EA’s FLAG Flies at Half-Mast (Album Review, Pt. 1)

Fight Like a Girl

Fight Like a Girl is a different kind of record than I was anticipating.  Opheliac succeeded because of Emilie’s famous electric violin and patented screaming well outside of her vocal range.  These trademarks are nowhere to be found on this album, replaced with much lighter fare.  Industrial takes a backseat to theatrical.  This one is less a rock album than a soundtrack to a musical.  The problem is that musical only exists in Emilie’s head.

Read on past the break for part one of my bi-polar review.

EPam Wars – Delayed Indefinitely

Greetings, readers.

The decision has been made by 4203 Game Studios, to delay EPam Wars indefinitely. The game is not vaporware, however, as I assure you development is indeed ongoing.

Long story short, if EPam Wars were to release on time, it’d be a long story cut short. The game I set out to release in December is not the game EPam Wars has grown into, and as time draws ever closer to the arbitrary release date I never formally announced, I find myself considering compromises to both the story and gameplay just so the game will be done. That’s not the way I want this project to end. Seven years is a long time. Here’s hoping it won’t take seven more to get it just right.

So, I would suggest you find some other RPG to fill your time. I think Mojang just put out that Scrolls game or something? I dunno. I just wish Notch would hurry up and finish Minecraft already.

HOLLA.

you’ll lose all credibility.”

Has Two-and-a-Half-Men Lost Its Sheen?

Two-and-a-Half-Men returned from an elongated hiatus Monday night after Charlie Sheen started WINNING! and all that nonsense gave last season a premature end.  Can this show survive Ashton Kutcher joining the cast?  Read on after the jump for my scathing review of Monday’s premiere.  [Editor’s Note:  And many kudos to my good pal Shane for the title of this post.]

Ghast In The Shell

Who are you?  Who slips into The Nether and waves a fishing rod at my ghast?

This is my second attempt at drawing something on my graphics tablet.  Luckily, it was a Major success (see what I did there?).  I partially have MineCraft to blame for the lack of practicing/updating, as it has taken control of my life for the past month or so.  Now my favourite sport is boxing, I shop exclusively at the Square One Mall, and my favourite actor is Cuba Gooding Jr. (well, at least that’s still the same).  I still won’t buy a Boxee.  That thing’s stupid.

HOLLA.

241543903 – You’re Doing It Wrong

Apparently there’s a meme on the interwebs where people take a picture of their head in a freezer, name it 241543903, and then use Bing Image search to Google the number and see the pics.  I just discovered this a few minutes ago, and figured I’d whip together a demotivational poster for Shane’s birthday using an old photo I had from May 13, 2004.  Happy Birthday, bitchcakes.

HOLLA.
