The Return of the Bullets.

By Bruce 7 Comments

 I know I have not been blogging as of late, but GUESS WHAT? Sometimes people are really fucking busy!!! (I had a three hour test today, sorry)

- Allow me to quote my good friend Tom on the subject of Braid. I agree with him completely and support this message. (This pertains to all of you people who cum on their 360 controllers while progressing through the game's story)

"People need to shut the fuck up about Braid, seriously. If you are getting emotional over a cartoony platformer, you need to interact with real people once in a while. Get attached to something besides anime characters and imaginary friends. Assholes." - Tom

 
- Daft Punk needs to do a show at Madison Square Garden.

  

Need I say more?

- Bionic Commando: ReArmed = Not without online co-op.

- Jaye Davidson in "The Crying Game" looks better than every single girl I have seen at summer school this summer.

- I have gained like 13 pounds this summer. (Almost up to 170 or so)

- Every Subway in New York City has Indian employees. There are four in the Bronx that are like this, and three I have seen in Queens. I'm sensing a pattern here.....

- You ever get so bored that you want to work? Besides hanging out and talking on the phone, I feel as if sometimes I could be doing worse at the moment then stocking shelves.

-  The new Coen Brothers movie looks fucking stupid....(But it will probably still be funny some how..)

- Being carded at the movies when you're 18 and don't have ID on you fucking sucks......

I hate when this happens.

Diablo 2....FUCK YOU!
Diablo 2....FUCK YOU!
It seems as if any time I really get IN TO a game, something comes along that fucks it all up.

 Take Diablo 2 for example. I have beaten the game on regular and Nightmare difficulty. I'm going through it on Hell now and either the game's random nature has just drawn me a bad hand, or this game is fucking evil.

 Allow me to explain. I use a Mage character who's main spell of choice is "Blizzard". I leveled up "Blizzard" to about level 16 and also have "Ice Mastery" to increase it's effects. When I had that spell being spammed constantly, not even Diablo could really do anything about it.

 The reason why it's such an amazing spell, is that "Blizzard" has the ability to both slow enemies movement speed greatly, and also do a fuck ton of damage. In my previous two play throughs, I laid waste to pretty much anything using that spell. BUT ON HELL MODE, every single fucking monster has an "Immune to Cold" buff, so I can't even use it. This has backed me in to a rather lackluster corner as I now have to rely on spells that I haven't leveled up enough such as "Chain Lightning" and "Meteor" to kill these enemies. But since I cannot freeze them, the often fast moving, traveling in packs of thirty PRICKS, gang up on me and kill me in seconds. It's a sad realization but I think I am done with Diablo 2.


 
I envision a nomination for Heath......and not much else.
I envision a nomination for Heath......and not much else.
In other news, I plan to see "The Dark Knight" today in theaters. To be perfectly honest, don't be surprised if I don't think this is the greatest movie I've ever experienced in my life when it's all said and done. The sole reason I am going to see this movie is for Heath Ledger and that is it. I don't care about the origin of "Two Face", I don't care how much spandex Christian Bale squeezes himself in to this time around......I just want to see the late actor who I had admired heavily for "Brokeback Mountain" go out on a good note.

 Had Heath not been in this movie, I never would have even wanted to see it. There are several reasons for this. 

1. I haven't liked any Batman movie I've seen. (Remember the one with George Clooney? UGH!)

2. I also hate Christopher Nolan.

 O.k., that might require some eleboration on my part. See, I remember being in my psychology class watching "Memento". And the entire time, all I could think about was how much of a piece of shit it was. Kudos to whoever edited the movie, because they did their job, but seriously people....."Memento" is trash.

Being forced to watch that movie in class and then TALK about it was (To use a Angry Game Nerd Analogy) like being violently gang raped by a group of cybernetic turkeys with 19 inch strap-ons for two hours. I mean, the plot was convoluted as all hell, the main actor was about as straight as Ellen DeGeneres, and that real irritating prick who played Ralph on "The Sopranos" was in it. It had a horrible premise, horrible acting, yet it's regarded as a cult classic........Fuck You Christopher Nolan!

 Now let's add in that both "Insomnia" and "The Prestige" were BORING as all hell, and  the fact that I wasn't too crazy about "Batman Begins" when I saw it on the FX channel, and you can see why Heath Ledger was the sole defining factor in me going to see this movie. I must say however, I have heard people state that if you did NOT like "Batman Begins", this movie makes a lot of changes to compensate for the earlier movie's flaws. I can promise you all that I will be doing a video blog to comment on both my Diablo 2 frustrations, and "The Dark Knight".


 Here are some quick blog bullets to keep you guys "Informed".

- Logitech Dual Action Gamepads are awesome.

- I 4*d Baba O'Riley on Hard.

- I wish my hair was back to it's natural color....(With the mix of brown and black I look like a Reese's cup)

- My Morissey shirt could not be any more bad ass.

- Paper Planes by M.I.A. is climbing up the charts thanks to "Pineapple Express". (Number 7th most downloaded song on Itunes as of this weeK)

- Has anyone noticed that all the movies by the "Superbad" guys look like shit when they're being trailered? I guess it's because too much of the jokes are "crude".

- I was going to make a top ten underrated actors blog but Giantbomb was being slightly screwy, so here's the list if anyone is curious. ( ) indicates note worthy performances.

10. Clifton Collins Jr. (Capote)
9. Ryan Phillippe (Cruel Intentions, Crash)
8. Jim Carrey (The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
7. Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge!)
6. Haley Joel Osment (Sixth Sense, Artificial Intelligence: A.I.)
5. John Turturro (Big Lebowski,  Quiz Show, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink)
4. Steve Buscemi (Big Lebowski, The Sopranos, Fargo)
3. Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood)
2. Casey Affleck (Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Gone Baby Gone)
1. Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl, Half Nelson)

Bruce's playlist for the week.

By Bruce 8 Comments

  




 Depeche Mode/ "Enjoy The Silence" from the album "Violator". (1990)

ALL I EVER WANTED!

  


 The Ting Tings/ "Great DJ " from the album "We Started Nothing". (2008)

Their singer really needs to gain some weight. Eating disorder aside, The Ting Tings are really good at making simple Electronic-Pop songs. And they're bad ass.

 
  


 Hot Chip/ "We're Looking for a Lot of Love" from the album "Made in the Dark". (2008) 

Hot Chip have really become a staple on most of my Mp3 players. Made in the Dark was a really good album.
 
  


 Justice/ "D.A.N.C.E." from the album "Cross". (2008)
 
Great song/video. The Cross album is slightly less accessible than this, so be warned folks.

And now, for the "Rock" stuff.

  


 The Smiths/"How Soon Is Now?" from the album "Meat is Murder"/"Hatful of Hollow". (1984 I think)

Great riff. Damn shame the four minute edit isn't available on Itunes. Listening to the full six minute album  version can be slightly taxing. The Smiths are an odd band for me. They're sort of "Pussy Vegetarian Rock" if that makes any sense, but they do have their moments.

  


 The Strokes/ "You Only Live Once" from the album "First Impressions of Earth". (2006)

It has been over three years since we have had the pleasure of listening to a new Strokes album. Julian Casablancas apparently has the time to make a shitty song with Santogold and Pharrell for Converse, but can't record any new Strokes material? What the fuck man!

 
  


 Death Cab for Cutie/ "I Will Possess Your Heart" from the album "Narrow Stairs". (2008)

The first four minutes of the track consisting of nothing but the bass and drums on loop mixed with other ambient piano and synth noises may put off SOME people, but this tune about a man being "slightly" over zealous about his chances of obtaining the girl of his dreams (Whom he stalks on a daily basis) rivals the creepiness of songs like "Creep" and "Every Breath You Take". Plus the bassline is totally awesome.

  


 Talking Heads/ "Psycho Killer" from the album "Talking Heads:77". (1977)

 When Rock Band 2 was being discussed on stage and the Talking Heads were mentioned, I knew that either Harmonix had done right and obtained "Psycho Killer" or had completely missed the fucking boat and picked a song that wouldn't have worked as well, say "Burning Down the House". BUT, Psycho Killer it was! Assholes who complain about the more simple and easier songs in these games may not appreciate "Psycho Killer", but fuck those people. This is an amazing song and playing it with four people will be epic on a "Baba O'Riley" scale. Speaking of epic.....


  


 LCD Soundsystem/ "All My Friends" from the album "Sound of Silver". (2007)

 Ahh, the genius of James Murphy A.K.A. LCD Soundsystem. While most of his album contains rather random, odd Dance-Punk tracks akin to stuff from Daft Punk's album "Homework", it's when he goes for actual song meaning and structure that he really shines. And I absolutely love the lyrics,

 "You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan,
and the next five years trying to be with your friends again.

 You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can,
yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend.

It comes apart,
the way it does in bad films.
Except in parts,
when the moral kicks in.

Though when we're running out of the drugs
and the conversation's winding away.
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
for another five years of lies.

You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can,
and the next ten people who are trying to be polite.
When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France,
Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?

And to tell the truth.
Oh, this could be the last time.
So here we go,
like a sail's force into the night

And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool
on the road, there's always this.
And if I'm sewn into submission,
I can still come home to this.

And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand,
you can sleep on the plane or review what you said.
When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks
you think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead."

Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand,
you look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop.
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said,
and you always knew you were tired, but then,
where are your friends tonight?"

Becoming infatuated with my mouse.

 So, Diablo 2 is all fantastic........RIGHT? Well, yeah it really is. This point & click RPG which has taken up most of my gaming time has effectively proved to me that some of these old PC RPGs aren't half bad at all. Here's the breakdown of my character after many hours put in to the game.

 ChrisCrocker - Level 47 Sorceress

Strength: 77

Dexterity: 86

Vitality: 74

Energy: 96

Mana: 301

Life: 311

Defense: 402

 I'm playing the game through on Nightmare and hope to beat Diablo and then play again on Hell. Look for a review soon.

(It's getting a 5/5)

 I love how the PR person puts on an unplugged Fender P Bass and acts as if she's playing along with the shitty dyke Ramones tribute band. Notice how she's not even playing the right notes OR even strumming properly. Not that it matters with the WNBA player who's supposed to be Joey Ramone singing.
