Guy Dressed as Boba Fett Plays "Hungry Like The Wolf" On An Accordian
I feel bad for this guy, only getting a few hits on youtube for such a masterpiece. Let's show this guy some Unknown:Hole gratitude and give him some hits, eh? He actually is not that bad.
Blade Runner Sequel Announced
From the press release:
Three-time Oscar-nominated director Ridley Scott is set to helm a follow up to his own ground-breaking 1982 science fiction classic "Blade Runner" for Warner Bros-based financing and production company Alcon Entertainment ("The Blind
Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, along with Ridley
The filmmakers have not yet revealed whether the theatrical project will be a prequel or sequel to the renowned original.
Alcon and Yorkin recently announced that they are partnering to produce "Blade Runner" theatrical sequels and prequels, in addition to all television and interactive productions.
My thoughts: How dare you.
Ridley Scott, you asshole. You know i'm going to spend my hard earned money on this movie that will not translate well to the screen with all the new special effects that are available. Nothing will convince me the first movie was nothing short of perfect. It took me 20 years to forgive you for the shitty naration by Harrison Ford, and now this. We already forgave and embraced you for your work on Legend.
Cocksucker.
The Best Game You Never Played: Allegiance
That's an in-game screen shot of Allegiance with the UI turned off and all settings at the highest. Not bad for a game that came out in 2000.
Allegiance is a space combat/strategy MMO. It was made by Microsoft, got rave reviews, had a great popularity and fan base, but fizzled out a short while after. It is now completely organized and run by fans of the games and servers reflect that. Not alot of people play. (sad face)
Listen: This game.. this awesome game, has very few players and is free to play. It's just like Subspace but way updated, with support for wide screen monitors and high quality sound. This is the last of the great games to have the system requirement of.. wait for it.. a joystick.
I use a Cyborg X joystick, it's mostly an overkill, but it works very well. When you look at the joystick straight on, it whispers fuck you in your general direction, because that's how cool it is. You can play this game with keyboard and mouse, but i doubt very few people do. Unless you want to play Wing Commander or Incoming!, this is the last great non-flight sim game to use the stick. Personally, i think more games should require the use of a really cool Joystick. If not for just the fact it looks really cool on my desk.
To play free click here. My name in the game is BurnedToast. I made this character last night, so if you see me on, remember i called you a pussy-fag and you blow pigs... so come kill me.

I'm drinking beer tonight gents: It's Kyle Mcclary's Birthday
I don't really know how old he is, i'll be honest, but he is younger than me and has a voracious appetite for beer. As a young man in his 30's, i do appreciate a person who has a colon-deep appreciation for a pint of suds.
If you don't like beer, then please, by all means, go fuck yourself.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Kyle.
World's Angriest Gamer Speaks Out Against DIablo III
I guess this fat guy's rant is up to about half a million hits. I guess eating cheetos and playing games will get you noticed these days. By these standards, i should be a god.
I take gaming pretty seriously and give it a go several times a year. This guy makes it his career to sit on his ass and complain that his fingers are too fat for the macros he needs to hit, and that the system requirements for the newest game do not include runs to 711 for those compressed cuban sandwiches.
Woman Makes R2-D2 Sweater, Old people interested in Star Wars come winter time
Created by Etsy user "EricaKnit", this incredible custom R2-D2 sweater is "made from merino wool for each interested buyer (or whatever type of wool they please) [and] looks particularly appropriate for wintertime cosplay."
The only way to rock out with an R2-D2 sweater is to not wear any pants at all. You have to act like a gentleman after all.

Hackers Movie HD Desktop Backgrounds (Zero Cool and Crash Override)
Click to enlarge. Both backgrounds are HD 1920x1080 resolution for widescreen monitors.
I've been sitting on these backgrounds for a while. I Founds them a very long time ago.. 2003-ish? I saved them to a CD and just kind of put them away when i had a chance to convert them to a larger format. Originally 640x480, i had to do some extensive editing in CS5 to get them scaled up and not blurry. Not very hard, but i had time tonight so i thought i would get it out of the way.
The top picture was made from a screen grab of the movie when Crashoverride/Zero Cool (Johnnie Lee Miller) is booting up his computer to hack the gibson at the end of the film. A member of the Ubuntu boards originally made it to a users request, i tweaked the colors, enlarged, and sharpened the end product. I could be wrong about whose computer this is, and i just watched the movie. This was one of my earlier creations based on source material. This background has since been widely distributed on the internet.
The bottom image was made by me. It was made from a screen grab at the beginning of the movie when Zero Cool/Crash Override is taking over a TV station. I remade this one from scratch using the gradient tool, find edges and a few clicks of the paint bucket. Johhny had icons all over his desktop in the movie, so if you want, get some shitty copeland icons from Google Images and go nuts. I have found this desktop image in different variations based on the split second image you see of his computer at the beginning. I decided to try and recreate this image the best i could really. See below:
The pictures above are screen shots of me recreating the image from a youtube video. Click to
enlarge.
The Final Product. Click to enlarge. 1920x1080
The font used in the movie was a condensed OCR A Extended, Bold. I used 18.54pt size, with no blending options used. I decided not to add the icons as some people may wish to kind of place their icons on the bubbles.
**UPDATE** For those of you who are having issues with scaling and images are not the correct size, download the 7zip package here with the original files + photoshop documents so you can play around with it.
Whorelore Seasons 1 & 2 videos.. they are something..
I really don't know what to say about Whorelore. I've watched it when Morgan first came over to my house and show it to me, and thought it was pretty cheesy, but funny, and had some really great looking girls on what appeared to be a shoe-string budget.
Included in the link are season 1, "Rogues do it from behind", and season 2, "Pirate Booty".
Link removed. Sorry guys.

More Adrianne Curry playing nerd dress up
It seems if i post just once or twice a week some pictures of Adrianne Curry all gussied up at conventions, my hits take an upward turn. So here's to you Miss Curry. You just made me .32 cents on Google Adsense.
Joysticks (1983) Movie Review
I was actually trying to find some movies that had Arcade games from the 80's in them, to get some inspiration from the book I'm writing, Syntax Error, when i came across this gem from 1983. Ironically the same year the video game industry crashed. Coincidence? Oh i think not, sir.
If you grew up in the early 80's middle school/early high school era, and you feel the need to relive the dark dingy greasy shitty arcade games from that time period, than i would say this movie would be perfect for you. If you enjoy breasts, there are some, but they really aren't even all that good. What really hot topless girl would find herself with a bunch of nerds in an arcade anyway? I've asked myself these questions for about the last hour before i wrote this review.
The movie starts off with a really good montage-mash up of kids playing arcade games and some basic credits. I'm surprised they could afford the graphic overlays for the intro credits.. seriously.
The main character is a huge nerd, made up to look like one with the glasses and mannerisms. It's obvious from the picture above that he has no idea what a pair of tits and vagina look like.
A gang soon rolls along and threatens the existence of the arcade the movie is based in. Of course, this leads to some nudity, and a challenge to "save" the arcade. I don't really know what they are saving it from. Let's assume they trash the arcade games (they don't) or they steal the girls away so more nerds wont come (they didn't) and then they buy the place (yeah right), this movie would still be pretty horrible. The games are pretty awesome i will admit.
The gang rides on this mini-bikes, and seem to be pretty into it. The girls in the background in this scene openly laugh at the gang leader as he gets into his role. Surprisingly enough, when the gang roll sup to the arcade, no one laughs and seem pretty shit-your-pants afraid.
The challenge later culminates in a showdown on a life sized arcade panel with bowling balls for arcade Joysticks, and a movie screen to play on.
Complete with a Pacman font, the arena is obviously all kinds of awesome. It's now obvious where the budget of the movie went. After this scene, the good guys won, and the gang just leaves, unsure of what to do next. Looking back, arcades seemed like the place to hang out after school. You could smoke and play video games, buy drugs and occasionally see a breast or two. My only experience with arcades has lead me to dealings with shady management and owners, theft, and a stolen merchandise ring right here out of the Edison Mall in Fort Myers Florida.
I think it's pretty safe to download this movie, considering i can't find who owns the rights to it. I'm assuming no respectable person would admit ownership of this steaming 1980's turd.
Captain America (2011) Full movie!
I really enjoyed this movie. I thought for sure it would be pretty dull, but i was wrong, i like where they went with it, and they killed Nazis. Any movie where there is "secret nazi (blank)", I'm all in. The first Indiana Jones was really good after all.

The Nostromo Arrived Today
I came home from work today to see that the Nostromo had finally arrived, after about a week in shipping hell. Don't get me started about the raptor headset; it still has not been shipped. It's being shipped by the supplier, which may have something to do with it, so that's that.
I unboxed this space-aged device from its hybernation sleeping chambers, to see this thing inside. The box is see-through with a magnetic cover to it so you can actually put your hand on it while it is still in the box, a tactic I'm sure has something to do with people wondering if it is comfortable or not. Inside the box were stickers for your computer case or whatever with the Razer logo, two manuals, and one bright green sheet of cut paper inviting you to be a part of The Cult of Razer. No I'm not kidding. It also lists all the gaming tourneys it has helped win.
One off thing about the packaging is that i did not see any driver CD or mention of a CD at all. In the manual it asks you to install the drivers, available online. That's fine, I'm just use to seeing that cool CD and case it comes in, and when I'm done with it, it can be assimilated into my collection of horded driver disks.
The software was a quick download and required a restart. It's set up pretty basic for such a high-tech thing. The entire left side of your keyboard and parts of your mouse are emulated with a snazzy, ergonomic, blue-glowing, gauntlet of game destroying power.
When I turned it on, this happened.
You can edit the layout however you may please, linking any number of buttons and combination of button presses you like. Switching macro setups between four choices lights colored LEDs on the unit in response. If you change a game, a click of the mouse can change the macros. For Warcraft players, this is a must. Different characters have different macros, setups, and spells.
Button response is great, and keys are very sensitive. I did not however take off the removable thumb pad thing that is attached to the top of the D-Pad. Other reviewers had said terrible things about it and i can contribute that to one thing: These people are pussies with small hands. I had no problem with the size or location of any of the buttons. I have to crunch my hand up a little bit to hit the first row of keys. I'm a man, and i have man hands, and i could see where having small hands may be a problem with something like this.
Gaming with it is great, everything works as advertised. There is no learning curve at all because of the way the buttons are layed out and the shape emulate the left side of the keyboard. I knew where all the buttons were before i had it out of the box. Two more things: It's bigger than it looks, would not fit on my keyboard tray.. which is not really something to complain about, i just thought it was worth mentioning. Also- i had to put a mousepad under it to stop it from sliding/lifting off the desk. It does not weigh very much and moves pretty easily.
Pros:
-It glows
-Looks bad ass on my desk
-Everything works... great
-Could possibly make me a better gamer
-Reasonably priced at around $60.00USD
-I don't think my wife likes it, which makes me smile.. often.
-Came with stickers
Cons:
-Does not glow red like everything else on my desk
-No included software, requires download
-Women and men with the hands of said women need not apply
-Is kinda big
-Slides on desk
-Does not smell like bacon
