Virtual Insanity

March 20, 2006

Mom: Hey! How many times do I have to tell you that online games are bad for you?!?! I told you to study! And that’s what you do instead of spending money for worthless game credits!!

Ricer Boy: Come on, Mom! I’m on the last level here, several more experience points and I will get the most powerful weapon of all! I will have the most powerful character ever! Besides, there are no tests tomorrow..

Mom: Don’t you realize that the game is starting to plugging itself to your head? And it certainly starting to get on my neck! Look at that Jazz Dad bought for you! It’s nowhere near sanity, it has video game characters all over it! Do you have any idea how stupid that looks? Do you have any idea what the neighbors call us? Idiotic geek freaks!! Do you even notice that while you are wasting 13 hours a day in front of your monitor?!?!

Ricer Boy: Ummm… No?

Mom: That’s it!! We’re not going to give you pocket money anymore! You do nothing but wasting almost a million each month for stupid multiplayer games! Why can’t you just grow up?!

Ricer Boy: But, Mom… My car looks cool! Everybody in my club thinks it’s hot and fast! And I’m pretty popular in the virtual world! I even got the chance to get to know this girl, she’s on my clan now.

Mom: Don’t start again with that stupid car club of yours! I had enough with those jackasses you bring with you here every weekend! They do nothing but waking the neighbors when they get home with that loud tin can junk!

Ricer Boy: But, Mom…

Mom: Enough!!!! (going berserk and pulling the PC power cord off the wall)

Ricer Boy: Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe this guy is a huge fan of Marlboro TV ads, a regular watcher of Black Beauty, a new-born fan of Brokeback Mountain, or he’s just humble enough to put his ride at the same level with Metro Minis and Angkots…

This guy has managed to take the term “Horsepower” to a whole new dimension…

Neo Mazinger

March 19, 2006

Back when we were kids, Mazinger, Shin Getter, Combattler, Voltes, God Sigma and the rest of the gang always get a special place in our hearts. Why? Because they’re awesome. My personal favorite would be Voltes, of course. But when childhood dreams and imagination got itself out of control, this is what you’ll get…

This is the latest version of the next generation Mazinger’s Jet Pilder, called the Aerio Pilder. It snaps right on top of Neo Mazinger’s head as a cockpit. Just like Mazinger, the Aerio Pilder is constructed out of Chogokin Z alloy. You see, it’s pretty much indestructible. And that massive massive wing on the back serves its duty as a super-gyroscopic-stabilizer for Neo Mazinger. While the Neo Mazinger came with a hefty load of weapons, the Aerio Pilder also has its own defense system, such as the Photon Beam and the Freezing Beam, which can be fired from the Aerio Pilder’s headlights.

Now why would a high-tech super robot need a single-blade wiper? Well to swipe off those astronomical dust particles, you silly… Hood pins are also required to keep that bonnet from snapping out and clapping on the cockpit’s windshield. As with the current trend, stealth black is also a common choice for newer super robot colors. Now, you do notice that the car has almost no ground clearance, don’t you? Well… That’s because Jet Pilders don’t run on grounds. They fly! PILDER ON!!!!

Facts:
Suzuki Aerio, B 1748 GJ, somewhere in Jakarta.

Patrol…y

March 18, 2006

You’ve seen those cars with oversized Harley Davidson stickers, right? FYI, the Harley Davidson club is not the only motorcycle club in the hood.

Behold the Highway Patroly Car Sport club! Its vision: To become the ideal role model for automobile or motorcycle clubs in Indonesia. Its mission: To gather as many car enthusiasts as possible and to nail their asses with the oversized “Highway Patroly” sticker.

Not only that, this Kijang also features the infamous chrome tailight guard (which is very much doubtful to be competent enough to be called as a “guard”), a bad ass bumper guard, and of course that kaleng-rombeng muffler. Total horsepower added: 70HP altogether.

Now, the question is… What is PATROLY?!?! And they could’ve at least be creative enough not to rip someone else’s logo off…

Facts:
Toyota Kijang, B 2916 PI, somewhere in Serpong, Tangerang.
