Kanon's finally patched!

i've been inactive because of stuff in real life and because i've been using Facebook. here's a small rundown of stuff thats been going on:
-Received my preorder of Blazblue in its limited edition glory last week. Great fighter. One hell of a soundtrack. Mains (in order): Litchi, Tao, Nu/V-13
-Saw Star Trek. Don't let the fanboys turn you off. This is (american) science fiction at its best.
-Got a phone. LG Chocolate 3. False advertising, though. For a black phone, it sure is pretty dark blu-ish. Figures.
-Completed the classroom portion of Driver's Ed. Absolutely nothing but videos used as scare tactics. The test was a test on common sense that even those without common sense could pass yet... some people actually didn't pass.
-Went behind the wheel today with an instructor. Good stuff.
-Getting into ALI PROJECT.
-Got myself a new red controller for my 360. Bought a black controller and the two Rainbow Six Vegas games used online for a good price which will arrive on friday. I already beat the second Vegas game, but considering how shooters are today, it's a great change of pace and worth playing twice.
-Bought the Counter-Strike collection off Steam. Also got Dark Messiah of Might And Magic off Steam.
-Headphones broke. Bought the same headphones again off the internet. It lasted a full 5 years before it bit the dust.
-Took a trip to South Dakota and had some of the best fried chicken, chicken tempura, and potatoes i've ever had.
-Some ****wad is making accounts on Gamespot and sending PMs advertising for Gamingbolt.com. Sounds JUST LIKE GAMESPOT. And I really like how they say that they're "the biggest source" for "video game news, previews, reviews, community features and more!". Absolutely pathetic.

I saw this trailer at the theaters and holy **** does it look awesome. I mean, it's a WESTERN CG animated film for MATURE audiences. It's about time! Not to mention that it has Elijah Wood. Really. This movie looks so badass and I can't wait to see it. To top it off, it has Welcome Home by Coheed And Cambria in the trailer.

Calculating BS...

What's its BS level?
OVER 9000!!!
THIS IS THE CANCER THAT IS KILLING HOLLYWOOD.
Lisianthus doesn't approve

Bears are going extinct and all you people can do is watch a stupid parady movie

Kung Lao thinks this looks like GARBAGE

Then Arcueid's liek WTF

Good god. Seriously....

TAKE IT ALL. IF ITS PANCAKES YOU WANT JUST TAKE THEM ALL

I can has good comedy movie? NO **** YOU

BULL*** DOES NOT COMPUTE. TOO. SMART. TO. LIKE. PARODY. MOVIE.

Oh, look! A distraction!

I have a dream... that people from all countries, people of all skin, race, hair color, and sexual orientation can all unite under one banner and purge this load of anus from Hollywood.

LONG LIVE THE ONION. ALL HAIL CEILING CAT.
And LEAVE THE MODERATORS ALONE!


AND LEAVE REGULAR PEOPLE ALONE! WE'RE A HUMAN! WE DONT WANT YOUR ANAL COMEDY MOVIES ANYMORE! EVEN BRITNEY SPEARS IS STARTING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF PURPOSE FOR EXISTANCE!

Oh, and Obama had a fro

But THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW. We have millions of dollars going towards an awful movie... WHERE IS LONGCAT WHEN YOU NEED HIM? Oh, wait.

I'm hungry for some serious justice... I mean, seriously. I'm hungry for a solution to stop ****ty parody movies... I'm also hungry for soem Pizza Hut. I liek pizza hut

But BACK ON TOPIC. WE NEED TO RAISE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE CAPABLE OF FIGHTING AGAINST THESE MOVIES. YOU HAVE MY SWORD. AND MY BOW. AND MY AXE! AND SHANA

Quires Taco Bell? NO! No quiero taco bell. Quiero menos peliculas de bull****!
We have liftoff... PROCEED TO EAT CANDY

-----------------------------------------------------
Gotta calm down...
Anyways, it appears that another horrible parody movie is on its way. If I could regenerate parts of my body, I would be ripping out a very vital external organ before I ever submit myself to watching another inhumanity to man.
But there's actually some hope on this one. It's not directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. However, the writers have connections to the first Scary Movie, which was partially acceptable despite being mostly mediocre. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but the absence of those two directors-those two ****faces that are a disgrace to cinema-already make Dance Flick have a chance.
Just to be safe, I recommend throwing your money towards something good. You know that Hershey bar at the local Super America? That's a nice place to start.

Now THAT... is some serious win. If it's real.
In other news, not much is going on. The only noteworthy thing would be that I started watching Kara no Kyoukai, a series set in a parallel universe of Tsukihime (according to wiki). It's a series of seven movies each about an hour long. It's great so far and it does share a few things with Tsukihime. The soundtrack is amazing and overall it's something that pretty much anyone with a taste for anything good should watch. Only 4 of the 7 movies have been subbed and the seventh one should be premiering in Japanese theaters this year.
Oh, and I bought Shadowrun for $10 and a used copy of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for $30. Still looking for the first (or seventh) FE game and if only my sister's DS didn't break...

My computer was recently infected with the Virtumonde/Vundo trojan. As a result, I got some bull called "Sysnotifier.exe". You guys have no idea how absolutely ANAL this piece of anus is.
What it does is come up with fake Windows error messages that creep you out. When a popup window in Windows Explorer says "Explorer.exe has stopped working" or "Civsc.exe has performed an illegal operation", you will crap bricks.
Then there's a little fake icon in the system tray area that keeps popping up ridiculous messages like "Antivirus software may not be installed", "System appears to hang" (unprofessional-sounding, don't you think?), and "Cannot terminate spyware program". In turn, the sysnotifier.exe virus/trojan/turd attempts to open Firefox/IE to a site to download a fake/rogue spyware remover that does even more damage.
"Sysnotifier.exe" actually sounds like a legit windows process, but it is rogue, annoying, and, as Windows experts call it, "Malicious". I could actually see the Sysnotifier.exe file in the System32 folder (don't open this folder. You could screw up your PC!) and I could send it to the recycle bin, but it keeps regenerating itself over and over and over and over... like ****ing Kuriboh.
The most annoying part would be that none of my scanners (at the time) could remove it. Spybot S&D didn't detect it, AdAware didn't do the trick, MBAM deletes it only temporarily, AVG8 was unsuccessful, and manual file deleting was out of the picture. I may as well post a Hijackthis log at an internet help forum, but it could take days for a response... so I took it into my own hands and did some googling. Apparently, the program SUPERantispyware got rid of it for good. The name of it sounds shady, but really it's a great and legit program.
So what was the point of that infection? Was it to steal personal info? No. Was it to completely destroy my computer? No. Was it to steal my Gamespot password? No. Was it to steal my visual novels, music, my LOLZ folder, and renders? No. Instead, it was just here to be a pain in the ass. You may as well have all the tools necessary to steal money from the bank get away with it, but instead just shoot it up and post pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker's face all over the place and leave the bank without stealing anything.
I spent two days trying to figure out how to remove this. Viruses, malware, trojans, and spyware are pointless enough as they are, but the ones that do nothing but **** around with your computer are the ones that have even less of a reason to exist than Britney Spears, Meet the Spartans, Zombie Strippers, and school events that serve no purpose whatsoever (I'd like to save Darfur and donate money for charity week, but what's this about cancelling 5th period for a dodgeball tournament that the whole school can go to watch? I want to watch the black & white movie adaptation of Lord of the Flies, damnit).
These things don't mess around... but neither do the victims.
So whose computer is this? Huh?

Code Geass R2.
I marathoned it in the past few days. I can't believe I put this off for so long. It's amazing. Do yourselves a favor. Start watching it (or the first season if you haven't). It has pretty much everything you could ask for. Compelling story, great music, superb characters, some comedy, suspense, and Cheese-kun. It punches you in the gut in a good way similar to how most good other things end. Needs moar Cheese-kun. CC's the bomb. Guren MKII is sexy. I've pretty much said all that needs to be said.
In other news
I recently rewatched Voices of a Distant Star and Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo (aka The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). Two amazing works of art. Go see them. They don't sound like much at first. One about space battles and one about time travel. Trust me. They're simple in concept, but they're put together unbelievably well.
Now to finish Clannad... then begin Clannad After Story or something.
On another thought, I should probably get going on the Fate/Stay Night (all voice patched and everything), Utawarerumono, and Tsukihime (3 paths left!) visual novels. Of course, there's one more but we all know what's going on (or what's not going on) with that one.

I also discovered one of the sweetest bands ever. I mean, the band's name is "School Food Punishment". Now that's styIe.
Lastly, I saw Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 on TV recently. It's a shame that they censored it (changed "p***y" to "party" in both visuals and dialogue lol). They're still great and have that weird styIe that doesn't take itself seriously, yet it's still serious business. Hanzo swords are freakin beast.

So recently, couple of real life friends of mine (and the internet friends of my real life friends) recently formed a clan called the Smooth Oppagator Clan.
Don't ask about the name. I've been with my friends throughout the discussion of the clan name and... I dunno how it came to be, but that's what it's called
.Anyways, the clan is basically just an average clan made by some high school guys with some free time. Right now, it's pretty laid-back and not too serious. The current members aside from me would be just people from school and people that people from school know.
Our main game right now is Gears 2 and we pretty much focus on all the big multiplayer games on the 360 right now since they're the games that pretty much everyone has. Despite being a pretty good game, I can't help but wonder why Civ Rev is on there, but whatever.
So this is just a thing that happened. Mind the weird pages like how we supposedly have a clan ranking system, Gears of War "titles" (my title is "The Asian", which is very correct in so many ways it's not even funny :lol
, and how some blatantly obvious terms are listed for newbies, but they're all mandatory... I guess. Despite being a Freewebs site, that'll be the clan's home for now (though I do have a GS union that's under reconstruction...).We're also recruiting. I don't mean to sound like an army recruiter sitting at a booth stationed at a high school cafeteria, but really. We're recruiting. It's just for fun unless our clan leader decides to go pro before moving to Junior year or something. Despite how you can register at the site forums for free, we (or our clan leader) would like you to post in the Requests To Join forum.
If anyone wants to check it out and join, then feel free to visit the site. Usernames should preferably be your XBL GT. The clan leader/site owner is Felt99 and his GT is the same thing.
By the way, try to see if you guys can get anyone who plays Soul Calibur IV and/or RE5 to join. Out of all the main games we play, I'm not at the top of any of them
.Now for an amazing quote that defies all the laws of gravity, logic, common sense, and Tom Cruise:
When life gives you lolcats, lisianthus, bread rising, DDR, MANswers, Tecmo, a hundred bucks, and a Blendtec blender, you have to ask yourself one question: how pissed would Walt Disney be if he found out about High School Musical?
i also discovered the You Spin Me Round song and meme. music video = creepy as ****. song = epicly awesome

*Possible 56k warning, so stop downloading your porn and come over here for a second.
It's been a while. Anyways, my spring break ended a week ago or so. I'll save my RE5 impressions for later or something.
Lately, i've been buying a ****load of games. How much is a ****load? I don't know... at least 10?
Anyhow, my gaming setup's been changed a little and here's what it looks like now. (click for hi-res)
Two mini-drawers w/games. Most of my 360 collection to the left, everything else on the right.
On the table to the left is the Nyko Wii Charge Station, then the Wii, then the 360 with my red controller and a headset.
On table to the right is my white controller and two nunchucks. 360 system box, wii system box, and original Xbox games stored in that little cabin or whatever on the far right.
The top of the plastic drawer has my black 360 controller (LB doesn't work, which means no flash nades in COD) and my black GC controller (can't play Brawl to save my life w/ a wiimote).
Top plastic drawer: my two Nyko Perfect Shots.
Bottom plastic drawer: 360 Play & Charge cable, my HOTD Overkill handcannon, and my original 360 faceplate.My 360's custom faceplate. This is the Nyko Gameface 360. It looks good in pictures and from far away, but up close it looks a little ugly. 7-10 ft away, though, it's at least better than a regular faceplate. Basically, it's a piece of paper you print out and it's sandwhiched together by two faceplate-shaped... shapes. It looks acceptable for something you can do without ordering a custom-made one so this is as close as you can get to making one at home, but there's two problems: it's a real ***** to remove/add faceplates for the 360 and the disc tray had problems. it can open/close fine, but it made the eject button very stuff. I managed to use a knife free up some room the Gameface was taking up next to the eject button make room for the button to move freely so it's all good. By the way, I used GIMP to make the background.
Now here are ALL of the games that I bought from and during this generation.
Top Row: Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5, Ninja Gaiden 2, Call of Duty: World at War, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Soul Calibur IV (limited edition case/stuff not pictured), Armored Core 4, Armored Core For Answer, Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4
Second Row: Dead Rising, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Grand Theft Auto IV, Gears of War (2 disc edition), Lost Odyssey, Assassins Creed, Halo 3, Eternal Sonata, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2
Third Row: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Burnout Paradise, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, House of the Dead: Overkill, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Battlefield 2142, Half Life 2 Episode 1
Fourth Row: F.E.A.R., Resident Evil 4, Crysis (Collector's Edition), Oblivion (rated T release), Bioshock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Battlefield 2 (Special Forces Expansion included), The Orange Box
XBLA games: Every Extend Extra Extreme, Puzzle Quest, Ikaruga, Soul Calibur, Castle Crashers, UNO, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Hexic HD, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Geometry Wars
Not pictured: Forza Motorsport 2 (included in the Marvel:UA case because of Xbox 360 Holiday Pro System Bundle 2007), Audiosurf (The only good PC game of 2008. $10 off Steam. Go get it), Crystal Defenders (iPod), Song Summoner (iPod). Super Mario World (Virtual Console)
Why Resident Evil 4 is here twice: RE4's one of the best games ever. Even the goddamn *****slapped mutilated PC port was good. The Wii controls in RE4: Wii Edition refreshes the fun and easily making it worth playing all over again. And if anyone's wondering, yes. It's better than RE5.
Why Oblivion is here twice: It's more fun to play on the 360 due to the XBL party system so I can chat with friends and so I can laugh at a certain friend of mine who can't figure out which way is south in Oblivion. If you're going towards the top of the map, you're headed in the right direction
. Plus, i modded the PC version to the point of it being no fun anymore and the disc stopped working anyways.Why I have Bioshock: I didn't have a 360 at the time and was desperate for a good PC game. I gave into the hype because the demo had a good first impression, but the rest of the game was really unfulfilling.
Why I have the collector's edition of Crysis: Same as above, but the taste in my mouth wasn't even half as disappointing. There were also no regular copies around so I ended up paying $30 more dollars than I should have (the right price for Crysis would also be $30).
Why I have Eternal Sonata: Because I was looking for a game better than 85% of the other games pictured here. I made the right choice. Eternal Sonata was a steal for $60 when you compare it to Halo 3, Crysis, Bioshock, or Assassin's Creed.
Top games here that I really give a damn about:
Soul Calibur IV
Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
F.E.A.R.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Castlevania: SOTN
Gears of War 2
SSBBGames that probably shouldn't be here:
Bioshock
Puzzle Quest
Crysis (collector's edition, anyways)
Assassin's Creed
PC version of Oblivion
HL2 EP 1 (I felt ripped off by Orange Box making me buy the HL2 games again seeing that I already own HL2 and EP1... but Portal made it totally worthwhile)I actually went on a big gaming spree rently. During March 2009 alone, I got
Ninja Gaiden 2
Resident Evil 5 (pre-order)
Call of Duty: World At War
Armored Core 4
Armored Core For Answer
Dead or Alive 4 (with its ugly Platinum Hits box)
Dead Rising (same as above)
Oblivion (same as above)
Castlevania: SOTN
Every Extend Extra Extreme
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (late Feb.)
House of the Dead: Overkill (late Feb.)
Super Mario World (Virtual Console)Damn... now I know why some parents won't let their kids get jobs...
Put it together with Nov-Dec08
Gears of War
Gears of War 2
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Super Smash Bros. BrawlIt's like giving Fez a box of playboys

Not pictured: Ninja Gaiden 2
Yep. I went on a major game spree to start off the spring break. My preorder of RE5 came and I managed to find SO and WAW new and cheap somewhere off the internets.
RE5 so far is one of the best games in the last few months, but is only held back by the fact that its prequel Resident Evil 4 is clearly superior. It would be hard for Capcom to overcome their own past achievement, but right now I'd say that RE5's an easy recommendation. I'm not too far into it yet, though it's good stuff so far. Before you even have the idea of getting RE5, I'd say go for RE4:Wii Edition first.
I also bought Ninja Gaiden 2 for $20. Far from the quality of NGB, but still satisfying as all hell.

I finally found season two, which now completes my collection. More than $200 went towards the whole thing. Good stuff. Especially Batman Fez. Believe it or not, but pretty much ever other channel on DirectTV airs That 70s Show on a regular basis. With these DVDs, i don't have to settle for less. Go out and buy them. It's well worth it for 24/7 Fez.
Anyways, I bought Armored Core 4, Armored Core For Answer, and Oblivion from a friend for about $50. They're in great condition and still have that "new game" smell that actually smells really nice. You know how you walk into a bookstore and pick out a book and just flip the pages and get a wisp of that? Well, whatever.
I already own Oblivion on the PC, but it has a ****load of scratches because Bethesda lacked the decency of putting the CD in one of those huge PC game cases that could fit a VHS tape. Instead, they opted for putting it in one of those little paper and plastic sleeves like old-school educational PC games. The tradeoff? No annoying BS like SecuROM.
It's been about a year or two since i've even touched Oblivion, so i'm hoping I forgot enough to make it worthwhile. I got it cheap anyways with two AC games, so whatever. And all my friends in my XBL party play Oblivion when they're not playing Gears. Plus, i kind of ruined the PC version after I modded it to the point where it just wasn't fun anymore. See, kids? Too much modding is bad just like cigarettes, porn, and Facebook.
I also received my House of the Dead Handcannon.


I don't get why it has to be white, though. Black would have been better or at the very least, a different colored grip, but whatever. I prefer it over the Nyko Perfect Shot, though it's a little heavier which means it does a better job of recreating an actual arcade light-gun. If only the Wii had enough muscle to handle House of the Dead 4... damnit, Nintendo

And here's something interesting

Those grades are from a while ago, but the term "Asian fail" is actually being used a little bit more among us asians at school
. Believe it or not, I'm asian failing a lot more this trimester. I'm such a bad student 
UPDATE!!
I PRE-ORDERED RE5!

Yesterday I got House of the Dead: Overkill and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. To say the least, it was a very great use of $85.
HOTD: Overkill is one of the best light-gun games i've ever played and it's presented in one of the best, most hilarious ways possible. Think early 70s horror films or grindhouse. The presentation has so much styIe, not even Disco Stu or Rick Astley could outshine it.
It's also the mature experience that Wii gamers have really been waiting for. The gore is fantastic and there's so much swearing, i swear that I'm... well, at a low-budget high school somewhere where all the kids are probably raised by one parent, but the dialogue is just awesome. It's intentionally funnier than it is scary. The narrator's/announcer's voice is also flawless and reminds me of Don Lafontaine, the guy who voices all those movie trailers that everyone sees.
So, yeah. It's pretty mature. The only thing missing is drug use (unless overdoses of zombie injections count). Believe it or not, but there's some huge zombie boobs in this game. I don't know about you, but I'm not at all excited about huge wrinkly gray rotten undead breasts. That's ****ing nasty
. It gets really disgusting later on, but it has nothing to do with bare zombie cleavage. Thanks to how the way it's presented, it's equally hilarious.Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection's pretty neat. I never really got into the Genesis. The closest I ever got to Sega would be occasionally playing the Dreamcast at a cousin's house, but I couldn't think of a better way to revisit the Sonic games. I actually have a Sonic compilation for the PC. It was fun, but now it has too many scratches. Plus, it was a pain in the ass. Seriously. Try playing Sonic with a keyboard. Sonic + Keyboard = death.
I haven't really tried all of the games yet. I got this for a present for my little brother anyways. It was $30 and since there are about 40 games in there, each game cost less than a dollar. The original cartridges must sell for more than $200 a piece by now, let alone that finding a Genesis would be hard and even more expensive.
But here's the really good news. Like, so good, it made me forget about Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, I Know Who Killed Me, and my homework.
I ordered Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn online and it finally arrived today!
I swear that this game is too hard to find at retail, but Amazon had results.
Anyways, Radiant Dawn is pretty much the same Fire Emblem that everyone knows and loves. The formula never changes drastically and it all still works. I just wish that there would be a direct sequel to The Sacred Stones since pretty much every other FE game has had a direct sequel (or prequel). I still play FE: The Sacred Stones like a madman. More than Resident Evil 4 and Soul Calibur IV put together (meaning more than 400 hours
). The fact that it's portable means that I'm actually playing it right now next to my keyboard. Since i'm using the original GBA model, getting it in the right position for the lighting is a real pain. As for the remainder of the american Fire Emblem releases...
I got curious and decided to look around at Amazon to see if Path of Radiance and the American release of Fire Emblem (Fire Emblem 7) were available and they've already become so rare, unused copies sell for $90+ and even the used ones would eat my wallet. As far as I know, Gamestop doesn't have any used ones
. I'm not surprised. Who would sell such great games, anyways?and my sister's DS is busted. No Shadow Dragon for now.
btw, i've been infected by a new GS fad. Anyone I infect has to infect 5 moar people. I infect

20Feb 09*activates bitterly sarcastic (or sardonic) tone of voice*
A few days ago, i tortured myself with Meet The Spartans.
I've been through practice ACTs, fitness tests, and tests where I have to try to not laugh when someone says the title of the book Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress (which is a great book, btw) where "Balzac" sounds like "ball$@*k". But nothing could prepare me for that piece of anal trash. It was a huge test of courage, willpower, and ****ing insanity. If I wrote a book about my experience with it, Paulo Coelho, the legendary author of the book The Alchemist (also an amazing book, by the way), would visit me and tell me how inspirational, tragic, and heartbreaking it is because someone on Earth managed to find words to describe that horrible monstrosity.
Think about it. Where are millions of dollars going?
They aren't going to Africa where there's AIDS, teen pregnancy, malaria, poverty, and homes without computers equipped with the hardware to run Audiosurf. They aren't going towards cures for deadly diseases. They aren't going to support the troops. They aren't going towards the construction of a Dunkin' Donuts down the street.
They're going towards horrible, ****ty movies.
I just saw one of them and I just saw a little bit of two more: I Know Who Killed Me and Epic Movie.
Now why the **** would I do that? Honestly. Why would I watch ten minutes of Lindsay Lohan and an hour of another "epic phail" movie?
Because i'm similar to the guy in movies, stories, and books where he stays behinds and dies in order to save the world. In this case, I'm watching horrible pieces of ass and in turn, i'm saving... no one. Why? Because the stupidass teenagers of America watch this stuff. These movies are a crime against humanity and believe me. It's not worth getting the evidence proving that these movies suck. But someone has to do it.
Also, I happened to stumble upon them while flipping through channels. Damn you, DirectTV!
First off is I Know Who Killed Me. I didn't watch the whole thing. Nope. I didn't catch the beginning, but I managed to see about ten minutes of it which was really all I needed to see.
I didn't catch the first hour or so of the movie so basically what I saw when i flipped the channel to it, Lindsay Lohan was having sex with this one guy. Okay. Sex in movie. Nothing unusual there. The only problem is that it looks like a porn movie except the camera zooms in above her shoulders. She makes all the sounds and movements and all like a really bad porn movie. So bad, I laughed out loud. It is literally just a sex tape, but the camera zooms in and is positioned at a way where there's no nudity being shown. It reeks of bad acting. So bad, this scene is a joke to horror films, films in general, and the sick twisted world of porn. That's something I shouldn't even be talking about, especially at this age, but it's just so bad.
This little scene is simply pornography, but the cameraman decided to piss people off by zooming in on her face and back. That's it. Just to tease people with the "sex sells" gimmick, they show some sideboob, but let me tell you as a straight teenage boy working his way through sophomore year: that sideboob alone is a good enough reason to turn men away from women. Who would want to see Lohan naked anyways? She's a ****ing train wreck. Her face looks so ugly, it looks like the American economy... which looks like a train wreck. If I remember my math vocab correctly, her face equals the economy which therefore makes her face equal to a train wreck according to the transitive property. About time my math skills are paying off and I can finally use the economy to make fun of someone. I guess.
Then later she's at a strip club. But wait. She's a stripper. She does some pole dancing (with, thank god, her clothes on) and realizes later that one of her fingers fell off. Hold on. Who decided to cast Lohan for a horror movie, takes clip from some sex tape she probably made in her spare time, give her the role of a stripper, and try to make the movie look scary by using some cheap special effects to make her finger disappear?
This is where I stopped. I flipped to the channel for ten minutes or so and just said "You know what? **** it. I don't have to stand for this. I'll just go watch Forrest Gump". Which I did. Forrest Gump's awesome and it's the perfect cure for the aftertaste of bullcrack.
Now for Epic Movie.
Take everything I said about Meet the Spartans, but apply it to The Chronicles of Narnia. Then ask yourself "Why the hell is Kal Penn in this movie? He kicked ass as Kumar from Harold And Kumar, but why's he in this BS?". There's also this cute redhead or whatever, but they really need to stop smoking.
I am just gonna stop right there. I may have been really sarcastic throughout the typing of this blog, but at the same time, this is serious business.
btw i've been infected as a zombi by vexx so i'll infect sometime soon.

15Feb 09
Recently, I just got Direct TV. It probably has less channels than what Comcast can offer, but seriously. Does anyone give two ****s about getting a hundred more channels when even the most basic cable services offer five bajillion channels that you might never even use?
It's not like you can watch all channels at once, so whatever.We got it hooked up to three rooms: my basement, the living room, and my bedroom. Not exactly HD, but it works on my old early 90s TV just fine. I pretty much have all the channels and shows that I really care about. I can actually watch the original UK episodes of Kitchen Nightmares (or Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the UK). Gordon Ramsay even has a food show called The F Word. Yeah. BBC America! lolz. Too bad the f-bomb is censored on TV, but **** as in bull**** is fair game. I also like how there's a ton of CSI on almost every conceivable channel. They eventually rerun over time and into the night past midnight, but as a fan of crime-dramas, i'm satisfied. Comedy Central kicks ass and G4... well, they love the show Cheaters for some reason but every once in a while they get to something interesting and tech-related.
They also have a bunch of movie channels. I don't want to pay for Pay-per-view channels, but the ones that come with the service like HBO and Showtime are good enough. It's nice that there's little-to-no commercials.
Now that I got that aside, i can finally say that thanks to those channels, i came across one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I think everyone knows that I badmouth Jason Friedberg and Aaron Selzter. You know. Two guys who make intentionally funny movies that are ironically funny for their amount of suckage. It makes Uwe Boll look like Spielburg or Peter Jackson. They're one of the prime examples of how America's youth is going down the toilet, how common sense is becoming less common, how the human mind actually does have a limit, and that real comedy movies are tanking faster than the economy.
What movie did I see? I saw...
Meet The Spartans
Oh,yes. We're living on the edge. I didn't expect anything good at all. I thought it was going to be really, really bad. After sitting through it, I decided that I was actually wrong. It's not bad. It's ****ing horrible! I haven't seen the actual movie 300, but i can tell that other than the setting and general idea of the story, there seemed to be almost no effort to parody it. I could sum the whole movie up in one word, but if I learned anything from Creative Writing, then I have to show instead of tell.
The movie starts up with the main character of 300, Leonidas, being born. The usual baby gag is used where the baby comes out with adult-like traits (six-pack, beard, etc). Wow. Even at that moment, you can tell that they're not even being that original in the ways of not being funny. Then when he grows up, he's interrogated like James Bond. I'm not following this. Then a dog bites his testicles.
All of a sudden, he's in the snow half-naked trying to survive the weather. Actually, "half-naked" is an understatement. more like one-tenth naked. Yeah. Pretty much every Spartan in this movie just wears underwear and a cape. So anyways, he tries to survive in the cold and finds a Subway sub. Wait... what? He finds Subway? Then he spits it out and complains about Mayo.
Then... a giant penguin appears! Then he starts dancing. Obviously a parody of Happy Feet, but this penguin isn't computer generated. It's basically a midget in a penguin costume. Leonidas mentions the Happy Feet movie, then the penguin starts talking like a black gangster. Leo gets his ass whooped by the penguin, then Leo gets a spear, stabs him, then wears his head as a helmet. What a piece of ****. At this point, you would walk out of the theater or go kill yourself or do anything logical, but otherwise you'll notice that the setting (as in film props and the background) looks like cardboard and very unrealistic like it's being used in a school play. You can tell that they were just being cheap.
Okay, you know what? There's a little bit more in between so i'll skip to the "THIS IS SPARTA" part.
The Pit scene was just overabused. Aside from a sign in the movie that said (Pit of Death), this scene from 300 just got mutilated. The "THIS IS MADNESS" guy obviously gets shoved in, though he makes out with Leo's wife (who actually looks attractive, but looks too modern and too blonde for the setting). All of a sudden, Britney Spears is there breastfeeding her kid while shaving her head. The originality is also mindblowing because they parodied Britney just like everyone else has parodied her. Not the slightest bit of originality was there. Leo kicks her down.
Kevin Federline gets shoved down, then Sanjaya, then all three judges of American Idol. None of them are parodied well and it's just stupid. What's the point? Were they going "Hey, guys. People loved this part in 300. Lets gather a bunch of pop culture icons and throw them into the pit!". If they thought that was comedy, then they're going to be delighted with actual comedy.
There's a whole bunch of BS after that. There's a Spartan with manboobs and a couple of cheap jokes. There's also about fifteen or so Spartans instead of 300. They all hold hands and pretty much skip to disco music on their journey to face the Persians. Then Paris Hilton shows up with a deformed arm. What the ****? It's weird enough that the men kiss each other wearing nothing but undies in this movie, but Paris Hilton with a deformed arm? Who does she think she is? Krauser from RE4? She's actually played by Nicole Parker, who's actually a funny member of the MadTV cast. Why is she in this movie? **** the casting directors.
Eventually they meet some Persians and have a dance contest (parodying the movie "Stomp The Yard"). The leader of the small Persian brigade was black and I'm sure the writers intended it to be that way because the dance-off is just a bunch of cheap breakdancing and awful rap music. It's also funny how all the Spartans are white and acting gangsta. How does this fit into 300 again? There's a guy with a beard like Leonidas and there's a bunch of half-naked guys with red capes, so... yep. That's 300 alright.

It actually gets even more ****ed up. Queen Margo gets the Symbiote Spiderman suit. The narrator even mentions the actual movie Spiderman 3. She fights a guy with powers like Sandman. She beats him and he turns into a pile of sand. A cat takes a dump in the pile of sand and Sandman returns to human form, but has a cat turd on his face. Man. I'd hate to be that LOLcat... anyways, Queen Margo, still in her Spidey suit, then gets a vacuum to suck up the sand and there you go. A halfassed parody of good superhero movie.
Meanwhile, Leo meets Xerxes and Xerxes sends some troops to fight with the Spartans. But wait. They decided that it would be better to have them square off in a Yo Momma contest.
By the way, Xerxes is fat and his nipples... detatch and he uses a staple gun to put it back.
You know what? Let's just skip to the ending.
So the final battle goes like this:
-Ghost Rider appears. His head gets put out by a fire extinguisher.
-Rocky Balboa appears and punches Sonio's head off, then is killed by a botox overdose when Captain injects him with some.
-Xerxes kills Captain by hurling a spear.
-GTA: San Andreas is parodied. The HUD appears and for some reason, Leo car-jacks someone. He doesn't drive the car, but instead tunes the radio to Barbie Girl. He gets out of the car and picks up a crowbar (labeled by a floating blue circle with a crowbar on it, just like true video game powerup icon fashion). He beats a Persian who is holding two Uzis, then takes the Uzis and shoots some Persians.
-Xerxes runs away and falls down, only to discover that he found the Allspark (Transformers) just sitting there buried in the sand. Funny thing is that he calls it the "Transformers Cube"
-Xerxes goes into the car from the GTA parody and uses the Allspark to transform the car. But wait. He actually transforms with the car. It's like a Mansformer or something. I don't know.
-The Transformer then has a giant TV screen on there which connects to Youtube. Then it shows the "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" video.
-Xerxes tries to kill them, but he can't move. The Transformer is connected to an outlet.
-The Transformer gets unplugged and falls down on all the spartans.What. The. ****.
Then a year later, they beat the **** out of Lindsay Lohan who comes out of rehab. They also spoofed the "Paris Hilton crotch exposure" gag here. Yes. They did it several times in the movie.
...
God damn. Some of the jokes in this movie would be appropiate for a TV sketch show, but it's just too much for a feature film. Even if it came to that, it would still suck. Nothing makes sense. It's just a bunch of cheap gags with pop-culture references that have been used to death. They crossed the line between being funny and being stupid. Adam Sandler's recent movies have more value than this.
I can not believe I sat through all of that. It was very hard to laugh for the reasons they intended for me to. I'll go as far as to say that there are crackhead high school "wanksta" rapper wannabes at my school who have more talent than the people behind this film. That just really sounds like a pardox because it's thanks to how the stupidass youth is part of the problem. They watch this crap, probably because they want to be cool. Well, they're not cool. I'm not cool either, but wait. Maybe I guess I am because i actually sat through this and thought it wasn't funny.
Honestly... this movie is almost on the same level as getting Herpes on your eyes. This movie is the equivalent of a half-finished Big Rigs. This movie makes the medical fields boom because you're going to need ****ing counseling after going through this crap.
you know what else pisses me off? Look at this. Just look at it. It's at the top. Why the hell is No Country For Old Men so far down, too?
But there's one redeeming factor that Meet The Spartans has: The characters share my hatred for American Idol, Ryan Seacrest, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan.
The only thing keeping me alive would be that on BBC America, they were showing Goldeneye, arguably one of the best Bond films in recent memory and definitely starring one of the best James Bonds since Sean Connery. Plus, the game kicked so much ass, it puts Crysis, Halo, and Call of Duty to shame

Remember my old internet connection? it was awful. Constant disconnects and slowdowns.

Then...
Oh, yeah. It's pretty fast. Much, much faster than Earthlink (provided through Covad). I know that the server location for the first one is different, though that was an accident on my part. But they're actually rather close seeing that Minnesota is right next to Wisconsin (where That 70s Show took place zomfgwtfbbqFEZ).
The download speeds are pretty quick and overall page-loading is fast. I mean, look at it. It's Earthlink multiplied several times over. The upload speed could be better, but i'm going to spend a lot more time downloading than uploading.
I haven't tested online gameplay yet because i haven't renewed my XBL subscription yet, though my 360's download speed is still a lot faster than before. I managed to grab the RE5 demo in a matter of a few minutes. Yeah. I finally got it. I'll get to some impressions on it later, but right now, all I can say about it is that the fifteen minutes of gameplay offered here owns harder than the entire game of Bioshock. Anyone who hasn't had a chance to get it yet should go download it ASAP or else I'll send my army of Darth Vader Longcats, Lisianthus battalions, and the one and only Red Forman to stick a foot up your assright on the front of your doorstep.
Anyways, I'm also renewing my XBL membership tomorrow or Friday. I actually ordered a card off of Amazon since it's $10 cheaper, but i chose next-day shipping so it'll be about $5 cheaper. I could have gotten free shipping, but here's the catch: i used my own debit card and i get home before my mom. I'm sure my dad won't care, but man. I'm bad. Badder than Fez at a roller disco carrying a rude, spoiled rich girl on roller skates dancing to Car Wash by Rose Royce.

I got a chance to go to Circuit City today. It's such a shame that they're closing. They're like a smaller version of Best Buy, but it's a respectable electronics store. I actually feel bad for them. The stores are still lively despite how it's all going down in a couple of weeks.
But let my tell you one thing: the deals aren't the kind that'll save you big money.
The thing is that the deals don't get good until they're almost closed for good. If you wait that long, though, the selection will be much smaller because people jumped on it as soon as they announced a liquidation. As of now, the price differences for games are so small, you may as well buy it at any other store or, heck, a used one at gamestop.
With or without closing deals, a lot of the older, less big, less popular games are selling at cheap prices. Alone In The Dark, Stranglehold, and a few other games are being sold for less than $30. Popular, bigger, newer games like Gears 2, Halo 3, Brawl, and COD4 (that's right. COD4) are being sold for full price (or about $5-$10 less than regular price). Don't even bother going there to look for rarer, less popular games like Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, Far Cry 2, and the like.
I don't know about your local Circuit City, but my Circuit City had organization prioritized last. They pretty much placed the games on the shelf in almost no order so if you're going there, double-check the shelves and look behind every stack. Oh, by the way, my store had a buttload of Saints Row. Even some gamer chick commented that out loud.
Accessories, however, have better deals and price cuts than the games. Better yet, they have a LOT of accessories in stock. They had a whole shelf full of wii-motes. They literally have HUGE BUCKETS filled to the top with 360 controllers. There's a ****load of 360 wireless adapters, headsets, and everything else. Only problem: MS points, Wii points, and 12-month Xbox Live subscriptions are either hard to find or completely nonexistant here. 360 hard drives and other memory devices are also very uncommon. On the other hand, 1-month XBL cards are very common.
One last thing: I saw a PS3 for $80 off. You could get an extra game with that kind of deal.
All in all, the Circuit City deals so far aren't mind-blowing, but if you're looking to buy a new game or something, you could stop by and see if you can get anything there. If you're in need of accessories Give the place a last good blowout before they're gone forever.
In other news, I bought Burnout Paradise today for $20. I loved the demo and I always planned on getting to it sooner or later. I also got the Nyko Charge Station for the Wii.
I also got the first season of That 70s Show and...
the limited edition red 360 wireless controller!


It's what Mila Kunis would call "Groovifying"
Seriously...
THAT... is sexyThere you have it. If only Wii-motes, wiis, and the 360 itself came in red+black...
giggity.
