HAPPY BIRTHDAY REALITY SYNDICATE!!!

It's now official, the Reality Syndicate is two years old! That may not seem like much, but look at how far we've come in that time. Here we are with 124 articles and plenty of other random distractions. The staff here would just like to thank the visitors for making this site what it is today. Here's to another great year!

Syndicate Radio Land

Today the Reality Syndicate implements an amazing new toy to play with! We've actually been saving it for this day, our birthday. Say hello to Syndicate Radio! Open up Syndicate Radio and just let it play for a while. Hear some great music from Cringing Migraine, get caught up on news and traffic, and then have hundreds of commercials drone on at you. This is something that will be constantly updated with new stuff, so listen to Syndicate Radio often!

Rules of the Road

In today's Syndicate Press, Jason Cross looks at all of the road signs he stumbled upon in a restricted government facility late last night. They could be rejected from use on highways and streets, they could be intended for use in the future, or they could be an elaborate joke at the taxpayers' expense. Either way, read Rejected Road Signs and get the inside story!

Political Grunts

Well, the Reality Syndicate has had a few writers in its time, some more or less permanent than others.

Drivel Days Proceeds Onward

The Syndicate is alive with celebration, and as everybody here parties like crazy, we provide more and more wonderful material for you, our wonderful fans. Wonderful. Be on the lookout for a slew of new articles as Drivel Days continues... Carpe diem!

A Cinematic Triumph

One man.  One board.  One hope.

Take a look here and be wowed by special effects and even-more-special atmosphere. The specialness is overwhelming!

Find Your Sympathy Elsewhere!

You can just hear his complaints...Memories of warmer months and hope for a long summer this year remind us of the surprisingly surly little watermelon who won the hearts of our readers by complaining incessantly about his desired position as the official Spring Mascot. He eventually won a Mascot status, proving true the old adage: The squeaky wheel gets placed on the front page.

Drivel Days Doesn't Quit

Today Drivel Days sees the addition of a new branch of the Syndicate Press, Letters to the editor. This section will feature letters written to the Reality Syndicate staff that just tend to rant about things. We won't dignify these letters with a response, but we'll certainly illustrate them and post them for the world to see!

Go Talk to Some Fish!

That's what you might hear some other superheroes yell at AquaMan from time to time. Let's face it, the guy's a joke. Well, in the Syndicate Press's latest letter to the editor, none other than Bruce Wayne himself writes about his dislike for this quasi-hero. Apparently the Dark Knight, as well as many other superheroes, find AquaMan terribly annoying. Read the Letter from Bruce Wayne to find out why.

Lactose Intolerant Marsupials

Way back in the Guest Columns today comes the first article ever by Animal Expert and psychologist, Yurivich Gruskenvald. Seriously, the guy barely existed prior to his arrival here. In his debut article the good doctor took a look at the first Syndicate Mascot, Dave the Wombat, and why Dave hated cheese with such passion. Read this article if you've ever wanted to know Why Wombats Don't Like Cheese.

Drivel Days Rambles On

Today Drivel Days continues with yet another brand new article and a classic from the stone age of the Syndicate. Last year's Drivel Days followed a similar format, with something of a surprise on the 25th. This year too will be a sizable unveiling on the 25th, if it's finished in time. Don't miss it!

Dear Abby Can Shove Off

Coming at you after three months of absence in today's Guest Columns is none other than the beloved Blorflax!

Halloween Havoc

Flashy!Looking back in the Syndicate Press today we bring you a classic from before the Syndicate's creation.

Drivel Days Keeps On Truckin'

Today we'll answer a question no doubt some of you are asking... Why is it called "Drivel Days?" Well, when the Syndicate was created it already had some content, and those articles were from the cult sensation "The Daily Drivel," Jason Cross's first major site. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Fire and Brimstone

Who's that handsome devil there? Why it's the author of today's latest Syndicate Press article, Alex Owens! Funny he should be called a devil, as Alex made his Syndicate writing debut only a few weeks ago with his hit article Wearing the Horns. As that article drew to a close, Alex found himself being shackled and carted off to Hell. Now read his amazing account of what the inferno is actually like in Leveling Through the Underworld!

For the Last Time, it's NOT Floorwax!

Remember this Guest Columnist? Sure you do! Today we check back with an old friend, none other than Blorflax. He's three feet tall, was once the overlord of an entire nebula, and currently serves as the advice columnist for the Reality Syndicate. He'll have a brand new column later this week as Drivel Days progresses, but for now, take a look at his humble beginnings in Blorflax's First article.

Drivel Days, Day 2

So what exactly is Drivel Days? Well, the Reality Syndicate was born on February 25th, 2000. Last year around this time we knew we should do something for the anniversary, so we decided on a week of brand new stuff every day along with old classic articles being brought back to the front page once more. As Drivel Days continues, keep checking back for more updates!

I Need a Hero!

In today's latest Syndicate Press article, Chris Clark looks at a new squad devoted to freedom and truth: The Super Justice People! Made up of three brave crime fighters all dressed in silly costumes, the Super Justice People is not a group to be taken lightly. Chris managed to get an interview with all three in their base of operations as well. Read all about it in Heroes on Parade.

Rock Around the Clock

Looking way back in the Guest Columns today we bring you a classic from the infancy of the Syndicate. Mr. Fred, world renowned zombie chef and Syndicate Columnist, had to start somewhere. That somewhere was here. In his first correspondence with the Reality Syndicate, Mr. Fred was simply another zombie with a large undead gorging corporation with an idea to boost nocturnal efficiency. Read it all in his firs article, Midnight is Too Late!

DRIVEL DAYS BEGINS!!!

Yes, Drivel Days is here. Note the festive lights, the lighter attitude and the new updates! During the next week you'll see something that's brand spankin' new every day, along with an old classic brought back into the spotlight.

Spotlight on Film

With the increasing amount of updates to the Film and Radio section of the Syndicate, we decided that the multimedia portion should finally be a permanent fixture in the spotlight. So now, along with the two newest Guest Columns and Syndicate Press articles, the newest Syndicate Film is easy to find.

Gridiron Gridlock

In today's latest Syndicate Headline, take look out to the coast as Charles Anderson reports on a massive 75 car pileup. Normally such a minor accident like this would be more or less unworthy of being a major article, only our story has a shocking twist. Tragically, football hero Nick Budman sustained minor injuries in this pileup, making it an official traumatic event. Don't miss this Syndicate Headline!

H2O No!

Looking back in the Syndicate Press today we bring you a classic from December of 2000. Jason Cross reports in this eye-opening article on the true dangers of water! People, these are the things that bottled water industry big wigs don't want the public to know. Read Down With Water, and never look at the substance that composes 70% of your body again!

Pool of Wisdom

Get a question answered, waste a few precious seconds, everybody wins!Yes, we all know and love Alphabilliards, the modification of pool with twenty six lettered balls. We also all know the joy that a novelty "Magic H Ball" can bring. So, in order to spread joy (and only for that reason), today we have a new film in the Film and Radio Section. If you have questions that need answering, just Ask the Magic H Ball!

Fresh Faces in the Internet Biz

He may be an ex-con, but he knows HTML!If you're tired of enormous, cold, sterile web design firms draining your wallet or little inexperienced thirteen year olds beg for a few bucks to do some HTML, perhaps you should look in on the Syndicate Press today! Perhaps you may think seven random people, half of which are certifiably insane and the other half of which are convicted felons, aren't suitable web designer's to fit your needs, but you haven't met Sub Par Web Design!

Be Prepared...

Behind the scenes, beyond the watchful gaze of the Syndicate reader, a project is brewing - known only as Syndicate Radio, this strange and interesting phenomenon has been in the works for several weeks and will no doubt soon be released upon an unsuspecting public, to serve as a spectre of evil and destruction, or perhaps just a form of entertainment. Huzzah!

 

February 10, 2002

Anomalous Materials and Aggressive Fights!

Lambda is letter in 'Greek.'Today in the Film and Radio section of the Syndicate we look deep into the Black Mesa Research Facility.
