Pun Intended here, again!

OMG ANOTHER ADOBE UPDATE

IF I SEE ONE MORE ADOBE OR JAVA UPDATE, I'M GOING TO START TYPING WITH CAPSLOCK ON ALL THE TIME!!!!ELEVENTYONE!!!111!!

Ok, maybe not.

So, have you been driven mad with updates?

Does it take far too much time/energy out of your life?

I have the solution for you! *victory theme music*

Today I discovered #3, Pandora Edition

Apparently, pandora doesn't do too well at album covers. I wasn't aware that kedollarsign-HA was an actress on the icarly tv show, so cool!

Adblock ate my website!

So, lots of bloggers out there have been hurt by adblock. What do we do about it? Typically we find ourselves financially starved, frustrated, and eventually we give up.  OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING, HOW CAN I PAY MY HOSTING BILL WAAAH?

Well guess what, I'm not going to give up just quite that easily. *Rocky montage*

Heart of the Swarm

Recently, I acquired starcraft II heart of the swarm as a birthday present (I'm old now, yay!)

If you intend on doing the same, I recommend checking out the the Tech Derp Game Shop, with coupon code DERP4U, to have it 2$ cheaper than Amazon. Blizzard charges more than amazon does.

I can't really give a multiplayer review as I haven't played it.

Steam key give-a-way #1

At techderp.net, there is going to be a raffle. Whichever of the following has the most followers in 2 weeks, will have 2 lucky users.


Techderp.net google+ page, techderp.net email subscribers,@techderp on twitter, techderp.tumblr.com, or facebook.com/techderp

One winning my favorite 2d game of all time(this will remain a mystery for the moment), and one winning Red Orchestra 1 and 2, both activated on steam, randomly chosen.

Random chosen will be based off of dice generators. No favoritism.

Academia further mystified #4

My class where I had an insane amount of homework, and a near impossible takehome exam, which I know for a fact I did less than 50% of the homework and had under 80% on the exam, both got perfect scores, just like everyone else in the class. Its 1/3rd my grade.

Anti botnet wordpress security practices

So, you got hit by the wordpress attack yesterday. I did, you did. We all did.

Freaked out yet? It was a huge botnet trying to crack your password

Anyone who doesn't know, a botnet is a large number (usually over 100,000) of computers all infected by some form of an attack, that can be remote controlled. The botnet yesterday was around 100,000.

Things you can do to protect yourself against it.

Academia Further Mystified #3

You may have noticed I haven't blogged as much as my usual OMG SO MANY POSTS amount this week.

I've been overwhelmed with school, along with my job. It's not that school is hard (well it is, but that's not the issue). It's that my teachers really are bad with scheduling.

New shop!

So, you may have been wondering why there is a shop button on my site now. It links to http://shop.techderp.net

Had, Have, and Will Review: Bioshock Infinite

Current Special: Check out shop.techderp.net for the lowest price on Bioshock Infinite



In recent history, games have moved away from their roots of character interaction and story, focusing more on better graphics, lots of explosions, a dearth of rather mindless first person shooters, and gameplay that is copy and pasted from a dozen other games like it.

Bioshock Infinite is not one of those games.

Pokemon Pikachu Special Edition 3DS XL

So you want to be a pokemon master? Do you see in 4d? Can you, I don't know, insert something funny here.

Why Twitter et al. will continue to fall to Google+

I know this post is not being posted to Twitter, but I couldn't fit it in Twitter's character limits.
STRIIIIKE ONE!

Now that thats out of the way, here is my official reasoning on why Google+  is the master race of all social networks and all that related blasphemy.

Warning labels on a humidifier

Sometimes the warning labels on things necessary horrify me. Do not pour any water into outlet. Lol what? Do we live in a society where someone thinks this is a good idea? This concept flat out terrifies me. Please make it stop waaaah. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Incase you're wondering, I got a new vicks 1 gallon pretty snazzy germ killing humidifier

It makes an interesting whirling noise.
