Catch up

Everything

Time for a quick game of catch up.

The new albums by Audioslave and Method Man, “Revelations” and “4:21…The Day After”, respectivly, are both fantastic. Fans of Rock and Rap can’t go wrong with these discs.

Dead Rising for the xbox 360 is a fantastic game, a true showcase for next gen games. It’s got a shitty DRE problem that seems to pop up once a game session that is irratating but it’s not a game killer. A sequel is a no brainer (not a zombie pun, I swear) and would be very easy to make better than the original. Namly, online co-op. Lots of great games coming out really. Company of Heros on the PC, NBA 2k7, NHL 07, Saints Row for 360, Yakuza and Okami on the PS2. The Tokyo Game Show is happening as we speak with a lot of good info coming out and X06 is next week where MS should be showing us 360 a whole lot to look foward to.

My apologies to rapper T.I after I talked shit about him a few weeks ago. I watched ATL and really liked him in it so he doesn’t suck as much as I said he did.

Howard Stern continues to suck ass. May Opie and Anthony (and lil Jimmy Norton) continue to stomp a mud hole in his greedy, egotistical, lying ass.

I’m hungry so I’m going to go eat Gods gift to man: Pizza.

Full Metal Alchemist

Movies, TV

I recently finished watching the Full Metal Alchemist series (2 seasons, 51 episodes spread out on 13 DVDs) and I think it has unseated Cowboy Bebop as my favorite anime series. It’s an incredibly powerful show with some of the best characters ever made, great animation, amazing music and a plot that delivers on every level. It’s funny, it’s exciting, it’s really fucking sad. The series ended in Japan at the end of 2004 and we just got the DVDs last week. Cartoon Network finished showing the series in the US a few weeks ago, but it was a long wait regardless (I waited for the dvd’s because anime on dvd is infinitly better than watching it on tv). We just got the movie as well and I’m waiting for that from Netflix. I can’t wait because the show had one of the best endings I’ve ever seen in my life.

Steve Irwin

Life

As if everybody doesn’t know already, Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter was killed today by a stingray while filming a new documentary. I think everyone is amazed a crocodile didn’t finally get him, but no matter what his death is a great loss. Cruising on the edge of danger for most of his life it’s amazing a creature that spends most of it’s life keep it real did him the most harm. He was doing what he loved, something we should all admire. Life really is something.

R.I.P Mr. Irwin and best wishes to his family.

Summer, we hardly knew you

You know what grinds my gears?

It’s offically September, but it is Labor day weekend so we still have good weather! Yeah right. Summer ended last freaking week. The sun basically hasn’t been seen in these parts in a week. Dreary and 70 degrees at the most, nights you’re looking at 60. Winter always hangs around forever and fall never wants to give summer a chance. All in all, it’s been a crap summer. We didn’t get summer weather until mid June! Winter better not be brutal this year, I can’t take it.
