My Extended Absence

It’s fucking difficult to get on the goddamn computer here when you have three additional people vying for time with the lucious internets. So, there won’t be a whole lot of updates, which anyone who reads this site, all three of you, are more than likely used to by now.

Here’s what’s on the slate for the coming weeks/months. There are three high profile releases coming out in September/October that I’ll be reviewing along with their entire back catalogue. Who? Just wait. Hopefully, I can review them before they hit the streets. That was a hint. Or was it? Just kidding.

That little project I mentioned awhile ago is a no go….FOR NOW! I am, of course, speaking of the Flaming Lips project I have taken upon calling Project Zaireeka: An Experiment In Aural Experimentation, Punctuated by Progressive Nostalgia. I know, it’s a mouthful, but I’m a sucker for long titles.

I’d still like to get a podcast off the ground, but lack the company that would make it work. No one wants to listen to one dude talk about media for an hour. I have talked to someone about it vaguely, but our schedules conflict and it would be nigh impossible to update it weekly, seeing as we are both lazy. This individual would make the perfect podcast companion, considering we occasionally butt heads. Should make for entertaining stuff. I’ve also got some awesome weekly/monthly features in mind that would definitely set us apart from the competion (read: EVERYONE!)

Anyone see that trailer for the Wii exclusive title The House of the Dead: Overkill? I’m buying it based on that trailer alone. For reals.

Any who, I apologize for my extended absence and hope to bring some more content to my corner of the web in the coming days. If only I could take command of the computer. Hmmmmm……

Wow, Just…Wow

I think I may have stumbled upon the greatest website known to man. To see this, you must click the more linky.

Every Time Paul WS Anderson Touches A Property, An Angel Gets Aids

Oh, man. Where do I begin? How about how he raped the Resident Evil franchise by making up plot lines and characters that don’t fit with the games. I know he’s said several times that they exist separate from the games. But if that’s the case, don’t use characters from the games. You tarnished Jill Valentine and the Nemesis, and it looks as though you’re about to tarnish Claire Redfield, who is being played by none other than Ms. Chiklit-Teeth herself Ali Larter. Seriously, can this woman ever close her mouth? Every time her character appeared on Heroes, I just wanted to kill myself; but, I digress.

This latest installment, based off the teaser trailer, looks to amp up the action and zombie-age prerequisite singer turned actor/actress, in this case Ashanti. These reasons alone make me want to avoid this turd. It could turn out to be mindless fun, I can at least admit that, but I thought that about the second film RE: Apocalypse, and that is hands down one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I’m not exaggerating, it’s that bad. I can think of nothing from that movie that would make me re-watch it, besides the girl who played Jill. Not bad, I say.

Watch for yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn.

Resident Evil: Extinction 

P.S. Kudos to anyone who got the blog title joke.

Sony: Mindfucking Your Fucking Mind

I understand this is pure speculation, but goddamn is this getting hard to follow! Check this out.

Andre Vridnaud, Microsoft’s Director of Technical Strategies, states:

“My prediction is that you’re going to see the creation of a new, low-end SKU this holiday. It’ll likely remove integrated wi-fi, memory card reader, and most controversially, all backward compatibility,” he added.

“You’ll see a new wi-fi dongle made available. And finally, this low-end SKU will likely come with a smaller 40 GB hard drive. The low-end price will be set at $399, with the higher-end 80 GB SKU dropping to $499.”
