Oooh, he's so hard core..!

Yes, oh yes, OH YES! This weekend marks the 2011 Gumeracha Medieval Fair, and I am taking part! Yay! No longer confined to entertaining the great unwashed from behind a mic and faux-hawk, this year I will be on the field with Handakas!

magnificent.

I should have some new footage for you soon, but in the mean time here's a clip of me on the mic while the boys play killing games at the last one I attended.

BOOYAH!

Your humble servant,

Oops, my Steve is showing....

Is this the face of fascism?

Ah, yet again I have erred.

I seem cursed to continually build up an audience only to decimate it with one little rant.

On this occasion it was my French rant from last week. It HALVED the visitors to the site.

Ouch.

Apparently I am the ONLY person IN THE WORLD who came out in support of France banning the Burqas, and the audience didn't like it.

I understand a lot of my viewpoints are hard to take, and also that they are somewhat tainted by my hatred of ALL religious institutions, but I must admit I'm a little disappointed that so many would flee the show over one rant.

In future, I'll stick to fluffy cat stories, how's that? Would that make you more comfortable?

"Today our benevolent, wise and intelligent world leaders made another brilliant decision which will benefit us all universally"....

Better?

I don't think so.

Luckily, I don't actually care for fame or wealth. If I was one of those 'ambitious' types I'd probably go to any length to make sure it never happened again.

If anyone thinks I am going to change my show to better suit a wider audience, well...

...they don't know me too good, do they.

Your humble servant,

French Fascist

It finally happened. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given some of my ranting material, but I still feel dirty.

I have caught Nazis.

Eeew.

I received a comment last week from a French Fascist lauding my rant against Islam in his nation, giving me links to sites and friends who wanted to speak to me and all sorts of other nasties.

Of course, I ranted back at him. How could I not?

I have no time for small minded bigoted racists. My objections to religion are PURELY because they are evil institutions. The followers of these wicked institutions are victims, not enemies, and certainly not lesser beings.

The Neo-Nazi was not happy with my rant, and asked if I was a Jew.

Typical.

Hobo with a shotgun : A GSS review by Steve Parker

Rutger can act, that's the real tragedy here.

I should have known.

With a title like that, and starring Rutger Haur, it couldn't be anything but B grade crap.

And it was! Start to finish.

The plot, if you can call it that, is simplistic in the extreme, and really only exists to give an excuse for all the splatter gore. That said, if you like splatter gore and imaginative deaths, you may enjoy this a little.

Some of the ideas were moderately interesting as well, if extremely poorly executed.

In conclusion I'd have to say: I saw this film for free, it still wasn't worth the price.

On a side note, the makers of the film got down on the Torrent sharing community for 'stealing' their film. I would humbly suggest that if this is the pinnacle of ones film making talents, one should be happy for any audience at all.

Ah, mininova

I love that my show is downloadable on a legal torrent site.

I love that on a bad day around 700 people download some GSS.

I love that Mininova tells me which countries people are downloading from.

And yet, I REALLY wish I could get some of these folks to visit the website instead.

I don't ask for donations or have a bunch of banner ads, because the thought sickens me.

But I do eventually hope to get enough traffic that someone might decide to sponsor the show.

Of course, they would have to be the right kind of people but still, even an offer from the GVS would be flattering, if impossible to accept.

Ah well.

The important thing is that there are enough mad people in the world who think that listening to me is entertaining, to keep me going indefinitely.

I love this show.

From yawn to yawning yawn. But then, suddenly...

I want to talk about American sports for a bit, one in particular.

Now as you know for the most part I have little time for American sports, or indeed any sport which doesn’t involve swords.

Baseball? Well you have weapons at least, I like that, but baseball’s greatest achievment was taking a mind numbingly dull game like Cricket and made it EVEN MORE BORING! I mean, that takes skill, dedication and a real commitment to being long, slow and dull.

Football, again! You’ve got armour, which is cool, but then you took a fast, hard game and stopped it every few seconds to talk for a few minutes. Plus you touch a football with your hands, that’s just wierd.

But basketball, ah basketball I think you might be onto a winner here. I have recently been playing NBA2k11, (And incidentally, if I may wax street for a moment: I am money, wid da rock), and it led me to hunt down some youtube b-ball and I have seen some amazing stuff, in particular; Michael Jordan.

Wow.

I mean... wow.

I am a fighter, and I’ve always thought the old tales of warrior demi gods were kinda cute and quaint and mainly the result of ignorant, impresionable peasants. And then I saw Michael Jordan play and all of the sudden I could totally understand people watching someone like him and thinking, “that man is surely the son of a god”.

Incredible.

So there you go, a good American sport.

Now if you can just make some music which doesn’t make me puke, I will seriously consider visiting your fine nation.

...once the gun permits have cleared.
