Hitman Returns

The new buzz in film isn't about another spiderman or Mel Gibson hating on Jews, rather a film to be released soon this year. Yes, Hitman, the once infamous video game that kept players late at night doing contract killing missions and putting on disguises to get pass security. Directed by Xavier Gems and starring Timothy Olyphant, this hyped up film is to be released November 21, 2007. For those who have not played the game, the story is based around 47, the main character, engineered at birth to become an assassin for hire. 47, both his only name and last two digits of the bar code on the back of his head. We follow him as he executes his contracts and discovers his liking to a certain damaged girl. Most people are too excited for this films release, but some are saying that the film is being watered down to fit the ratings. Its originally suppose to be rated R, in which more leverage to what could be shown is available, but their curiosity to seek a wider audience in pg13, might be their undoing. As they would have to water down the entire movie, taking out some of the key elements that make this movie. If all goes well, I will see a rated, R, and can enjoy a storyline I'm familiar with. If not, I'll just go back to wathing porn, I mean reading, yea, reading...

Bush Blasting Congress?!!!!

Omg, thats what I said when I first heard. Yes, president Bush is blasting the Congress for ,"...not getting it's work done." Wow, the only thing I can say is, "what a hypocrite." Bush then follows saying, "The House of Representatives has wasted valuable time on a constant stream of investigations, and the Senate has wasted valuable time on an endless series of failed votes to pull our troops out of Iraq." Hmm, is Bush finally fighting back, but only to shove his head further up his ass. Democrats responded in a well mannered triumph, "Taking advice from President Bush about fiscal responsibility and getting things done for the American people is like taking hunting lessons from Dick Cheney. Neither is a very good idea." Oh yea, BURN!!. Two birds with one stone. Five points for the Democrats, who hooo! Yes, democrats are funny people. This is but in a line of trailing stories of how Bush is being critical of the congress or his administration, which basically says, "hey, i'm not the stupid one here." Right, and Richard Simmons isn't gay. You know, now when I hear a story about Bush touting his administration I see it as an act, a way for him to seem positive in peoples eyes. But not mine, cause I'm not blind Mr. President, and neither retarded. and yes Mr. President, "I is learning."

9 year old and Bleach

What a sad story. A 9 month old baby girl, drowned after climbing into a bucket of bleach. You can only imagine what happens next. Yes she gets a total make over, but for the worst, she comes out looking like Michael Jackson. Not what she wanted. A terrible story to follow the boy who was hit by a train. Just another series of events that lead to 1, not watching your children, and 2, not watching your children. But I guess you can't always have an eye on them, and maybe its inevitable. The problem here are the parents, one why wouldn't you have your house clean of toxic chemicals when you know small children are around. A bucket of bleach, common. Why not just throw her in a pit of rusty syringes. If you have common sense like I hope most people have, we'd know, this might not be the best thing to do. America is slipping into a pit of stupidity.

Bush Shun's His Own Administration

Bush recently stated his disappointment of his own administration with the slow reaction to the California wildfires. Wow, I think thats a first, but is this one of Bush's way's of saying, "hey, look I can be critical of my own people." Of all the things he should be critical of and of all the times to do it. What about New Orleans, or any other failure he's committed. Bush said recently, "I made a pledge, to the people of California on behalf of all Americans: We will help you put out the fires, get through the crisis, and rebuild your lives," hmmmm. Sounds familiar. Didn't he say something like that with Katrina, and that democracy in Iraq is going swell. This is just another way to deter people from criticizing him saying he's screwing up, but to him he's not screwing up, its his administration. Well maybe if we appointed people who were actually qualified to be in the positions there in now, we wouldn't have this problem, but instead he chose to pick people who graduated from the school of Jesus. If you wanna be in Bushes Cabinet, just praise Jesus. Bush also says, "Many of these brave men and women have battled the blaze in triple-digit heat. Some have worked around the clock. And more than once, firefighting teams were forced to take emergency shelter in their fire tents when threatened by approaching walls of flame." How do you know?! Were you there fighting the blaze with the firefighters, No. You were in Crawford sipping holy water out of your pimp cup. Just like when he criticized Kerry for his war record when he himself didn't even have one. Is Bush delusional, what do you think?

30 Days of Night

Alaska, a place where the sun sets for 30 days, its dark and cold, so who would want to live there, apparently vampires. This film based on a graphic novel, as are many films now, starring Josh Harnet, plots a story of vampires, not those we see now who like press, but old school vampires and we watch as they flock to Alaska for the darkness they seek. Their mission is to cut off the town and feed on the citizens, but there is a force fighting back, from sheriff Eben Olmaun played by Josh Harnet. This film, number one right now, is taking America by storm. With intense action sequences and suspenseful moments, how did you like this film?

Oh No Jello!!!

Now the Maury show, for those who don't know, is usually a show of surprises, where dads don't accept that they have a child, or people that were ugly turn out hot as hell, or people who you can't tell if their a woman or a man; but this show is different. On the Maury show, there were people scared of normal harmless things, like foil wrap, or dead chickens, or jello. Yes, these people are actually terrified and can't stand within two feet of the object without going into convulsion. Now they say their not crazy, but we might want to rethink that one. Maybe your not crazy, but your not totally normal either, common everyday Jello, what the hell has Jello even done that would have you believe its hostile, I mean last I checked, Jello wasn't part of a Jihadist group or anything, their not terrorists. And usually the best part of the show, is when Maury brings out the thing that scares that person and scares them some more, isn't that the nicest thing he could do, awesome. We can watch as the person flees in horrific fear of that plate of Jello, in all its shiny gloriousness. Is it something in the water, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Someone please explain...

Halloween O Scare

With Halloween approaching we look back on past years, the fun door to door knocking, asking strangers for candy. Its hard to believe this once holiday of all hallows eve, has become so commercialized and morphed into this holiday we see now. Sugar is the precious gem people seek now a days, and people have gone through great efforts to get it, even to ask complete strangers. The one day everyone becomes a hobo, while dressed in silly outfits. Just another way industry can make more money, like Christmas, or Easter Day. We've gone through many scares like razor blades in apples, and poop candy, but what do you expect, can you really be surprised, when your dressed up as a giant dildo, asking someone you don't know for candy, your the one that looks silly. And every year parents loosely let their kids run a muck wondering if that one stranger that's a pedophile will grab their child. What has happened to America? I can say we're going downhill, but look on the bright side, we can look fabulous going down looking like a silly pirate

Dumbledore is Gay?!!

Now like most people who heard this news, we were saying awesome and way to go, but to those mostly the Christian right think this is just outrageous and some of those people are even rejecting the idea that he's gay. What is so wrong about being gay? It's like being gay is the worst thing that someone could be or even be associated with. I'm glad this happened though cause its like a foot up the ass to anyone who thinks this is wrong. So what if J.K. Rowling is gonna loose some hundred thousand dollars, she's richer than the queen of England, I think she can afford it

Street Fighter 4!!

Omg, its here. It has been unveiled that Street Fighter 4 is coming soon. With all the hype, capcom released a trailer, with all known, Ken and Ryu. No actual game-play what can we expect. Though the trailer looks riveting and screen shots having us on the edge of our seats, will Capcom deliver or fail. In all hopes, with all the fps games out there, this arcade fighting game will make a return for the better. My Street Fighter fans will agree with me when I say ,”This game is gonna be sick!!!” Can we expect any new characters, they should.

World of Gaycraft?!!

With all the talk about Halo 3 and The Orange Box, I was surprised to find out some of my acquaintances were still playing World of Warcraft. What is wrong with them?!! From everything we’ve learned from that game being totally wack to how it is like a drug, I would’ve thought we moved on. People can’t use the excuse millions of people play it so it doesn’t make me gay. We’ll if everyone jumped off a bridge and you went off too, that wouldn’t exactly make you sane. I just don’t get it. Is it that you want to live another life or that thats just he best game you can come up with. Its not like when you purchase the game it comes with a bag of crack, which would be sweet! Isn’t it about time WOW players moved on, let’s leave this in the past and get outside. Sun will do you good, and please do bring the crack.

Cobert For President?!!

Now most of you know who I’m talking about, this comedian, actor, writer, and star of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert is running for President in the great state of South Carolina as a favorite son. What side is he trying to attract asks many. Running on both Democrat and Republican ticket will people actually take him seriously. I’m sure this is a joke, but wouldn’t it be fun to have him as president, even for one day. Starting with the Daily Show with John Stewart and making his way to starring in his own show, he is growing in popularity. With his site Colbert Nation reaching millions nationally and worldwide, can we expect his campaign to be as witty as his show. The answer, of course. He built his career on being the funny guy that people don’t take seriously, so what could he have expected. Most people aren’t even thinking about this but does Stephen Colbert have a shot?

The Orange Box!!

With countless gamers already in the mesh of The Orange Box, does it really matter? Can Valve come back and make a dint in Halo 3? The game includes Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2, the new Portal and Team Fortress 2. But with all these games in one, does it have what it takes to bring down Halo 3? Your already getting a deal for all these games for the price of one, but Valve has been in the blue for sometime and seeing as they haven’t come out with anything recently to compete with Bungie, could it mean Half Life just doesn’t matter anymore? With an impressive 99 achievement points you can receive I think we’ll see a lot of The Orange Box alongside Halo 3 players. Gamers are raving about The Orange Box, and maybe for good reason. That many games in one unit can crack one heck of a punch. More late night gaming sessions, friend get-togethers. Obviously this wasn’t as big as Halo with gamers waiting in line hours ahead to get the game, but it still stands to be quite a competitor in the FPS category. I think Bungie should release a gaming pack such as the Orange Box with the Halo’s, Marathon, Myth, and surprise us with a bonus game.

BIrth Control Pills for Middleschoolers?!!

The Portland school board is allowing middle school students access to birth control pills without permission from parents. This is as funny as it sounds. Most people are concerned this will send the wrong message, yes cause birth control pills also works like Viagra. Shocking as it may be, are middle schoolers really having sex? They’re just getting younger and younger, and maybe in the next century, parents will give their kids the sex talk after they give birth to them. The schools principle said their school identified five students out of the three hundred that were sexually active; which is pretty much everyone so lets just give them all birth control pills. We all know how gossip spreads in middle school, so lets not even start with sex. This has probably been the most random action since the Iraq War. Is giving middle school students access to birth control pills without parents knowing the right decision. Now Cindy can have sex and not tell mommy. I thought we were trying to control the population.

Transformers DVD?!!

It’s here, Transformers on dvd. Who would’a thought it would be a movie in the first place. Whether your thinking about getting this movie in hd or not, you should definitely pick it up. I’m not a big fan of Shia LaBeouf but the fact that the main storyline was there was comforting. In Transformers you’ll see all your old friends like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and the all powerful Megatron is back as well. This film was full of action and comedic interjections as well. In the dvd of course there are bonus features as how they do the magic and commentary from the director. You can also catch an animated version of the comic. This film gets an overall 8/10 and the dvd 8.5/10.

Does Hillary Clinton Have A Shot?

Barrack Obama. Jk, I love my Democrats. Yes, this Big Apple senator is making quite an impact on the campaign trail, but the question is can she be the next president of the United States? In all hopes that we want America to be unprejudiced and open minded, its not true and so we’ll always have that block in progress, that woman or even black people will head the country. I’m all for it, but I think America is just not ready for this. With such a great leader in her husband, can she fulfill these needs if president? I think Hillary is exactly what we need right now, woman and all. Just like how Kerry lost his election, I believe Hillary will have a downfall as well. Does that mean she doesn’t have a shot, not at all. If theres a miracle and America decides to step out of the box she just might be the next President of the U.S. So theGood ol’ Hillary Clinton, if there was a white woman running for president that i’d want to be it would be her, but then again she’s the only white woman running for president, aside from real question is, is America ready for change?

Silk Screening!!

My official new favorite art style is silk screening. Why you ask? Well first not only can you print clear images on shirts, fabric, pretty much anywhere you want, but its like it was professionally done. When you go somewhere and someone asks you where did you get that shirt, you can say, I made it and mean it. Silk screening is a printmaking style using a stencil. The method to going about doing this is what makes it stand out from regular stencils. From building the screen to burning the image on, it is a very tedious task that requires a bit of experience. You’ll probably go through two or three screens before you can actually get one that is half decent. The key element in silk screening is the use of chemicals called emulsion to burn the image with a bright light onto the screen. The emulsion hardens when introduced to bright light and whatever is not hit by the light remains a semi-liquid state that you can later wash off to reveal the image. Shirt that you buy from the store are mainly silk screened and is probably the best way to get a professional, and clean look without doing so much work as to cut a stencil out. If your unsure of what to do, you can check out the many site online with steps on how to silk screen, and soon you’ll be making all your clothes by yourself.

Radiohead's New Album No Price?!!

Thats right folks Radiohead is out with a new album but there is a twist to the story, there is no set price on the album. Only through their site you can purchase their album for whatever you think its worth. Is this a mistake on Radiohead’s part or part of their scheme to see who their real fans are? This not only shocked Radiohead listeners but listeners of other genres, what are they up to? I guess we’ll never know, but to me this is how all albums or rather anything should be sold. Sure it sounds good, but maybe our economy will be devastated, not that its perfect right now anyway. This has definitely become a moral question, should I purchase this without paying more than a dollar? Could you be that cold hearted, or break and find a general price for all cd’s and pay that? I wonder how much Radiohead’s gonna make with this one?

Google's Youtube Anti-Piracy System in Full Effect

Google the mega company has unveiled plan for a system to check for copywrite issues involving youtube and their users. Now that Google has Youtube and the never ending problem with copywrite Google has taken charge and come up with a system to prevent users from uploading material that not theirs. The system will not prevent you from uploading these videos to the site rather taking action after they have been uploaded. Basically Google will try and match up existing clips with original ones they have from their owners and if their is a match the video uploaded will be taken down. Sounds simple yet not perfect and I think videos with copied material will always remain on Youtube. This has already bothered the Youtube community and they’ve already spoken up on this topic. Will this system have an impact on actually vids being uploaded? I don’t think every video will be checked so its like you have a 50/50 chance of having it on there without them knowing, well unless you get your video featured or something and then it spreads. Hmm, Google and their ideas…

God In The White House

science and facts not faith and ideology. Right now the closest candidate IIf there is anything we’ve learned in the past, its that god doesn’t prove to be good at politics. Throughout history we’ve had presidents who’ve all been religious, but when will we have someone that is aside from the crowd, an atheist. When will we have someone who is behind can come up with is Hillary, but even she is leaning towards a religious campaign. What does religion have to do with politics? We’ve made the separation of church and state long ago, so why do we have to have someone leading us who believes Jesus will come back this lifetime. Over thirty percent of Americans actually believe there was an ark, now I’m not a genius or anything, but I think it was based on a moral, not actual events. If you believe that the ark did exist or that you’ll party with God when you die in heaven, you cannot be allowed to run for president. I think we need someone, especially at this time with all the chaos, who is rational and a freethinker. Wheres all the sane people when you need them?!

Picking Up Halo 3?!!

ah, the well awaited finale of a trilogy is finally here. Halo blew us away with their first release and the sequel lived up to the hype, but is Halo 3 worth your sixty bucks? You are Master Chief of course, Spartan-117 and once again humanities future is in your hands. Blasting and slashing your way through new maps and a storyline that, well can be kinda confusing. You’re fighting against the same Covenant and Flood, but of course there is a civil war amongst the Covenant that lends aid to your side. New weapons include the brute spiker, spartan laser, and there are even a new grenade, the spike grenade. A whole new add to Halo 3 is definitely the equipment you can use such as a very useful bubble shield, trip mine, and grav lift. Another big question here is does the multiplayer live up to its founding fathers. I must tell you its just as fun if not more than before. With the new weapons, equipment, and now experience marker you’ll tag your enemies up the ranks and assume the prestigious rank of General. So above all this game whether you’re getting to play the campaign or multiplayer is definitely a buy. I give the campaign a 8/10 and multiplayer a 10/10.
