we’re the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can’t stop us all… after all, we’re all alike.

The consequences of being fat… Ahhhh, Bible roulette is fun. :D
Well, I Broke Down.
You know how sometimes you don’t understand the appeal of something, but then when you truly give it a chance it actually amazes you how much fun it is?
Well, looks like I’m buying Minecraft tomorrow.
You see, when I first got the free-weekend copy, it left a bad first impression. Mostly because in the beginning the game is so slow-paced it’s ridiculous. But after playing it for about an hour and actually getting somewhere, it turned out to be really fun. Actually, what I’m also really excited about is that the game is coming out for iOS, and in my opinion, that’s a great idea. Because let’s face it, Minecraft is a time waster. Ever play Animal Crossing? Ever buy the DS version and think “Wow, I am having so much more fun with this!” Well that’s because these types of games are destined for mobile platforms. It’s just so much more fun because you can pop in and out of the game anytime you want instead of waiting until you get back to your computer or gaming console to play what is essentially a time waster.
But enough about that. So what exactly convinced me to finally get this game? Well once I actually made it a few days I decided to go to the wiki and figure out how the hell to defend myself. So I crafted a sword. And about an hour later I had an underground fortress of doom. Granted most of my weapons were crappy, they were all the wooden variants, but you know, I really had fun making them, and I can’t wait to see what the newer versions have in store. Hats off to Notch for being able to make this, it’s really a great thing he’s doing for indie developers. He’s showing that you don’t need a big studio with crap loads of money, or a game with the best graphics ever. As long as the gameplay is there, that’s what counts.
It’s funny how opinions can change so quickly. Before I kept on saying “Bah, I don’t get the appeal of this game.” but after really giving it a chance it proved to be fun and original. Now I don’t think I’ll be playing this 24/7 like a lot of people do, but I think it’s worth the buy. ESPECIALLY for my low-powered laptop. It will be nice to have a game that runs at a smooth frame rate on there for once.
Well, until tomorrow, good night, my friends!
