RED STEEL 2 REVIEW By Classic Game Room

Classic Game Room reviews Red Steel 2. I can't do it, so I'm just featuring a crew I respect. That's cool right ? Doesn't matter. This is my site. But I need you to stay... and click on ads.... err read the articles.

I was already excited about this game for a few reasons.

A. The game had it's issues but it was still fun.
B. The new game looks nothing like the first and has replaced the great story elements with better gameplay and controls.
C. Wait.. WHAT ? Why not just do both ? Why does Nintendo always do this crap ?
D. Gameplay is why we buy games, if you want to watch a movie use your netflix account.
E. Fine. The spiffy new graphics that remind us all of Borderlands, even though i hated Borderlands.
F. U. (Tee hee)
G. The game just looks great !

TROLLS 2: The BEST WORST MOVIE EVER, Seriously

I was introduced to Trolls 2 the same way as everyone else. This clip:

I laughed but that was really about it. Then yesterday io9 posted an article about a documentary done by the kid that played Joshua:

That in turn inspired me to read up on more about the film itself and by read up on I mean looking at this video:

After laughing myself silly and almost throwing up in my mouth I decided to read the wikipedia summary and I just feel like I need to see this movie. Between the concept of vegetarian Goblins turning humans into veggie pudding, the double Decker bologna sandwich that defeats evil, the zoom ins every time the boy speaks and the horrid acting I can’t think of anything that would be more entertaining. It has a 0% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which means absolutely no reviewer, any where could find anything to like about it. It seems so bad that it must be good. I mean it did a spawn a less notorious sequel, so that must count for something. Right ?

Right now, I’m pretty obsessed... I just hope after I see the movie I don’t wind up in a situation like I had in college with “Meet The Feebles” the movie so awful that everyone in the room agreed to cut it off half way through. We were so jazzed after hearing how bad it was but it turned out to be the worse kind of bad. Even my friend that loves Quinton Tarintino style violence couldn’t stomach it... That’s saying a lot. He laughed during Kill Bill when Uma’s character cut people’s heads off and the blood sprayed like a fountain..but felt sick to his stomach watching MTF. I hoping Trolls 2 isn’t that kind of bad.. From the clips I’ve seen it can’t be but let’s just hope I’m right.

Tay Zonday Goes HARD

Tay Zonday will NEVER make another Chocolate Rain. And that's good because it was an awful song. It was the definition of repetitive and yet it was perfect for our ring tone generation. The video and his childlike appearance added to the gawking appeal. Years later he's still making music and his videos are more popular than the average youtube video. He recently released this new song called MUSICOLIO. It's for some website I otherwise wouldn't look at. The song itself is really good. It's repetitive like Chocolate Rain but shows a wide range of talent. He raps... but he raps just like the creepy Uncle from Bewitched, Uncle Arthur... just watch it !

NERD LOTION -SCI FI TV Tonight & Thursday

This week is an AMAZING week for Scifi-TV but a HORRIBLE one for night time productivity.

By day I'm a graphic designer, by night I'm a freelance graphic designer which leaves little room to watch all the nerdy shows I love. Last year this wasn't a big deal because I really only had to make room for LOST and Fringe but now.. especially now that two hiatused ABC shows have returned we have:

FRINGE- Returning this Week
V-Returning this Week
LOST
Flash Forward
Supernatural ( Don't watch it )
Small Ville- Returning this Week (I think)

I know there are others but I'm focusing on the shows I actually watch which are just the 4 in bold.

V is on Tonight. Those first 4 episodes are awesome so I'm thirsty for more. It's hard to really explain, part of me wishes it was just a mini series, that way I wouldn't have to worry about getting sucked in only to have it get canceled. I feel like it's an excellent show, but I'm afraid it's going to take time to get it's legs. The acting is point on, the story is great, but the biggest reveal isn't a reveal because everyone knew it already. Here's hoping they create a mystery or conspiracy to keep us guessing. LOST is on tonight and I'm not even going to explain.

Flash Forward is on Thursdays and I'm loving it even more post the revamp. Some people call it bad, but i call it fun with a dash of Steven Cho & Gabrielle Union to spice it up. And what other show has cameos like Timberland and Seth McFarlane and makes absolutely no mention of it, treating them like nobodies. Not to mention the subplots of the individual characters are all awesome.

FRINGE arguably my favorite out of the four, despite our uneven relationship. You see I like the stand alone episodes and the fact that I don't need to know everything to stay hooked but some of the monster of the week episodes have literally put me to sleep, others keep me glued to the end of my seat, whereas the mythology and overeaching arcs are literally the best television has to offer. They handle these plots much better than LOST in my opinion. It's like they give us EVERYTHING but never acknowledge it, so instead of freaking out about not knowing, we frea out over the characters not knowing and I feel like thats almost a much more fun way to watch these kidn of shows. It leaves room to speculate but it doesn't make you into a raving loon the way LOST does. Anyway, Fringe is back tonight and it's an episode that we've been waiting for since season one. I don't want to spoil it, so just watch it. You'll be hooked.

So with these shows being on/back what am I supposed to do ? I already need to clear 90% of the office & community off my DVR to make room for all this goodness. I literally don't have a free night this week and I guess I'm just complaining for no reason. I'm still going to make time for these shows and the sun will still blind people stupid enough to look directly into it's surface. Life will go on.

GODZILLA ! GOJIRA ! GO LIZARD!!

In "celebration" of the Godzilla reboot:

America is making another Godzilla movie. I didn't see the first one. I wanted to, but after the reviews and the SLURPEE cups I decided to pass. I still have never witnessed the supposed train wreck, but the movie must have done well because it got a an animated series (below)...which i did see and wasn't impressed by. Here's hoping they make a more faithful Godzilla movie by having it happen in, oh I don't know, JAPAN !? Have some Americans go to Japan to combat the lizard if you need to but I'd rather see Godzilla do what he does best and fight the Japanese with their superior technology and lack of Mathew Broderick. Also please design Godzilla to look like Godzilla. I know he's a dinosaur or dragon or something, make sure he looks like the lizard thing we know and not a Jurassic park reject.

The American animated series:

Yesterday....

Yesterday EVERY TIME I went to youtube to search for content for you guys this is the first thing I had to see:





EVERY SINGLE TIME !... Sometimes the computer would load weird and I'd get this:

Thanks youtube. Thanks for creating my night mares.

80's Song Stuck In My Head: Cool It Now

This is a song from the 80's by New Edition, it's called Cool It Now. For years I've been singing "Cool It Down"... "Cool it down" has been in my head for the last month since I heard it at an 80's party. I refuse to call this song by it's proper name, mostly due to pride. Enjoy the song for the next month because I guarantee you won't be able to get it out of your head. You'll be taking a pee, and you'll start sing the hook. You'll be driving to work and the melody will go through your head.. and I won't even tell you what happens when you make love to your husband/wife. (Mostly because I have no idea.) ... Oh and the video is funny because the hair sucks and lil Bobby Brown is gonna be a crack head. Ha. Ha.

Another Marmaduke Trailer... Not As Crappy As Expected

There's a new Marmaduke Trailer... It actually looks funny but it's also nothing like Marmaduke the comic strip, and perhaps thats a good thing. Just stop calling him "the duke", cut the scenes with him surfing (Scooby Doo beat you to it) and we might have something some what watchable.

A New way To Abuse Your Baby...

Luke Crib Walker ? Shoot yourself.



50 bucks to anyone that burns down, Pacifier Playhouse.


This one isn't that bad, but it also helped they didn't try to be funny.

Aye My Ninja !

Ninja Turtles + Hip Hop +MS Paint= Pretty funny

Usually I hate these videos but this one is actually pretty hilarious. I usually just hate the animation, lame voices and horrible jokes but this one just worked for some reason. I guess TMNT can make even horrible MS Paint animation cartoons awesome. Let the rap battle begin, my ninjas !

PEPPER

By now, I KNOW everyone has heard the song Chocolate Rain. If you haven't go youtube it. It's literally teh most watched video on the internet. The song was written and performed by a guy named Tay. At the height of Chocolate Rain's popularity, Tay got a call by Dr. Pepper who asked him to sell out. Being a genius who decided to do so and make his horrible, but entertaining song into a jingle for Cherry Dr. Pepper. The results are sad (like the 40 year old random rapper they hired) but almost as entertaining as the original.

Confusing Avatar Video....

Somethings don't need a funny caption, just a translator. From what I gather though, these two guys dream of being Navi's (the blue creatures from Avatar), they've take their gender confused friend with them, they like doing things like freaking women out and making me literally pee my pants in fear...and confusion.. and then they want to dance? Is it safe to save Navi-fever has spread too far ?

Can anyone translate the gist of what the heck is happening here ? Maybe this all makes sense and my ignorance is just enhanced by my inability to speak multiple languages... nah! Well thats not entirely true, I speak Ebonics ! (Which as we speak is making perfectly intelligent people sound like idiots at an increasing rate per mizzle, I mean, minute. Oopsie.)

Wolverine & the Manicure

You know, technically he can't get those manicured since they are harder than a diamond. I'm just sayin.. it's animantium. Duh. Still pretty awesome none the less. Oh and that's not Hugh Jackman at all.

Guys... It must be a.....Hot Tub Time Machine....

I lost my taste for raunchy comedies years ago. At one one point my two favorite movies were Road Trip and American Pie 2, in that order. I believe part of me really wanted to live that life because mine was so boring. I spent 90% of my teenage years on the internet...it kept me out of trouble but it also gave me an appetite for excitement which I vicariously lived out by watching those kind of movies. Even recently I saw The hangover due to all the buzz and I just wasn't impressed. I dunno, I guess when college hit and I finally got a life raunchy, curse laden, sex romps no longer excited me, until now. Hot Tub Time Machine gets a pass for 3 reasons:

The guy that plays Daryl from the Office. I don't know his name, I don't care enough to look it up, he's ALWAYS funny and If I saw Dragon Wars in the theaters because of him, I have to see this.


It's not being marketed as a sex romp movie, but rather a quirky, nonsensical, nerd dream come to life movie. Like these guys get to retcon their lives and the goal isn't to JUST sleep with chicks and party... the goal is to take advantage of the years they wasted.


It features Time Travel. For as long as I can remember Time Travel has fascinated me and even if this movie makes no stab at realistically tackling the topic, like , say.. Primer, the concept of how the guys will change their lives in the present after visiting the future is enough to peak my interest. Like really, how would Daryl sleeping with all the golden girls and Angela Lansberry effect him in the 2 thousands ? ...Only one way to find out!

AQUAMAN JUST GOT AWESOME

Aquaman is much better when he acknowledges how limited his powers are when there's no water around and has just resigned himself to being hilarious and lazy.

Batman & Spaceghost Behind the Scenes

When I was a kid my mom used to tell me to "Get high, Fool." when ever I started talking crazy to her as most teenagers do when their parents are overprotective. After viewing this video I have to assume that while i didn't take my mothers advice, these two guys must have. Perhaps they ran into her while shopping and bumped her cart and my mom said her catch phrase and they, were like "heeeey, that's a good idea." And the rest is history. "

A New SEASON 6 LOST THEORY: WITH PROOF! JACOB IS A LIAR!

"And it's really possible that Smokey is telling the truth and Jacob is lying"
-EW

You know that makes sense, since Jacob totally LIED to Richard Alpert this week. When ?... RIGHT HERE!

He said he can't give Richard his wife back... but we all know thats not true because Jacob promised Dogen that his sun could be brought back to life after his death. Yes the stipulation was that he'd never see him again (which he did anyway in the side ways verse) but that doesn't matter the fact is that HE COULD OF DONE IT. Why didn't he offer Alpert the same offer he did Dogen, saying Your wife can be brought back but you'll never see her again ? - instead he LIED and said "I can't do that." Why did he straight up lie to Alpert ? BECAUSE Jacob is a liar and he's just as manipulative as the Man In Black. He knew that Richard wouldn't have excepted the deal to work for him if he revived his wifeor if she was alive some where, perhaps he discovered this after the Smoke monster scanned him...because JACK from Jay and jack is RIGHT and Jacob/ the Smoke Monster are two side sof the same coin !... (THE SAME PERSON!)

Remember the Street Fighter II Turbo Purple Tape ?

When I was a kid Street Fighter II was THE game to play. I used to spend hours pissed of in my room trying to beat M. Bison. I remember once, I paused the game after playing literally ALL day to try to beat the game without being hit, because someone lied to me and told me if you beat the game that way you'd get to play as all the bosses, anyway I paused the game to eat dinner just as I reached Bison and my dad made me go eat dinner and when I came back the game wouldn't unpause. I was so pissed I threw a HUGE tantrum and ranted about how it was my dads fault and how he ruined my day and all this crap. My dad decided if I was going to act that way he'd just take the game away. I pleaded and played it again anyway, never again to attempt to play as the bosses.. but that didn't stop me from obsessing over the franchise to the point of coming across a purple promo tape that was like 7 minutes long that talked about how Street Fighter was all the rage in Japanese arcades, even showing the video under this post of the live action ads.. which were MUCH cooler than the live action movie , in retrospect. i say retrospect because as a kid I actually liked the movie. I know it's been universally lambasted but you couldn't tell me that at 12 years old and expect me to give a flying squirl fart. I bought every version of the game I could. I was a hardcore Nintendo fanboy so when Capcom stopped supporting those systems, is when I stopped playing Street Fighter.

I recently got my hands on the latest Street Fighter and frankly I was underwhelmed. It wasn't any where near as fun and button mashing was near impossible with the Xbox 360 controller. There wasn't even an option to turn the speed all the way up, like in Turbo and fight as fast as you can. Heck, I had even forgotten about the car mini game being removed, but when I remembered I was pretty annoyed. Due to this, and Capcom retconning some of my issues with the game I'm considering getting Super... I'm just scared I'll get all hyped, play and find out the game still bores me.

I had 2 very long meetings at work today so it's been tough to update. Please forgive me. Please. Pleeeeease ! It's not like it matters anyway.. ugh. Enjoy this Simposns/DBZ mash upor else I'll send Miltrunks to your home to kind of intimidate you with his purple hair. Yeah, sorry, today sucks.

I think I Know Why This Kid Has Issue getting Dates...

Strike one: You Made a Parody Video of Tik Tok by Keisha
Strike two: You put it on the internet for everyone to see, publicly.
Strike three: You used auto tune. It'd be funnier if you just sang off key.
Strike four: You sniffed her draws, playa ? Your not even Japanese.

I give the kid crap, but truthfully I've done worse and you have to give him points for self deprecating , a skill that I wasn't able to perfect until I got to college. However I can smell a fellow desperate nerd when I see one and I'm willing to bet this video is dedicated to his real nerd crush and sad to say he won't be able to bag until he graduates from college, and by then she'll be pregnant and he'll find out most of the people that picked on or rejected him are all working at run down convenience stores, baby clothes stores in the mall or the local equivalent of the South's Piggly Wiggly... this acknowledgment of sudden superiority and role reversal will cause him to lose interest in this girl. He will meet a woman he can respect for her mind and all will be right within the nerdiverse. *sigh* Am I projecting ? -Sorry...

ROLLED UP MAGAZINE SELF DEFENSE

Self explanatory my people.

Kate Beaton: Claire's Nemesis

I had this retweeted to me on Twitter. I laughed pretty hard, so I had to share it. It barely counts as spoiler material. You won't get it though unless you've seen up to at least season 2 of LOST. So if you didn't laugh I have no pitty for you.

LOST Season 6: Richard Alpert's Episode Rant, Review & Questions

Everyone seemed to love this weeks episode LOST, but frankly I was more entertained by last weeks Sawyer centric episode. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great and gave us a lot of answers and told us the backstory of a character we've wondered about for ages but I personally just enjoyed last weeks episode more. It felt more fun and nothing like a telenova. If I had to rate the episode I'd give it 5 out of 5, so don't think I'm bashing it, I'm just not one of those peoples that watches the show because I want lose ends tied up, I watch it because it's engaging and fun. This new episode was really just a pure mythos episode, which is fine but it's never going to hold a candle to the episodes that engross everything that make LOST, LOST.

The episode for me also raised a few more questions in my mind... Namely, since Jacob is dead and someone, one of the 6 remain candidates, will have to replace him, it means one of our LOSTies will have to remain on the island at the end of the story. It means they will have to stay in order to protect the world from the evil spreading. Do you think whom ever that is will play the same game as Jacob was with the Man in Black and bring people to the island to prove a point ? Like let's say LOST wraps up and the M.I.B. is stopped from leaving the island, whats to stop him from just trying again ? I mean who ever takes over from Jacob really won't know anything and M.I.B. will have the advantage...Another thing, why is Jacob playing this stupid game with M.I.B ? He's sacrificing other people's lives just to make a point. A argument he seemingly has already lost several times at the expensive of random people's lives that eh clearly doesn't care about. If Jacob is good, why would he do this ?..In fact if his JOB is to stop M.I.B. from leaving, why bring people to the island at all ? It's pretty clear that M.I.B. needs a third party in order to kill Jacob/the protector, so why not just fix that by not inviting any third parties to the island at all. Yeah it's boring but it's also effective.

And another thing... WHAT IS JACOB ? He's not God, we've established that. He can't bring people, like Richard's wife back to life, but he can make you live forever, he can steal your body and remove your humanity(?), he can heal the sick (with the water), he can travel through time and space, he knows the future, and has a host of other super natural abilities. If he's not God, what the is he ? And why can he do all this other crazy stuff but he can't bring back Izabella... huh ? My guess is he's a displaced Egyptian God, namely Osiris, who could grant the gift of eternal life.

Another perplexing question is Why did Jacob do that to M.I.B. ? Like why is he a smoke monster with the ability to see into your brain and project images/ shapeshift..as wella s claim people and make them zombies or "dark". One can assume Jacob did this to him since he uttered the line about humanity, Jacob's betrayl and his body being taken, and having been an ordinary man once... But why would Jacob do this to him ? Why would Jacob make somone into a literal monster and give him powers that make him almost invincible, able to corrupt and ultimately deadly ? -Maybe he offered M.I.B. a job like he did Richard, but gave him the powers and wound up getting more than he bargined for and Jacob was unable to reverse the gift he gave ? But why would this lead to M.I.B. wanting to test the worlds corruptability ? ...You'd think it would just lead to him wanting revenge on Jacob and not playing some game where they see how evil humanity is.

And how does this all tie into Walt, Desmond, and Aaron each being special ? How does this conflict reach into each of these peoples lives when none of them are seemingly even candidates. It would of made sense if they were all candidates and were predestined to protect the island but now it all seems like one big red harring to me. Especially now that Hurley was randomly given the ability to see dead people, which now makes him special...unless we can jsut attribute the ability to Jacob, which doesn't explain Walt since his powers manifested pre-island life... unless jacob came to him as a baby and we haven't seen it yet.

UGH. Yes I am obsessed with Walt. Anyway. Those are my theories/Questions and I'm sticking to them. Let's hope they address this stuff because while i'm not one to obsess over plot holes, I also hate wild goose chases.

So this might be the Worst Thing EVER.

DON'T LOOK IN IT'S EYES !! ARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!

Captain Paycheck ?

...Slow news day ?


Thanks to Prince Talvin for the tip..I think.

My Bank Account Has Made A Millionare, Thousands of Years Later

What's this ? Just an unofficial link to an official Futurama on Comedy Central video ? Yeah, nothing to see here. Just keep it moving Sampson. Ignore the foreign words. IGNORE THEM!

I used to love Futurama and then I saw the last 2 "movies" and my appetite for the show lessened. I know that those episodes were designed to be split up into episodes later but something about them just felt forced. However, I'm hoping the writers learned from their mistakes and I'm keeeping an open mind long enough to watch the first season of the show on Comedy Central to see if it is able to reclaim it's former glory. I held out hope for The Office this season and with last weeks episode it finally paid off, so Futurama will get the same courtesy.

Weird Al Bio Pic..... ! ? !

The only bad thing is this isn't real....I was really really excited until I watched it. I mean it's funny as old people in thongs, but it's just disappointing that no one has made this yet. Weird Al is a literal legend and if Howard Stern can get a bio pic, and Dewey Cox can get a fake one, Weird Al needs to have a semi-realish fake bio picky thing. I mean, the guy made EAT IT.... If Kanye were here he'd interrupt me to tell me that my sentence is okay but his praise of Eat it as one of the greatests songs and videos of all time, is the the greatest of all time ! What ?.. Oh. Sorry, no more trying to be funny.

AWESOME LOST FAN BAND: THE OTHERS BAH BAH BAH

I like to make it a habit to listen to every single LOST podcast that doesn't suck after each episode of LOST that airs. It makes me feel a part of a community and helps me formulate theories. My absolute favorite one is The Transmission. Recently The Transmission started featuring a Lost fan band called The Others and trust me when I say they are the literal, BEST fan band in existence. Now I may not know of any other fan bands, but I do know a lot about existing, so that makes me certified to make that statement. Anyway above is one of the tracks, but be warned, what they do is summarize every episode of LOST into a song so if you haven't seen they episode it's a spoiler.

POWER RANGERS LIVE!

I must have been under a freaking rock because I loved Power Rangers..heck I would still be watching the show if it wasn't on sabbatical. I even have been recording the remastered episodes on ABC with plans to watch them all in one giant marathon with a loved one. With that much love, I don't know how I missed out on the existence of Power Rangers LIVE! But I shall miss out no more.. thanks to Youtube and a fellow nerd Marsha .L as she instructed me to call her, informing me of the video. I hope it's as good/bad as The Coming Out of Our Shells Tour.... But really what can be better than a bedazzled Turtle with freckles ?

Jason Preistley Doesn't REALLY Care if You shoot Yourself...

While this is not my youtube upload I do own this video. I purchased it along with a super random Kool-Aid promotional video at a thrift store. There's nothing special about it accept that a features Jason Preistley because he was court ordered to appear. It's funny to me how in all these videos the children have to be morons, as if to say only a moron would play with a loaded gun....which isn't technically true. Why can't they instead show real situations that don't involve giant talking eagles or celebrities who are forced to be there ?

Step it up and make something that feels REAL. I'm talking making a Reqrium for a Dream of Anti-Gun advocacy. A film which by the way I cannot watch in it's entirety because I get physically ill and start suffering from depression at it's very mention. Now I'm not calling for the Anti-Gun people to show puddles of blood and Timmy blowing his face off but I'm saying show the real life concequences of irresponsible behavior. It may not be pretty but it's going to do a lot more than Eddie the Creepy Stank Eagle. NONE OF THOSE ANTI- VIDEOS WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE FREAKING JOKES ! I don't know one person that owes their sobreity to that Anti-Drug cartoon that featured all those cartoon stars, but I know lots of people that swear Reqrium for a Dream scared them straight enough never to try hard drugs or try out for gameshows.

NERD AWARDS: The Light Saber Kid

If you thought Pokemon cosplay was bad, you really don't know how far the depths of nerdom can go. At least most Pokemon nerds cover their faces, Star Wars nerds on the other hand are VERY public. They even train their children from an early age to poke adults in the crotch with lightsabers, as seen above. They have absolutely no shame and frankly they are more awesome for it, but still embarassing at the same time. Like i totally admire the guy in the green for going all out in these park battles but he still looks like a giant dork that I'd pretend not to know when women are around. Who am I kidding, I proly wouldn't want to talk to those girls if they didn't find my skills with the lightsaber impressive.

Toy Toshing

We've all done it. We all probably still do it. It's perfectly normal and you don't need to be ashamed. What is this habit i speak of ? -Toy Toshing. If you've never heard the phrase, allow me t explain since I'm the one who made it up.

Every time I'm in a toy store or toy section, I have to squeeze any toy that has that has a "Try Me" sticker on it. Usually with the action figures, all you get is some gun sounds and generic action hero phrases but if your brave like me you don't mind sliding over to the ages 1 -4 plush toy section and pressing the toys that sing really long songs and then walking away. The even more fun thing to do is to press a bunch of them out of sequence so they sing out of order, and then walk away. Even more fun than that is to have a friend come with you and try to press or squeeze as many of the toys that sing the same song, at the same time. Often you get chorus of toys singing an annoying song for upwards of 2 minutes. If you time it just right you can start it right before a new mother rounds the corner and her baby will cry.

Yesss.. Take that new mothers ! Our eternal rivalry blazes on ! MWAHAHAHAHAHA !

Example of An Excellent Toy Chorus line:

2 Words: DAKOTA FANNING

This was on Attack of the Show but since no one really watches that show anymore because it's become all about sex and frat boy humor as opposed to nerd worthy video game reviews, technology demos and cool stuff that doesn't pander the audience TRL left behind... After all that your question may be why am I using a clip that was shown on that travesty of a show ? It's actually funny and even like that happens so rarely, I had to just cast my justified prejudice aside. Happy Friday ! ... Random thought, I miss when Conan O' Brien used to interview President Bush and President Clinton, but it was really them just digital pics with the lips cut out. Told you it was random.

UPDATE: Skeletor has REALLY let himself go....

See what happens when you spend YEARS trying to defeat a mortal enemy with the tired old tricks that never work, but instead of developing new tactics you just keep doing that same stuff that repeatedly failed in the first place.? You get fat and washed up. You resort to stealing commercials, and pushing comic books..meanwhile your mortal enemy is selling fine imported Whiskey and living the high life in Castle Grey Skull. Ugh.. Just go start a reality show with Mum-Rah and call it The Bones of Love, the kids will love it!

Update: Upon some research I've found that this isn't the only video of unemployed Skeletor... There are a lot of them each featuring Skeletor trying to figure out a new career... Below you will find another video and the creators youtube link !

LOST Season 6: Richard Alpert's Episode Promotional Art Is Confusingly Scary & Drawn By Hurly

1. Hurly didn't really draw this, it's just the way I imagine he'd draw.
2. If you hate spoilers this isn't a spoiler, it barely makes sense.
3. Yes I dried to find messages in all these and found nothing.
4. I added clever commentary to each picture because I'm cool/bored.

I'd call this a spoiler alert post but it really doesn't tell you anything. If your watching any season of LOST, you already know the show has it's moments of weirdness. You also know that Locke has knives and I'm not explaining anything more than that. I'm interested to know what any of this has to do with Richard Alpert since this is supposed to be all about him... hmmm.. time to ponder.

Someone forgot to pack they draws... naaaasty.


OMG ! Mr. FREEZE is coming to the island ? WITH MIND CONTROL POWERZ!?!



Uhh.. Locke, the cigar goes in your mouth... HELLO ?!?

Some People Don't Know Link'S Claim to Shame

Most nerds know about the CDi Zelda and Link games, but many less intense video games ners simply have never heard of them. I found this out while discussing the Legend of Zelda series with a friend. He seemed to have his stuff down until I mentioned the CDi games. He was like "What ?.. What are you talking about ?" and then I showed him what I am showing you now... Enjoy (if thats even possible) !

SKIFREE for iPhone Jerks

I don't have an iPhone and odds are I never will until the phone goes to ther service providers in the US other than AT&T, but I have to admit I got really excited about the news that SKIFREE is now available for FREE on the iPhone.

What's SKIFREE ? I think you already know..if your about 25 or older and has a Windows PC that had those free games on it. It was a Ski game where you had to miss the trees and rocks. The thing that made it hard is the trees and rocks came at you in patterns that you had to finess through. Once you did that, a freaking monster would come eat you and i never could get away from him !

I don't remember making it very far, ever but I remember it being a blast. So due to this if you have an iPhone I hate you... or I'd like to be really good friends with you for a few hours, just along to borrow your phone and remember that I suck at this game.

Rorschach and Deadpool are COPPING OUT

Rorschach and Deadpool in a Buddy Cop drama ? Uh Oh ! Honestly this concept is almost genius. I never really thought of putting these two together, but the pairing is just great. Sometimes while watching this I kept wish Rorshach was Batman. Sometimes while watching most things i wish people were replaced with Batman, it would make the biggest Loser and figure skating instantlt45% more entertaining.

LESSON LEARNED...

STAY AWAY FROM KANYE WEST'S NEW BLOG WHILE AT WORK.

I don't think I'm in trouble or anything and I'm sure they'd let me explain, and I know one of the big dogs in I.T. but still, it's not cool of you Kanye to post like 6 pictures of naked girls in a row.

It's almost funny... I'm just scrolling, reading stuff and then I get to a toppless chick, so I scroll down quickly to get away from it and there's another one, and scroll down again and there's a vag shot, and I finally just close browser as I start to panic, like come on dude, my boss sits RIGHT next to me and I'm not even trying to look at all that.

I know he posts stuff like that sometimes but the first page was clean, I thought maybe he turned over a new leaf. NOPE. I was wrong! I'll forgive Kanye though if he hurries up and finishes the new album or give us a mixtape or a single or something. Summer is coming, I need something play while I drive, dance, workout, ride my bike, reflect in thought and kick it with my peoples.

So Indian Spider-M-Woman & Indian Super-Man fly into a Bar...

Yeah... I'm not sure whats happening here since I only speak English. I don't get why the woman is dressed as Spider-Man without a mask and I don't know what this is about. I do know it's part of a Bollywood movie, "Dariya Dil" and I'm not sure what context it could be in, It just feels some what bizarre to an outsider> Me. And I could use a translator. Although something tells me it still wouldn't make any sense...

CURRY FROM YO FINGAS !

Oh my gosh, this is so awesome. That lady is stupid, instead of screaming she should be asking to be his side kick.

You see kids, for every super hero you meet you also meet the opportunity to be endowed with gadgets or super powers. You never want to pass that up by screaming when the hero arrives in your kitchen and starts shooting noodles(?) at your cups. I know it's alarming at first, but be calm and just ask the hero for an application.

Zangeif channels donkey Kong ?

Doesn't he look like DK ? Is it just me ? No? Shut up. :-)

I admit I was piiiiiiiiised when I found out Capcom was releasing SUPER Street Fighter 4, a few months after I had just purchased the original. I didn't pay full price, I got it from Gamefly, but it was still a bit of rip considering the first game just came out, however the more I read and see about it (Like this AWESOME video posted above) the more I'm being convinced it's totally worth it... Although this will mean it's an 80 dollar game for me between buying both versions and the old one not being worth anything on the secondary market. I still think capcom should have made this DLC, but I think they are trying to fight that idea by cramming so much new stuff into the upgrade to justify charging 40 bucks for it. I dunno, I think I'm gonna wait a while before picking this up just to spite Capcom. Yeah take that ! Your not getting my money for at least two weeks suckas ! :-)

LOST SEASS-MMMM.. Cake ?!?

As a LOST fan, It's hard not to watch this and not feel like there's a hidden message in it. I've already started reading the Wikipedia page on the origins of cake. However I'm willing to bet it's an advertisement for something for another country or something, since the actors are using their real names.

LEGO Batman and LEGO Darth Vader Walk into a Bar...

Who knew Batman, Darth Vader and Rachael from friends could all work so well together ? I sure as heck didn't! In this LEGO Batman/Star Wars story..uhh.. well, it's actually hard to explain, read the summary:

Darth Vader wakes up one morning with his two girlfriends and a Clone tells him that the Peasants are Revolting against him, led by Gotham's hero; Batman. Batman arrives with a bunch of headbangers...

Yup.

SPOILER ALERT: LOST SEASON 6 RANT #42 THE STUPID FANS (ONLY SPOILERS IF YOUR NOT WTACHING)

Here's my issue with the show this season: The fans that keep saying the Flash Sideways aren't adding up.

Firstly I say to those fans, CRAM IT. Stop begging for answers and enjoy the show. Second I say PAY ATTENTION. If you don't notice the dejavu glances the characters have been giving each other stop watching the show now because you clearly have the observation skills of a starfish. If you don't notice things like LA-Jack forgetting his appendix being removed or the tiny cuts he has but seems perplexed by you just aren't the target audience for this show and you should go spend your time watching reruns of Friends. If you can't see that there's more to these stories than what meets the eye after seeing last weeks episode (Dr. Linus) or Sayid's episode where he finds Jin locked in a freezer at the end you are a moron. It's a s clear as day that the LA adventures are SUBTLETY at it's finest. I mean EFF! On the island Dogan talks about never getting to see his son again, but on the LA sideways we've already seen his son well and alive... Some things that comes to past in LA-X are being hinted at on island, that instantly makes the sideways convention important.

Open your EYES and pull the Dharma brand mayo from in between your ears ! The flash side ways are keeping this season from being 6 episodes long and providing us REAL LOST FANS, with even more to ponder. You think the people creating this show don't know what they are doing all of a sudden ? They've produced a spectacular show for almost 6 years.. why would they start effing up now ?

Personally I wish they wouldn't have announced this as the last season. If they had told us the week before the finale, oh yeah by the way this is the last season, it would have been one of the greatest ruses to ever happen in Television history, and how fitting that LOST be the show to pull it off. People wouldn't be so fracking THIRSTY for answers and might be able to clam down long enough to just shut up and enjoy the show. Okay maybe not shut up, because it's not LOST if everyone isn't talking but still you get my point.

These annoying muck rakers that keep saying.. OOOH I HATE THE FLASH SIDE WAYS, wouldn't be talking. These people viewer the flashes as a distraction from the answers as opposed to a supplement or an aide in keeping the show from getting stale in it's last days.

Thank you and Watch LOST Tonight on ABC.

GREAT GATSPY

BOOM. Lady Gaga has some competition......

POKEMANIA IS ALIVE IN ALL OF US (EXCEPT ME)

I used to be a HUGE Pokemon fan. I played it throughout elementary school and all 4 years of high school. I even played post college during my commute to and from work. As a kid I bought the cards but never read on how to play, so I basically collected the cards and made up on my own rules while playing alone. I won every time ! I've seen some of the movies, and by some I mean the first two because while the first one was awesome the second one put me to sleep. I decided to boycott them after that, but I still loved other things about the franchise. I faithfully watched most of the anime, but stopped, as a form of protest, when the voice cast was changed. I joined forums to trade my Pokemon online with other fans and alienated every girlfriend I ever had. I even got nick named "Pikachu" in high school because I used to play it in class instead of paying attention. A girlfriend I had at the time got nick named "Mrs. Pikachu", and she didn't like that, so she didn't stay my girlfriend very long.

One of my fondest memories was sitting on the steps at my house and playing Pokemon Red for HOURS while my dog slept next to me. I used to gloat about having all 151 Pokemon and knowing about the secret glitch that allowed you to duplicate any item you wanted. No one cared, except maybe my best friend, who also played but still wasn't as obsessed as I was. To demonstrate, I EVEN purchased for full price that awful Pokemon Battle Revolution game that came out for Wii. It sucked so much I took it back the next day, and got partial store credit. Sucks for a game you played once, but that's part of the struggle of being a true Pokemon fan, I told myself. After all that you'd think I'd never give it up, or in the least I'd have a good reason if I ever did. Allow me to segway into the next paragraph by saying neither of those statements is true today.

When I heard they were releasing and updating the second iteration of the series with the Heart Gold and Soul Silver versions, I wasn't excited at all. I'm the guy that went back and got the Leaf Green, Fire Red and Pokemon Yellow games, if anyone was gonna be excited about this, it was going to be me! But nope, I didn't even flinch, and thats how I knew my Pokemania had died. The Pokewalker didn't even encourage me...I was just very luke warm to the entire concept, as if to say "People still play that ?" ...That's Pokeblasphemy and frankly I don't care. By the time they release a brand new game I'll likely be married and too busy to capture and train those little pocket monsters for hours and hours each day... and thats it. Thats my reasoning... lame right ? Who cares ? I'm an adult now and my hair is falling out so who cares about Pikachu, Raichu or the pre-evolution plot holes that are Pichu. Maybe they'll make something that motivates me and revives the Pokemon trainer inside of me, like Pokemon Snap 2, or a full on 3D game on Wii, and maybe they won't.. I don't know and right now I don't care.

In remembrance of my once thriving Pokespirit and celebration of the new game release this week I bring you a ridiculous amount of Pokenerds far more obsessed than I was and too weird not to showcase. Furries fans, this is also for you...

POKEMON BATTTLE !!!

DESTROY AN X-BEEZY

Everyone knows about the red ring of death, the bane of every early adapter of Microsoft's Xbox 360's existence. Even if your system never broke, you were always paranoid it would, so you treated your Xbox 360 like royalty and sometimes it still broke. Some people through caution to the wind and had there systems modified, which voided the waranty and ensured Microsoft would not be fixing your system for free or giving you a year of free Xbox Live.

This occurence also ensured that people who couldn't get there 360's fixed would need something to do with them.. youtube being around made sure that these uses would be documented and they would be stupid. 99% of the videos on the internet of people destroying faulty 360's are of stupid white kids shooting them with guns and even stupider white kids sticking dynamite and fire crackers inside the system and blowing it to kingdomcome. All very entertaining but still dumb as tang coming out with a flavor other than orange. I looked for videos that were beyond the norm but wound up settling for these two:

Xbox 360 + Dy-no-mite! (Or something like it)



Xbox 360 in Microwave

One of The Weirdest Things I've Ever Seen Twice.

....You will need to watch today's final video TWICE.

Once with the sound down and again with the sound up.

You'll understand after you do it, maybe. There's a good chance you still won't get it but live a little. You only get chances like this once. Just a warning, this is some weird crap, really weird, and that means a lot considering I run this site.

LOST REDUCED

WARNING: The video below will humorously SPOIL the last 5 seasons of LOST for you.

Every season ABC makes one of those LOST recap shows that summarizes the entire show in like 8 or 10 minutes. While the above video does exactly that, it isn't the same as the other recap shows. You see my friends, this is actually entertaining and won't bore anyone like myself that has followed the show for the last 6 years faithfully. This was a stage show created for the UK network that airs lost Sky-1 by the Reduced Shakespere Company. It's pretty hilarious and makes you really wish ABC would do something like this, but have Jimmy Kimmel do it all as a one man show. Or maybe that's just me.

You can read more about the theater company and LOST Reduced Here.

SHREK 4 EVER DOESN'T REALLY MEAN 4 EVER..

New SHREK 4 EVER TRAILER

Shrek taught my 5 and 6 (at the time) year old nephews the word hell. It also reintroduced the world to Antonio Banderas. For those two acts it will always hold a place in my heart. The last movie was okay, so I didn't expect a lot to come out out of this but then I saw a poster that lables it as the FINAL CHAPTER ?!?

There's two ways to think of this. It's either rapper returement final, meaning they are blantantly lying to get more people in theaters OR this is LOST the last season final, where they really mean it and want to end the movie franchise now before it dips any lower in quality. It looks like to me they are going out with a bang, seeing as how Rumplestilskin, my favorite childhood villian, is the lead baddie this go round. You can see the poster below:

BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA IS BACK BABY !

NBA Jam is coming back in 2010.... AND IT LOOKS SWEEEET! Currently announced only for the Wii. I don't doubt it'll eventually end up on Xbox live or Playstation's version of that (I don't have a PS3, SORRY).. But for now expect to be gloated upon by any Wii owners that you might argue with on the internet...or real life, if you gets down like that.

Trolololol At Warp Speed (Sorry)

Good Morning ! Happy Monday! Some where the nerd armada is smiling on me. Thanks to the time change my biological clocks thinks it's 8:30am and won't let me sleep so I woke up and decided to start looking for videos for today and I managed to find the above with little effort. The above video is a Star Trek edit of the viral video Trolololol. For those that haven't seen the original I have posted it below. It's difficult to explain so I've given up on trying. I couldn't even make fun of it, it's not bad or good it's just trippy, which I think is the best way to start a Monday.

NOTHING CLEVER, JUST Iron man vs Bruce Lee and Mr Bean Vs Michael Jackson ?

As I've said before, anyone that dares does anything in stop motion has my respect, BUT Patrick Boivin can pretty much have anything he wants from me because these are freaking awesome ! He edited, scored and filmed all this himself. He really deserves an award of some sort.. Okay stop reading and go watch. You can find more videos at his Youtube channel.

Iron Man vs Bruce Lee


Mr. Bean vs Michael Jackson

PING PONG IS THE KING !

As usual Friday's on Mega Friday are lighter on writing and heavier on video content...BREAKING NEWS.. Topless Robot just provided a link and Rob now deserves a shoutout... Yes, for those of you that don't know I started this project as a means of cultivating a creative outlet since my current 9 to 5 doesn't allow me as such. I went to a lot of site runners and bloggers I admire and Rob was one of the most direct in terms of advice. I know you all know the site but for the sake of courtesy: Topless Robot

Enough of that enjoy this weeks random foreign video featuring PING PONG:

Lady Gaga & Beyonce Sing About Telephones Again

Love, hate or admire her, Lady Gaga is a certified nerd. She grew up being made fun of for being awkward and weird, and now that being awkward and weird is the new cool she's reveling in the spot light. She's literally the spokesperson for nerds redeemed. Being fellow redeemed nerd that went from being shat on to being respected I have a very large soft spot for Gaga. I love that she not only embraces the theatrics of music, but also the fun of it.

Still, I have to wonder, what the heck is up with her, Beyonce and songs about telephones ?
