Videogames, Movies and Silliness.

I plan to put together summaries and my thoughts of the Media conferences in here during the weekend.

So stay tuned.

Atop the 4th wall – Warrior #1

While I’m hardly what you would call a comic book fan/reader(Currently the only comic books I have are, a few hundred Donald duck comics at my parents and Penny Arcade #1,#2, and CAD #1,#2,#3) or a wrestling fan, I did enjoy this video greatly if only because it’s so freaking insane and funny.

The Ultimate Warrior or Warrior as he legally changed his name to is the most crazy person who has ever lived, and I’m dead fucking serious about that. The guy just rambles on about “being of self and in that being the selflessness of Destrucity and by being that self make of the world and of the Discipline of the WARRIOR Hoak Hogan!” and other such nonsensical gibberish.

It kind of reminded me of squirrelking’s infamous videogame fanfiction about John Freemen and his struggle to save the Half-life world from whatever it is squirrelking is trying to get across in his fanfiction stories..They are so horribly written it just gets hilarious.

Here’s an example “John Freeman backfliped out of the sky and landed besides Henry Freeman. Henry Freeman looked at John Freeman in the eyes and cry falled out and said “Dad mom has dead”. John Freeman went sad at the ground then moved head real fast up.

“COMBINES YOU KILLD WIFE?” John Freeman said with growls.”

Oh…god.

Lets just compare the two. This is a video enactment of one of his stories, it’s hilarious.

So anyway..enjoy!

Here it is, the Microsoft Media Conference.

Words cannot do this trailer justice, all I can say it’s Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious…

Oh and I don’t mean it’s great because it was a success..I mean because it’s hilarious.

If there is anything more scary then a Terminator it’s a Transforminator.

This is a really nicely done video about the different type of gamers that exist.

Can you guess which of the stereotype I fit in with?

All right I guess it’s best I update the site with something.

I’d like to give my take on the new Star Trek movie.
To be perfectly honest I thought it was pretty good.

When I was watching it, I noticed a lot of stuff that set it quite a bit aside from the Star Trek I’ve known in the past and I’m not talking about the incredible CGI and the intense action.
But the reason for the things that are different are caused by a *SPOILER* so I’m not gonna talk about it in any detail.
They really tried to capture the essence of the original series while still making things new and fresh for todays market and with the *SPOILER* that happened things will be a lot different in the Star Trek universe if they ever end up doing TV series based on this.
A sequel to this movie is already in the works, not surprising and I can’t wait to see if they can do good on this second one.

Of course as you’d expect this movie like pretty much any other Star Trek movie as in it is all about the action, if you want Star Trek with diplomacy,techno babble and subspace vortexes and Q this is not the place to look for it. It was fast paced, intense, heartbreaking and really made Star Trek justice in almost any way.

So yeah, it has my full recommendation

A tribute video I edited together today.

That song I’m using is just crazy. I found it ages ago on a mod music file website. It’s hilariously stupid

- X

Yeah…yeah..I know I know.

Nothing for nearly a month..

I should punish myself for this.

Perhaps I should give myself a good spanking, or perhaps electrical torture..or perhaps both we shall see.

I went to the cinema earlier and saw Knowing.

To sum it up, it was a mixed bag and had some cliches in it.

The movie centered around a Teacher called John(Nicolas Cage) and his son Caleb(Chandler Canterbury) who are both suffering from the loss of wife/mother after she got killed in a fire. At Caleb’s School a ceremony involving opening up a 50 year old time capsule Caleb is given a letter with seemingly random set of numbers.

Later that night John reads into the letter and discovers that the numbers have a meaning to them. They were predictions for every major disaster in the last 50 years with perfect accuracy the date, how many died and where it would happen. He also discovers some that hadn’t occurred yet.

So we see John trying to prevent the disasters from happening.

Okay I can’t really got any further with this because it will spoil the movie.
All I can say that it had it’s flaws, some things that didn’t really make sense, and it didn’t take me long to see how it was going to play out because frankly I’ve seen it all before in another movie..not going to say what movie that was though.

I’ll give it a 6/10.

So, I say it isn’t necessarily worth seeing in the cinema, but at least worth a rental.

Here is a over 20 minute long battle report. As in two members of the developer team are describing play-by-play a match happening between two players.

Awesomeness, now…couldn’t they like release it already?

Made this earlier today just for the fun of it.

It pretty much sums up the movie…
