While I'm waiting for the now pretty crappy Sunday night Animation Domination to start I decided to post a blog about some stuff. Oh and I say AD is kinda bad now becuase King of the Hill is gone so I only watch Simpsons and American Dad.
First thing is I rented the game Saw based off the never ending movie series. Seriousally their already writing a 7th and planning an 8th. It's never going to end.
So overall the game is sort of a let down, but it's not. I didn't expect much to begin with and it didn't deliver much, but overall is was OK. The comat system is really the only very very bad thing, prouble the worst combat system ever. Basically the plot is you playing Detective Tapp (the black guy from the 1st movie who got his throat slashed) and walk around an abandoned asylum saving these people that hurt you in some way, kinda like the 3rd film (or mabye the 5th I cant remember). Along the way you run into minions, crazy dudes who want to rip you open to get a key inside you to escape. The puzzles in the game are pretty fun and you have to think at some points, and use certain perspectives. That part I enjoyed. But the few glitches in the game also made it semi-hard such as not being able to use your health packs super easy. I beat the game in 3 days and I didn't even play it much on the 2nd day due to being stuck on a hard part, but the other two games I did play alot so I can say the length isn't half bad. Overall the game is just a attempt to try and make the movies look better, which it doesn't because the movies aren't great, despite me seeing them all and planning to see the 6th in two weeks. Deffiently don't buy the game but if you're bored and feel like spending $7 or whatever then rent it. 6/10.
So ten years ago a show called Oz about a prison appeared on HBO. I never saw it or knew about it until last year when I saw Christopher Meloni from SVU was in it. But for a few months it's aired on that 101 channel on Direct Tv. When the first episode aired I gave it a shot and wasn't to impressed but kept watching. By the fourth episode or so I saw it had potenital. By the end of the 1st season (only has 7 episodes per season except Season 4) it was great. Now 101 has aired all of Season 2 and the third episode of Season 3 is tonight. The show, while explicit, shows the truth about prison life (which I don't know firsthand) and the writing and acting is great. It shows all the groups such as the Aryain Brotherhood, and those others ones I can't remember and how they don't get along but are sometimes forced to. But the show is deffiently well written and I'm going to keep watching the rest of the seasons. I dont really know if anyone should check it out now since there's alot of characters and its about 17 episodes in, but if you can rent the dvds (I checked their on Netflix) or buy a episode or two off iTunes, see if you like it.
Last thing is the Shadows Fall album Retribution came out not to long ago. I have enjoyed the band for awhile but they've never shown their full potential. But this album is just 100% kick ***. Every song is great and there's a perfect mix of heavyness, softness, and the pure sweet sound of metalcore. If you listen to any song, listen to Embrace Annihilation. My Demise, War, and King of Nothing are the other best ones, but like I said the whole album is great. One of my favorite albums this year, 10/10
"Sad Supernatural Guest Star"
First thing I have to say is that my favorite show (next to Simpsons of course), Supernatural has pulled one of the ballsiest moves I've ever seen.
http://www.tv.com/story/17100.html?tag=side;most_commented_stories
Im not sure if the link works, but in case it didnt, they have got Paris Hilton, worst person in the world, to appear on a episode this coming season. Bad? Very Bad? Mabye not.
Trust me, I hate Paris as much as everyone, her acting, her attitude, that stupid ******* dog of hers, and even that new MTV special. But, getting her to appear on Supernatural might be a good thing. Now, sorry if I happen to affend any fans of hers, but I dont really think there are many on here. As horrible and stupid as she is, shes very famous. Supernatural only averages 3 million viewers, which isnt bad for The CW but still isnt good. I remember they got Tricia Helfer back in Season 2 and that helped the ratings alot, for that episode, but the episode wasnt the best so not many new viewers stayed. But mabye Hilton will bring in some new viewers who will stay, and that can bring a better possibility of a Seasoon 6. Not to mention the plotline for the episode isn't really that bad. Sam and Dean discover a demonic thing a ma jig is pocessing Paris Hilton (so yeah, shes playing an evil version of herself), and that seems funny. Plus, being a horror show, there's a possibility of her dying, which, along with Jared Padalecki and Elisha Cuthbert, made House of Wax watchable. So before Supernatural fans freak out, I think they should think of the long run. But I would still rather her just not be on the show, they should get some good famous person, like Seth Rogen! The episode is American Idol and airs Oct. 8. On a lighter note of the show, the episdoe that airs before it Oct. 1 has the 2nd best title of the show ever "The Douchebag of Oz" which is 2nd only to last Seasons "Chris Angel is a Douchebag" He really, really is.
"Digital Copy Help"
Speaking of Supernatural, just curious to any US residents who have the Season 3 dvd, how do i use my digital copy? It didnt come with a paper thing like Harold and Kumar did, and I dont see anything about it on the box, but the season should have it. I can just burn the show onto my computer but Im guessing the digital copy would have a smaller video size, so just asking. Im apparently just not very good with digital copies or something, the only dvd I've gotten with it was Harold and Kumar 2 and at the time the computer I had's dvd drive was messed up so I couldnt use it, so I stupidly thought if someone put it on their computer I could transfer it with a flashdrive, but of course due to copywright laws it can only go to one computer. Go figure. So I just burned both Harold and Kumar movies onto my new laptop in revenge! No one call the government on me! Its just for private use haha!
"Memories of Monk, Part 1?"
So over the next few blogs, I might mention more of Monk here and there, simply because I have warning that its ending, so unlike most shows which you dont find out until later, I can actually write a few things about it. So today I just happened to find this article, which basically suggests that Monk made USA (channel) what it is today. Since I've only really watched the channel for a few years (by the way, Monk and Psych are how I found the channel) I guess I cant say thats true because I dont know, but if it is, I really, really owe Monk, because USA is actually my favorite channel with Monk, Psych, Law and Order: SVU, Criminal Intent, and all their great movies. Not only that, their actually good to their shows, which most cable networks are, but that matters to, because their not just having them because they want ratings and money, FOX! Here's the article:

"Dirge Within"
I also want to mention a new metal band I happened to find. A label website had a free download of the song "Force Fed Lies" by a band Dirge Within, from their upcoming debut album "Force Fed Lies." So basically their a band that isnt going to be well known, at least right away but the song was great, similar to brutal Lamb of God. Their debut album comes out Sept. 1 but I found the whole album leaked so I got it. I gotta say that aside from the title track, so far the 8/12 songs I've heard arent super heavy, more like metalcore with singing and slow parts, but Im really enjoying the album. Deffiently gonna try to buy it if I can find it when tis released.
"FOX Hurts the "King" (of the Hill)"
Another thing I want to say is, as you know, or will in two seconds, FOX cancelled King of the Hill so they can bring more Seth MacFarlene piece of crap comedy, but there has been six episodes produced that would have been part of Season 14, that FOX was going to air, to give the show a proper send off, even though thats not really a send off, but its more than most shows get. But now, FOX decided it rather have reruns of stupid **** so they wont be airing, them, instead they will air a 1 hour episode thingy on Sept. 13. The other four episodes will supposedly air in syndication, but I doubt it, but theres also a possibility that Adult Swim will air them. But the descriptions of the last two episodes FOX will air are here, and neither seem like a proper series finale. So I guess 12 years dont mean **** to FOX, I cant wait to see how they end The Simpsons, mabye they'll put together some great 10 minute clip show and air 4 new episodes in one night, cause their so loyal. Once again, **** you FOX.
Episode 254: The Boy Can't Help It
Bobby becomes quite the ladies' man when several girls in his class consider him a potential date for the Homecoming dance. When he realizes the girls are just playing with his emotions and are not really that interested, he asks his pal Connie to the dance.
Episode 255: The Honeymooners
Hank is shocked when his mother announces she is marrying a man she has only known for a few weeks. Soon after, the newlyweds celebrate by purchasing an RV and heading to Hank's. When Hank's mom and new stepfather have a heated argument, she takes off with the RV and Hank is left to rescue his mother once again.
"My Most Watched Movies (By Guessing)"
Since I dont really keep track of the number of times I've watched videos, I dont have a set amount, but I got a pretty good guess of my most watched movies, in no particular order.
The Butterfly Effect: Watched it almost every week for a few months back in 2006 when I got the DVD, and numerous times on FX cause tv sucks alot.
Shrek: Used to watch it alot when it first came out for some reason, havent watched it in years but Im sure its somewhere near the top.
Stephen King's "IT": When I had a VHS copy of it (yes VHS) I watched it a good bit, and its been on TV a good amount of times. Plus I've watched it for years since its so old, I really need to get a DVD version.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle: Not only numerous times on Comedy Central and TBS, but the DVD alot in the past two years.
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay: Just a mere week after the DVD release I had it memorized, still pretty much do by the way. Oh and Im watching it now on my laptop. Kumar: "**** you, donuts are awesome!" Harold: "Their delicious!" At that part right now.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin: Mostly on tv cause for some reason I still dont have the DVD but I have memorized the tv version and seen the dvd a good bit also. At the top of my favorite movies list.
South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut: Not to much on tv cause its hardly on and when it is its in the middle of the night, but I had the DVD are watched it every week, then bought it off iTunes so I gave the DVD away, then deleted it off my computer cause I needed room (old laptop, new ones just fine by the way) so now I dont have it at all and havent seen it in a good while, but I prouble still remember it.
Also watched The Simpsons Movie, Futurama: Bender's Big Score, The Amityville Horror (remake), and Red Dragon alot.
I'll post more sometime soon if theres anything interesting.
