As another work week is upon us, this edition of gif Therapy would like to kindly remind you to calm down, take a few deep breaths, and consider all your options:

Let’s Make Movies Based On Things Like This
Dear Hollywood,
I think I know where you should start getting your ideas for movies: deviantArt. Case in point:
No established backstory, no fans to piss off. Just a few lucky artists who get a nice payoff for the rights to use their pieces as a conceptual jumping-off point. Everyone wins. Especially me,
because I get to watch a movie with witch doctors RIDING GODDAMNED DINOSAURS.
Sincerely,
Jesse Bailey
P.S. I fully intend to continue to make suggestions of this nature until someone notices.
Songs To Play Video Games To : Free-For-All
As we all know, Free-For-All multiplayer is the only true test of one’s skills when it comes to video gaming. With no teammates to blame your lousy score on, you’d better buck up and find a way to win. If I may make a suggestion?
You need a soundtrack. Know why? Cuz you’re a badass, and badasses have their own soundtracks. You can’t just know that you rule and have that be enough, trust me. You need constant musical reminders of just how truly dominant you are. I find that trash-talking on a headset, while fun, gets old pretty quickly, and can actually be quite a distraction when it comes time to actually play. With a soundtrack playing, there is no need to talk shit. It’s like having a group of people behind you at a fight, yelling loudly at your opponent about how he is about to get rocked. Except it doesn’t smell like beer and there’s no risk of the cops being called. Now that we’re on the same page, I present to you the first song on your Free-For-All Soundtrack:
While I use this Soundtrack method primarily for MW3, I’m certain that it could be used in any competitive game. Happy Hunting, Professor Badass!
Foreigners Always Make Great Rock Bands
Case in point: Volbeat, a Danish rock band who sounds a bit like Clutch, in a very good way.
Every time I hear the lead singer for this band speak, it immediately reminds me of that clip from Family Guy;
Now watch this awesome video and tell me that he doesn’t sound exactly like those foreign guys. Not that I am complaining, mind you. I honestly really like this band. Their music just begs to be played as loud as possible at a party somewhere.
AM I RIGHT!? (That’s a rhetorical question)
gif Therapy
Nothing helps me relax like a nice, soothing, subtly animated, slowly repeating gif. I find that giving yourself over to a good five minutes of contemplation is most helpful when one needs to center oneself or gather one’s thoughts. If there were ever a day of the week that gathering one’s thoughts might be useful, it is certainly Monday. As such, each Monday, I shall offer a new session in what I call gif Therapy. It is of course a self-guided therapy, and I shall merely offer you the images to contemplate. Without further adieu:

The Return of the Daily Bailey
I haven’t been here since January 8th, 2008. I was…somewhere else. But I have finally returned!
Google “Daily Bailey” and this site, which hasn’t been posted on in 4 years, 2 months, and 11 days, will come up 4th. Not 1st, but 4th out of 92,400,000 (according to Google) ain’t bad. In an attempt to be worthy of this, I have decided to revive this blog. I have realized that what I need more than anything right now is a place to put all of the things that run around in my head. What are those things, you ask? Well my friend, I suggest you get to clickin’.
To get this thing kicked off properly, I have prepared a couple of pages for your enjoyment already, and I have also planned a few daily features with more to come in the near future! For example, instead of bragging about how good I am at Modern Warfare 3 (pretty damn good), I offer you my in-game statistics as well as my PSN ID in case you feel the need to log on and teach me a lesson (bring it on). Beyond that, for those of you who happen to enjoy a good bit of sci-fi and/or anime in your life, as well as a subscription to Netflix, I have made a couple of suggestions for your Instant Queue! Try those buttons over there on the right side of the page, and let me know what you think!
I have returned, my faithful readers, and never again shall I leave you.
