This blog is dedicated to my favorite game designer, Sweep "I Want You Inside Me" Sweepums.
We've had a long go together on the forums and IRC, as well as a podcast and some very personal skype conversations.
Mostly it's the distance and busy levels and girlfriends that keep us separated, but when we come together... it's magical. Kind of like harry potter but with less gingers.

So my blog.
I haven't been doing shit in the video game world. In fact, what I HAVE done has more to do with dinosaurs and deck chairs than anything. Also banana sandwich waffles.
Uh... New MUA game = awesome. comic books + video games are almost as good as just plain comic books.
New Zelda = WOOOOOooooo!!! Link is my homeboy.
New Harry Potter movie = I haven't caught up on the last one, so I guess I should do that.
Microsoft = Kicking effing ass. I'm terrified. Next step: Robot Apocolypse. Side note: would you rather have the robot apocolypse or the zombie apocolypse?

Apologies to the IRC for only coming on when I'm drunk or caffeinated. Someday I'll be normal. Maybe. No promises.
Apologies also to the forums for similar reasons. <3 to the mods, 'specially pamzy. and wtf kush, i still think it's weird you're a mod. Also, as a mod, more cannoli ought to be encorporated on the forums. And vagina.

Okay. There. That's my blog. back to finals.

i'm not going to tell you any spoilers, I'm not going to give you my complete opinion, I'm just gonna let you know a few things about this Watchmen movie.
If you've never read the graphic novel, it's too late to start. You're going to watch it, and you're going to be corrupted by the movie version first, just as I was corrupted by the graphic novel. So, that said, here we go:

Best CGI: Dr. Manhatten. They got his glowy skin deal going on pretty accurately
Worst CGI: Bubastis. I mean, a snow leopard with deer antlers would've been more believable.

Best Sticking to the plot element: The characters. Absolutely spot on. Dan's still a wimp, Rorschack scares the poop out of me, and the Comedian, actually if anything, improved.
Worst Sticking to the plot element: Everything after the sex scene.

My favorite moment: Rorschack's "Never compromise" speech
My least favorite moment: Everything after the sex scene.

So yeah, I haven't wanted to walk out of a theater in a long time, so that was a cool experience. I loved that it stuck to the time period. I loved that the comedic element was expounded upon to make its point about human nature. I hated that the point came at the price of a rather ridiculous film.

Also, There's a lot of penises. It came to the point that a guy in front of us shouted "NO MORE NAKED MEN". Which gained a round of applause from the audience.
Okay. That's my review.

I hope you read the graphic novel.

I've noticed that Twitter has been growing in popularity. This can only mean one of two things: 1) the apocolypse is coming 2) Common sense is becoming less common. I have been boycotting the masses ("Twitter is the opiate of the masses!" -Marx) because this is what I think twitter means:

Friday 2:52pm Virago is getting out of bed
Friday 2:52pm Virago can't find her pants
Friday 2:54pm Virago is looking for her pants
Friday 2:54pm Virago found a marshamllo! nom nom nom
Friday 3:01pm Virago called in a missing pants report
Friday 3:02pm Virago needs a lawyer
Friday 3:04pm Virago just wants her phone call
Friday 3:05pm Virago just wants her damn phone call
Friday 3:06pm Virago no really give me my phone call
Friday 3:09pm Virago is Nikki's bitch

Friday 3:45pm Virago omgz! i <3 rehab!

See? That's all you're missing out on. So i'm gonna go ahead and just stick with my facestalks and giantbombs, if that's cool with all of you.

YEAH! WE DID IT!

I don't know if you've heard, but Flash CS4 came out and rumor has it that it's the same as CS3. But I would like to assure you that it's NOT. It's better. It is SO MUCH better. But it's a bitch to figure out. The Tweening has been revolutionized, there's no 'guide' button, you can create a path simply by moving the object and manipulating this new line thing that comes up, and the layout is flipped entirely.

So that's what I've been doing. It's been distracting me from the important things in life, like comic books and video games and eating.
