LOST: New Promo

That's a new promo, in spanish....Enjoy/Overanalize the symbolism.
Don't worry if it doesn't make sense, worry if it does.

I've been following LOST since season 2, I managed to cram all of Season 1 into a weekend and then get caught up on Season 2 during one of it's infamous mid-season breaks. I listen to all the podcast's that are some what decent, I feverishly read lostpedia after every episode and I freak out at the mention of the word theory. That said, it's safe to say I'm a Lost fan. I stuck with it through the good, through the ridiculous, right down to the carrot dangling infuriating (promising us Libby's story for 2 years and then all of a sudden yanking it back and laughing at how we'll never find out what any of it meant, saying the actress won't come back, which all know is a lie because the last time any of us saw her do ANYTHING it was on LOST when she came on for two seconds and disapeared.)! Reguardless, I love the show and this promo has pretty pumped. I'll be sad to see itgo, but EXTREMELY happy to finally get some satisfying answers. (I mean I'm hoping they are satisfying).... After all the whole season could be one big "Micaheal/Meet Kevin Johnson" ordeal.

CYBER MONDAY

I'm kind of pissed that I decided to cover Black Friday. The tape I reordered the adventure on was kind of messed up, I'll still attempt to get the video up later in the week, but what sucks is after all that work, the internet had ALL the same deals.... fact some of the deals were better because it didn't require you to stay outside all day in the blistering cold (if your from Chicago)... AND now It's CYBER MONDAY... which if you grew up on AOL like i did could have a duel meaning, but instead of being gross Cyber Monday is just a huge kick in the crotch to all the people that went this weekend because the internet retailers are having some really great deals.

Right now I'm mostly following New Egg and Amazon. I'm hoping to get the Xbox 360 Wi-Fi for cheap and maybe a new plug for my powerbook pro. I'm even considering getting the new Apple OS. Ugh... I don't need to spend any more money.. But you do. So get to another site and start shopping, I'll allow it JUST THIS ONCE.

You Could of Been Lady Gaga...(& You are LIGHTS)

Sort of... In this clip Lady Gaga, talks about how she pretty much dresses like that because she was picked on in high school. That’s fantastic ! Seriously I love that concept, nerd girl grows up being called a freak, so when she grows up and is successful she really becomes one and embraces it. Frankly that’s what being a nerd is all about... Being a little weird but embracing ita nd being totally comfortable with who you are, even if it goes against the grain! I don’t know who’s a more awesome geek icon, Lady Gaga or Canada’s LIGHTS.



LIGHTS ? Yes.. LIGHTS. She’s literally one of the biggest scifi/gamer nerds alive and yet she makes electro pop music. I know what it sound like, but listen to the songs and watch her video blogs, you’ll see what I mean. She’s even got a quasi-motion comic detailing her adventures as a space ranger or something. To strengthen my point, she’s 22 and met her boyfriend on World of Warcraft...... YES. She’s one of those. I’m shocked she has career.

Mega Friday will Return on Monday Morning

Between "enjoying" family, eating turkey and covering my local black friday... starting at 3 am at Old Navy and hopefully ending at Best Buy... I'm not going to have time to write anything or screw around on the internet looking for interesting thinsg to post.

I'm sure your not reading this anyway, because you should have better things to do. Go enjoy what you can and be thankful for something...

What am I thankful for ? I'm thankful for Amazon.com having a 100 dollar basic Blu-Ray player, so I can focus on snatching up super cheap videogames on Friday. Hopefully they have some good game sales too... but either way, check back here on monday for my Black Friday coverage.

Also this:

You Can't Tell Me This Isn't Cool & A Little Scary...

These are Hyper Realistic Sculptures...If your confused just remember, None of these are real people. For some of the pieces it's pretty obvious they aren't real, considering distortions and missing body parts but.. yeah why are you even still reading this ?

The one of the older black woman STILL has me fooled.

Avatar Interactive Trailer Is REALLY Cool...

No matter how many bloggers make fun of Avatar or question it's quality one truth remains....

We're going to see it.

It doesn't look Gawd awful in terms of plot. It's CG is pretty stellar and it's got an insane marketing campaign. Yes it looks kinda goofy, with all the blue furries, but with all the coverage the blogs are giving it, you know your intrigued..... I know I am So I was fishing around Avatar's official site today and they've got an interactive trailer that begs to be experienced.

You can check it out at the official website: www.avatarmovie.com (look under the normal trailer for the download interactive trailer buttom)

Don't try doing this at work, the filters most likely won't let you in and unless you have an office it'll be obvious your not doing anything productive.

UPDATE: The Actual Wedding Ceremony of Man & Console

Ha. Someone in the video questioned if this was the end of Japan! Nope. Just the beginning of a guy going to bars and turning down real women because he has to stay faithful to his Nintendo DS. Or perhaps he'll start affairs... but this is assuming he's not marrying this "girl" out of desperation and has the ability to date real women.. there has to be a catch, there has to! No one is this pathetic.

Taylor Swift MIGHT Need Wittness Relocation...

First Kanye and now this... I think Hollywood is trying to make sure every black person on earth hates Taylor Swift... Watch, she's going to show up at the BET Hip Hop Awards and BAM! Bucket of chicken right to the dome !

I don't endorse this message, but I agree that Taylor swift shouldn't of beaten Michael Jackson in any kind of contest. He even has her beat if there's ever a lightest skin awards show. All that aside, this dude went off and landed some where in stereotypicalville and I have to just say one thing: "You go, Fish !"

Hugging May Lead To Sinning

I don't want to start a debate over religion or practices. I consider myself pretty open minded. I identify myself as a Christian, but sometimes other Christians make us look really really really bad. If you ask me, our job is to show the love of Christ and be examples, but suggesting it's sinful to frontally hug someone is ridiculous. The song itself is hard to take serious, you'll get what I mean in the first 8 seconds....But the message is a joke. I'm all for being pure and keeping a clean heart but "GIMME THAT CHRISTIAN SIDE HUG!" ? Really fam ? I give my married and single female friends front hugs, I give my mom and sister frontal hugs, I give my guy friends daps mixed with front hugs, and at no point did I feel compelled to ugh.....whats wrong with you ?

If you get dirty thoughts from hugging someone from the front, maybe you should practice this but for the rest of us with normal hormones, with a dash of self control I say hug away.

FROM THE FRONT! OHHHHHH!

STEVEN SEGAL IS BACK !!!... also Jean-Claude Van Damme

Dear Steven Segal,

So that's what happened to you Steven ? In between movies you were a deputy ? Cool. Unrelated question.... But why did all your movies start getting direct to video releases ? Admittedly most of your films were AWFUL, but always entertaining so I kept watching. Not just me, but Brad too. For his birthday one year I gave brad a collection of your movies. He was happy because laughing at absurd things is what makes the world goes round and trust me Steven, your movies are absurd! I just can't believe your back....ON TV.... ON A REALITY SHOW....WITHOUT RANDOM EXPLOSIONS....AS A "LAW MAN". OH MY GOD! The only thing that could make this better is a special appearance by Tony Danza: Boss Man.
Love,
Chris

BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE: UPDATED ALL WEEK

This woman works at Best Buy on Black Friday .... She has just seen her schedule...she also wonders where her torso is.. we can't help with that, or her at all but we can help the shoppers! Well some of them... Okay, we can help you. Maybe.

If you work retail, Black Friday sucks. I've luckily managed to avoid it in the past both as a shopper and a former Border's employee. You wouldn't think people would go crazy over getting deals on books but they do. Anyway, this year I've decided to go out and experience Black Friday for myself, which includes waking up at 4am and mapping out what deals I actually want to take advantage of. I decided to help you guys out and post a small list of the best deals available on videogames, consoles and Blu-Ray Players. I'm also listing online sales as well.

It's a small list but other sites have already started more extensive lists. I designed mine to be direct and straight to the point broken down by store rather than by product. Right now Target and Best Buy have the best offers... but that can vary depending on what you want. I listed the best prices I saw for particular stores, some products overlap.

For example Left 4Dead 2 is at every retail outlet but Best Buy offers the best price, which is why it's only listed on Best Buy's section.

Got it? Okay. I've also listed some links to online offers and included Gizmodo's entire listing for deals on televisions, cell phones, computers, home media stations and everything else.

I will be updating the list as new information comes in so check back regularly. Good luck out there guys !

For a list of Black Friday Deals on TV's, Computers, Phones and Everything else I didn't cover, I'm endorsing Gizmodo's Black Friady Listing: They literally have everything, but it's not specific when it comes to games and the items I covered.

That’s not all... Historically the internet has also participated in Black Friday, but in recent years they developed their own savings day with Cyber Monday, which is obviously just another day to save money on items, only online, so save your receipts from in-store purchases in the event the internet Black Friday or Cyber Monday provides you with better deals.

Amazon.com will be offering black Friday caliber deals this entire week, starting TODAY, Monday November 23, which I can’t even begin to speculate on. All I know is they will be updating the site all week with different deals o different products. So check it regularly.

Newegg.com, during Black Friday is offering 10% Cash Back at 3PM PST on all products on NewEgg.com that link is to the Twitter page, they currently have a list of "Black Friday Previews" all over. If you have Twitter I suggest adding them as a friend for a day and checking the site regularly.

Man Married his Nintendo DS, Wedding Videos

Last week I posted a story about a guy that decided to marry his virtual girlfriend inside his Nintendo DS game, Love Plus. He wasn't married when I posted the story, but now he is and he posted the wedding slide show and the moment where he kisses his bride at the end of the ceremony. It's quite sweet, when you ignore that his girlfriend is still just a computer program that doesn't even know it's married.

The messed up thing is the wedding happened in Guam, which is a providence of the United States. A place where it's illegal for gay people to get married, but perfectly legal for a guy to marry a hunk of plastic. Huh ? What's weird is technically, If he pops in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney or plays a Mario Brothers game he's married to them too...I think. Wait... Is he married to the program ? The cartridge? The Nintendo DSi system ? Or is this just too stupid to try to figure out ? ......Any way here are the wedding videos. Try not to cry.

Wedding Slide Show... Ah! Virtual, young, screwed up one sided love.


You may now kiss your bride...Aw, She blushing! No wait, her batteries just low.

Twilight New Moon, Wasn't THAT BAD, Still Annoying

Twilight New Moon was number one in the box office this weekend bringing in 140 million dollars, 258 million worldwide, I didn't suspect anything less. It's been riding on he hype machine since the day after the first movie came out...If this movie didn't come in at number one some PR guy really screwed up.

Adding to those numbers was I, your MF correspondent. I took my little sister, which made her happy. I was honestly looking for soemthing to mock, I figure If I'm going to make fun of this thing, I need to know what I'm talking about...unfortunetly there's not a lot to mock, that i didn't already make fun of with the first one. Admitedly, It's a lot better than the first one. That might be due to the film focusing mostly on warewolves and the fact that the warewolves are a lot cooler than the vampires, although Dekota Fanning's vampire was pretty dope. She has the power to make you cringe in agony by saying things like "pain". ..... it was alot cooler when I saw it than it is explaining it right now. Just trust me, stay away from Dekota Fanning when her eyes are red.

It was pretty fun being in the theater with all the Twilight fangirls because I was able to find my own comedy in certain momnets. For instance when Jacob took off his shirt, all the girls went ooooh ! and I did the same in the deepest voice i could conjur. OHHHH JACOB! The guy behind me caught the joke and almost choked on his popcorn. Before that there's a scene where the shinniest vampire of them all, Edward walks across the screen in slow motion, and all I could think was, "wow, really?"..it was done in that style used in John Woo action films, but usually there's a team of super gangster militant opperatives with guns and explosives, but this was just Edward, looking hungry.

Other than that, it was standard Twilight fare. Unhealthy relationships (at one point Bella doesn't move from a chair, change her clothes or shower for 3 months because her and Edward are apart), cheesy lines, misfired lines, bad acting that slowly gets better as the story progresses and action scenes that get you really pumped up and then end 3 seconds later. I really wanted to see those two warewolves fight each other for a long time, it was a good fight for the 30 seconds it lasted. And I get the target audience doesn't want to see wolves fight because they rather watch Edward and Bella make out. And boy do they make out, Edward has to have the shinniest bluest balls on earth.

I still don't get why they are so in love with each other and why Bella wants to be a vampire so bad. I understand it would suck to keep aging while you get saggy and wrinkly, but your also giving up your soul and part of what makes you special to Edward. Doesn't she get that part of her allure to Edward is that he really really really wants to bite and kill her, once she's a vampire, that's gone. Then she'll just be that girl who's mind he can't read, which makes Edward just like everyother guy in a committed relationship. And wow, I just realised I know way too much about this series than I thought I did or ever wanted to. I have to go shower.

Turtles Forever Premiere's TOMORROW !

It's the date I've been waiting for, for months ! Turtle's Forever debuts tomorrow ! WOOOOHOO.. I mean ....COWWWWAAAABUNGUH ! I'm still pumped for the DVD. But I'll deal with this for the time being. If you don't know what Turtle's Forever is.. just watch the clip. If you don't care, screw you.

MAN LEGALLY MARRIES HIS GIRLFRIEND TRAPPED INSIDE HIS GAME BOY

From GamerCave

Interesting fact about Guam: You can apparently bring your virtual girlfriend there to get married. Smitten with the fair anime maiden Nene Anegasaki in Love Plus, a man reportedly took his Nintendo DS to a Guam church, where he and the very two-dimensional character were wedded in arguably unholy matrimony. The report originates from Gizmodo.jp, which received a letter to the editor explaining the situation. The man intends to celebrate the marriage in Japan, and has invited the media to look in on the ceremony at 12:00 p.m. (Local time? It’s not clear) on Sunday.

Love Plus is a Nintendo DS game that has players court three virtual women. In the first half of the game, players juggle relationships with all three, but the second half becomes open-ended, letting the player develop a relationship with the character through communication and interaction. There are over 5,000 scripts in the game, 150 CG events and 20,000 voices. Love Plus uses the Nintendo DS’s real-time clock, so events in the game depend on when you’re playing. What I’m not sure about is whether Nene knows that she’s married now. That could be a disaster. Oh, and if you think this is a one-off thing, consider that over 3,000 people have signed a petitionseeking the right to marry 2D characters. Will Guam become the 2D avatar marriage capital of the world?

I don't care who you are.. that honey moon is going to suck. And what if you meet a, uh you know real woman ? Are you really going to turn her down to be faithful tour virtual wife, that may or may not know she's married to you?...... FAIL.

BTW.. The Wedding is in two days. The man has invited media to attend and I promise to cover it if I can...something about these screams publicity stunt but it's still legal, there's something wrong with that.

SING WITH BOWSER, SPECIAL MUSICAL WEB COMIC, GO!

This from the Stealth comic episode the musical comic is in the link...

To Celebrate it's 200th comic Brawl in the Family, a Smash Brothers inspired web comic did a musical comic. I can't really say anything except it's awesome and we all should be ashamed of ourselves for having not seen this piece of genius earlier. Truthfully I was probably watching youtube video's of cats jumping on things when I should of been reading Brawl in the Family. Live and learn.

When listening to the musical comic, I suggest headphones. Not because you want to hide your nerd love but because it's a more immersive experience.

Fan Made McDonald's Commericals Are Better Than The Real Ones

The following are McDonald's commercials. Only the last one is real, the other two are fan made but still impressive. Personally I think the first two sell the burgers a little better. If your going to go urban Micky D's. Go authentic. Today was such a slow news day, sorry for all the videos but it's not like you pay to come here. ENJOY!

"Are You Hungry ?"


"I'm lovin it BADABOPBOPBOP"


When the commercial ended they told him he was adopted. PEACE!

Coolio is Back... Not A Joke

" Minty Fresssssssh"

Unless your 10 years old, you remember Coolio. The scary black dude with the weird hair, even for the 90's. He goes on record for being one of the only people to get pissed when Weird Al made a parody of one of his songs. His big hit was Gangsta's Paradise. He had a bunch of other hits and then in midst of his success disappeared. What killed him was making that song with Willie Nelson... What song ? Exactly.

Anyway, last year he came back with a reality show called Coolio's Rules on a network that no one has. It's about him raising his family and having a new career as a chef. if you've ever seen the show it's kinda sad because you can tell Coolio wasn't around a lot when they were growing up. One of his sons seems to really hate him. Considering the show hasn't been cancelled, I guess it's a success but the coolio train doesn't stop there.... you see he has another show, An internet cooking show. The show is hillarious because he goes out of his way to "blacken" every thing. No pun intended. Example. Emerald says BAM! Coolio says .....Shaka-Zulu!

Here's an interview excerpt from boston.com
Q. Describe your style of cooking.

A. I do fusion. Ghetto fusion. I don’t use the proper names for things when I talk about cooking. It’s not that I can’t speak properly, it’s because I want to do that. So there we go. I am the Ghetto Gourmet, and my style of cooking is ghetto fusion. Instead of saying African-American and Asian, I say Blasian. Instead of saying urban and Italian, I say Ghettalian.

He gives his food unappealing names (Chicken Lettuce Blunts ?) and then nick names himself the ghetto gormet. Right. He does make good points in saying things like" being poor doesn't mean you have to eat fat food every night" but those points are drowned out because you can tell he's doing this for the money not the love. Now that his music career is dead and all his money's been spent this is all he has left to do. It's his last hustle and while he might shoot me for writing this, his lack of genuine intenet makes it difficult to take him seriously. He's not trying to be a real chef from the hood. He's trying to be a gimmick.



Now let's all help him out by watching, learning and laughing at episodes of his horrible interent cooking show. Glad to have you back Coolio. One Question, What helps you cook better, the bedazzled head peice or the sunglasses?

To Coolio,
1-2-3-4 Pick yo career off the floor gotta cook the meet till it's brown....gotta cook the meat till it's brown..

Top Grossing Movies of the 2000's

From TYWKAIBI:

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
3. The Dark Knight
4. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
6. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
8. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
9. Shrek 2
10. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
11. Spider-Man 3
12. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
13. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
14. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
15. Finding Nemo
16. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
17. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
18. Spider-Man
19. Shrek the Third
20. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The first thing I noted is literally 98% of these movies are nerd worthy. Does this means our ranks have secretly grown to ridiculously atrocious numbers? Does this mean the title of the movie series Revenge of the Nerds is meant to be taken literally, OR DOES IT MEAN... the term nerd has become over used and liking fantasy is something everyone does, is it possible nerds are merely just the pioneers, the first to be open and incessant about our leisure activities ?

Have we been given a bad rap, or is it just the magic of sequels and family friendly properties ? All these movies are sequels and have all at one point or another been adapted to appeal to children. I noted this while scanning the list only to see the person who posted it came to the same conclusion, but also pointed out Finding Nemo is the only original property on the list, the rest are sequels or adaptations.

WILD SPECULATION: The Black Cat to be Played By Woman with Chest...

Various outlets have posted "news" that several actresses have been cast to play The Black Cat in the Spider-Man 4 film and they all keep being wrong. Today Anne Hathaway was thrown into the ring. Everyone claims to have exclusive information, when all they did was speculate on the plot. Well here at MF, we're no different so we're tossing our completely speculative and unconfirmed guess into the ring. We too will pretend like this is news, rather than rumor and give nerds a reason to objectify another starlet....

The Black Cat needs to be sassy, curvaceous( see The Black Cats outfit above) and sexy while being able to play up the role of a socialite when taking on her Felicia Hardy alter ego. It also helps if the actress looks like the character. Personally no one on the current list fits that bill:

• Rachael McAdams (And Nerds squealed YESSSS.)
• Romola Garai (And nerds said who?)
• Anne Hathaway (And nerds resumed squealing.)

My addition to the list actually takes into account important aspects of the character and does just as much speculating as everyone else...... Charlotte Church

I have no sources. I only have my hopes and nerd knowledge to back me up. But really.. look at her, she looks like a carbon copy of the character from comics. All we'd need is some way to justify her being interested in the movie version of Peter Parker, which by all accounts is almost too nerdy even for me.

Harry Potter in the Hood

Drive by magic indeed.

The black guys in this thing are funny enough that you can watch this with the sound off and it's still funny. I'm literally shocked I've never seen this before. It's Harry Potter in the hood ! And I'm from the hood (sort of). I should of had this hand delivered the day it was created, anyway... Call him H. Piddy.

Just one thing.. Are there ever going to be any "in the hood" features that don't reference 40 oz malt liquor. That was only funny in the early 90's....People in the hood don't even drink that any more... I believe they've upgraded to Ciroc.

OMG: Plot for next Zelda, Revealed/Speculated Upon

Kotaku posted a story today that says Nintendo has some shocking plans in store for the next Wii installment of Zelda to be released at the 2010 E3. Purely from looking at the artwork shown at 09 E3 I decided to speculate on a plot:

Link is born into a world where everyone will morph into a giant ogre at night. Link is top of his class at an Elfin academey and his nemesis/rival is Zelda... In an attempt to end their rivalry she pursues and has been driven mad by the power of the negative triforce... Link needs to defeat her, without killing her, by finding the original tri force, which is hidden within the grave of Ganon.

The problem with that is removing the tri force will bring Ganon back to life and plunge Hyrule into even further danger.

It is during this that Link's master sword is destroyed, and his young paige, a girl by the name of Velsma offers herself as an instrument of destruction to be used by Link and Link alone. The fairies grant her wish and the new story begins anew.

Link must save Zelda from her own wickedness. Restore Velsma to human/Elfin form. And gain the true tri force without awakening Ganon. All the while dealing with how becoming an ogre at night effects when/how he should carry out certain tasks.

Plus you get to ride an elephant instead of a horse..because becoming an ogre while on the horse would kill it. Something Link learned the hard way as a boy.

None of this will happen of course but if it did I would shake my fist wildly into the air before wetting myself with excitement. As ridiculous as my treatment is, it's no more zany as Link becomes a wolf and a spirit alien things rides him while fighting shadow, thing and fishing....again.

Pulp Fiction Super Mario ! Woo Hoo!

{Warning: This ain't for the little toadstools and Baby mario's}

I love when ever someone does these BAMF versions of Mario. We all know Mario will never be gritty but it's always fun to imagine. The 1993 Super Mario Brothers Movie was as close to an edgy Mario as we're going to get and even he was lovable, with his mechanical jumping boots and appreciation of voluptuous mushroom kingdom women....which isn't a bad thing because it allows for the type of escapism we see in the above video.

As Found on Neatorama

Let's Preview Scrubs Season 9 !

So wait. They are focusing on this Lucy girl and not the awesome interns they got us used to last season? I mean I saw Denise, but it doesn't seem she's the focus....and she should be, she was the best character they introduced last season. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't exactly like Lucy, her first impression sucked. And where's the guy who played "The Famous Jet Jackson" ? I admit I took a break from scrubs when it got too Zach Brafy(emo) but I came back last season and I expected that to be the end, but then they bring it back giving me expectations of sheer sillynees now that Braf's off the show, but this is almost too much. Eh... the show doesn't premiere until Decemeber and this was only a 93 second clip... maybe i'm reading to much into it. Or maybe ABC is ruining the greatest (and only)medical situaion comedey ever made !

Own Your VERY Own Poodle Ninja Turtle-Leonardoodle

WOW. That dog looks so depressed. Yes, THAT dog. Those are all the same dog. I'd call the owner crazy but after really looking at these, she's just pushing that thin line into genius territory. I mean, what nerd wouldn't want a, and I quote, "Poodle Ninja Turtle-Leonardoodle", walking around the house, only to get bored and turn it into a pac man or a dragon. Clearly this woman enters and wins competitions, which makes her a winner in my book. Thanks to Jon for sending this my way.

Don't let the fun end there though, You have to see her other stuff: http://pinkcoyote.net/creativegrooming.html

No More Heroes Coming To Xbox 360 & PS3

Scan From Kotaku via Famitsu


I'm not sure how to take this news. No More Heroes comes close to being my favorite game this generation. It's literally insane and i'm happy other console owners will get to experience but I feel like porting this game shows Suda missed the point. I think he just got overzealous with the game's moderate success. Killer 7 was released on PS2 and Gamecube and still didn't sell as well as No More Heroes. Know why ? Suda's games are niche. Niche titles rarely sell that well. I bought No more Heroes in fact because it was 20 dollars and had heard good things about it. I had reservations considering how ugly the models were and how dead the world outside the motel felt, but after a few boss battles and story revelations, I was sold.

If given a choice between getting this game with hi-res graphics for other systems or getting the original on Wii, I'd still pick up the Wii version because part of the charm of the original is the creative use of the Wii-Mote and Suda making due with the limited resources Wii had to offer. No More Hero's is one of the few games I'm glad had motion controls....and seemingly would actually be less fun on other consoles, no matter how many half naked girls you put in it. I mean half the mini-games were tailor fit for the Wii, picking up trash or filling gas tanks won't be as much fun or challenging using standard controls. Remember the batter up challenge in the subways? The one where you swing the wii-mote at the right time and right speed to hit the ball into all your enemies so you don't have to fight them. Yeah, not as cool if you just press a button to swing the bat. And how about charging up your light saber? A both hillarious and genius use of the waggle controls. Not as cool if you just rotate the D pad. I promise half of the presentation wouldn't be what it was if it began on other systems. The game wouldn't have featured those old school game marquees or game over title screens....some of the stuff was added because the Wii couldn't render hi def graphics, and that stuff gave the game charm and made it exciting... I'm inclined to believe without the character of the Wii, this game will be very mediocre.

*Shrug* No More Heroes 2 ON Wii... will still be an awesome game.

KONAMI CODE on FACEBOOK...

Much like the magic unicorns on ESPN a less cool effect happens when you input the following while on facebook:

Press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter then right click. If you scroll up or down, or press up or down, or type anything in a text box magic circles will appear!

The only way to stop it is to log off or reload the page, put this as your status if it worked for you this actually does work

If you did it right it'll look like this:


It's no where near as cool as a barrage of unicorns and rainbows but it's something. *SHRUG* I wonder if it's just a coincidence since today is the launch of facebook on xbox 360 or simply another rouge programmer. Time will tell.

Update: Upon some research I found a site that lists known sites that access features if the Konami code is entered. You need the Konami code to access the site of course: http://konamicodesites.com/

Black Dynamite Features Worst Black Names EVER

Black Dynamite is a 2009 movie made in the style of the Blaxploitation films of the 1970's. From viewing the trailer it's just a straight up rip off of Dolomite. It's staring the guy who played Spawn in the Spawn movie and features some of the worst black nick names of all time.... For example, Arsenio Hall plays a character named Tastey-Freeze. I know what your wondering, Where the heck did Arsenio come from? ..... well from the look of this list, the movie could be considered a reunion for all the black actors that disapeared after being in every black movie/failed TV sitcom in the 90's... Heck it's even got Brian McKnight as a character named.... Sweetmeat. Yup.

Below are the actors with character names:

• Michael Jai White - Black Dynamite
• Arsenio Hall - Tasty Freeze
• Tommy Davidson - Cream Corn
• Obba Babatunde - Osiris
• Kevin Chapman - O'Leary
• Richard Edson - Dino
• Darrel Heath - Militant 2
• Buddy Lewis - Gunsmoke
• Brian McKnight - Sweetmeat
• James McManus - Richard Nixon
• Byron Minns - Bullhorn
• Phil Morris - Saheed
• Miguel A. Núñez Jr. - Mo Bitches
• Salli Richardson - Gloria
• Tucker Smallwood - Congressman James
• John Salley - Kotex
• Chris Spencer - Militant 1
• Mike Starr - Rafelli
• Nicole Sullivan - Patricia Nixon
• Kym Whitley - Honeybee
• Mykelti Williamson - Chicago Wind
• Bokeem Woodbine - Black Hand Jack
• Cedric Yarbrough - Chocolate Giddy-Up
• Roger Yuan - Fiendish Dr. Wu
• Justine Joli, Charlotte Stokely, Charmane Star, Erika Vuitton, and Stacey Adams as Ladies of Leisure

Oh geeze, Chocolate Giddy-Up... Remember when some of these actors had promising careers ? Jawana-Man's even in this... WOW. And with that I HAD to provide a trailer. From w hat I understand the movie came out last month. I NEVER saw a trailer for it until last week, so this is going to get Netflixed like mad as I'm sure they plan to get it out ASAP, considering it recieved a lot of positive reviews. That's my logic, just accept it:


Apparently despite the commercial flop, the movie is getting made into a cartoon network/adult swim animated series, according to /Film.

Future/Past Chritmas Gifts... Jr Scale 1956 Corvette

Yes. This kid looks like the biggest dork in the world, but I bet you anything he gets all the ladies. Why ? Because women love when you waste money on nice cars and for a 6 year old nerd kid, that's a nice car.

From LikeCool

The Junior 35 MPH Classic Corvette is perfect for rich kids! This is the 2/3-scale, gasoline-powered replica of a 1956 Corvette C1, renowned for racing at Florida's famous Sebring International Raceway.Powered by reach a maximum speed of 35 mph, it can reach a maximum speed of 35 mph. It has automatic transmission; a single shifter controls forward, neutral, and backward movement. It can support 2 riders, supports up to 330 lbs.

I suggest getting it repainted all black and throw some rims up on there to increase your pimpage, kid. I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of hating on the kid because when I was his age my parents got me a junior scale power wheels Jeep. A freaking Jeep! No one likes Jeeps, and that's why my sister was the only girl that would ride with me. It set me up for years of settling for less than quality rides, and thus less than quality pimpage.

Seriously, Christmas is around the corner. If you have a boy that you love. Help his pimpage, don't make the same mistakes my parents did. Oh by the way the thing costs 32 THOUSAND GROUCHO MARXING DOLLARS !

Top 5 Sarah Pallin Book Jokes

I don't care if your conservative, liberal, moderate or animorphic when you heard Sarah Pallin was writing a book a number of jokes popped up into your mind. I want to restate that Mega Friday is not a political blog but we do delve into pop culture, much like a soup spoon in sponge cake.... and considering she went on Oprah today, Sarah is sponge cake today. Yum!

5. Beware all children participating in Pizza Hut's Book-It program. Sarah Pallin's book, Going Rouge will cause you to lose stickers if listed.

4. Sarah Pallin's new book, Going Rouge is Dedicated in Memory of Sarah Pallin's political career, and later the shorter leg of your coffee table.

3.

2. Sarah Pallin's book, Going Rouge is also available in braille for the hearing impaired.

1.


Personally I think Sarah got a bad rap. Yes she said a lot of dumb things and went from being adored by the media to being treated like an Alaskan step child with a bad sense of direction, almost overnight, but our current and last president experienced the same phenomenon. One day they love you because your good looking and can string together a few worlds articulately but as soon as your shiny new gloss wears off they treat you like crap. If any lessons can be learned from this, it's don't trust the media. Next it's never make another mistake again. Ever. And lastly, don't lie about things and then cover up your lies with worse lies when caught off guard. Just be honest, if thats too difficult, learn better deflecting techniques, don't give some transparently BSed answer. All politicians should be forced to take regular debate courses so they can handle interviews and end being caught in situations that lead to the above perception that Sarah Pallin is as dumb as a rock. She's not. She's clearly a very intelligent woman. She's made it very far in life, and considering she married "Todd" I doubt she slept her way to the middle. A combination of looks and personality can't take you as far as she's gotten, otherwise we would be lead under the power of president Hallie Berry and prime minister Ashton Kutcher.

I'm just saying...

GEEK'S SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY DAY... Today.

Today is a big day for me. I accidentally overdrew on my bank account....stupid apartment company cashed my check a few days early, which normally isn’t an issue but my payroll at work accidentally didn’t pay me on Friday, and I thought I'd be able to coast by and well it obviously didn't work but I worked it all out so I could focus on what really matters.....Movies and videogames ! Today marks the release of the Star Trek 2009 movie release. The new Star Trek movie was GREAT. It was the only movie I’ve seen this year that I can come close to considering flawless that wasn’t aimed at children. I’ve been waiting for this release since the second time I saw this movie. If you hate Star Trek, you’ll love this movie. If you love Star Trek, you’ll love this movie as long as you don’t think too hard about the possible paradoxes it creates. Yes that’s how awesome this movie is, it creates paradoxes in your life ! Plus from what I’ve been reading at i09 the special features are banana’s( The William Shatner kind of banana's), so don’t waste your time on the single disc version of this movie.

If I get a PS3, I’m actually planning on double dipping and getting the Blu-Ray, if you know me that’s a big deal.

Also on top of this phenomenal news today also marks the release of Left 4 Dead 2. I caught on the wave of Left 4 Dead late in the game, but this time around I want to be on the forefront of the action. I can’t give you any other impressions that what I already did with my quick and dirty demo review. From what I’ve played, this should be a lot of fun. I chose not to get in on the big Modern Warfare 2 craze in favor of this game. So let’s just hope I put my eggs in the right basket. Part of that decision was also my want to pick up the new Super Mario Bros. Wii that came out over the weekend and not wanting to spend almost 200 dollars in one weekend, which brings me to my next problem...

Black Friday is coming up very soon and it’s been confirmed that Walmart will be selling Left for Dead 2 for 40 dollars and I’m sure other special prices aren’t far behind. Due to this I haven’t pre-ordered anything and have instead decided to delay gratification by a week as a means to save some major money and possibly get trampled by crowds. I’m seriously considering wearing battle armor, both for effect and protection....I’m not joking. I just wish I would of thought of this the day after Halloween.

1 Great Thing : Beyonce & Gaga

Who can get lady Gaga to take the lamp shade off her neck ? Beyonce, of course. I promise a real set of articles this week but to tide you over here’s a wacked out video featuring Beyonce & Lady Gaga. Why is this nerd worthy ? Well look at the video, you can’t tell me over half of this stuff isn’t influence by comic books...or drugs. Oddly enough Lady Gaga is extra regular in this video, and it’s Beyonce who dresses like a wack job. Not saying Gaga is a wack job, but that she dresses like one. I could tell you I saw her with a trash bag on one of her legs and you would just shrug it off like that’s normal... That says something.

I DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT by bk

I DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT have a supporting role in the upcoming movie "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." I DON'T know who told you that, or where people keep hearing this. Certainly NOT from me. NOR from my cousins twitter account. At NO point during this sexy teen vampire film do I appear on screen or in voice. C'mon, if I were to actually be in this movie, I would NOT play Guidance Counselor Lothar "Lonnie" WitchingSmith, a character who not only serves as a high school guidance counselor, but is also secretly an ancient occult expert whose loyalties are ambigious at first, but end up ultimately benefitting the main protagonist. I've NEVER portrayed a guidance counselor. NO, NO, that was a principal in "Mean Girls." NOT the same thing. Ridiculous! Look, there is NOT a scene where I pull up the ultra sexy, ultra fast vampiremobile in the heat of battle and save the day. I DON'T say lines like, "Geesh, this place is turning into Vampire high," or " I wouldn't cross me, you no name nosferatu." I would NOT die a cheap death to save the kids somewhere between Act 2-3, and I would NOT have a small referring joke bit during the credits. I HAVEN'T even heard much about this movie or even read and re-read the book. Maybe you have me confused with some one like Kevin Spacey, or Snoop Dogg, that would make sense. But me, in a blockbuster movie based on the bestselling teen novels, NOPE, definitely NOT. and by the way, if you stare closely at the theatrical poster, you DON'T see me ominously standing in the fog with a upturned trenchcoat collar concealing my face.

Drunkest Guy Ever Wasn't Drunk

He was just being slapped around by a level sixteen wizard...

There's a video that's been circulating the internet of a guy so ridiculously drunk he can't get up. It was already funny by itself but someone has decided to nerd it up and make it a whole other kind of funny, and by nerd it up I mean... well just look for yourself.

When Advertisers Insult Our Intellegence

It's called photoshop !


Nothing to see here, just a banner ad I saw while working.. continue with your daily life.

Remember..... Pipeworks !

Remember Playskool's Pipeworks ? Easily the greatest but most dangerous toy of all time. It was like a life size version of legos or K'Nex but with plastic pipes. You could build club houses, stationary bikes, slides, wagons, side walk cots, wheel barrels, rocking chairs and anything else you could come up with. When I had mine, I made all of the above but I also loved Ninja Turtles so I often made weapons out of the pipes, I was an only child until 1989 so I'd create a literal wall to hit, so my parents wouldn't yell at me for hitting the real one. I'd pretend it was Shredder.

The only reason I call Pipeworks dangerous is because you made the structures yourself and that means there was no guarentee that you wouldn't build a replica of the Eifeil Tower, pretend to be King Kong and fall off while climbing to the top. I mean there weren't a lot of accomplished 6 year old architech's in the late 80's and truthfully most parents stop helping you play with toys after the first 2 times. SURE Playskool gave you a manual showing you how to build the stuff they wanted you to make safely, but there's no instruction manual for imagination. Still I miss these things. I wish I had them to share with my nephews when they were younger.

Below is a video of 80's ad's the Pipeworks commercial comes on at 3:00 exactly... it'll give you a good idea of how the things worked in real life, ignore those kids who look bored, they're just bad actors:

SAY IT AIN'T SO : Spider-Man Arrested

Dude, the real Spider-Man DOES NOT commit crimes NOR does he use cake icing to create the webs on his costume.

People of Walmart must be starting to get really desperate...

Don't you know the alien costume is the way to go if your going to commit a crime ? FAIL.

See that little girl? Do you see her dreams ? No , you don't..because you killed them, Spider-Jerk! Boooo... (It's just like being in the 3rd movie!)

From The LA Times

A Spider-Man impersonator was arrested on outstanding criminal warrants today after an incident in which he allegedly slugged a man near the Hollywood and Highland complex, Los Angeles police said.

It was not immediately clear what led to the altercation, which was reported about 12:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard. But it's the latest in a string of incidents involving movie characters and celebrity lookalikes who vie for space -- and attention -- along the tourist-filled corridor that includes Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Christopher Loomis, 39, was being held on outstanding misdemeanor warrants in lieu of $5,500 bail, police said.

The incident unfolded when LAPD patrol officers received a radio call reporting a battery by a man in a Spider-Man costume. When they arrived, they encountered four different people dressed as the web-slinging crusader.

The police are always trying to keep the red and blue man down. Don't these cops read comics ? The other guys were obviously evil clones and Spidey was just defending himself. Sheesh. But really, what was this dude thinking ? Outstanding warrants and you go punch someone while wearing something that narrows down the offender to, oh say about 4 people. In the full article it says there were other Spider-Man imposters on the scene.... Why ?
