Ok Black Ops 2, I'm listening

While I was on vacation this week a new Multiplayer trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 hit the interwebs. I know I'm supposed to be a old timey hipster gamer and be all "pssshhh black ops 2, more like black ops doo-doo", but dare I say this kinda looks fun?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not headed down to Gamestop and pre-ordering it or anything but when November rolls around I'm going to take a good hard look at the reviews. I figure by November I might almost be done with Skyrim.

Wolverines!?

Did you know that a couple years ago they made a remake to Red Dawn staring Thor? Well they did. Apparently it got shelved because MGM was going bankrupt and couple afford to release the movie.. So here we are, it's 2012 and there's a Red Dawn remake about to be released.

It looks ok I guess. The scene where the Chinese North Korean air force is dropping bombs over the US is pretty striking. The whole premise of Red Dawn was pretty out there, even for an action movie from the 1980s. I'm not sure if it's more believable or less believable now. In theory with all the violet video games out there, every teenager is a trained killing machine.

BTW, the movie was originally filmed with the Chinese as the bad guys. The movie studio changed it digitally in post-production to North Korea, 'cause you know. Asian is Asain, right?

Crysis 3 wants to make love to your eyeballs

Here's the new tech-demo slash trailer for Crysis 3. I know I say totes amazeballs a lot around here but this time I mean TOTES AMAZEBALLS. Make sure you watch this in 720p, it's crazy how detailed these graphics are. I'm sure the game will still suck, from what I've heard most of the Crysis games are weak sauce when it comes to gameplay, but man if this is where next generation graphics are headed color me down.

Also give me like 800 bucks, I need to buy a couple video cards.

The Lonely Man's Olympics

In celebration of the 2012 London Games, The Lonely Man has developed his own Olympics. I'm pretty sure I could destroy his tie tying time. I was one of like two kids who knew how to tie his own tie for the 8th Grade banquet.

BTW, I'm on vacation this week so... hopefully you really like this post.

Doctor Who Series 7 Trailer

Here's a preview of the new season of Doctor Who. It looks pretty awesome, although I have to admit I'm WAY WAY behind on watching Doctor Who. When we switched over to Dish network last year we lost BBC America. I was hoping to catch up on Netflix this summer but there's been vacations and the Olympics and the Blorgons invaded. It's been a busy summer.

oh yeah, needs more daleks..

Fistfull of Rupees

Here's a trailer for a webseries (It's still weird to me that those even exist) that re-imagines the Legend of Zelda as a spaghetti western. It's pretty cool, it might even inspire an super nerdy Halloween costume this year.

"What are you supposed to be?"

"Cowboy Zelda, duh."

6 Reasons the Olympics Needs More Bears. I would definitely replace Bob Costas with a brown bear. It's funny, a lot of people are complaining about Ryan Seacrest being added to the Olympic broadcast but I think Bob Costas is WAY worse. At least Seacrest knows he's just there for shitty personal interest stories, Bob Costas carries himself like he's the grand gatekeeper for all things Olympics. F that guy.

Why Yes, Those Claw Machines Are Rigged, Says Arcade Operator. Ok, now this is fascinating. I always knew those claw machines were rigged but I had no idea how. Read this before you drop another 50 cents at Randy's.

‘Renegade', Might Be The Greatest Show Ever. No, no it isn't. Acapulco HEAT has it beat hands down.

This week in youtube commenter outrage: The sexy athletes of the summer Olympics. Youtube commenters are both the worst and the best all at the same time. Long story short, some english magazine put together a video of attractive athletes being attractive. Some of the comments it received are epic.

Parkour Dog!

Ok, so maybe this is just a bulldog jumping up on a picnic table. Whatever man, you don't know what's cool.
