Earth Defense Force 2017: Fun on the Cheap

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I own a few games that I'm currently waiting to play: Lost Odyssey, The Orange Box, and The Simpson's Game, but I've put them in the back of the queue for a stupid cheap game that I picked up from Wal-Mart for $20. Earth Defense Force 2017 is a third-person shooter ...

Amazon Gave Me $50 For Getting Screwed

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

On Friday I got an email from Amazon telling me they're giving me $50 of store credit. To what do I credit this awesome gift. I was one of those poor fools who bought an HD DVD player before Toshiba threw in the towel. I bought my HD DVD ...

Uwe Boll is not a fucking retard like Michael Bay

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

A while ago director Uwe Boll was asked about an internet petition asking him to stop making movies. He said if it got 1 million signatures he would quit. If you don't know who Uwe Boll is, he makes movies. Correction, they can't really be called movies, they're really ...

Thoughts on Little Wars Gaming Convention

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

For those of you who follow my Twitter feed, you might have read that I was at a convention yesterday (if you don't follow it, then you should start). I really didn't know much about it, but my dad asked me to come along so I did. Turned out it ...

So long Chuck!

Looks like the big news out of Hollywood is that actor Charlton Heston died.  The only reason I bring it up is because CNN has included the following poll asking what my favorite class Heston movie is.  I couldn't answer it because they didn't even include his best movie, Soylent ...

I go through themes faster than…well something that goes through themes pretty fast

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

The last theme, nonzero green, lasted all of 6 six days before I grew tired of it.  For some reason it just didn't look right for 655321web dot COM.  It's not a bad theme, it just wasn't right for me. I went searching for a theme tonight not expecting to find ...

There goes another perfect season…

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Unfortunately I was at work during the Brewer game today, but I was able to track it through the wonders of the iPhone. It started out fantastically with the crew going up 2-0, but the game quickly got out of hand when Dave Bush started walking runs in. I left workaround ...

Brewers Put up 2nd Most Expensive Bullpen

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I promise I won't post baseball things, but I had to post this because it blows my mind. I was reading Brew Crew Ball and adding up the salaries of all the pitchers in each teams bullpen and the Brewers have invested the second most out of all 30 teams in the ...

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A few weeks back I had to distinct pleasure to check the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. The movie follows Steve Wiebe as he makes several attempts to dethrone the world record high score for the arcade game Donkey Kong. The current record of 874,300 points was held by ...
