Morning Cup o’ Metal

Continuing with the Rammstein theme I started yesterday, here’s “Feuer Frei” off of the band’s 3rd studio album which I have so much love for, Mutter. Some of you might remember this song from the horribly watchable Vin Diesel movie XXX. I don’t blame you for that being the only place you’ve heard it, because […]

Come to PAX get H1N1 FREE!!!

I bet a few thousand of you out there weren’t expecting to come home and get sick…much like a lot of us expo dwellers have been showing symptoms of being. Too bad, cause it seems that the PAX officials have come out with a bit of news letting us all know that there was a […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

I can still remember the first time that I heard Rammstein on the Lost Highway Soundtrack and immediately fell in love. I waited with anticipation to be able to get their first American release Herzleid and when I finally did, had that bitch on repeat for weeks. I remained a huge fan of their work […]

So PAX 2009…How was it?

So PAX 2009…How was it?

I was told by no more than 15 people that if I wasn’t at the Penny-Arcade Expo this year in 2009, that terrible things would happen to me…all of them involving very sensitive areas and feet. Well, I bit the bullet and bought my tickets for PAX like any good friend who caves in to […]

The Invention of Lying – Trailer

Looks like Ricky Gervais will finally be able to break out into the mainstream Hollywood crowd (it’s about time really) with this upcoming movie that has him, Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, and Rob Lowe living in some crazy ass reality where no lie has ever been uttered…that is until Mr. Gervais’s character finds a way. […]

Holy Shit, Disney owns Marvel

Yup it’s official, the guys at Disney have just bought Marvel and everything associated with them for the hefty sum of…4 billion dollars, that’s 4,000,000,000.00. It’s getting hard to believe this crazy-ass news, next thing you know, people are gonna be telling me that id Software is owned by Bethesda. Oh wait…it is?

Microsoft Poland, The Jokes Write Themselves

Microsoft Poland, The Jokes Write Themselves

I don’t know if any of you out there has seen this yet, but I thought I’d post it because it just made me laugh pretty hard this morning. The ad above, the one with the black gentleman sitting in the middle was an ad that was created by Microsoft when trying to sell it’s […]

Morning Cup o’ Industrial

Ministry, the gods of Industrial music + a Bob Dylan song = One of the best songs to ever come out of the industrial metal scene in almost 20 years. You’re sincerely doing yourself a dis-service if you’ve never listened to anything from Ministry, even their synthpop beginnings aren’t that bad if you frame them […]

Final Fantasy VII Remake Gets Definitive Answer

Final Fantasy VII Remake Gets Definitive Answer

The guys over at VG247 should be applauded for asking direct and difficult questions to game companies and the people who make them. They recently caught up with two of Square’s big-names at GamesCom last week and asked what everyone else has been thinking.

Xbox 360 Pricemania 2009!

Ok whores, I’ve seen tons and tons of posts all over the internet about price changes and SKUs and all sorts of other shit that Microsoft has finally come out and said that they’re doing. I’ve decided to put it all in one convenient place to help cut down on the confusion.

Morning Cup o’ Industrial

Shame on you if you’ve never heard of God Lives Underwater, did you not see Johnny Mnemonic like all good geeks who were alive in 1995? For shame!!! Anyways, GLU is the 1st band that I ever saw live in concert. It was these guys, Korn, and KMFDM all in one show. It was sensational. […]

PS3 Mass Effect on the Way?

PS3 Mass Effect on the Way?

All signs are pointing to ‘not right now’ on a PS3 version of Mass Effect. The guys over at CVG had a recent interview with the same fella who went on and on about Dragon Age: Origins yesterday and he pretty much gave us the industry standard double-talk treatment.
