Batman: Year One Review

Batman: Year One is not my first graphic novel revolving around the “caped crusader”, but it did make me aware of how Batman came to be. I gained most of my Batman knowledge through the various films throughout the years, but they all seem tame in comparison to Batman: Year One. The novel is dark and gritty and it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t have at least one flaw, even Batman. Whether the pain is emotional or physical, Batman: Year One really reminds you that Batman is just an ordinary man putting the weight of a city on his shoulders.

Skate 2: Captain Cannoli > Superman

Below is the first video uploaded from Skate 2...It proves that I am better than Superman and a ride into the sunset. Linkage: Skate Reel ...don't expect anything amazing from this video. It's really just a test video, but I still find it "short, but sweet".

Skate 2: Now Featuring Force Push

This is what happens when physics go crazy in Skate 2. The game turns into the Force Unleashed!

Skate 2: Time is Money

Skate 2 is scheduled for release on January 22, 2009...yes, that's today. I woke up this morning to see that there is already some DLC for the game and it's called "Time is Money Pack". This DLC pack will set you back 400MS points and all it does is unlock everything that you can unlock by just playing through the game, thus the name. I thought that EA may have stopped with this crap after the NFS games and The Godfather debacle, but it seems that they still want to charge you for your laziness. I guess I can't really be too upset with them, it's not like they are forcing anyone to buy the pack. Touché EA.

Reaper Returns

One of my favorite new shows last year was Reaper, but no one watched it and essentially the Reaper died (is that possible?). There have been rumors that the show may return mid-season if there was room and I'm happy to say that Reaper will return on March 17th (which is a Tuesday)! I'm glad that the show is being given a second chance and I really hope people actually take the time to watch it, or it will just end up dying once again.

If you're not quite sold on the show, or the idea behind the show...look below and tell me that's not awesome!

SMT: Persona 4 - True Ending

I recently got around to finishing the game earlier today and it was nothing short of amazing. This video is really only for those of you who managed to get the true ending yourself...unless you don't mind spoiling the hell out of yourself. Back to the point...below is the true ending to one of the best games I've ever played. Persona 4 is the best game of 2008 without a doubt for moi.

It's Always Sunny When You're a Hobo

Yet another clip from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I can't help myself and the fact that I've become borderline obsessed with the show recently. Here is another clip that I personally find hilarious. This clip may not work in a few weeks due to Hulu taking down a majority of the episodes, but there's always hope eh?

Another Song From Dr. Horrible

I couldn't find this song on Youtube, which I am blaming on the fact that this particular song doesn't have a bit of "humor" in it. It's one of my favorites and you should give it a listen...Enjoy.

And if you are wondering...the song is called "Penny's Song". 

A Random Bat to Smack Your Cat

You expected me to say "Smack That Ass" didn't you? I'm sorry, but this bat is only licensed for feline and other "small animal" beatings. A random package came in the mail today and inside was this lovely cat-killer bat. I still don't know how I managed to get this limited edition GTAIV bat, but I honestly don't care. There are supposedly only 2000 of these bats in existence and I'm proud to own one of them. I would also like to take this opportunity to say that while this bat can easily kill a human being, there were no animals harmed during the writing of this post.

Audiosurf

I know that I am rather "late to the party", but I have always been rather avoidant of digital distribution. The holiday sale on Steam seemed to have changed my fragile little mind. I ended up buying 7 games for the low, low price of $35 and I couldn't be happier. One of the games I ended up buying was Audiosurf purely based on all the good "cooler talk" I've heard around this place we call the internet.

The game is absolutely brilliant and a must for anyone who enjoys music of any genre/style. Audiosurf seems so simple, yet I have a hard time trying to explain exactly what you do in the game. It essentially takes any mp3(other audio files are supported) that you have on your computer and creates a track for you to "ride" on. The object of the game is to get the highest score possible by hitting colored "blocks" and matching 3 or more of them. The game changes based on the character you use and this is where I find things get harder to explain(at least in a short post).

I'm not here to explain Audiosurf. I'm only here to tell you that it's awesome and you should at least try out the demo to see if you like it. I only paid $5 for the game, but I would gladly pay the regular $10 for it as well.
