Breaking News

Mike (dark hair) has made his first ever universally acceptable comment.

I know that this is an acceptable comment because, as you can see, Communism ruined the Bat Man.

The Superman Exists…

… and he’s an American.

I’m really digging the new Watchmen marketing scheme.  If they decide to leave it set in the 70s or early 80s or whenever it was originally set, I’ll be stoked as hell.

Enjoy tonight’s special news segment on our country’s greatest asset: Doctor Manhattan.

America

Fuck yeah!

Happy 2009

From us to you, may this next year be fantastic, semifictional, and – above all – fun.

Puns

My dad sent me a list of puns today. Here are my favorites.

A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center says, “Keep off the Grass.”

The roundest knight at King Arthur’s table was Sir Cumference.

He acquired his girth from too much Pi.

I thought I saw an eye doctor in Alaska, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.

No matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationery.

It’s not that she didn’t know how to juggle, it’s just that she didn’t have the balls for it.

Don’t join dangerous cults; practice safe sects.

Search Terms

Here’s my favorite search term of the day.

“vampire books based in european history”

I have no clue what Becky’s been reading that turns this up.

Wait!

/wade through hella hits

I just realized that she reads Buffy the Vampire slayer.

Ah’m dumb.

Metal Gear Solid 4

I picked up MGS4 at midnight on the release day.  So far, I’ve played through two acts of the story, and I’m thoroughly hooked.

Now, I’ve read a lot of poor reviews of the game, but I think that stems more from the gamer than the game.  You see, the game is everything that MGS fans love, taken to the extreme.  Combat is a penalty for sneaking poorly.  The story is deep and intricate, with very involving cutscenes.

Unfortunately, not everybody is up for these things.  A lot of people bought this game because it is the long-awaited PS3 exclusive.  These people often start their reviews with “Now, I didn’t really like/play the other MGS games…”  This is why they tend to give Guns of the Patriots lower marks.

My advice is this: If you didn’t like the other games all that much, don’t buy this sequel.  If you loved those games, and you want your questions answered (such as “What the fuck is with that La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo crap?”), go buy this game.

Further Reviews

Just saw The Incredible Hulk.  This makes this week’s list of “Undeniably Brutal Things”.

Edward Norton and Liv Tyler portray Bruce and Betty very well.  The story gets into the character of Banner for a while before the Hulk bits.

One of my favorite things about this movie is that the Hulk himself says next to nothing, and they waited for an appropriate moment for the inevitable “HULK SMASH!”
