‘Relevant’ Introduction Bit
Today’s music scene is dominated by sensations, one-hit-wonders who burst onto the scene then sink without a trace. I liken them to the Titanic, the greatest ocean liner ever built. Claimed unsinkable, it burst onto the really-big-ship scene, hit an iceberg, then sank without a trace, except for lifeboats… and the remains of the ship… and a blaze of publicity, so new artist’s aren’t exactly like the Titantic. Though maybe the blaze of publicity argument holds some water. And the hull of the Titantic held some water as well… too much water – so it sank beneath the waves without a trace, except for lifeboats… and the remains of the ship… and a blaze of publicity. That was a helluva digression. Where was I? Comics! Yeh… why not? (more…)
We here at OMGJ feel it is our duty to inform all types of people of useless advice that will never help you and will most likely send us straight to hell for the sheer amount of misinformation that we regularly give. This is okay though, as we think that information of any kind, including information that isn’t necessarily true, is still information. Information is a long word and I don’t think I’m going to type it anymore. 
I’ve been unemployed for well… a long, long time. I’ve been job-hunting for what seems like forever. It was one of the main reasons for moving back to North Carolina, as I was living in that jobless hell-hole, Michigan, when my job-hunt began. I tried hard, I mean really hard. It wasn’t like I just put in one application for Arby’s and then just sat around leaching off of my friends until they kicked me out for being trashy and someone who is just going to kill themselves one day while some shitty “Farewell World” mix CD is playing in the background. Truth be told, I never put in an application at Arby’s because I am in my 20′s and I understand that kind of work is for the 15-18 crowd. 
Day to day life can put a lot of wear and tear on you. I know first-hand, as someone who has spent years working hard and having little time to relax. I get stressed out, I get tired, I get sore… but what can I do about it? A massage would help, but where can I get one of those? There is one massage parlor nearby, but I think a dude works there and I don’t want some guy rubbing me down, our arm hair getting intertwined. Sadly, we don’t have any of THOSE sorts of massage parlors, the one where the young and attractive female employees go above and beyond to “pleasure” their customers. So what do I do? Yeah, I could just ask my ladyfriend and she would do it… but we will act like I haven’t thought of that, for the sake of the article. 
It’s no secret that I genuinely loved my 3DO. While the majority of people present-day totally bash it into the ground, let it be known that 98% of the people saying this never even owned the system, and are simply restating tired Internet memes while acting like they know what they’re talking about. I’m not going to sit here and defend the system though. It honestly doesn’t need defending at this point. Though I can at least say it had a damn fine library of games for such a niche (and expensive) system that a lot of people overlook simply because no one owned a 3DO. Not only did it have the best version of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and many other great games, but also saw the rise of huge developers like Crystal Dynamics, Naughty Dog, and several other studios that produced some great original game franchises.
