*Howl*

HOLY MOLY IT'S A REMAKE OF THE LON CHANEY, JR., WOLFMAN!!!!!

This was my favorite movie in the world as a tiny little kid, I think I probably watched it so many times our VHS tape wore out. Oh and I have it on DVD now. This could be a travesty or it could be so very, very awesome. Only time will tell...

Why mega-gamers suck

I was just on Amazon.com (the world's best store) and I happened to notice Halo 3 listed. It's not even out yet and it has a four-star rating. I hate anyone who rates a product that has yet to be released, so that's not why hardcore gamers suck. This is: what really gets under my skin is the firestorm that shows up if someone leaves a comment saying they don't like the game.

"OMG noob ur such a noob halo liek teh best gam ever lol!!11"

Half of it's that kind of keyboard vomit, the other half is people on their preachy high horse talking about how Halo is the best game series ever, revolutionary, will bring death and destruction on Sony's games, blah blah blah.

Revolutionary?

I played Halo when it first came out, and it was far from revolutionary. The storyline's a mix of Doom and the X-Files, and while it may be a great console shooter, graphically and control-wise it's inferior to PC games years older than it. It plays like Quake 2 did. I don't hold these things against the game, just the idiots who spew out the bullshit accolades.

So sorry boys and girls, I don't think Halo 3 will be bringing the pixelated nirvana you're so convinced it will.

In other news, I can't wait to see Spider-Man 3 but I'm too swamped in final projects to take a break. Hopefully it'll have a real long theater run and I can see it on the big screen after I'm done with school.

Song of the night is "It Doesn't Matter" by Alison Krauss and Union Station. Beautiful.

Heaven and Hell

It's official: Thursday, May 17th, I'm going to see Black Sabbath and Megadeth in concert.

Sabbath is fronted by Ronnie James Dio, not Ozzy, of course, and while I wish I were seeing them with Ozzy I'll take what I can get. Plus it's only 50 dollars! Megadeth will be the real draw here for me. Dave Mustaine can be whiny sometimes but his awesome, metal god status is unquestionable. Cue excitement!

This is the second awesome metal concert my friend Matt, whom I met in Italy, has gotten tickets for and let me in on. He's the man.

But now I must get back to schoolwork, it isn't over yet.

Song of the day is Megadeth's "A Tout le Monde".

If it's in a book, it must be true

I'm stealing this link, probably even before Ryan posts it (if he intends to do so). (click the actual page numbers to view the pages)

That's right, my favorite construction is the winner. Awwwwwwwwww yeah.

Song of the night is "Broken" by Pantera. Tom Morello and his band Audioslave ripped off this one's main riff big time with their song "Cochise". So if you haven't heard "Broken", it's like "Cochise". Only a lot better in every conceivable way. \m/
