05/07/09: Terminator Dreams |
Comic Notes
I'm not kidding, this is a true story. I'm not this creative; but apparently, my subconscious is. Freud would have a field day. He would say that the robots represent my desire not to interact with real humans, that the flamethrowers represent my inner conflict, and that somehow all this translates into why I want to have sex with my mother or something. Freud was a sick bastard.
I was, of course, very disappointed with how Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles ended. I seriously think they ended Season 2 thinking they were going to get the go-ahead for Season 3, considering the gaping holes left behind. (And what the hell was up with John Connor molesting his Terminator?! That was super weird. >.> ) *sigh* Oh well. I'm hoping that Terminator: Salvation will fill in some of these holes, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe if I get some resolution and closure, I'll stop having these bloody dreams.
One thing I've learned from these dreams, though, is that I've found that I really like having robot friends. I think growing up with Voltron, Transformers, Robotech and Terminator, combined with lack of playmates as a child has given me the predisposition to be attracted to this idea. If I had any resource or any remote knowledge of artificial intelligence, I would totally build myself a robot friend--not in the Weird Science sort of way, but more in the South Park AWESOM-O kind of way.
Who'd need real friends?! =P

I have to start off by expressing that I am a fan of the first Transformers film. Even though there are some major faults with the film, but I still find myself enjoying it every time I watch it. With that being expressed, I thought Michael Bay would fix some of the problems that the first film had in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but it turns out that I was expecting too much from Bay. What Bay does is keep the same problems that the first film had and add on top of it. Read what these problems are after the jump.

05/30/09: EGM Returns!
|
When the Electronic Gaming Magazine was shelved a few months back, it was an end of an era as the magazine had been around for nearly twenty years. Many a people had fond memories of the mag, and were pretty upset to hear that the magazine and it's website were bought out by Ugo, then promptly shut down nearly the same day. So after all that, the magazine has been completely dead for awhile... that is until today. Steve Harris, the creator of EGM back in the 80's, has acquired publishing rights and trademarks to EGM, with plans to restart the print publication in the second half of this year. No other information has been given, like in regards if the old staff is coming back, but it is nice to hear an old friend will be coming back.

04/30/09: DLC Review - Fallout 3: The Pitt
|
If you recall the last time I reviewed Operation Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3, I was less than happy about it. It was short, boring, and I felt like I was ripped off after completing the new content. That was alittle over a month ago, and we have now been given a new set of DLC for Fallout 3 called "The Pitt". Is this new set a letdown like the previous DLC, or has Bethesda learned from their mistakes and made it worth our wild? Hit the jump to find out.

04/11/09: Nintendo DSi Hardware Review
|
I won't lie. When I initially saw the original DS (known as DS fat in some circles) at E3 2004, I wasn't super impressed with the little device. Granted, the device on the E3 show floor was not the model they finally ended up releasing, but that's besides the point. With the release of the DS Lite, I was won over with the quality of games and the complete overhaul of the hardware. Our little buddy has over 100 million units sold since it was introduced, and is also the highest selling handheld platform of its generation. Nintendo has decided to go back to the drawing board with the DS, and has thus introduced the Nintendo DSi. The real question to the DSi is... should you part ways with your DS Lite and your $169.99 to get your hands on the newer version?

03/29/09: Speed Run Sunday - Super Mario World
|
On this weeks Speed Run Sunday, we have Super Mario World. Originally released on August 13, 1991 as a pack in with the Super Nintendo, Super Mario World is noted as one of the best games in the Mario series as well as one of the best games ever created. As with other titles in the Mario franchise, there are many hidden areas for you to find in order to get to the end and beat Bowser. Our runner finds these hidden areas in the game, and blazes through Super Mario World in ten minutes, and fifty nine seconds!
If you want to see a specific speed run for Speed Run Sundays, leave a comment in the forums with the game of your choice, and I'll do my best to dig it up. All that aside, hit the jump to enjoy another classic game, and I'll be back next time for another Speed Run Sunday.

03/26/09: Modern Warfare 2 Teaser Trailer
|
Now this is how you do a teaser trailer. Activision and Infinity Ward released a teaser trailer for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at GDC a few hours ago, and I have to say that it has got me wanting the game even more. There isn't much to see in the video, and that's to be expected since they're probably going to blow it out for E3, but it still makes you wonder what the hell Infinity Ward is doing behind closed doors.
One thing is for sure though, when the game is released this November, don't expect to see too many people continue playing World at War on their console/pc of choice. Infinity Ward is bringing Call of Duty back home, right where it belongs.

03/24/09: Playing with Nunchucks
|
Hey dudes! So in my spare time, I've been messing around with nunchaku, just to get better at it, and also as a form of exercise. I play with my shadow most of the time, but this time I try something a little different--I try to spin a Wiimote and Nunchuck! It's a little weird, but it can be done. =D I hope this will spark some nunchaku freestylers to make better Wiimote videos than mine, haha.
