New Daily Collumn

Aaron Garretson — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:05:34 +0000

Now that my extended abscense shall come to a close, I’d like to announce the unveiling of my new collumn which will explore the top 50 albums released in the last decade. Keep in mind that these are just albums that I’ve experienced a significant amount of time with and in no way reflect the absolute best music of the past decade. I can, however, say that all 50 of these records are worth owning or listening to at the very least.

Tomorrow should kick off the countdown.

Oh hai!

Hello, there. I’ve taken quite a leave of absence. I was in a position with no real way to update this corner of the web for almost six months. I’m sure that anyone who did frequent this site has all but left for greener pastures. It’s nobody’s fault but my own. I neglected you. Well, I will neglect no longer. I’d like to continue to do some editorials throughout the week concerning anything in the geek milieu. The podcast is on hold for a bit.

Anyway, I should be completely revamping the site, including a name change, and would like to build a community over here. If anyone would like to contribute, send me a comment.

2 Guys 1 Podcast Episode 3: In Which Cesaria Gets Drunk

zombiebait — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:21:12 +0000

Our best podcast yet! This was the most fun to record thus far and had absolutely nothing to do with the alcohol I had imbibed before recording. We discuss the new of Montreal record, shit hole directors, our Top Five of the week, a little retro action on Sonic the Hedgehog’s bizarre franchise, and some love for Pixar. We also briefly mention the ambitions for future podcasts and the site.

As always, hit the Contact Us link in the upper right corner of the screen to send in some questions, comments, or concerns. We love getting mail and would love to answer your questions on the podcast. Thank you for listening. You give us a reason to do these!

New Review Coming Tomorrow

Aaron Garretson — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:29:18 +0000

We’ll be hosting another great review tomorrow. It’s an album by another band I teased weeks ago. I’ll be reviewing the new album, as with their back catalog to follow in the weeks approaching its street date. What group? Come back tomorrow.

Review – Dragonforce: Ultra Beatdown

zombiebait — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:28:39 +0000

So I recently found the new Dragonforce Cd. For all of you who aren’t familiar with Dragonforce, they are an ultra fast speed metal band. I guess you could say if Zeppelin played 1,000 times faster and were more obsessed with fantasy then that could get you closer to what Dragonforce is. From the limited listens that I have put into the Cd I can already tell you that it is still once again one of the fastest things that I have ever heard. If you were a fan of any of the other 3 Cd’s then you should be a fan of the new one. The Cd starts with the track “Heroes of Our Time”.

I also believe that that is one of the new downloadable tracks on Guitar Hero 3. The song is fast paced and shows off what Dragonforce has always shown off; speed, precision, and technicality. There is a bit more keytar on this album than I had heard in earlier releases. This doesn’t detract or really add anything but it does kinda make it reminiscant of a metal Journey if that makes any sense at all. Once again as per usual with Dragonforce every song feels like an epic with the shortest song clocking in at 5 minutes 20 seconds. The instrumentals are once again amazing and I find myself amazed that anyone can play that quickly and still be able to make out all the notes. Overall I love Dragonforce. They are one of the few speed metal bands I actually get into and enjoy and this Cd does not disappoint. I can’t give it a 5 because they didn’t bring too much new items to the table but a definite strong 4 out of 5. This is definitely one to pick up if you love speed metal, Dragonforce, or just love crazy fast music that makes you want to move around a lot.

Podcast 3 should be up today

zombiebait — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:10:56 +0000

We had a really good show this week and when I put it up I will let Cesaria tell you all about it. Thanks for the patience.

Site Updates

Aaron Garretson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:29:00 +0000

I’ve mentioned in the past that I’d like to start a game night with my readers. That’s still on the slate as of now. I currently only have two online capable systems, Wii and DS, and plan to upgrade to a 360 soon. I’ll have a seperate page up soon that details what games I have and their respective friend codes. I may also try to coax Zombiebait into taking part, considering he has every system known to man. As of now, Cesaria Game Night will debut next Thursday at 7:00 pm, game pending. Also, you can leave comments about what game you’d like to play. I really want to strive for community interaction.

Regarding the podcast, the traffic went up considerably and a few people downloaded it, which is actually more than I anticipated. I’d like to know what you think. The next one will be recorded Saturday night and put up either Sunday or Monday. We’ve now got two mics and a few songs we’ll be throwing in for good measure. If you have any questions you’d like us to answer on-air, send me an email at azeke799@yahoo.com or just leave a comment.
