What the Hell?

So today I was browsing the internet when I came upon an article that totally blew my mind. Kim Jong-Il (yes, that Kim Jong-Il) is going to throw out the first pitch at a Nationals game this year in washington. I'm sorry, but since when did we start letting murdering fascist dictators participate in our national past time? Not only is this completely immoral but they chose the wrong dictator. If they had to choose one couldn't they have chosen Castro? He really likes baseball and I hear he's pretty good. I actually have more to say on this subject but right now I don't have the time to type it. I know you all wait with great anticipation.

Luigi can jump high.

Everyone likes videos, everyone likes the drums, and most people like Super Mario 2. Where else can you live out your fantasy of playing as toad? Anyway check out this video, it's pretty sweet.

Birdo's a girl right?

Project B: Part 1

So here it is, a TatoBlog exclusive. This is a rough edit so keep that in mind. I obviously have to add some music and color correction, and eventually I might even reshoot a couple of parts. In the end though my main goal with this movie is just to have fun playing around with various special effects shots. In the next episode were chasing cars, hitting old ladies, and breaking glass. In the off chance that anyone actually reads this thing, please tell me what you think.

Bionic Commando

So with all of this fervor for the new Bionic Commando, I thought I'd play through the original. I'm glad I did. First let me just explain the plot. You are Rad Spencer, a Bionic Super Soldier who can use his robotic arm to kick some serious ass, and swing wherever the hell he wants. He's sorta like Spider Man but with a better name, a better hairdo, and a bazooka. National Hero and all around good guy Super Joe has been captured by a group of Nazis who call themselves the Bads (just to makes sure no one gets confused), and It's up to you to save him. In order to do so, your going to have to kill General Killt and foil his plan of building a super laser by reviving an evil genius who goes the name of Master D. Anyway Hitler gets revived and calls you a damn fool for trying to fight him, but in the end his head explodes. Did I say Hitler? I meant Master D (Click the picture to watch it go!). Pretty intense huh?. I told you this game is cool.

If you couldn't tell already I'm pretty excited about the new one, even though I don't have the hardware to play it. Maybe by the time it comes out I will, but seeing as I'm going to be paying off my car for most of the foreseeable future it's not likely. Hopefully It'll get the swinging mechanic right. I can't tell you how many games have screwed that up. Well I suppose I actually could, but it just might take a while. Many of them rhyme with Splider Man.

Thats all for today...I'm gonna go make a waffle.

Ninja Trailer

This is the trailer for the movie that I'm making. Thanks to Rob for the awesome score. Wanna help make it? Were shooting it January the 19th... give me a call.

3:10 to Yuma / Eating gross stuff

So I rented this movie the other day and I gotta say it's pretty good. I haven't seen the original but I'm probably going to get on that in the upcoming weeks. Anyway, 3:10's got pretty much everything you look for in a Russell Crowe movie...Fighting. Yes, (Spoiler Alert) lots of people get killed in this movie. Oh and Christian Bale is pretty cool too. It just sorta bugged me that Crowe never tried to get away at the end. Couldn't James Mangold just have slapped some hand cuffs on him or something? Whatever, thats probably just me. Speaking of Christian Bale has anyone seen Rescue Dawn? It's an OK movie, but Bale's not so great in it. I give him points for eating bugs but it's just not enough. After seeing Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman on the travel Channel nothing seems gross anymore. I saw that guy eat a still beating frog heart and wash it down with a shot of lizard juice. It was sort of a funny moment since the "chef" was there looking at him to see what he'd think. He gaged a bit and then smiled and told the world how good it was. It reminded me of Rachel Ray.

Why you should play chrono trigger.

This past week I’ve spent most of my time playing through Chrono Trigger, and I must say; time well spent. On a scale from 1 to AWESOME this game is at least a 13. It's got great characters (despite their being named by 8 year olds), a great story, more endings then you could possibly ever hope to complete, and the final boss inexplicably looks like a messed up duck. What's not to like? If you're one of those fools that won't play old games because their old (I'm looking at you rob) then perhaps this game might change your mind. Then again it might not. Perhaps a list will persuade you?

Old Games Are:
1. Fun
2. Plentiful
3. Cheap

Can you say that about the Wii? nope. Don't get me wrong, I’m excited about the Wii's financial success, I'm just a little nervous about it. The Wii seems to be following a trend that has plagued Nintendo consoles since the N64; the only good games on them are made by Nintendo. Sure there are a few exceptions like Resident Evil 4, but it's just not like it was back in the SNES days. I’m just tired of companies porting over a crappy game, throwing on a few waggle controls, and slapping it with a $50 price tag. I know their supposed to be “Causal” games or whatever but thats no excuse for how bad some of these games are. Trust me on this one, I’ve played Dancing with the Stars, and I'd rather suck the fat out of Al Roker than play it again. Unfortunately due to competitive pricing and a family that watches way too much crappy TV, I now own it. If things continue the way they are I might have to abandon technology altogeather and live with the monkeys like Jane Goodall. Heres hoping it doesn’t come to that.

Today the world changes.

Hello, and welcome to my blog. Like most blogs that you may have seen this is a place were I can write words and maybe people will read them. If your interested in hearing what I have to say on stuff then this might just be the place for you, otherwise you probably should stop reading.
