Uwe Boll Knocks Out The Critics

No, really. He does. German director Uwe Boll, infamously known for turning video games into really bad movies (House Of The Dead, Alone In The Dark, Bloodrayne), in a publicity stunt, invited all of his critics to box him in the ring. However, once they were together in the ring Uwe Boll didn't seem to be taking anything too lightly. It looked like he was beating bad reviews into the critics. As you can clearly see once him and a SomethingAwful.com critic enter the ring.

Watch For Nobody

NBC has started their YouTube campaign for Nobody's Watching, and it has spawned some pretty entertaining videos so far.

Wii Calculator

How much will you be spending when the Wii hits store shelves on November 19th? Well, use N-Sider's Wii Calculator and find out for yourself. You can tabulate exactly how much the console will be with any combination of controllers, game, or vc titles. It even calculates state tax.

Right now I'm in the range of $400, but that's because I'm picking up a few extra controllers because the Wii is a party machine.

Brutal Stupidity, Calamity, And Humorous Mishaps

It's called THE ULTIMATE PWNED COMPILATION, a collection of people getting "pwned". In short it's a 35 minute collage of serious disaster and unfortune. I honestly feel nauseous watching it. I was only able to stomach about 10 minutes of this. I'll applaud anyone that can watch the whole thing in one sitting. I'll applaud your sick, twisted mind, but I'll applaud you none the less.

Why would I post something that makes me uncomfortable, or even sick at times? Well, because it envokes a strong reaction from me. Unfortunately it's a negative reaction, but there are images contained within the video that will make anyone react.

Although, you do have to admire stupidity, because they do some pretty amazing things that envoke a reaction from anyone who sees them. If you don't believe me try not gasping, cringing, or even giggling at some of the events in the following video.

UPDATE:
I had this video running as I was making this post, and it seems the latter part of the compilation contains some pretty incredible feats, not disastrous. If you can make it through the bad there is light at the end of the tunnel.

UPDATE:
Ok, the video, which now I've seen in parts while jumping back and forth from this post appears to flow like so...

Part I: Disastrous Calamity
Part II: Humorous Mishaps
Part III: General Stupidity
Epilogue: Bits of everything

Alive With Technology

The Citroen C4 has a couple commercials out featuring some amazing CGI of transforming cars. Included here are two commercials, one of a disco dancing C4 and one of an ice skating C4. If the Transformers movie can live up or surpass the quality of these commercials then it will be huge.

+ The director of these commercials, Neill Blomkamp, has been rumored to be directing the Halo film (which is being exectutively produced by Peter Jackson). However, no director has officially been declared. There is a good chance that Blomkamp could get the job though.

Update!

While adding these videos I came across this amateur video of a semi transforming into Optimus Prime. Really impressive stuff here.

Do The La La La La....

Ok, so I have a problem. A BIG problem. As we all know Halloweenie is quickly approaching (44 days and counting). Here's the deal, I don't have a costume... or even an idea for a costume. Ok, I take that back. I have a couple of ideas.

1) Randal Graves - the wise-cracking, people-hating Clerk from the infamous film of the same name.

The problem is I would need a Dante because Randal is great, but he isn't anything without a Dante to counterbalance his cynicysm. The only person I can think of to be my Dante is brother, Bryan (a.k.a. Annoyed Llama). He has the perfect facial hair for it. Although he is taller than me, I'm not looking for an absolute imitation. It's all about style and attitude. No one would even notice that the faux Randal is shorter than the faux Dante if the costumes look good and the key to a good costume is 20% clothing and 80% attitude.

B) Nathan Explosion - the lead singer from the most brutal metal band ever, Dethklok.

Again, it's a group a group costume thing so I would need a Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Toki Wartooth, William Murderface, and a Pickles to accompany me. Now, Evan and I have talked about how incredible a Metaloclypse group costume would be, and he would love to be Murderface. Now all we need are the other three. Any takers? Evan mentioned something about getting Ian in as Pickles, but he's all the way in Carbondale.

III) I've also always wanted to go as The Prince from the popular PS2 game, Katamari Damacy. The only complication with that costume is getting the material, and setting aside the time to make it. I'm also pretty lazy sometimes. I really need a smack in the ass to do anything sometimes.

My problem is this, if those ideas fall through what could I go as? So, I thought I would ask the most creative people I know, the E204 readers, for some help. If I end up going as one of your suggestions I will send you some photos of myself all up in my garb.

Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to hear your suggestions.

Danger Paris... Or Another Reason To Love Danger Mouse

Recently Danger Mouse, along with Gorillaz collaborator, Banksy, remixed 500 copies of Paris Hilton's new CD, Paris, and snuck into numerous HMV music stores in Britian and switched them with the originals. Then unknowing fans bought Paris and was none-the-wiser. That is until he confessed to the prank.

Danger Mouse released this official statement about the prank,

"It's hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try."

Danger Mouse is now officially one of my heroes. HERE you can find pictures of the album that Banksy doctored.

"They see me roll on my Segway. I know in my heart they think I'm white and nerdy."

That's just a sample from Weird Al's parody of Chamillionaire's Rollin' Dirty, White And Nerdy. I'm a fan of Weird Al, and I miss his lack of music lately. This song more than makes up for it.

Robots Can't Feel

Watch as this lady trips on a grape and her co-anchors attempt to squeeze out emotional sympathy. Apparently after the fall her collar bone broke and punctured her lung, and she broke her nose and her left wrist. The truly awful thing is that no one seems to care. I usually laugh at prat falls, and this would be a good one, but she just writhes in pain far too long for me to muster a laugh.

Flip The Switch

Philips has created light-emitting fabric they call Lumalive. I know. How cool is that. Essentially they have found a way to embed LEDs without sacrificing fabric comfort or softness. Not only is it just one color LED, but they can change color and shape allowing all sorts of commercial opputrinities. AWESOME! Now you can whore out nike by showing it off to the world in the bleak of night. You'll never need a flash light again, just put on a shirt.

Out Of It

Here it is...


Earlier I mentioned that this was a 6 part mini-series. Well, I thought it was too, until I saw that this was their final episode. I was talking with my friend Evan about that, and he came to the conclusion that episode six may have been so good that they decided to attach to the first episode of season five. Sounds good to me. I can't wait for more Red Vs. Blue.

I found Out Of Mind to be highly enjoyable. It was as silly as RVB, but the direction, editing, and sound exceeded anything shown on RVB so far. I hope they continue to push themselves and present the new season with such quality as they've shown in OOM. I also found OOM to be hilarious on the subtle humor. I.E. the guy falling in episode one, and I also found York to be highly enjoyable.

Crikey!

So Steve Irwin died over the weekend. Yeah. Stung in the chest by a stingray. I think my title says it all.

However, even in death Stevey can still effect us. In fact, many australian news websites experienced such a tremendous traffic spike because of readers looking to find out more about Steve's death that they actually had to switch their sites to low-bandwidth use only just to handle all of the traffic. Sites which had to switch to low-bandwidth included Abc.net.au, NineMSN.com.au, and News.com.au.

R.I.P. Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin. May your afterlife be filled with less stingrays, and plenty of crocs.

Bogey's Bad Weekend

The other night I hopped online with my friends, Evan (Owl Stretcher), Pat (FADED JOKER), and Bogey (double0bogart) to partake in some drunken Halo, the only way to play. Bogey had a big story to tell us. Apparently he quit his job this weekend because everyone there was treating him like the monkey boy he is and forcing him to do their dirty work. So, he quit. I don't think he really wanted to, I mean losing the income and all, but he had to do what he had to do to keep his pride in tact. I applaud you for that Bogey.

Bogey was on his last dollar and decided that he really wanted a Spicy Chicken sam'ich from Wendy's. He drove up and ordered one, and unfortunately the lady working the window was this reoccuring cunt that's always an asshole to him. She was cunting it up as usual when he got the chicken. He checked the order to make sure everything was in order *titter* only to discover that his chicken had been burnt. He then grasped a hold of the chicken with all his might and threw it back through the window hitting Assy McCunthole in the face. Then he sped off with his cold fries. Man, I wish I could have been there for that. He told me that moment made his weekend, and that the cold fries were delicious because they tasted like vengeance. That was the prelude to our drunk Halo session.

Later on in the evening some random douche, of which there are many, mowed Bogey down and shouted, "FEEL MY GAUGE!" I think gauge was short for 12-gauge as in shotgun, but we were all too tipsy to put that together, and instead adapted FEEL MY GAUGE as our new taunt. All throughout the night we would randomly pull out the chestnut when we were feeling saucy, which was constantly because we all had a good druzz (between drunk and buzzed) on.

We also got to hear a crowd-pleasing favorite of Bogey's. Allow me to set up this clip. When an apposing team is composed entirely of doucheheads and shitbags we taunt them during the post-game carnage, which is just a big lobby where anyone can sit as long as they want and talk about the game and compare stats. We use the post-game time to make fun of/ or congratulate the other team. Last night there were a lot of toolbabies on so during post-game Bogey whipped out one of our favorites. It goes a little something like this.

BOGEY: "Hey red (or blue) team, knock knock!"
D-BAGS: "Who's there?"
BOGEY: "Go fuck yourselves!"

Then we immediately leave the post-game lobby. Man, that's the best knock knock joke ever.

Also while playing Bogey got a bit loud and woke up his girlfriend, who was sleeping. She called him from his bedroom and told him to keep it down. Let me repeat that. She, who was no more than 20 feet away in a bedroom, picked up her cell phone and called Bogey, who was no more than 20 feet away from her in the living room, to tell him to keep it down. That's the special kind of lazy that just makes me giggle. The kind of lazy you go out of your way to be. However, Bogey showed her who was boss by, after she told him to keep it down, shouting, "FEEL MY GAUGE!" into the phone and then hanging up. At that moment Bogey realized that he threw the oppurtunity for sex before bed that he wanted right out the window. Poor Bogey.

Well, keep plugging away, Dooblay-O-bawgar!
