Dogsworth McFreedom

Since today is Independence Day in the United States, I am going to share a link about a video game in which Dogsworth McFreedom (George Washington's dog) helps in the fight for freedom--at least I think that is what he is doing. I'm not really much of a video game player. I don't think the video game manufacturers make those games with us dogs in mind which is silly since we could be a major market for them. It is nice to see a game involving freedom and independence--and some of us dogs were beginning to think that holidays were just about sales at the stores. They do tend to have sales because of holidays. I suspect that they make up holidays in which to have a sale about. I'm still not believing that there is a bird appreciation holiday. That is just insane since birds are evil! Here is the link:

For Sale: Birdual Items

There is an item on the Internet news about a man in China who has spent $16,000. on a virtual sword for a game that has not been released yet. This gave me an idea. I decided that I should start selling virtual dingo bones from my blog so that I can make money to buy real dingo bones. Of course, that idea was given up as quickly as I thought of it. Since dingo bones would be of interest to dogs, then there would be no way I could sell virtual dingo bones because dogs are too smart to buy them. We dogs want real bones--not virtual bones. Don't get me wrong.....I have a page on www.dogster.com, and I get lots of cool gifts from my friends that make my page look good-including bones, and I like getting them. However, I am not paying money for them. No dog would spend real money on virtual bones. That is the kind of stupidity that only the humans possess. Perhaps I should design a Demon Flash Bandit game. It could involve killing birds or doing something similarly useful to society. I'm sure the humans who get involved in it would love to buy virtual game items--guns to shoot at the birds, grills to cook the birds, etc. They could be called Birdual Items. I just thought up a whole new word--I am such a talented dog! I bet it would be a big hit as a video game. How could it not be a hit if I'm in it?

Why No Video Games for Dogs?

I read today that David Swhimmer is contesting the R rating of his movie, Cyber Predators. I thought that movie was already out and titled Tron Legacy. My humans went to see the movie, Tron Legacy. In the movie, a couple of humans were trapped in a video game world. The other "people" there seemed to always be attacking them--at least that is what the humans said about the movie. I don't think you can get any better cyber predators than the ones on Tron so why bother?

This brings me to today's subject. Why have there been no video games designed for dogs. I know we don't have thumbs, but that Wii game system allows the humans to do all sorts of things to play the game. I can envision a mushing game where a dog runs so that the dogs on the screen run too. I think that leaving dogs out of the video game market is leaving a vast amount of untapped money that the game manufacturers are missing. Imagine how many dogs would be lined up to buy some of these games. As usual, the humans never seem to want to include us dogs. In some cases, like video games it is their financial loss.

Angry Birds are Really Stupid Birds

Birds have to be one of the most annoying varmints on Planet Earth. Now there is a popular iphone game called Angry Birds. I don't personally play video games much since my paws are a bit clumsy. However, just from the title, Angry Birds, I can tell that this popular video game is stupid. I watched the "trailer" for the game. It seems that the birds were so busy beating up a bug that landed on their eggs, that some pigs managed to steal their eggs while they busy with the bug. I know that the term "bird brains" is used in popular culture for a reason--birds are stupid little animals. Just the fact that many of them migrate south in the winter shows how stupid they are. Why not just stay where it is warm and there is food? Flying hundreds of miles is work--and they do it every year because no bird was smart enough at the start of spring to say to the other birds, "it is nice here, why are we leaving?" This is why it does not surprise me that the pigs could get the eggs--the birds are too stupid to watch over their eggs.

This brings me to another point I saw on the Internet news today. It seems that home schooling is becoming more acceptable. I can only hope that the homes where these children are being home schooled has turned the task over the the family dog. I do have to admit that it has to be frustrating for the dogs. It takes the human puppies so long to learn to do anything. Just look how long it takes them to learn to walk and talk--a dog puppy can do that very quickly. However, we dogs love our humans and we can summon up the patience to deal with the humans puppies if necessary. When is a dog supposed to get in his naps if you have children around bothering the dog? Most of us take our nap time very seriously. This is why I think children should go to school. Parents and dogs need a rest!

Mommy brought home a book last night--I Has a Hot Dog. She has been looking for the book and finally one of the stores she went to had it. She was ready to order it on Amazon. If you want to read a classically good book, this is the book for you. It has cool photos of dogs, and it has captions saying what the dog is thinking. This book should be a best seller if you ask me---it is a great piece of literature. If William Dogspeare had published a book of this quality, I might even say he is a good writer, but I don't think he ever thought of getting out his camera and taking photos.

I'm sorry about the lack of a blog yesterday--it was my humans fault. She took one of my brothers to the theatre, and then she was sick when she got home last night. I would fire her, but I could tell she was really sick, and Angel Zoom Smokey felt it was her job to comfort Mommy. I think she is just trying to worm her way into more treats. She isn't fooling me any. I will not stoop to that level just to get some Yummy Chummies. I have to go now and kiss Mommy. Some Yummy Chummies would taste good in my tummy.
