Just Cause 2 - PS3 Boxart


About a month ago, I picked up a copy of Just Cause 2 for the PlayStation 3. It’s a pretty standard sandbox style action game, akin to Saints Row 2 or Red Faction: Guerrilla… Only, it’s really, really fun.

It’s a game that’s super easy to talk about, because there’s no real risk of spoilers. That’s not to say there isn’t a story to the game, as there is – it’s just that the story is mostly there to get you to move about the map, and isn’t an actual driving force behind gameplay.

It’s actually quite refreshing, and a welcome addition to my game library. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, I know – I don’t update for ages, and when I do… It’s with a Doctor Who/BBC One promo.
Well, bite me – It’s The Doctor, some reindeer, and a TARDIS sled. How can that *not* be considered awesome?

Speaking of holiday madness, in one week I’ll be getting ready to begin Operation Distant Shores. More information on that later.

Entry 0225

16 Nov

Often at work, I get bored – and spend part of the day chatting, off and on, with Rosenberg.
Occasionally, we have awesome discussions about stuff.

Today was one of those days – the day we wrote The Greatest Movie Ever Made

So, President Sam Jackson teams up with former football star turned demolitions expert Bruce Willis and Ron Perlman – a doctor of some sort, maybe physics – to destroy an asteroid which is headed towards Earth.

“I swore a motherfucking oath to protect this motherfucking country, and not one damn one of you motherfuckers are going to keep me from blowing that motherfucking asteroid out of the motherfucking sky!”

Meanwhile, scientist Milla Jovovich has discovered that the real reason the terrorists (headed by Sparkels and Zach Quinto) bombed the asteroid to make it hit Earth is because it emits a particular radiation (T-Waves) which creates zombies.

She teams up with her kid sister, Megan Fox and and ex-Army Ranger (Kurt Russel) to fight the zombie meance *and* ultra-terrorist organization

Along the way they meet a man with a plan to cure the zombies (Bruce Campbell) – with chainsaws and boomsticks.

Things go wrong, and the asteroid isn’t fully destoryed! But, Bruce Willis has a plan – They steer the damn rock towards the terrorists headquarters (Deadly Volcano Island) – where, coincidentally, the zombies have been herded!

BA-DA-BOOM!

Our surviving heroes surf the resulting tsunami wave to D.C.

The End

This movie would, of course, be the greatest film ever made. It would also be the second to last film ever made (the last being the Bollywood musical adaptation), because after this no other movie would ever need to be made – nothing could ever hope to be as awesome and epic as this.

It would be a true Wyld Stallyn moment, ushering in an era of peace that humanity has never before known. Probes would be launched into deep space, playing The Movie eternally, so that all races might know the power of this story.

Truly, it would be the best thing ever.

And, we’ve already got plans for a sequel.

Dunny Turns 30

Dunny Turns 30


Friday the 6th was my 30th birthday, and it was grand.

Nadia got me an awesome cake, a nice new blue dress shirt shirt, a great watch, a pac-man t-shirt and a cool laptop bag. Lots of great loot from my great and wonderful girl.

Awesome Cake is Awesome

Awesome Cake is Awesome

We had lunch together at [Insert Name of Restaurant Here], nice little Japanese place with great food, and later that night we had dinner with my folks at Tommy Bahamas, followed by watching The Vampires Apprentice – a surprisingly good movie.

The following morning we went to GameWorks with Rosenberg and Coldiron, and stayed there pretty much the whole day playing games, drinking beer, and harassing Sonic. We followed that up with a trip to The Yard House, for more beer, some shots, and good eats. Then we hit Borders, did some wandering and coffee drinking, and headed back home.

All told, it was a darn good birthday. :D

I had a birthday on Friday, and it was pretty darn awesome.
There was a great cake, and some great, thoughtful presents, and much more time spent playing arcade games than is healthy.

This, however, is not a post about that birthday. It is, rather, a post mentioning the fact that said birthday did occur, and that a post about the birthday will be posted tonight.
