Wow... I've been neglecting this place.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 11:08AM

For reasons that are just way too complicated to explain, and even if I did, you'd be compelled to pour lighter fluid on your face and burn it off. I've been unable to post updates here on my blog. But in the coming days, I'm going to rebrand, and reassess my place on the blogosphere.

I know you guys give a rats ass.

By the way, I really should have at least updated the page AFTER I finally saw Terminator Salvation. THAT MOVIE SUCKED BALLS.

Armageddon Shopping List

Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 02:01AM

So its 2012, Rapture, the flesh eating dead rise from the ground, a super flu leaves everyone shit-faced except for a handful of idiots that keep dreaming about Aunt Jemima, nuclear suckfest, angry rage infected Britains with bad teeth, or Al gore and Roland Emmerich have the last laugh and the planet's weather system is screwed forever — what are you gonna need on hand to make the road agents and zombies to run for cover? Me? Well I've made arrangements to send my family to planet "It's Way Better Here", so no worries for my loved ones, it'll only be me, the Lonesome Dove left here on Planet Zero to have all the fun — but I need to go shopping...

3D movies might be the way to go.

Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 12:38PM

Took the family to see Coraline today... family entertainment is hit or miss sometimes, sure movies like Ratatouille and Shrek can be great for everyone, but then you have to sit through shitty klunckers like Meet the Robinson's or Bee Movie. Coraline looked pretty good right away because I know it was produced by Tim Burton, and his interesting visual style and dark undertone makes family movies all the more interesting. One thing I wasn't too prepared for was the 3D aspect, and I have to say, I'm a total convert. I thought the glasses and the blurry screen would piss me off, instead, it really did enhance the experience. I'm totally psyched about the potential of the medium. Especially Dreamworks' Aliens vs. Monsters, and James Cameron's Avatar. Fuck those blue and red paper shades, I think 3D is here to stay.

My Xbox 360 Fists Me Again.

Friday, February 20, 2009 at 08:10AM

I popped in Fallout 3 after weeks of neglect, was just looking to download the patch so I can continue my current game quest (game kept freezing in the Jefferson Memorial during the Waters of Life quest) and low and behold, screen freezes, RED RINGS OF DEATH ensue. I have to ask Microsoft, What The Fuck? Honestly, I know all hardware has a failure rate, but when it becomes a certainty that your $350 game console will at some point encounter this fatal problem just under normal use, its inexcusable in my book... and not only that, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME it's happened to me. Luckily, I my repair was inside the 3 year warranty from the last repair. Should I just accept this as a consumer? It's total bullshit if you ask me.

I think I'm the last person on Earth using FreehandMX.

Friday, February 20, 2009 at 12:22AM

And you know what. That sucks. Because Macromedia Freehand (Well now Adobe Freehand? -- so weird) is a do everything you pretty much need it do do but maybe not perfect but still very good overall and superior in many different ways than Adobe Illustrator (Phoey) -- although I must say that Illustrator is a great program — if I can ever figure out how to select the item I actually want after "Ungrouping" endlessly with "Command U", Illustrator is just a cumbersome f**king program... for me anyway. Now I know Adobe aquired FreehandMX from Macromedia when they aquired well... Macromedia. Look I'm not an expert on the subject of mergers and aquisitions, but I can tell you though is that event signaled the end of a great program in Freehand. Sure it's a couple years now, but its starting to come to a head. I'm gonna have to bite the pillow and learn Illustrator. Even though Freehand I always felt was more comfortable to manipulate — I know some of the pen tools were a little clunky and unprecise, Freehand allowed a lot of...freedom. You could set stylesheets to text attributes — fuck you could design and print a book! With pages that had different sizes. Never understood how Illustartor could now never have multiple pages, so weird! Blah-eh!

But I gotta realize that as a designer, the tools need to be updated, the trend has to evole... as I. F**k!

Jack Bauer is the messenger of death and carnage and needs to be enshrined in the Serial Killer Hall of Fame.

Monday, February 2, 2009 at 08:53PM

It's Monday, and it's time for some 24. I absolutely love 24. Love it. No bones about it. That show is a pure guilty pleasure. I don't care how stupid the plot-lines get, how redundant the story devices are, how flimsy the supporting cast, I watch because of Jack Bauer. Bauer is the symbolism of what American justice should be. Pure Death. Death to terrorism. Death to corruption. Death to the opposition of a free society. Death to incompetent government jerkoffs. Death to Chloe. Seriously, I can watch Jack Bauer kill, maim, torture, spittle people all day asking "WHERE IS THE DETONATOR? — DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS BUT I WILL IF I HAVE TO AND YOU KNOW IT!"

Famous last words by BJ Penn: "If you tap to strikes, you're a little bitch."

Monday, February 2, 2009 at 09:39AM

So if you don't come out for the 5th and final round, what does that make you? That's what I'd like to ask B.J Penn. In all fairness, Penn learned a hard lesson. 1) Try not to belittle a great fighter. And yes, Georges Rush St. Pierre should be considered a great fighter. 2) Stay at 155lb.

"I know when I walk in there to fight Georges, there’s just gonna be one thing that’s constantly going through my head. To the death. We’re gonna go to the death. I’m not gonna stop. I’m willing to die. I’m gonna go, serious Georges, I’m gonna go to the death, and I’m gonna try to kill you, and I’m not joking about this." ~ B.J. Penn

IGN: "Multiplayer in a word... Awesome."

Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 01:57PM

What can I say, I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but in the next few weeks, I'm thinking this game is gonna rock the video game world. I'm in love with the look and art direction of the game, it's everything in a sci-fi shooter I look for, minus weird alien creatures. It future military gun porn at it's finest. I'm please to hear reports that the multiplayer is the part that the reviewers are raving about. A FPS with poor multiplayer is not even worth two minutes of play time, multiplayer with friends smashing and spawn killing noobs is where the fun is to be had. 32 players, with bots and a player class/level system, sounds awesome, sign me up I'm there.

NFL announces that the Super Bowl is going to be played on Saturday instead of Sunday, and they're calling it UFC 94.

Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 11:51PM

Super Bowl XLIII! Screw the Cards and the Steelers, that looks like a yawner if you ask me — the real action this weekend is going down in Las Vegas, Nevada baby, UFC 94. Who wants to see BJ Penn get his ass kicked? This guy. Who wants to see Georges St. Pierre bloodied and battered? This guy.

Folks I'm on the fence here. I really can't tell you who I'll be cheering for. Its kinda like UFC 92 where Forest Griffin and Rashad Evans squared off, I really liked both fighters, but I called that one when I said that Rashad's athleticism was gonna win it. This one between Penn and St. Pierre, is not too clear in my eyes. On one had you got Penn, who's a master jiu-jitsu artist, and his overall standup is stellar and easily under-estimated.
