It’s time for our 2007 Spring Share-A-Thon, but this is unlike any other fundraiser you’ve ever been part of.  We are not asking for money!  Believe it… or not.  At this time, Buffet o’ Blog is a not-for-profit blog, where we don’t have any ads nor do we sell you useless crap nor do we beg and plead for money.  We provide humor for our readers at no charge whatsoever.  So why would we even bother to have a Share-A-Thon?  Let me explain…

Our purpose is to make people laugh more, because laughing is good for your health, and it makes the world a better place.  But if people don’t visit our site, our efforts are less productive.  So we are asking you to tell at least one person about the blog this week.  Surely almost all our regular readers can think of one person among their family and friends who would appreciate the brand of humor here.  So all we ask you to do is tell them about it.  That way our readership increases, and as more people participate in the comments, it becomes even more fun.  And you get to help make the world a better place.

That wasn’t so bad was it?  At least we didn’t ask you to give your “best gift” or to “plant a $1000 seed”.  🙂  No one is required to give us money.  (We’re just generous that way, sharing out of the abundance of humor in our hearts.)  Of course, if anyone would like to voluntarily donate money or cookies or nachos, we do accept donations.  🙂  But we don’t expect any.

Did you know this blog is the greatest thing compared to sliced bread?  There’s no way you can have as much fun with sliced bread (although covering it with gravy is good, but you can’t eat 24/7, and this blog is always up).  And it was once voted the #1 humor website!  (Granted, that was a small group voting, but we’ll take what we can get.)  And we’ve had some great testimonials, like, “Your blog is really funny!”  We could go on, but we’ll quit tooting our own horn now.  You can see for yourself by perusing the blog.

So tell all your friends.  And laugh even more than you have been…

Many people have wondered about the weird commercials for the Sony PS3.  There’s been a possessed-looking baby doll, a Rubik’s cube that is solved and then explodes, eggs that hatch crows, and one where the console melts.  Who designs these things?

Anyway, I figured out why the PS3 commercials are so weird and don’t show gameplay — they don’t have any great games out yet!  😮

Recently I played Spiderman 2 on the Gamecube and the PS2, and it’s a neat game.  There’s a lot of special moves you can learn, and plus just playing as Spiderman is cool.  You can swing from building to building, you can climb buildings, there’s side-missions, you can fight random criminal/thugs around the city.  And there’s some girl who loses her balloon every so often, who whines like crazy, and you can go pop the balloon, er, I mean, save it, to make her happy.  (She whines way too much!)  The game follows the story of the movie, except you get to play the role of Spiderman.  Overall, it’s a fun game, although sometimes repetitive.

But I noticed something really weird about the game : pedestrians have ninja-like skills!  You can’t hit them!  They can dodge your punches with lightning-fast reflexes.  It’s inconceivable!  This is Spiderman we’re talking about, who is a world-renown superhero, and who is crazy-fast.

Now, I know, Spiderman wouldn’t want to hit innocent civilians, so perhaps it’s a moot point.  But it made me think about something : it would be really bad if the pedestrians ever started committing crimes!  I mean, even the great Spiderman wouldn’t be able to stop them.  He can’t hit them, and somehow they aren’t affected by his webs.  I sure hope they don’t ever realize this and turn to a life of crime!  Then Spiderman would be powerless and the city would fall apart.

Obviously this is a major bug in the game.  I hope they fix this in Spiderman 3…
