Electronic Monopoly?

I don't know if anyone has seen this shit, but i've been seeing commercials for it for a couple of weeks now, and quite frankly i think it's absurd. For anyone who hasn't noticed, there is now a version of monopoly where there is no paper involved. Instead of money each person recieves an electronic calculator and whenever a purchase is made you just subtract the amount from the calculator, or add if you get you money. And instead of community chest and chance there is a random response generator with each of the possible chances or community chests programmed in. Now, some people may think this sounds sweet, and i'm sure there's some guy sitting in his house who's been using a calculator for monopoly for years being like "what the fuck, i thought od that" (similar to how joe finch claims his dad invented snowboarding i'd imagine). But the point of the issue that i'm trying to get at is that shit like this is turning americans these days into fat, lazy, vaginas. I remember how whenever i played monopoly i would open the box to a complete mess of money, pieces, dice, and cards, deeds and the half an hour or more it took to assemble all of the shit and deal out the money etc. made playing the game feel either more rewarding. What do these people do now? just open the box and start fucking playing, it's bullshit. I'm coining the next big monopoly revolution right here, no one will have to roll dice or move their pieces at all now, or better yet, people won't even have to play the game, you'll just have a randomizer that plays the game for you and tells you the winner. Think of how much time and hassle this will save. Ya, I'm a fucking genius.

ugh.

idunno how many people actually read this or care to see that i post this (i'd feel a little arrogant doing one of those "sorry everyone etc." things, acting like there are people who come on here every day like "omg did matt make a post" because i doubt anyone is like that) but anyways, i've been hella busy lately and haven't really been posting for shit, i've got finals coming up and shit and i've actually had mad work for school of late for the first time, but once finals is over and during break i'm sure i'll be posting a ton, so whatever. later.

Well, the New York Times finally decided to recognize the greatest movie of all time with this little article that was shown to my by corey lasko.
