At first I thought that this was real....

Look! It's not only Blackwalt that posts Borderlands stuff!

So me and Q-bert went to see District 9 tonight, right after going to greekfest and eating some nice food.

Right off the bat the movie starts out as a quasi-documentary style narrative, where certain events would happen followed by some solo commentary by various characters (kindof like the Office). What I really enjoyed was the fact that the aliens were shown almost right away, instead of hiding them throughout most of the movie and having them pop out somewhere else later on. Read more

So I finally finished watching BSG from start to finish.

I was originally going to write a long review, but you guys have the attention span of flies.

Here I go:

SFX: Very well done, especially the "blurry" Firefly camera and audio design. But the Centurion animations and rendering were generally poor.

Acting/characters: Hit a miss really. Some excellent characters were Baltar, Sing, Admiral Adama, the Cylon from Quantum Leap, and my favorite, Tom Zarek (I love his two face persona). Read more

Cool! And yes, that's Jeff Bridges.

If you pre-order it from Best Buy

Note that you can also get 10$ off Assassin's creed 2 as well.

Not sure how long this is going to last.

Why am I promoting this game? Because it was made right here in Ottawa!

Yes, it was made at a software outsourcing company called bitHeads (well, technically HeadGames, a subsidiary of bitHeads I believe).

More importantly I got a chance (twice, in February and April), to play a pre-release of this game on Xbox Dev kits and ask some of the developers questions. Hooray! Read more

Yeah, this would be awesome.

Confirmed: Perfect Dark bound for XBLA this winter

One of the best games in the past 10 years....now hopefully Goldeneye is next on the list.

In other news, which might interest Aku, Fallout 3's Point Lookout coming June 23

Hmmm, could be interesting:

"Then I just woke up before everyone else -- I was probably a bit hungover -- and I wondered if a zombie movie from a zombie's perspective had been done before."

"With help from a makeshift band of friends and volunteers, Price shot and edited the feature -- which ingeniously spins the zombie genre on it's head by telling the story entirely from the zombie's perspective -- over a period of 18 months while working nights part-time as a booker for a taxi company."

With lens flares that is.

Haha, I've been searching for this video for a while, as it reminds me of Aku.

I'll sure he'll be picking up a pair of these, but hopefully none of us are around to see it. Read more

It's that time again....

Maybe this trick should be tested on someone here....but the likeliest candidate would be me I think.

This is actually pretty scary.

Why? THe company who makes these (in Japan) is called Cyberdyne. Yeah, Cyberdyne.

And they call the suit HAL. Open the pod bay doors HAL......

Here is a video of it in action: Read more

I'll be getting this one right away for sure.... Read more
