2007. the worst year since 1984.

(there, edited 3 times)

I’m sure everyone is planning on writing something for new years. This is the time when everyone types paragraphs of pointless shit in hopes to see where they went wrong or struck gold.

I started to think about what I’d write and quickly decided it would be amazingly boring and a little too obvious to summarize my year. Even more boring for people to read, so instead I present my random awards for 2007.

Which are indeed just as boring and pointless to read, but far more fun for me to write, so choke on my cock you fucks.

Best game of 2007:

Super Mario Galaxy.

This year was epic in terms of awesome things to play, but Mario really took me back to the reason I started playing games in the first place. It’s simple and brilliant.

Best Xbox 360 game:

Mass Effect.

Holy fucking shit, I need to spend more time with this game but it’s already my favourite game on the system and finally justifies me owning an xbox 360 since every other game I’ve owned has let me down.

Biggest gaming letdown:

Bioshock.

Everyone was busy sucking this game’s cock and I bought a little into the hype only to be let down by how…plain everything is. No matter what people say, being able to switch from shooting bad guys to shooting lighting bolts at them does not equal innovation. The game is not bad, but I started to really not give a shit about and have not finished it since I lost interest. It sure is pretty…but doesn’t do a whole lot for me.

Best new band I started listening to:

Hammock, Caspian or Stars of the lid.

It’s a toss up. All are amazing and sound different enough from anything else in my collection to be stuck on repeat night after night. Some of those might have been from 2006. I really don't know anymore.

Biggest album letdown:

“all of a sudden I miss everyone” by Explosions in the sky.

It’s not bad I guess…but it didn’t touch me like I thought it would. Not like their previous albums which pretty much never left my CD player for months after I got them. I think this is a band in need of a change or something, or perhaps I’m still just burned out on them, whatever the reason I found this album to be a massive disappointment.

Best album:

“Post Crisis Reflection Agenda” by Moly.

Kind of a hard choice to pick just one, but this album is totally different sounding than their previous efforts and I really dig that. Also they are cool dudes and sent me a free copy, so that always helps.

Most annoying song I heard all year:

Fuckin’ hell this is a tough one. I heard some outrageously crappy songs in 2007, but I will have to go with Feist and her fucking retarded “1, 2, 3, 4” song.

Someone shut this cunt up before I beat her to death with one of the ipods she’s been trying to help apple sell so bad. I see that commercial 500 times a day and don’t really even watch that much television, how is that possible?

Stupid fucking song.

Best TV show I got into:

Dexter.

A lot of shows suck balls but this one is pretty awesome.

Best movie(s) of 2007:

I am having a hard time remembering and also choosing, so...

3:10 to Yuma and Hot Fuzz are all I can mention for now.

Best DVD release:

Blade Runner final cut 5 disc edition.

Not only does it come in an individually numbered briefcase but it includes 5 discs and numerous cuts of the film, also storyboards/set photos and even two little toys. Sure it's $65, but it is a collectors thing. More movies deserve this kind of treatment.

biggest load of shit in the movie industry:

Blu-ray and HD DVD.

What a fucking joke. The DVD format is perfect and anyone saying otherwise is a fucking goof. But no, we need HIGH DEF! so let's attempt to split the market down the middle and create a format war! whoever wins, we all lose.

Best thing I ate in 2007:

KFC on November 23. man that was good

Person I most wanted to fight:

Geoff. Nemesis. That is all.

Coolest person who died:

Kurt Vonnegut. So it goes…

Best time seeing Ryan in 2007:

The Matt Good concert. OH WAIT. THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME.

Best way to waste time in 2007:

World of Warcraft. Especially since we got some new blood in the form of Tracy and Trevor.

Runner up: Pornography. God I love porn.

Worst part of 2007, in general:

Feeling like shit for so long and having no reason why.

Weirdest person of 2007:

Stephanie. Man she’s weird.
Runner up: The rest of her family.
Other runner up: The girl at 7-11 who always asks for a high five.

Most Annoying Blog post of 2007:

This one. I typed it in word and it's giving me massive trouble with formatting. Fuck blogs.

Worst Website of 2007:

facebook. And you're all fags for like it so much.

Alright I am getting sick of this.

It’s also amazing how little of 2007 I can actually recall. I get it mixed up with 2006 easily. It’s felt like a long year, I suppose.

As for resolutions I have none because I never really do.

There are a few things I want to do for no real reason, but I am not going to share those because I don’t want to.

So bring on 2008. I am going to sodomize it and make it mine.

nothing important.

I've decided game reviewers these days are bitches.

I finished Kane and Lynch: Dead men yesterday and came away pretty impressed. It's not a perfect game, but it's incredibly compelling and has two of the most flawed/conflicted and badass main characters of any game.

It's all so movie like. One minute you're robbing a bank and shooting at cops as you run down the street to your van. The next you're repelling down a skyscraper to assassinate a dude in order to get your briefcase back.

The robbery and car chase scenes remind me a great deal of the movie "heat" which, needless to say is awesome.

Anyway, the point I wanted to make is that the game got really mixed reviews, some that were truly horrible, and yet I played through the game and enjoyed it a great deal. There were a few annoying parts, but nothing that made me want to stop playing, so I really don't get what the deal is here.

The story and characters were awesome (truly the reason I kept playing) but the gameplay was solid as well.

I know reviews are really just opinions, but still, it's annoying to see a game like this get so beat up, which forces most people to simply not even try it.

Or maybe it really does suck balls and I'm the crazy one.

Either way. OVER AND OUT.

I got things I don't need to fill my empty life.

Well it's Christmas, all negative thoughts aside, I had a pretty good few days. Just got back from my Aunties for the big family gathering and it wasn't too bad. I stuffed myself silly.

time to list the loot I received:

for games I got: Mass Effect, Kane and Lynch: dead men, Guitar Hero 3 (wii), Ghost Squad, Medal of honor Heroes 2, and Hellgate London.

other stuff includes: the matrix trilogy, 4 Jack the ripper books, an awesome new wireless keyboard and mouse and animal crackers.

Probably some other stuff but that is the bulk of it.

I brought Guitar Hero to my Aunties and it was a fucking HUGE hit. everyone was gathered around, giving it a shot. I think it was on and being played constantly the entire time I was there. It was quite awesome. I'm now decent at it, but not great. It is a fun game, and I don't usually like music based games. It gives me serious tunnel vision though, it's insane.

This keyboard is also insane. It's got a little LCD screen on it that tells me when someone is sending me a message through messenger, and actually displays it. It also tells me the date/time and even the fucking temperature in my room. Seriously. There are a shit ton of other features that I might play with later, but it's just great because the keys are nice and soft, but not TOO soft. I love it so far.

The mouse is LASER powered and has a sleek dock to recharge the mother fucker. Finally, no more running out of batteries.

I'm amazed my mom found a copy of Guitar hero 3. It's been on the news about how hard it is to find the Wii version around there parts, but she got it from some video store in Stony Plain, so that's cool.

So yeah. I got a pretty good haul.

I'm feeling a little under the weather right now. I hope I just ate too much, but I can tell my throat is going to start bothering me real soon. Fuck.

I hope all you guys had a good Christmas and also got lots of stuff you don't really need.

HOLY FUCKBALLS: part 2.....X 1000

The Dark Knight trailer

=

OH.

MY.

FUCKING.

GOD.

This is without a doubt, to me, the coolest most badass trailer ever created. I got chills and shivers the first time I watched it.

I was tempted to dissect it frame by frame to describe what makes it so awesome, but I'm pretty sure it speaks for itself.

Almost everything in there could be considered my favourite part.

"...see to them, you're just a freak...LIKE ME!"

Brilliant.

I am so gay for Heath Ledger.

THIS WILL BE THE MOVIE OF THE DECADE.

HOLY FUCKBALLS.

Speed Racer Trailer

=

holy fucking christ on a pogo stick!

I have not seen the show in years (I think I'd like to keep it that way) but when I was a kid I was a huuuuge fan.

Seeing this trailer and how fucking insane they are making it excites me like crazy. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a movie so drenched in style and colour. They aren't even TRYING to be real, they are being exactly what Speed Racer should be and that is awesome.

and mother fucking CHIM-CHIM is in it! and John Goodman! fuck!

I'm through arguing about how old cartoons and shows shouldn't be made into movies, as long as they look as cool as this.

Though I imagine this is going to attract A LOT of haters, too. what say YOU?

I'm going to watch it on acid.
