I'm now a developer for MLPOnline, a fan made pony mmo. It's pretty awesome. It has a website and everything: www.mlponline.net (click on demos to see some of the things we've got going on). The website is a little dead- there is more action going on at the DA page.
My grand total sum of work has been to eat up bandwidth like a worm from Dune getting all the source code and web development tools. However, if you want to follow it through development, go right ahead. If you want to advertise it, go ahead even more.
If you want to help, well, that's up to the people actually running the show to decide, but the only time it ever hurts to ask is with your significant other.
Why am I developing an mmo? More than just because I goddamn can and ponies rock. I never turn down reasonable opportunities to write code, ever. Game development and design is something I've always wanted to dabble in. But, I was never able to get my shit together enough to try to do a game on my own. This gives me a chance to learn how games are made, it'll actually look good on a resume (or as something to bring up during an interview) when it's done, and I do actually care about the subject material.
At any rate, I'm excited. And if you're judging me, you can goddamn suck it. Because you're reading my blog.

There are a verity of reasons why people might want to break the law- shits and giggles, revenge, greed, or because their neighbor's "No Trespassing" was goddamn asking for someone to streak naked on his lawn while singing "Peanut Butter Jelly Time".
I dig that. Not you naked. Dear God not that. Put some clothes on, you're embarrassing yourself.

All things considered, there are some times when breaking the law not only makes no sense, but also proves that you need help. Lots and lots of help. Also, it's hilarious.
For example, lightsabers are a physical impossibility. They're just too bad ass to possibly exist in this universe. If anyone actually figured out how to get a beam of light to 7 quadrillion degrees and make it about "yeh" long, a comet would come out of the sky and murder him.
Mother Nature can't handle lightsabers up in her shit.
So, when you want to go on a mass murder spree with a lightsaber, it turns into you running around Toys 'R' Us hitting people with plastic toy sabers instead. True Story. It gets better when you learn that the man in question- dual wielding lightsabers like a boss- actually had a show down with the police and managed to deflect two taser shots.
Damn. That's just impressive. The force may have very well been with him.

Of course, other types of crime can be just as fun. We've all heard jokes about retarded people passing school because they got a nerdy friend (read as: victim) to hack into the computer system and change all the grades in return for not getting a swirly that week.
Turns out that happens in real life, but the nerds make a goddamn killing to the tune of $300 to change an overall B to an A and $50 to change a test score. I almost want to give them more props than the Jedi in training up there. Not for hacking a high school computer system, I used to break the firewalls in my high school's system just to show that they could be broken.
But, having the balls to charge that much of fellow high school students? Wow. In high school, when I got enough money to eat out at McDonalds, I was freaking loaded.
And sometimes, its not the crime itself, but who commits the crime that's amazing. For example, take Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.
Yes, that's an actual name and not something I stole from Bill Cosby. I know this because he has an arrest record. What makes it even better is that his bizarre name is not the combination of a pair of hippie parents and an unfortunately timed hell of an acid trip, he chose that name himself. He changed it from Jeffery, which isn't honestly that bad.
I guess he's stickin' it to the man somehow? Or something?
