BlizzCon or Bust

I wish I was on my way to BlizzCon right now. Instead, I'm chained to my alcove here in the company's Mobility Center. Just like one of the Borg. Oh, gotta go. The collective has decided it's time to recharge.

This is a joke right? Please say it is!

I was browsing around on Gamespot the other day when something caught my eye as I scrolled around. It was a thumbnail for a news clip saying a new game had been released. Well the picture caught my eye because of the graphics. Not in the good way that most graphics catch your eye these days.

So when I clicked on the link it took me to this game: Feyna's Quest

Wow....thats all I can say. I cant believe someone would actually release this thing in the year 2005. I ran games on my x486 with better graphics then this flaming turd log. I noticed there was a demo to download but I just couldnt bring myself to waste anymore of my time buy looking at this thing. Man no wonder so many gaming companies are going bankrupt...they keep funding stupid ass projects like this!

Amzing Racist Vs. Mexicans

OK I had to post this and I want to clarify that there's not a racist bone in my body. Sometimes racial stereotypes can be a bit a amusing however and if we can't laugh at ourselves....well we can always laugh at underpriveladged ethnic groupls.

No comment...

Joe that last post was hilarious. Man I wish I could get my ugly mug on a webpage. Now that I work in a building full of engineers trust me when I say the good looking ones are few and far between. But every once in a while you get a stud like myself to save the day.

Shadow of the Colossus

If I had a PS2, I would go to the store right now and buy this game. This looks like it's right up my alley. Check out some of the gameplay videos and then tell me you don't want to play it. I dare you! I saw it on display at EB Games and played around with it for a minute. I don't like playing games on display, so I didn't really get into it. I did notice that the graphics were beautiful though and the world looked really expansive. I'm now accepting donations for a PS3, which I can use to play games like this and God of War.

Nickel Creek Coming To Louisville

On November 10th. I had the great pleasure of seeing them on Monday night at the University of Kentucky's Singletary Center. It was a phenomenal show. The opening act was "The Ditty Bops" and they really got the ball rolling. You can listen to full tracks at their website. None of that 30 second sample crap. I can't even really describe their sound. It's retro and some of their tracks have a swing, ragtime feel to them. It's not for everyone, but I sure as hell enjoyed it. It was a very whimsical show.

Anyway, Nickel Creek were awesome. They did play a lot of their actual tracks but the show was also like a modern bluegrass and folk jam session. Chris Thile really rocks on his mandolin. I expected him to kneel down over it at some point and light it on fire. They all work together really well and the sound they produce is incredible. Their latest album "Why Should the Fire Die?" has some great tracks on it but you really have to see their show for the full experience. Their world-premiere cover of Britney Spear's "Toxic" was a treat for all. They really nailed every nuance of that song and a good time was had by all. In an unprecedented move, the band invited everyone up on stage for their second encore. The stage filled rather quickly so I was unable to participate. I'm still blown away by the fact that they would even attempt such a thing. Everything went acoustic at that point and they ended with their title track. Two thumbs...way up!

My First EULA Violation

End User Liscence Agreements are for real.

I guess the use of the copywrighted name Asheron's Arse didn't fly for my wicked Guild Wars Archer. I can't play for a full 24 HOURS!?!? I need my crack!

Jersey Stinks

Terrible...it's already October and I haven't posted in almost a month! I just flew back after a dreadful week in Fort Dix, New Jersey and I can honestly say that Jersey sucks as much as I've always heard it did. The Weather has a been a vicious bastard up there and thanks to a flight cancellation, I had to spend an extra night in a one-room supply closet that cost me almost 70 bucks for 9 hours of misery. The value priced Econo Lodge was conveniently located close to the airport, which also happened to be right in the middle of a noisy truck plant. It was hell for sleeping.

Speaking of Jersey floods >> tv reporters are hilariously stupid <<

Sexy Keyboards

Lord knows I love cool peripherals, and I firmly believe that traditional keyboards weren't built for gaming. I swear by my Nostromo Speedpad n52 but I also realize that most of the PC gaming world uses WASD and takes great pleasure in it. It's nice to see that companies are taking the initiative to crank out some seriously cool keyboards for gaming.

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. I just read a couple of reviews and they were both pretty favorable. Backlit keys and a programmable LCD. Now that's just sexy!

Optimus Keyboard. This keyboard just looks bad-ass whether you're using it for gaming or word processing. The ladies will be lining up around the cubicle to watch you fill out your TPS reports with this badboy. I really hope these things make it into production and don't cost an arm and a leg.

If you have an Xbox you need this game.

So I finally decided on a new game to add to my collection. Yes I realized it was forever ago I started deciding but I made up my mind. I went with....

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes

All I have to say is holy crap this game is freaking awesome. Its a hybrid RTS and Hack-and-Slash action game. Its a very cool game dynamic. Heres the link to the review from Gamespot so you can see for yourself.

Office Space Super Duper Extra Special Edition Box Set

Thank You Lord! Now you too can have your very own red Swingline stapler. Why would you want one, you ask? Because it doesn't bind up as much, silly.

MIT Rolls Out $100 Linux Machines

Cheap laptops for developing nations. I'm all for it man. Laptops for everyone. Hell, I wish my laptop had a crank on it that I could turn for juice.

Harry Potter is Gay

At least, that's what this guy thinks. Apparently, it didn't go over to well either. Give the guy a break though. He's just saying what the rest of us are thinking. Haha!

Dear Harry Potter Fans,
I'm just kidding. Please don't send hate mail. I'm sure Harry is a nice guy who just happens to play with wands and make magic.

Python Bursts After Eating a Gator

WTF?!? That is some crazy $#!7 right there.

Is Nicholas Cage a Closet Nerd?

He named his son what? Way to go Nick! I just hope the kid doesn't grow up with a fear of rockets.

Just finished reading the whole article. He took his surname from Luke Cage? Holy crap, he is a nerd. I gotta admit, I'm getting kind of misty here. It's as if I've found a long lost brother or something.

Breathing a Sigh of Relief for the Halo Movie

Well, I feel much better now. With Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and WETA behind it, this movie has a lot of potential to melt some faces and rock some asses.

And congrats on the job, Fusion. Things are looking up my man. You get a job, I'm up to Level 18 in Halo2, and I've got a guy from Insight hooking me up with DVR tomorrow. Good times!
