Hey everyone, just wanted to tip you all off to a hilarious movie I watched recently. The movie is called 'Fanboys' and for anyone who likes Star Wars, and even Star Trek for that matter, should make an effort to see this movie! I guess it was in limited release earlier this year but we never saw it in theaters around here. I rented it on my Xbox and I'm glad I did! Now I've been trolling the movie stores looking for it but I will likely come back to the internet as I so often do.

So the premise of the story is that a bunch of Star Wars fanboys, circa pre-Episode 1 release, decide to travel to Skywalker Ranch and steal the script/movie. Needless to say, they are across the country so there begins a road trip of hilarity and reference laden comedy. I couldn't stop laughing through this movie, almost everything could be related to some reference to Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Right down to the subtle remarks in dialog that most over look. So I cant emphasize enough how much you should watch this if you are a Star Wars fan. You'll be glad you did!

Hey everybody, I'm back again. Been a little while since my last post, but a lot's happened since then. Let's see, first up....I bought a new car, which is awesome and I am very fortunate to have. Also, I have my own place now, an apartment. I was really hoping I could snag a house with the weakened economy but unfortunately I simply don't have the capital needed for buying a house. Maybe next year :-/

Anyways, I've played a few games since last time too. I plan on writing some reviews for those and posting them on here so stay tuned.

Hey everybody, back again. Been a while again I know, but I've been busy with work and whatnot. Anyways, I did find some time to play through Resident Evil 5 so I thought I would copy my review over here for those of you who may happen to read it. Enjoy....

So I'll start off by saying it's a beautiful game. Very good graphics, except for some of the face animations, in my opinion. The dialogue is what you expect from a RE game, but the story actually provides a very interesting chapter in RE lore. Actually, its a pretty integral part of the RE lore I would say. The controls are a bit sluggish to get acclimated to but once you do it seems to fit pretty well. It's probably an improved version of RE4 control wise, I say that not having played RE4 for more than a couple minutes. That being said the game play is good, and what makes the game shine is it's co-op. I doubt this game would be half as good if it weren't for the co-op option. The way the game play is set up for two people is smooth and doesn't really feel forced at all. The item interaction between players is smooth as silk too, exchanging, giving, and combining items. If you stand next to one another when you use first aid it will heal you both, if one of you is in danger of dying you have the option of helping your partner with either first aid in your inventory, or if you don't have any, a generic adrenaline shot that will get you moving enough to get the heck out of there. There are a lot of boss fights too, and a healthy amount of parody in game play. For instance, you play one section of the game shooting from a moving Hummer, one section from a boat.....plus there's some stuff towards the end which is really cool, so I wont spoil it yet. The last leg of the game, the final boss fight, was pretty long and towards the final segments was getting a little monotonous. However, that isn't enough to mar the game overall.
I took a look at what was left after the game was beaten and well, you get to keep all of your weapons and the upgrades you applied to them in your previous game, SCORE! Plus there are all sorts of secrets you can purchase with points you've accumulated through you play through and a lot of them is free at first. Like, costumes, figurines, camera filters (grainy horror film view anyone?), and if you fully upgraded a weapon in your play through then you have the option of buying unlimited ammo for it. Also, there is a multi-player mode called Mercenaries which I haven't played but sounds like a zombie version of GoW 2's horde mode. Online there is a VS mode you can download, but I think that costs a little extra, I don't know much about that but its likely just what it sounds like.
All in all, I would highly recommend this game to anybody. Especially if you have a co-hort, wife, sibling, roommate, etc. to play it with you. I missed RE4 but after playing this one I just may go back and play that one, but with all the incentive to play RE5 now with the weapons and extras, I may just run through it again. But really, get this game guys, or at least try the demo, which also happens to be co-op too.
