Ok, I've got very limited time between school, work, social life and what not, but I do enjoy some tv shows ranging from The Office to Lost to Family Guy. From September to May I am bathed in the glory of having these great shows thrusted in my lap every week. Then May comes and they have their final episode and are off for the summer, which I understand, I know actors need time off, writers need to write new stuff, and so on, I don't have any problems with that or even watching the occasional rerun of some of my favorite shows. What gets me really ticked is when all of the networks give the keys to their networks to Mark Barnett (I don't know if that's his last name, but the guy who created Survivor). All that seems to come on from June to August is overly generic reality shows. From America's got talent (a.k.a. American Idol for people too young and too old), to So you think you can dance (a.k.a. So you think I'll actually watch), to Big Brother Umpteen (a.k.a. So bad I'm not gonna even come up with a witty name for it).

I understand the networks aren't gonna give us their A line-up, probably not even their B, but what would be the harm with testing the water with a new show. I mean, don't throw trash like ABC's new sitcom with the geico commercial cavemen at me, but give me a new sitcom that is up and coming or a drama that is trying to make it, but no network will give it a shot in a prime spot during the actual year. I'm not asking for a pure gold summer line-up, but I don't want something that is a turd, I'd be satisfied with a gilded turd.

One day me and my buddy we're playing MGO and I honestly saw the coolest kill I think I had ever seen. It was TDM on CUS and the enemy was camped out on the red building, and had a pretty good hold on it. We had tried everything, sneaking up the ladder while shooting from the other side, RPG's, everything except grenades. Well, I cover the top of the ladder shooting shots off to keep them away, my buddy launches a couple of grenades and then all of a sudden you see 3 of their people flying off the roof from the explosion, in like three different directions. I don't know how he managed to get a grenade to where it would knock 3 guys off at once, but he did, and to date that is the coolest thing I've seen on MGO.

That's all for this time around kids, good night and good pwning.

In about a year, one of the most anticipated games of all times is coming out at last, Metal Gear Solid 4. What the games story will be in unknown to the thousands of people wanting this game, but does this stop them from constantly coming up with crack pot theories and pretty much writing out what they want the game to be 12 months before the game will even likely come out. No.

I wonder why people on the forums here, think it is necessary to critique every single frame of the trailers. Anything from the type of gun Snake puts in his mouth, to what grave he stands at, to what type of sword that Raiden is using. Why can't people just let it be and wait for the game to come out like the rest of us. I mean I want to play this game with a burning desire as much as anyone else, but I can wait and not speculate on every plot point that might come up.

I'm sorry for this rant, but it was on my chest.

That's it for now, and I say good night and good pwning.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like ashford74.
ashford74 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could ashford74 possibly have for not rating a single film?
