Borderlands 2 still looks pretty cool

A new trailer for Borderlands 2 hit the intertubes today. It really caught my attention for a couple different reasons. First off I'm looking for a new game. I'm halfway through skyrim and I'm totally burnt out on it. At first all the side missions are great but now it feels like the whole game is side missions and there's no real plot. For a game of the year candidate I'm actually surprised at how many people I've run into that also game up on the game before they beat it. I tried jumping back on the Battlefield 3 train but EA messed up their servers and it's hard to find a game that doesn't last over an hour and is jacked up by a bunch of wacky rules.

Also I got home from my soccer game tonight at 11pm and it was still 79 degrees in the house. The basement (where the xbox is) is a good 10 degrees cooler so either I can keep looking for riddler trophies in Arkham City or I can sweat my balls off watching Big Brother and 90210 reruns.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Borderlands 2 looks pretty cool.

The Wibit Sports Park is what dreams are made of

You have got to be kidding me with this. The Wibit Sports Park 60 is like having your very own wipeout course (minus the d-bag commentators). There's a bridge, a cliff, a slide, a mini-pond, long jump and high jump areas, a trampoline, a swing, a free floating catapult, an "action tower", a ramp, a balance beam, and a winners podium to top it all off. Just imagine how many twisted ankles and near drownings you'll be able to enjoy after an afternoon of drinking.

Loren, you better have one of these things installed at the cabin by Labor Day.

Big Fat Links

Kate Upton is now Considered Fat. Just to prove to you that everyone on the internet is crazy, there's apparently a whole group of bloggers out there that consider Kate Upton sloppy and gross. Whatever man, I'm tired of magazines Sayin' flat butts are the thing. Take the average black man and ask him that, She gotta pack much back.

$50 Million Stealth Ship Sold for $2.5 Million, Headed to Scrap Heap. Sad end to a really cool ship. I mean where did all the cool stealth boats go anyway? Someone should have bought it just to cruise around in. Imagine pulling up to Ivar's in this thing. You know you'd get a table asap!

10 Incredibly bad ass Female Partners in Action Flicks. I'm not sure I'd could Erika Eleniak in Under Siege a "bad ass" but this is still a pretty good stroll down memory lane. Man that Robocop remake can't get here fast enough.

Rumor: Batman Arkham City prequel set in Silver Age. Word on the street is that Rocksteady is working on a Silver Age prequel to Arkham City/Asylum that would show how Batman first met the Joker and the Justice League. If so that is awesome! I love Arkham City, but I'm not sure if I want more of the same. A Silver Age game would feel like something completely new and exciting.

Kirby Krackle: Live in Seattle

Yesterday Seattle's own Kirby Krackle released an album titled Live in Seattle. It's awesome and you should really go download it. Like Right now. Go ahead I'll wait..

Ok, At the very least you should hit play on the above youtube clip. If after watching them perform Roll Over with Adam WarRock you still don't want to download the album then you can tell me why you don't like nice things and we can re-examine what our friendship is based on.

Again, this is why I don't really review things.

Gymkhana 5 will melt your face twice on Sunday

Grab your e-brake, here comes Ken Block's Gymkhana 5. This time around he tears San Francisco a new one and it's amazeballs.

The things Ken Block can do with a car are mindblowing. Just when you think he can't top himself he jump drifts a car! I figure that by Gymkhana 13 he's going to drift his car into making a sandwich and beating me at Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Super Golden Friends

Here's a shot for shot remake of the Golden Girls intro staring the Superfriends (minus Wonder Woman). It's totes amazing.

Star Wars Moto-X, because why not?

I turned 36 this weekend, I figured the best way to celebrate was to put on my best Scout Trooper gear and take the bikes out to the dunes. This is the video my friend Johhny Slick filmed of us just messing around.

Or I grilled hot dogs and watched pro-wrestling on TV. Whatever.. I can't be expected to remember what I did on every birthday, can I?

SDCC Exclusive Links

Concept To Turn An Abandoned Area Of The City Into A Zombie Outbreak Experience Theme Park. And with that I am planning my next vacation to Detroit! This is a rad idea, take some dump of a city make it a real life apocalypse town and let the zombie hunt begin. This is the best thing Detroit has given us since Robocop.

Ouya: a $99 hackable Android game console. This is so in the developmental stages it's barely worth talking about. However it does remind me of my plans to put together a dedicated emulator PC from like 5 or 6 years ago. I'd like to think I'm close to getting a new PC, maybe I'll look at taking my existing computer and putting it to good use that way. A new SSD hard drive and slim case with a quiet fan and I could have a really slick looking MAME box.

The 17 Best Songs from 1991-1992. I really had no idea how much the early 90s formed my tastes in rap music before I read this list. It makes sense 91-92 would have been right around when I was learning to drive so all these songs would have been thumping in the Thunderbird. The only thing this list is missing is a little Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Loren, I think you still have my cassette single of Boom! Shake the Room.

The 20 Greatest Exclusives at 2012 Comic Con. The worst part about Comic Con (other than all the twihards) is that every year I hear via facebook that my friend from High School Andy is going. He owns a TV website thing and really is only going to network, he basically has no business being anywhere around a comic book convention and it's people like him that are ruining Cons everywhere and... (big breath)
I guess what I'm saying is I would glady stab Andy in the leg to get my hands on this SDCC exclusive Jar Jar Binks in carbonite.
