San Diego Comicon

author: J C

Last year I waited too long to buy the 4 day passes and they were sold out by the time I tried to register and settled on going Friday and Saturday instead. This year I've been checking the comicon website every week waiting for next year's 4 day passes to go onsale. Wait no longer! I am hoping to buy my pass this weekend and not have to worry about anything selling out. For some reason they are offering 4 days passes without attending preview night so be careful which option you purchase. Plus they increased the overall price but it's still worth it. Let me know if anyone else plans on going so we can get this shit taken care of immediately. No more waiting around. Once we know who has their passes, we can start working on getting a place to crash at. Check out some pictures I took from this past comicon.

MGS4 + Heavenly Sword / skill = owned

author: si3ge

so heres a quick wrapup review of a couple ps3 games weve all wanted to play since they were released...


MGS4: cinematics and story are incredible. the graphics are jaw-dropping sometimes too. only weird thing is the proportion of gameplay to cinematics was 1:2. most of the game was a cakewalk until the final act where they give you some pretty hard rooms to get through. all the bosses were really cool to play with neat innovative ways to interact with them and methods to beat theam. i can see why it got a 10/10 but i really coulda used some more gameplay. i have yet to try the metal gear online mode. but a friend from work says they stopped supporting the servers for it. :/


Heavenly Sword: Nariko is super hot. plays like GOW + that one game that ken played through where you have to hit buttons on time in sequence to get through a cinematic event. also this game is the first ive seen to make great use of the Sixaxis ps3 controller. you have to balance the controller to steer flying objects like cannonballs, arrows, chinese hats, knives, etc. its really frustrating at first cause it seems like its impossible to guide it properly but once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun. of course there was a lotta hype about this one cause of the mo-cap work done by the guy who did mo-cap for golem... and its pretty awesome. seems like he was teh voice and movement of 3 or 4 characters and he did a great job, you really feel for the characters. but yeah... its pretty short. and once you get the heavenly sword, you pretty much have seen all the moves youre gonna see in the game. you unlock new combos but no weapon upgrades or anything like that. its pretty cool but if the game were longer id want to see some different fighting styles or different weapons. maybe some heavenly numchucks or heavenly boomerang (with sixaxis control!).

Songs of Desperation

author: J C



I went to the movies the other night to see 500 Days of Summer which was a pretty awesome film. What was equally as impressive was the soundtrack that played throughout the movie. I found a few new bands I hadn’t heard of before that have that indie sound to them but one band in particular that many people in the U.S. are unaware of is The Temper Trap who are from Australia. They have a unique sound that is gaining them a lot of popularity in other countries and the song you hear in the background for the trailer is performed by them. Here is the music video for that song. Enjoy it, bitches.

Spaced

author: K



TV show co-written by Simon Pegg of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Star Trek (Scotty) fame. It's weird AND awesome.

Peg and his co-writer pretend they are a couple in order to get a flat (apartment) that's for a professional couple only. Hilarity ensues. Brian, the downstairs neighbor is the best.

All Glory to the Hypnotoad!

author: J C

Futurama was canceled a few years ago but with a continuing popularity, Comedy Central has decided to create new episodes. The only problem was that the original voice actors wanted much more money that was not going to be paid to them. Threatening to have a show with an entire cast of new actors, it seemed that the show was going to be a failure. However, it appears that there was a compromise made and now the original voice actors will be returning.
