Amazing.

Nope, that is all.

So... is this... a PSA?

Too much sexy can kill and it could happen unexpectedly at any moment. Even during the riveting mine-themed finale of your sexy music video.

So... is this... awesome?

They keep talking about the wish master. That seems okay. The story in the video seems to be about some LARPers who are competing in their own made up version of Legends of the Hidden Temple. I don't know if that's awesome. Of course, they might not be LARPers at all, they might work at Medieval Times. If that's true, this definitely isn't cool.

I guess my biggest hangup is the fact that the band is sort of like a ... well, they're a heavy metal choir. Neither of those things seems particularly awesome to me. Metalocalypse is pretty awesome, but that's sort of making fun of heavy metal. And choirs aren't very awesome at all. But there was that choir that did a capella video game themes. That was cool. And the children's choir that did "Still Alive" was pretty impressive.

Damn. I'm just really not sure. Help me out here. I really need to know if this is awesome.

Beastwars!

I think I love this show more than regular Transformers. No, I know I love this show more than regular transformers. This video get's really awesome/weird, really quick. Check it:

Take a Deep Breath

Well, APB is nearing completion so I will soon go from hype mode to "you've gotta buy this game" mode. Mind you, there is the huge let down: they said "no required subscriptions and no microtransactions." What that really meant was "free access to the social district and customizers (with purchase of the game) but yes to required subscriptions to access the action district (i.e. where you actually play the game/unlock 95% of the customization content) and yes to microtransactions if you want to send a friend anything." Ugh, their business model is total bullshit, but they got really quiet after the community at large took a flaming shit on the announcement. Even the beta community flipped and a huge number of players disappeared from the forums and the servers (and the beta community is supposed to be composed of players they have "in the bag"). I am still holding out hope that Real Time Worlds won't be total dick masters, but I'm also realistic. Change probably won't happen for months after release if change happens at all. Oh well. Life continues.

And so, moving on, I can't possibly let you guys get away without me hyping up yet another game. Man, I have a bad track record for my games right now. Stalker -- complete let down. Spore -- interesting but not what I hoped for. APB -- awesome game but the company just lied their asses off about the business model. So here's the next in my failure train: Guild Wars 2.

A couple of us have played the original GW. I dug it for being sort of MMOish while having an unusual and exciting combat system (somewhere between real time FF tactics and collectible card games). Well the second game purports to be even more MMOey, more immersive storywise (which the first one was insanely groundbreaking for in terms of creating an ongoing storyline in an MMO), more interesting mission and group dynamics, still no monthly fees, blah de blah de blah.

Rather than me tell you about it, just check out what the designers are saying themselve: here

Now, having read that article, their goals are literally flying up in outer space right now, possibly attempting to collect one of each color of power ring. It's totally insane. And while I, for the sake of my own sanity, expect that they can't possibly live up to all of their plans, if even some of these elements make it into the final game, then it will make for a really solid game. GW was great, so, hopefully GW2 will be even better.

Okies, that's it for now. Expect to hear from me around the beginning of July when APB drops. Oh and Fabe is having a bar mitzvah or a wedding or something around then too. I'm sure we'll talk about that at some point as well :D. Alright gents. Talk to you soon.

Cutting and slicing pig parts for the glory of Great-swords.

What gets me is that of the things they kill in the video, the most satisfying part comes at lunging at a balloon with a big fucking sword.

This is pretty tragic...

ALLY HILLARIOUS!!!!

No this really is pretty horrible, but I just can't stop laughing.

"BLOCKS KEEP FALLING and you need to GET THE MEGA BOOST!"

I don't know about you guys, but this pretty much sums up gaming for me.

*puts hands on head in amazement* WHAT!?

Oh my god. We all have to see this movie. Rodriguez... you've done it again.

Sorry, I couldn't embed this time. SO WATCH IT THROUGH THE LINK DAMN YOU.

Oh, and here is the smaller, softer version of video for lady-like internet connections.

Q Beezy originally showed me this and now I present it to you.

"I'm not worried about the black birds; they're not the dangerous animal. It's the human species that's the dangerous, menacing, and terrifying animal."

Yeah, but the birds have a scary theme song and it looks like they sometimes just fly into something and explode...

Tom Baker, has anyone ever told you, you are amazing
