Thanks to the rag tag bunch behind EpicFU for hipping me to most of this new heap of new videos and music. I don't have cable...and even if I did, I don't think I'd be watching music videos. Do they still show music videos on MTV/BET?

But that beat is kinda hot at the end though.

The Chekov Comparison Is HilariousSo let me get this straight, in this parallel universe, Kirk never met his father and Spock's mom is fairly hot? Scotty has his own 'Jar-Jar', but an actually funny Jar-Jar? And Eric Bana has tatooes on his face as a result of waring in space for 25 years? Well Mr. J. J. Abrams, you certainly have your work cut out for you in the eyes of this viewer. As an aside, this is coming from a viewer who was not 'that big' into the original Star Trek series [grandparents made me watch every episode], but may have seen 80...err...maybe 90 percent of the movies. Much like the rest of my generation, I was a bigger fan of well...The Next Generation. What is truly unfortunate about this Star Trek is that for every 9 things it gets right, there is usually a glaring 'one-thing' lurking around the corner of its very convoluted science fiction plot. This makes this movie a great Star Trek movie, but only a good movie as a whole.

In this hustle and bustle age of worky work...I like to relax. Several forms of entertainment, from poker on riverboats, the occasional shootout at various Western re-inactment locales, but when asked; I relax with the occasional video game.
Seeing as I am a new owner of the PS3 [60 gig - back compat model] thanks to the mighty ebay, I still cannot help to be skeptical. I have had a Dell for about four or five years without any motherboard malfunctions...and even with the occasional harddrive crapping out...never had the need to replace my entire computer. How is it possible, that the more sophisiticated our hardware becomes, the higher chance of hardware failure occurs?
After the jump, I'll link a story to an unfortunate Playstation 3 user, Guesty 81, who had his PS3 die on him by simply updating his machine. What an age we live in indeed.

Movement, I am a big fan of it. I think its cool that the human brain can come up with [more ridiculous] inventive ways and methods of traveling and exploring space. We don't have a lot of time on this planet [dun dun duuuuuuuuun!], people like Theo Jansen make me [as an artist] feel guilty. Guilty, in so far as what am I contributing to society. I mean look...he is practically riding a giant spider. This is madness!
Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 9:01AM Seriously, after seeing this clip I know his new show will not have the same feel, but could [probably] be just as good. The clip is more than likely more than internet famous, but it bears watching one more time.
For Ole Times Sake

As of late there have been a fair amount of debates in the gaming community as to what game journalism is today. If this little shpeil I have on the topic serves anything, it is to commend the community for the obvious growth in order for such a discussion to even take place.

Oh how the mighty have fallen
Being in this crazy internet age...it is quite possibly the worst time to make a public mistake and not only have that immortalized amongst your circle of friends, but put on an internet site for all to see. Ladies and Gents I give you...
