I’m gonna make a shocking admission: most overweight people, including those as heavy as myself, know exactly what they’re doing wrong. It takes all of 10 seconds of reflection to see it: wake up, have a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast; eat a burrito and a soda for lunch; and then maybe some pizza or Carl’s Jr. and a hefty beer for dinner. All of this is of course accompanied by a strenuous day of little to no physical activity. Eight hours spent sitting in front of a computer at work followed quickly by a couple hours spent sitting on the couch at home. Maybe, if you’re feeling spry, you’ll pick up a controller and play a game, or god forbid, go out and see a movie (sit for two hours and watch a giant TV). At this point, the key to losing weight looks pretty damn obvious. Read the rest of this entry »

Sexism, hooo!! AskMen.com ranks the top 10 things only men can do. Sure, they may have made some interesting arguments I’d never thought of before, such as their number one, and there’s the tried-and-true argument of number three, but you know, my absolute favorite has got to be number two. For sure.

That’s all I really had to say. You’ll have to look elsewhere for the story. I just take joy in his pain.

4. Gordon Freeman (Half-Life Series)

Gordon Freeman is just your average MIT graduate with a degree in theoretical physics with a boring job at a top-secret defense facility. Until one day, he opens a portal to a different dimension and lets hundreds of thousands of aliens free on this world. While the other scientists cower and hide, Gordon Freeman says, “Fuck, now I’ve gotta kill all these damn aliens.” And then he does. Bad Ass Rating: 7

A remake of the 70s screen adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel The Andromeda Strain appeared on A&E. I’ve read the book a couple of times, and I loved the movie. I was a little excited to see how they’d modernize the story. Low expectations and good source material prepared me for a decent viewing. WRONG. Read the rest of this entry »

In case you haven’t seen or heard of Mirror’s Edge yet, you have to check it out. Moving platforming to a first-person perspective is novel, but not quite innovative. By making the main character a parkour badass, the game does take things to a whole new level. Imagine playing Mario like this. Sure, you scoff at how silly this sounds. But consider the side-scrolling game that made the first-person shift popular in the first place. Official trailer after the break. Read the rest of this entry »

Really, this post is me simply explaining why I haven’t been so active online these days. Quite simply, I’ve been dicking around with my new iPhone 3G. I figure, hey, may as well make use of this time, so I’m posting a review, like millions of other bloggers out there. Short and long of it: the thing is awesome. Read the rest of this entry »

Every once in a while I like to fart around on DeviantArt. Most of the people on there are photoshop junkies or just people with cameras taking nifty shots of not much artistic importance (I’m the latter). But occasionally, you find somebody who has a distinct style and does a good job of executing something somewhat unique. I’ve been checkin’ out some of *vhm-alex’s stuff and I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. Even though he uses the same style and techniques on just about every production, he manages to still have range, from the hardcore badass metal stuff, like “Hellbound” (seen above) to something with a colorful, whimsical quality, like “Minerva.” Anyway, check his work out, it’s pretty cool.
