The Simpsons Are Getting Sad

I grew up watching the Simpsons. I always thought they were hilarious even though they were pushing the envelope (Yes, the Simpsons used to get a lot of shit about being too racy, and yes I know, they're not that bad.) I thought they were hilarious, even though most of the stuff was so dumb, I was dumber for seeing it. It was good old American humor. Immature but hilarious.

In my area, FOX plays the Simpsons every weekday for an hour. I caught a few older episodes and I remembered why I loved the show. I would literally laugh out loud at some of the dumb shit that was going on. Now that the nostalgia was back, I set a series recording for my DVR so I could watch more. That's when I realized the new episodes were so God awful. 

I've heard people bash the Simpsons saying they should have been off the air years ago, and I finally can say I know why they say that. It's terrible. Bart isn't funny anymore, Marge is a fucking dumbass, Lisa is even worse than before, which I didn't think was possible. Even Homer has lost his touch. The storylines are way too intricate to be a true Simpsons episodes. The writers are thinking way too much and are trying to plan out jokes instead of just letting the stupid shit happen like it always has. 

At this point, I think the only thing that can save the show is a spinoff with Chief Wiggum, Ralphie, Moe, and Homer. They are they only ones who are still funny. What a shame.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

I've reluctantly been playing Black Ops quite a bit lately. I hate this mother fucking game, don't get me wrong. It's the kind of game that most people fucking despise but it has a really good community so you can play with people you know. That's about the only good thing about it. Now that I'm thinking about it, is that really even a good thing? Playing a game everyone hates just because your friends are playing it? I can picture Treyarch's slogan: "Get lit up in this laggy piece of shit......WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!"

I swear to god everytime I play this game, the guns have different damage points. When I first started, the AUG said it had shitty damage, but I gave it a whirl because every other gun sucks Big Foot's dick. It was surprisingly good, so I stuck with it. Lately, the AUG takes about 9 or 10 bullets to kill someone. What the fuck is that shit? Suddenly everyone has become fucking Tupac and won't go down until Suge Knight wants them to. My k/d ratio has been dropping faster than black birds in Arkansas and I think we have a God damned conspiracy on our hands.

(Nobody should be this fucking good. Seriously, somebody kill this gifted asshole.)

Maybe it's the fact that every time I lose a match in a blowout I report every single player on the other team because I hate them. I know they're not cheating but I want to create work for Treyarch because they are the assholes who convinced me this game would be bigger than Ron Jeremy's tinky. It's not. It has shrinkage.

I convinced the only thing that can save me at this point is Killzone 3. Why do I get the feeling I will be writing a similar post about another franchise I once loved. God I hate love.
