Before we get started, I realize that I appear to be in the habit of making dick jokes lately. However, this is different. This is a scientific examination of what exactly would happen if some of our favorite characters from comic books took a straight shot to the pills. Granted, some of you may have already seen some of these in Marvel vs. Capcom, but I’m trying to be professional here. For instance, what exactly would happen if I gave a brutal blow to the balls of…
Oh wow. Just, wow. I just finished watching Thankskilling. It is a delightful piece of B-movie schlock that you absolutely must watch. I should’ve left this to The Monster Popcorn crew, but I just couldn’t help myself.
Now, I’m not going to review this on the standard scale, but rather I am going to use Thankskilling for the establishment of an entirely separate review system. Why? Because judging it by traditional standards would be akin to pitting a Big Mac against a Filet Mignon- yes, it’s technically worse but under the right circumstances it’s damn tasty.
I’ve seen 27 Halloweens as of this year and at least 20 of those I can remember quite vividly. Over the past couple of decades I’ve seen great costumes, so-so costumes, and also the outright insane.
However, through the years there are certain themes I’ve seen develop. Some come and go gracefully with the good sense to bow out as the years roll on, but some costumes just absolutely refuse to die and frankly? They’re way past due.

I’m going to break down the following sequence of events in time line format. You see, my friend, Jacob, claimed I could finish Bioshock 2 on hard with vita-chambers turned off by noon the next day. What followed was one man’s epic battle against machine.
10:00 PM, Friday – Nicole and a group of our friends go out for dinner and subsequent bowling happiness. While dinner was most delicious, to our dismay, the wait time for bowling is over an hour. This is unacceptable. To satisfy our insatiable lust for parlor games and booze we hit a local pool hall.
11:30 PM, Friday – It turns out Karaoke is in full effect, prompting Nicole to sing ‘Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked’ and ‘Suddenly I See’.
11:45 PM, Friday – In a drunken stupor, I explain to Jake, that I can’t stop thinking about Bioshock 2. I then go on to boast that I’ll probably beat it later on in the night. Jake cordially calls bullsh*t, and claims that the manner in which I’m playing (hard difficulty, vita chambers off) combined with my being relatively early in the game makes that impossible. I then demand retribution and Jake (being the gentleman that he is) promises to buy me a burrito from Chipotle should I man up and complete the game by noon the next day. I drink something with a vaguely grape-ish flavor as my vision blurs further and tell him the game is on!
I’ve always been a huge fan of Kevin Smith, but almost moreso of his public speaking than his actual films after seeing An Evening with Kevin Smith. Having also seen New Moon I can say that Kevin’s theater experience was precisely like mine, having most of the mushy parts of the flick drowned out by the shrill piercing that is a carpet-laden room filled with the swooning cries of a few hundred tween girls. Anyways, the below video from the San Diego Comic Con pretty much hits the nail on the head.
As you can see in the video below, ever-vigilant news outlet The Onion reports that Modern Warfare 3 is well into development at Infinity Ward and will prove to be more realistic than ever before. It’s nice to see the developers’ selfless dedication the series, even in the midst of all of the Modern Warfare 2 hype that’s been so prevelant lately.

So Nicole found this little nugget the other day and because I’m hopelessly addicted to internet culture I had to publish something about it. For those of you who just aren’t satisfied with a online lolcat-translated version of the Bible, you’ll be happy to know that soon enough Amazon will begin offering an actual book version of it starting January 1st that you can put on the shelf next to your Halo Game Fuel and prominently displayed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. While I can’t say whether we’ll actually be picking it up, I figured if we’re here to keep you in touch with geek culture we couldn’t rightly leave it out. Enjoy and have a happy in your heart!
Sometimes while I am working at AGS (“anonymous game store”) I read the lists of the new releases and I can’t help but to crack up and wonder what the heck the creators were thinking when they decided on some of their titles. Whether they’re suggestive, silly, or just completely dumb the following titles have earned their place on my “funniest game titles” list.
