Random Thoughts ~ Professor gets caught watching porn via a projector: In the Netherlands, a professor was teaching class and ended his class with a streaming video of hardcore porn being played on the front screen for everyone to. Uh, I love porn like the rest of the dudes, but there is a place and time of it. You don't need to watch it while teaching a lecture. It looks like he lost his job, but a porn site is offering him a special membership. No word if he's taken them up on their offer. ~Mass Effect universe: I want to make up a list of all of my favorite characters from that series, but I just have to find the time for it. Wrex in effect!:  Come on, you know this guy is going to be on my list.  Catwoman for the win! ~Oscars: I haven't even bothered to see who won what. Like the Super Bowl, I have no interest in the proceedings or the group or persons that won. I only like the pop cultural byproducts that come out of the events such as t...

Batman loses another Robin From NY Post , ((Robin the Boy Wonder, Batman’s aide-de-camp, will be killed battling a brutal enemy in a comic book published Wednesday.)) I don’t know how I feel about this.  Marvel has killed off bother versions of Spiderman (Ultimate and Original) and now DC is in the habit of killing off fan favorites like Robin.  This Robin is actually the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia.  At times, DC has reconned Damian Wayne (the new Robin) back into the universe back in the early 2000, and they made him the new Robin.  And they killed off Robin 2 in the form of Jason Todd, but brought him back as an adult.  I’m not sure how I feel about this, because I kind of like the concept of Robin and I liked the newer Robin too.   

UPN Promo way back in 1994 I actually remember this promo being played on TV, and I was pumped with this upcoming network. Too bad most of the network turned out to be really bad. While the ad does talk about the past with all the Paramount shows, but then it insults them all with “Been there, done that. Time for something new.” Really? You're going to throw shows from your archives in the trash for new programming, programming that was mostly shit on UPN? “Forget the past, think fast.” F' you.  I hate the way this ad sort of shoves the other programming away for something "new".  With the exception of Voyager, all of the other shows in the promo were gone by the new season.   Then, to add insult to injury they add in a hip young guy in a trendy suit (with attitude) telling us about UPN. And, you have 90s rock music blaring out the ad.

Battleship (2012) Well, it wasn’t a bad movie.  With some rewriting and editing, there is a good movie just waiting to bubble to the surface.  Battleship is loosely based on the board game of the same name.  Now, why did they commission a movie to be related to the game?  One can’t really tell.  It a little or nothing to do with the board game.  Is the movie really bad?  Nope, it is actually better than Revenge of the Fallen, but somewhat above flicks like The Core (Sorry, MC).  However, some of the acting from the human cast members really brings this movie down a bit.  Plus, there is an introduction scene to the main character that I felt wasn’t necessary.   Why center a big budget movie on a boring actor?  The movie actually does shift from the ships to other locations around the world, mainly because this is the first contact with an alien race.  Some of this works, but some of it seems a bit clunky.  Th...

The very first movie ever created Taken from KKD1247, (( Here is a short video production I've done especially for YouTube members. It shows the first experimental movie that Thomas Edison made in 1889. )) Think of this clip as the very first YouTube video.   Edison made this “video” back in 1889.  I am currently studying this stuff for a midterm and I wanted to share it with the blog, because I find it amazing this was made back in 1889.  Now, there seems to be some disagreement as to if this was the first motion picture.    From  cutefunnybunny111   (( The first motion picture was Roundhay Garden Scene in 1888 by Louis Le Prince. Sorry, but you're wrong. )) Now, we take film for granted because everything has a camera on it.  (Heck, I have a laptop with a webcam that I never use.)  This changed the way we viewed the world.  We could visit places and things we could have never imagine.  Sometimes we ...

Dark Cloud (Beta AKA PS2 Tech Demo) I remember watching this demo being played in real time by one of the Sony Executives ( Ken Kutaragi   ) way back in the day. I remember really like the mixture of action and world building elements. I also found it amusing that a lot of the visuals of the game changed from Beta/tech demo to the final product. From Demo to final release, this game is clearly Sony's answer to Zelda. Hey, he even has pointed ears. I mean they're really trying for the Zelda vibe. But, the game is very fun.

Scream and Shout: You know what?  I actually like this song despite some of the mild autotune stuff coming from will.i.am.  The best part of this is the Chorus with Britney Spears.  And, surprisingly, Britney moves out of her low range and actually shows some interesting ranger within chorus.  She is an octave above will.i.am.  This is coming from a guy that isn’t huge fan of The Black Eyed Peas ’s latter day works.  Hey, I even like the reusing of the “Britney, Bitch.”  I think the song would have worked better without the autotune, which isn’t used for Britney. The beat (guitar portion) feels like a throwback to the late 90s with certain videogame soundtracks, and it works here. Notes -There is a cool FX shot where will.i.am falls to the floor/wall and shatters. It is a very good effect. -Britney looks very good: Maybe it is the very retro hairstyle, but she looks very sexy and mature in this video. -Butterfly Doors? ...

Sonic the Hedgehog Documentary This is a great Documentary about Sonic, and it is very good. -Sonic 2: Yes, it was heavily produced by Sega of American with some Japanese team members too. -Sonic 3: Yes, the video does mention Michael Jackson partly producing the music. -The Saturn years:  There were so many mistakes made during this era that it harmed Sega more than people thought and they didn't have the money to support the Dreamcast.   -Sonic Xtreme: The second build of the game was based off the Nights game engine. The Nights guy got pissed and threatened to leave Sega. I had no idea this is the reason the game was never released for the Saturn. Thus, a new Sega system never had a Sonic title. The Nights character actually shows up in Sonic Adventure (And the game engine has a cameo.) -Sonic Adventure: Fun game, but full of bugs. Characters will run right through walls and into death...like falling to death. The voice acting is horrid and I...

Game Over, Yeah! Uh, videogame, why are you so cheerful that I lost? Shouldn't game over songs be dowers? I bet the guy in the studio had to do this short clip over and over again. Looking over the meme page, the song comes from Sega Rally Championship on the Sega Saturn. For a while, the “Game Over, Yeah” became a meme. These clips were taken from the Know Your Meme page

Dude named “Marijuanaman” was robbed at gunpoint while streaming his live stream show The best part has to be the little girl screams from the Weed dude when they first appear.  By the way, for safety reasons you might want to turn off the cam recorder.  Well, it is Web 2.0 and it is supposed to be "interactive".   Didn't this happen a few years ago, and these guys were caught?   -This Marijuanaman guy seems to be into one thing…weed.  Everything in this room surrounds weed.  I am all for legalizing weed, but I find these guys really annoying too.  -The Jackson 5 plays during the robbery.  Sweet. -This was probably his best streaming show ever.  -Did he poop his pants?  -His reaction after the robbery is priceless.  

Burger King gets hacked on Twitter Okay, this made me laugh.  When are these people going to understand that using Twitter is a bad thing?  Some hackers got into BK’s account and changed some things around and plastered the McDonald’s logo over things.  Plus, they stated that McDonald’s bought out BK, which was false.  The best part about this hack attack was that even McDonald’s mentioned it on their account!   Somewhere, the King is pissed.  

Dale Peterson: Best campaign ad I love this ad.  I love the fake cowboy music and that he’s riding a damn horse in the ad.  Plus, he yells at his likely voters by saying. “Listen up!”  Peterson is almost like a living WB cartoon character.  -Bet you didn't know that:  No, I  didn't  know that.  -“They don’t give a rip”: Yeehaw -What was the deal with the close-up on the damn horse?   -Uh, illegals bused in by the thousands:   Isn't  done by the farmer people for cheaper labor anyway?  Don’t play lip service.  -You show a rifle in your ad.  You really want to get that cowboy vibe down don’t cha?  Now, what’s funny is Dale got caught shoplifting.  In reality, he just had to shit really badly.  It seems restrooms and old men don’t get along.  From AP News, ((Peterson said he rolled his shopping cart past the cash registers, parked it outside the restroom, an...

Courtney Stodden:  Reality Talentless doesn't even begin to explain the sheer shit-brick that is Courtney Stodden.   She represents everything that is wrong with fame today.  She is only famous for marrying the dude from Lost and The Green Mile.  With her fake over-sized boobs and dreadful singing, she is the mutant lovechild of Paris and Kim K.  Because she is banging a guy that produces music, she thinks she can perform music.  Don’t buy this song.  Her latest song is not only offensive to hear, but to common society in general.  Congress should drum up a measure to ban this song and only this song from the country or the world.  Honestly, the music in this song “Reality” causes me great harm.  I actually have to turn it off after 30 seconds before I can listen again.  It is really that bad.  I am honestly grimacing as I watch this trite over and over again for review.  This might be ...

Harlem Shake:  I hate it… Can we stop with the Harlem Shake videos?  First, the music is horrible.  It’s that stupid bass stuff that nearly sounds like Dubstep, and we know how shitty dubstep is.  (Durp Step?) Second, I just don’t understand the craze behind the meme.  The Harlem Shake is not a milkshake, but a dance born from Harlem way back in 1981.  The dance showed up in G Dep’s Let’s Get It.  It seems P-Ditty has a lot to do with the return of the Harlem Shake with this video. From there, DJ Baauer made a song with the same name .  And, it is this song that has turned into a viral hit in the Internets with random people “dancing”.  From Wiki, ((The art form of the meme was established in a video uploaded on February 2 by The Sunny Coast Skate,[2] five teenagers from Queensland, Australia. The teenagers' video, in its turn, was a follow-up to a video by a YouTube comedy vlogger named Filthy Frank[3][4] featuring a par...

Djesus Uncrossed Okay, this made me laugh.  It is a cross between Inglourious Basterds, Unchained and Pulp Fiction.  I love that Christoph Waltz  isn't  afraid of making fun of himself in this.   Don’t piss off D’Jesus.  

Cringe  worthy Comedian leaves stage… This is the reason I will never do stand up.  He came out with so much “swagger” and ended with total whimper.  It is very  cringe  worthy when no one laughs.  Ouch.  I guess he won’t quit his day job.  He says he won’t be chased off stage and he then leaves.    Imagine the reaction from the guy behind the stage.   I think the host did the best to recover from that mess.  But, he did throw the loser under the bus.  Aren't you supposed to stand with the other comedians.    

Russia hit with exploding meteorite.  From Chicago Tribune, ((A meteorite streaked across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, raining fireballs over a vast area and causing a shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured 1,200 people.)) I was getting ready to go to sleep when I noticed news stories about a meteor.   At first I thought we finally had the “big one” hitting a city.  However, this one started to break up as it went over The Russian Urals region.   When I first read the story, it was being reported that 400 people were hurt by this chunk of rock, then it was 500, now it is up to 1,200. The other thing worth noting is a lot of dash cams witnessed this incident due to the high amount of dash cams in Russia.  The huge rock that passed by us has nothing to do with the meteorite that exploded over Russian.   However, I can’t help but think of that opening scene in Armageddon . It is in...

The Best Drunk Fight Ever? I have no idea how this happened, but this is totally the best shitty fight ever. What happened to fat dudes wearing undershirts? I wear them so thing like this won't happen and my belly flopping around. By the way, I love drunk fat dudes fighting. It is always a treat.  If had seen this, I would have walked over then and checked into the hotel as if nothing happened.   -“Don't laugh at me.” He says that to cameraman. I love that he hates people laughing at him. -Everyone tells the chick to go to her room. -He calls the Indian dude “Cop, Cock”. You got something on your mind drunk dude? -The drunk dude keeps spouting out legal advice. You have to love that. - “Call the f'ing pigs” Brilliant I say. -The best portion of the video is when the three old women come in to regulate the situation. They take control as if they've done this before. “Let's put him down.” The women beat him up too. Then the skinn...

How did it get burned?   The reboot of Left Behind with Nicolas Cage (WTF?) poster is up.  I am still hoping this is just a fake poster and just aping the style of Nic Cage’s other movie   Knowing.  Please tell me this is fake.  I mean look at this poster.  It just says “cheap Nic Cage movie”.  It looks like any other poster for a Nic Cage movie.   The original movie came out in 2000 staring resident nut job Kirk Cameron.   This time they brought in Hollywood nutjob Nic Cage.   I’d take a crazy Cage over Cameron any day.   However, is the world asking for a Rapture movie?   “You know I haven’t seen any good Rapture movies lately.”   I love the tagline "Some were saved.  Some were Left Behind."   I am hoping they're talking about the audiences watching this shit.  

Damn you, Zoosk F’ Zoosk and that creepy heart creature:  I get this creepy Zooks ad with a talking heart puppet setting up a date for Liz.  This Zoosk creature needs to be stopped before he takes over the world.  Who thought this was a good idea?  It is just creepy, man. No one finds this creepy that a giant talking heart is talking to a woman in her home and she’s okay with it?  I’ve never understood online dating anyway, because I’ve heard some horror stories.  Then again, I don’t date or seek out dating sites anyway.  But, it seems online dating is very popular these days.  So, if a creepy talking heart is your thing, have at it. 

Student receives an extra eye in class photo First off, I always hated taking school photos, so having an extra eye in a photo sound appealing to me. Second, why not go with it?  This is freaking cool. From the Huff Post, ((Tilda Nörgaard, who, in real life, has two ordinary peepers, discovered the addition of a third eyeball in the middle of her forehead when she opened up her class album. )) I can imagine her shock when she saw the extra eyeball. “I don't remember having an extra eye?” And, it is right in the middle of her forehead. I would fully embrace this extra eye. Interesting enough, Tilda received some money for her troubles. From Huffington Post, (( The Månesköld School pupil originally found the blooper amusing, although quickly became angry. She has now been awarded 1,500 kronor, around £140, as compensation. )) I guess I am okay with that, but I would put that picture on my Facebook page, wouldn't have taken the money.   

Stickam shutting down. Wait, what? Since 2005, this streaming site was an interesting, if strange, place to go. Stickam was a heaven for emo and bro kids everywhere. I got an e-mail a few days ago from Stickam saying that they're closing their site down completely at end of the month. Check out the site currently . From my e-mail, (( We are very sad to announce that Stickam has closed down, effective February 1.  The site will remain active until February 28, so that you can login and download any of your live recordings or other media you wish to save.  )) Wait, did anyone see this coming? From the e-mail, (( Again, the site will remain alive here until February 28, 2013.  We encourage you to log in and download any of your live recordings or other media you wish to save. We are incredibly grateful to all the Stickam members and viewers, to all the bands and artists, the radio stations and the shows, and the deer. Thank you for making this a wo...

  Star Trek: The Next Generation - A XXX Parody  (2011) Yes, I've actually seen this “parody”...for research. I am impressed with the research the actual writer(s) for this porn parody. The movie has connections to other episodes from TNG. They even have tech talk in the parody. And,the FX is very good. As far as production value goes, this is up there with the TOS one and the Cosby one. And remember Rule 34 and 35 . I did Google Mass Effect porn and some interesting things came up (Pun not intended). Some of it is down right strange and disturbing (Uh, Legion and (male) Shepard?) It is only a matter of time before they have a real porn parody of this VG. Wasn't there a WOW parody? - India Summer : Okay, she's attractive enough, but couldn't they have gotten her a better wig or get a blond actress to play the part. -Ensign Ro Laren: They included Ro in this story. I guess because there were too many main stars that happened to be female. ...
