Generally speaking, the density of posts made this year has been lacking of lustre, I mentioned this to Balai recently and he pointed out that I was the source of a significant percentage of last year's blog-related content, and that I had been slipping as of late. The trouble is that there hasn't been any big news lately, at least not any I feel inclined to talk about, there have been a couple of minor things here and there though. So, how to overcome this obstacle? Just talk about severall minor things in one go instead! Or talk about kittens for three paragraphs, either way.
-> I, like Myke, saw The Unborn yesterday, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you thank your associated deity. It isn't scary or anything, just really, really bad. Half way through I had started to wonder if I had actually walked into the wrong screen, I wasn't watching a horror film, I was sitting in a documentary on this arsehole.
-> Lately I haven't been keeping up with Xbox Live Marketplace content as much as I normally do, so I'm probably about to start talking about old news, sorry. I played the Dark Athena demo yesterday and, well, it wasn't bad it just... it just didn't suck me in. This is an unequivocal tragedy, I have enjoyed the Chronicles of Riddick films thoroughly thus far and a good game based on them would be nice.
-> He may make claims to the contrary but Myke is most certainly not a man, there are a few pre-requisites (three of them to be exact) you must meet before being allowed entry into this exclusive club, these standards he doesn't live up to.
-> Back to some old news. Lost Planet 2. Yes please. That co-op footage looks like it will be a riot. I never played the Colonies expansion pack for the first Lost Planet, but the Akrid hunter mode certainly sounded great, if they include that mode in the sequel then I'm sold. Not familiar with Akrid hunter? Let me fill you in: one player is a giant death insect, everyone else dies.

Porphyric Hemophilia
Checking out the latest news as I do, and some archaeologists have recently dug up a female skeleton with a brick lodged in her jaw. The article claimed it was because of medieval ignorance to how diseases spread. I'm completely fine with medieval ignorance. If it weren't for their ignorance, we wouldn't have all this folklore. Without that folklore, we wouldn't have such genius films as Lesbian Vampire Killers.
Anyways, I thought I ought to tell you that I have been wearing slippers all day. Interesting little fact there. Oh and I watched The Unborn yesterday. Now, I'm not going to completely slate the film... but it was terrible. I mean, as a film it was ok, but it tried to take itself as a horror. In a good horror film, you aren't meant to see the scary thing. If you do, it must be nanoseconds. Sorry for the spoilzors here, but toward the end of The Unborn it started to feel like a Jewish version of Ghostbusters. Without the funny.
Unless you lust after Odette Yustman like a horny dog after your favourite pillow, then I wouldn't suggest seeing it. Oh, and the dog the rabbi sees is so adorable! I want one. One with it's head upside down, that was cute. Ye gods I'm sounding like a girl... I once bent an iron beam like the ones that make up the internal structure of skyscrapers. Also I can bite a hole in the Yellow Pages. Oh yeah, I'm a man. Ignore anything Iced says in later posts.
War out guys!

A distrubution of wealth
Not real wealth mind you, just that silly fake wealth. Sorry.
As a designer/writer/programmer/anything else working on a video game that features an entire layer - Video games are a lot like onions you see, not cakes - comprised solely of pop culture references, I feel it is my duty to accrue a vast knowledge of things that are "now" and "happening". Not all of these "hip" treasure troves are game related, so please forgive me if you can't bare to be exposed to non-interactive content. Now, allow me to unload a few entries from my mental Rolodex of things that are good upon you.
I, and I'm sure various other people, saw Gran Torino yesterday, a film that to my chagrin had nothing to do with Gran Turismo. It took me a while to get into it, but in the end I ended up really enjoying it, there were several moments that are absolutely fantastic, including one where an old-as-the-hills Clint Eastwood gives a young gang member a lesson in fuckology, the first rule of which is: "Don't mess with Clint Eastwood".
If The statistics are correct, and I have no reason to believe that they aren't, if you know what the Internet is, you have also heard of The Adam Carolla Podcast, but I thought that I would mention it, just in case. Speaking of podcasts, the Penny Arcade & Co. Dungeons and Dragons podcast has returned, but once again, you probably already know this. I'm ashamed to say that I bought into the whole "DnD sounds dumb" school of thought until the first round of these podcasts emerged, but now I really, really, want to try it. And yes guys, that was a hint.
That is all for now, I made a post yesterday that mentioned Command and Conquer but didn't make my "song of the day" a Frank Klepacki one so I've decided today's will be. Protip: hovering over song quotes at the end of my posts reveals further, exciting details.
