I almost fell...

163 days..

the worst i can find...

I'm trying to do this 2K6 thing right, so just to update you, my ghost button (though still available) wasn't the hit I thought it was going to be.

Although that made me very sad (what with it being so awesome and all), I've decided to carry on in spite of this with my efforts to make neat buttons for people to purchase on the internet.

To that end I have 4 new buttons I'll be unveiling shortly.

My hope is that one or more of them will find your fancy, and then tickle it.

best.

Curt and I playing Guitar Hero.
If you haven't played this game yet, you don't know how much fun you're missing.
It's certainly in my Top 10 favorite games ever list.

Video Game Ideas.

In the course of working for places that sell video games together, Edward and I have come up with many an idea for a video game.
In an effort to catalog some of these ideas for the sake of posterity and so that they'll be a matter of public record I thought now was as good a time as any to put some of them here on the interweb.
(Edward, if you recall any of these ideas with a greater level of lucidity than I do, please let me know so that everyone can wallow in our opulence.)

Pretty Scenery : As best as I recall, the object of this game was to look at pretty scenery. The scenery could not be interacted with nor manipulated.

Foot Race : In this game you race. On foot. I can see this game playing out in more than one fashion. One would have you controlling the runner's movements with an analog stick or D-pad and the runner's speed with how quickly you could push a pre-designated button. Another iteration gives you absolutely no control over the racer. Instead, you would control things or characters surrounding the race, such as the person who hands the racer a cup of water.

Stop Watch : This game let's you control your very own virtual stop watch.

Jefferson Pang : I have no idea.

Lincoln Memorial : I'd have to assume our idea was that you'd visit the Lincoln Memorial.

Bicycle : Learn to ride a bicycle.

Chest Pains : This game had two featured gameplay options. One part was where next generation graphics would be employed to help one experience what it would be like to watch someone have chest pains. The other option was getting to be a vengeful god choosing who would receive the chest pains.

Step & Step : Step. Now, step again. Repeat. Repeat again. Now, repeat again.

I'm the last splash..

If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we put a man on the moon?

Since Batman Begins comes out on DVD today (2 disc special edition on the cheap at Amazondotcom), I thought this would be a fun/funny thing to link you to.. though if you haven't seen American Psycho it won't make a lick of sense. So yeah, it's safe to avoid it if you haven't seen that flick.

So, this engineer fellow in England built himself a Transformer out of a Mini. Good for him.

I've decided without question that I must have a Playstation 2 so that I can play Katamari Damacy.

If you haven't played it, then you honestly don't know what you're missing.
If you know anyone that wants to sell me a PS2 on the cheap I'd love to hear about it.

I don't know about you, but this is where I like to hang out on the internet come Halloween time.

The latest video journal from the set of SUPERMAN RETURNS is great.

If you're a fan of Danny Elfman or Sam Raimi or Spider-Man 2 go have a read at this. Bizarro.

I took a photo of Superman.

"He's reliable. He's considerate. He's like your exact opposite."
"So he's Bizarro Jerry."
"Bizarro Jerry?"
"Yeah, like Bizarro Superman, Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards Bizarro world. Up is down, down is up, he says hello when he leaves, goodbye when he arrives."
"Shouldn't he say badbye? Isn't that the opposite of goodbye?"
"No, it's still goodbye."
"Does he live underwater?"
"No."
"Is he black?"
"Look, just forget the whole thing."

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are making another movie together. Film fans rejoice.

They're going to make Star Wars Transformers. I'm not even making this up.

Anyone else ready to see that new Harry Potter flick? I just saw the latest international trailer for it, and it looks incredible. I sincerely hope that these movies stay profitable enough for all of the books to get made. Into movies, I mean... because there's no way I'm actually going to read them all.

If you didn't already know TiVo is fantastically magical.

The Family Guy movie lands on DVD this Tuesday, so if you're a fan be sure to keep an eye out for it... though chances are, if you're a fan you already knew that.

Well, it's official now. The 2005 Voodoo Music Fest is going to be held here in Memphis. Have a look at the line up. I don't expect this to lead to better things for Memphis in the future, because I'm sure it will be a mess and the bands as well as the promoters, etc. will be very anxious to get out of town once it's over.

There's going to be a Fraggle Rock movie!

Sam & Max are coming back!

You can also view the trailer and download the demo for the new Bone game from that link.

Which is not to say I won't get great things, because my friends and family always get me neat stuff that I love very much, it's just never what I'm expecting.

BRUCE CAMPBELL!

It looks like October 18 is going to be an even bigger day for DVDs as The Legend of Zelda 3-Disc set also hits stores that day.

A fun parody cartoon that gives us the rundown on House of M.

Hell, while we're at it, why don't you go ahead and watch X-Men : Death Becomes Them and then X-Men : Dark Phoenix Rising.

Batman Begins is coming to DVD on October 18 along with Batman : The Motion Picture Anthology 1989-1997.
As you might have guessed, I'll be buying both of these.

Feel free to also pick up George Romero's Land of the Dead on DVD the same day.

Or pick up The Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection 5 DVD Set that day as well.

For those of you who don't understand why I like Superman so much, here's a link.

Doug has alerted me to two things:
1) This link.
2) That he's started his own blog.
My suggestion would be to check both out. I mean, Doug knows magic. I wouldn't want to make him mad... would you?

More Danger Mouse is on the way!

So, it's Ghost Rider.

So for those of you who don't already know, and might care, Maggie was in a really bad wreck yesterday.
Her hip/pelvis is broken in 3 places, she's got broken ribs, kidney and spleen lacerations, stitches in her arm and face. Thankfully, she doesn't have any brain or spinal damage.
What's worse though is that she doesn't have any medical or auto insurance.
She's not going to be able to walk again or leave the hospital possibly for months, which means she's not going to be able to work.
As you can imagine her medical bills are going to be very high.
Also, the people that hit her (with their SUV) may try to sue her.
She's looking at some serious financial peril.

So, I'm giving you heads up now that I'm going to be trying to put together a benefit show (or shows) to try to help her out with these bills.
This just happened yesterday, so I haven't started getting into the logisitcs of it all yet, but I have every intention of making it happen.
If you would like to be involved or think you could help, please let me know.

Good DVD news for DC Comics fans : Part 1. Part 2.
