I am what I am. I like food, photography, and anything that does not involve getting mortally wounded, or dying. I don't take things too seriously, so i'm not at all that serious about being serious. Seriously, just have fun, which is what I like to do sometimes, as long as I don't die, or get mortally wounded.

Thor: The Darkworld trailer

Just saw it and looks exciting.  Thor was a pleasant surprise when it came out some time ago, and this looks like another winner from Marvel.

Fast & Furious follies

Friend of mine shared this with me, it’s Sung Kang or Hahn from the Fast & Furious movies doing a faux car show called “Car Talk with Sung Kang”.  It’s funny.

Today’s games re-imagined…

..Kinda.  I cam across this from another friends FaceSpace page, and thought it was quite interesting.  What if the game’s we played today were done back in the 8 and 16 bit era.  Wait, scratch that, they were done back then but with different names, and well, with the limited tech, different perspectives.  As a long time gamer, I can’t help but see this parallel.  It also makes me excited at how much better it will be in the future.  I was blown away when I first played Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2, and now, I still get constantly blown away by the games that come out.  Let’s just hope no one ruins it for us, and gives us craptastic titles, with this current head hunt on violence in video games.  Time will tell.

A trio of awesomeness – Nintendo announces some 3DS titles. (long over due sequels)

I wont even say much about these titles.  They are made by Nintendo using their A-List protagonists, and when Nintendo does that, it’s usually most probably going to be awesome.  I might as well just hand over some cash to them now, cause these are must get titles.  Finally something new to play on my 3DS.  I think with these 3 upcoming titles, I would’ve picked up one, but Fire Emblem is awesome in it’s own right. Now, GIVE US ADVANCED WARS!!!

Catching Fire – Trailer

The second movie on Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games series is set to be released later this year.  I like the first movie, but after reading the book, and seeing the movie again, I still liked it, but it was lacking.  I read the trilogy last year, and I could not get into Katniss‘ character.  In any case, I am very excited to see this movie.  I am excited to see how they interpreted it, and how much they changed.   The trailer looks very promising.

Fans take over..

In light of the recent event’s that has happened in Boston, some unity and solidarity was shown at tonight’s Boston Bruins game.  During the National Anthem, Rene Rancourt started off the first few verses, but the crowd quickly took over.  This gave me shills when I heard it on the radio, and when I just saw the video now.

Chant’s of U-S-A filled the arena right after the anthem.

Earthbound Virtual Console

I am so excited with this announcement. One of my favorite games for the SNES, is now coming out again in Virtual Console. It’s a shame they haven’t brought out a sequel, but this will do.

So as we reported earlier today, Nintendo made some huge announcements today. One of the big ones is Earthbound, or Mother 2 as it’s sometimes known, will finally be coming to the virtual console. This has been a long time coming as fans have begged Nintendo for years to something with the Mother/Earthbound franchise.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (DLC)
Even the poster is done 80's style

Even the poster is done 80’s style

So a friend of mine, let’s call him B-Money, asked me if I had played Far Cry 3.  My response was a simple no.  Even though it’s a good game, it was never really on my short list, and I have been sort of staying away from sandbox titles as of late.  Well anyway, B-Money started telling me about the new DLC for it, and well, after the conversation, it is now on my short list, at least the DLC.  Immediately, after I turned on my PC, went to BING, typed in Google, then proceeded to search for Blood Dragon, and just as what B-Money had said, it’s totally over the top, and totally themed after those 80’s cyber cartoons I grew up watching, music, sound effects and all.   (more…)

Boston Marathon Tragedy
I pulled this from a friends FB page. Thanks for whoever made this

I pulled this from a friends FB page. Thanks for whoever made this.

Tragedy struck today at around the 4 hour mark at this years Boston marathon.  I got word around 4:30 ish, and seeing the video shortly there after is gut wrenching.  It’s just a shame that there are monsters out there, that do such horrific things.  It’s still unknown (as of a few hours ago, I’m not sure if there any more news that came about) as to who did this, if it’s international or domestic.  I’ve photographed a few marathons in the past, and it is such an inspiring event.  Seeing people, young and old, try to conquer this physically demanding event, and something like this happens.

I cannot express how angry I am when I see such travesties happen.  We as a human race should just grow the fuck up.  Innocent by-standers, enjoying a nice day, watching their loved ones, their friends trying to accomplish something that’s one of the most physically demanding activity one can do, cheering, having a great time, but instead end up in a nightmare.  I have family up in Beantown, and luckily, they were not affected.

On behalf of myself JP (JezzaNorris), John (NekkedSnake), and Pat (Cheesecake), we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to those that were affected by this brutish action.
