Gamer Geekdom!

I don’t usually post video game related info here, but there are some really sick games coming out soon that I just have to share. I have even been a nice guy and added videos… you’re welcome.  So, here is the first post!

Rock Band 3

You’re damn right I’m looking forward to this game!  I originally bought Rock Band as a social game. You know, to try and invite paid-off people off the street my friends over to have some fun and drink some liquid refreshments.  That kinda backfired, and I was reduced to playing it with my family instead.  Who knew that a 4-year old could rock so hard on a drum kit?
But, with all the new features they added to the new Rock Band, it’s hard not to get all stoked about it!  Here’s a short list of the coolest things that it does:

  • It allows for 7 people to play at once… that’s vocals, two harmony vocals, drums, guitar, bass, and now keyboard!  The keyboard even allows you to wear it as a guitar or use it as a regular keyboard.
  • It has PRO mode!!!  This is by FAR the coolest addition!  PRO mode is, well, actually, just read this from Rockstar Game: “Go Pro. Take your passion for music to the next level: “Rock Band Pro” lets you develop real musical instrument skills through gameplay! Pro Drums supports three expansion cymbals for more accurate drum set simulation. Pro Keys features pitch-accurate keyboard performance. Pro Guitar—the flagship of the RB Pro initiative—features realistic guitar and bass performance, utilizing the new “Mustang Pro” simulated guitar controller. Additionally, Harmonix is working with professionals in the music industry to deliver to players a real electric guitar controller.”  That’s right folks, a real guitar.  Fender has actually signed on to create that guitar!

So, there you have it. Rock Band 3 is going to kick ass!!!  Oh, and here’s the video.

I suppose some would consider this old news since it happened yesterday, unless you’re a dog and since you age 7 years to our single rotation around the sun, (friggin’ aliens) this happened over a week ago for you.

There have been many a man to dawn the red cap, overalls and white gloves.

…oh god… I forgot Ron Jeremy played Mario. (pours bleach into my eyes…and yours.)

Anyway, for all you kiddies out there who remember the Super Mario Bros Super Show, you will know that there is only one true live action Mario, Lou Albano… who rapped the entire opening credits!  How many of you still know the words?!  (*Raises hand*  OOOOHHH I DOOO!!! PICK ME PICK ME!!!)

He just "accidentally" found Ron Jeremy in Super Hornio Bros

With a heavy heart I must report that the our Mario and famed WWE (back when it was WWF) wrestler and manager, Captain Lou Albano passed away yesterday at the age of 76.
Not only did he managed more than 50 wrestlers in his day but he also made many appearances in several Cyndi Lauper music videos, including “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”, “She Bop”, “Time After Time” and “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.” But we gamers, we proud and many of course remember him as the best live-action Mario of all time.

Captain Lou Albano suffered a heart attack in 2005 that left him in failing health. He passed away yesterday in his home under hospice care with his family at his side.

And we all know that Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach and even King Koopa were there with him.
The Mushroom Kingdom bows its head and sheds a tear for this loss… except for the Goombas and Koopa Troopas who can now rest easy that they will not be crushed by a rampaging Italian doped up on mushrooms and unidentified plants.

Rest in Peace Mario

Gymnastics is cool now!

As of this moment in time, my out of shape, computer programming ass really wants to go jump off a wall.  I just watched this video and I swear it was like watching a Martial Arts movie and coming out of it saying, Yeah I can do that.  Damien Walters is the guys name and he is the most insane gymnast I have ever seen.  He does stuff I didn’t even think were humanly possible.

Please Scare Me

The newest movie to receive the tag of “scary” and other variations of word comes out to quite a few theaters today. Taking its work to a level similar to that of Diary of the Dead, Cloverfield and Blair Witch, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY uses the style of home video footage to bring you a raw and grainy film experience.
I was not one of the fortunate to see the screening, but Annalee Newitz over at io9.com had this quote after her viewing.

“At the theater where I watched a preview of Paranormal Activity last night, somebody ran out of the auditorium and threw up. It was that scary. And the most terrifying part isn’t what’s “paranormal” – it’s the normal, everyday realism.”

Check it out.  It looks like I’ll need to head toward Boston or Danvers to see it myself.

I really hope this thing scares me. No one else has stepped up to the challenge.

Take what yeh can… Give it all to me.

Everybody loves pirates… well except those on the recieving end of piracy, but I am willing to bet that some of them, dare I say MOST of them (gasp!) took a step back afterward and thought “Zowwie!  I just got robbed by a Pirate!  Neat!”.
Now, when I speak of Pirates, I am of course referring to the ones we truly love.  The romance, the honor, the swords clanging on the deck of a ship in battle, cannons, parrots, black powder guns, peg legs and fancy hats.  Not these generic terrorists-who-stole-a-boat types with their fancy automatic guns and their RPGs (which I have never heard of.  They could at least bring a long Elder Scrolls, D&D, Ravenloft, or dare I say… Chrono Trigger?!).  Hell, not one of them wears a fancy hat!

So, a long time ago, around July, Middlesex Village Trading Company, a current dealer for black powder firearms posted a notice for a video contest and hundreds of thousands of millions of people responded with billions of video entries.  BILLIONS I SAY!  (shock!)  Below you will find the entry that yours truly had a hand in creating and filming.  You can’t really see me because I’m the one hiding in the puddle holding the treasure down.  I can hold my breath for a really long time.  Just like a Llama.

So check out the video and if you like it, click the little vote button below it and submit via your email.  Take note that you can vote once per email address.  Wink wink.  Nudge Nudge.  Hint Hint.  (Threaten!  GASP!)

CLICK THE BUTTON TO VOTE!  NOW!

HA!  I LIED!  CLICK ME INSTEAD!
