New home, same Loneplacebo
Don't despair infrequent visitor. The time for a natural change in scenery is common in the rapidly-changing world of technology. Please remember to change the url to this site from "weebly" to "wordpress" in your favorites, if you haven't already. If you're done with that, then place your mouse's pointer over the link to the new site and close your eyes. Now, take a deep breath and begin counting to nine. Now go! 
 
 
I know who you are. You are one of two people. Person number one has an unjailbroken iPod Touch and really despises the included Stock and Weather apps. He wishes to jailbreak his sacred device, but cherishes it too much to place the warranty at risk. So, how does he deal with apps that he never uses and cannot hide or remove? Well, he just leaves them on the last page of his iPod, thinking that he could forget about them forever. Think again. Person number two, on the other hand, has jailbroken his iPod Touch and is really happy he did so because now with SBSettings installed, he can hide the unwanted Voice Recorder app. 

Are you person number two? If you are then I can begin to address you directly. You have done a wonderful and brave act in jailbreaking your iPod Touch. After hiding those nasty preinstalled apps, you must have replaced them with better alternatives. Right? If not, then let me show you those applications you need.

Empire Total War? What the hell? Didn't this game come out like a year ago or something? Let me check...March 3, 2009! Whoa! This game must be twenty bucks by now, right? Let me check...No way! Fifty bucks still! Wake me up again in another 199 days. At LonePlacebo, you see, a game review is never to late. Tetris, anyone? 

This game review is no ordinary game review. Sure, it's fantastically written like always, but you'll notice something different. Is it the font? No. Is it how friggin long it is in comparison with 90% of this website? Kind of. I know you are dying from anticipation. The inability to figure out this enigma must be eating away at your appendix. That's right! It's written by LonePlacebo's first ever employee! He goes by the tentative pen name of "Sahin the Falcon." (Don't ask me) He specializes in everything and will hopefully continue to produce some more Pulitzer-worthy articles for this website in the future. Proceed to the article and make your judgment. 
 
 
back to school
Oh no! It can't possibly be here already!
It's the middle of August and summer is coming to an end (sob). Soon, students across the United States and other parts of the world will be sucked back into the thing they dread most: school. But do not despair. With your iPod Touch in hand, you can download these following applications that will make your transition into the school year much more bearable. 
 
Comebacks 08/13/2009
 
Ever been embarrassed after someone's remark leaves you unable to quickly respond with a witty reply? Look no further than right here! Inspired by a recently televised rerun of Seinfeld, I have come up with a list of original (I hope) comebacks that we leave your enemies dumbstruck. 
 
 
Some inspiration for those of you who do not look forward to going back to school. Just tell yourself after watching this video, that you don't want to end up like this poor girl. 
 
 
It's not everyday that when you walk to your mailbox, expecting to find your Sports Iluustrated or Time Magazine, to pull out a Maxim magazine. Maybe, you tell yourself, God is looking after me. Or, maybe your clumsy mailman made a mistake. Either way, it must be your lucky day, right?
 
 
Having hit a magnificent drive off the first tee, you walk back to your bag and wait for your playing partner to hit next. He grabs his tee and Titleist golf ball, examining both closely, before heading to the tee box. As he gets into his stance, he begins to shift his weight left and right, adjusts his grip, once, twice, maybe three times, and checks his club selection again. Shaking his head in disapproval, he goes back to his bag and pulls out his 3-wood instead, but only after taking a while to ponder his decision. Holding the club in his left hand, he gazes across the sky dubiously and bends down to snatch a handful of dried grass. Flinging it in the air, the grass is blown into his face as the wind gusts suddenly. Cursing loudly and spitting disgustedly, he rubs his eyes and then grabs his club to attempt another tee-off. 
 
 
perfect seasons
Only two teams have reached perfection. Can the 49ers join this small group?
Two days from the first preseason game against the Denver Broncos, the San Francisco 49ers are looking to make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2002. Hopes always run high during training camp, but can dreams really come true? Let's pull out the crystal ball and find out.
