The answer to this question is no. Unfortunately, no it will not. Let me preface this by saying that going into this summer, I was more excited for The Dark Knight Rises than the Avengers. And I also believe The Dark … Continue reading Will “The Dark Knight Rises” Beat “The Avengers”?
This is the Loewe Invisio. And you can see right through it. I don’t just mean that literally. I mean, look at that picture. Of course you can see through it. I mean metaphorically, where this TV’s attempts to be … Continue reading Transparent TV: The Wave of the Future?
Sadly, that noise you heard on Monday was everyone jumping off of the Coyotes bandwagon. Their 4-0 loss to the Kings put them down 2 games to nothing in the NHL Western Conference Finals. In their first two games, the … Continue reading Jumping off the Bandwagon
I’m not ashamed to say it: Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite gaming franchises. I’ve spent hours leading my spiky haired protagonists on quests through Disney worlds. Found the Ultima Weapon. Killed Sephiroth. Got up on the Hyrdra’s back. … Continue reading Swoon Over The New Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Trailer
When I was a freshman in college, there wasn’t a more popular show than Family Guy in my dorm. Despite the fact that it had been off the air for a couple of years, the DVDs of that show were on almost every night in someone’s dorm room. The show used jokes that were funny, witty and just plain goofy at times. (Like when Peter was setting up a picnic outside with a red blanket and a bull came and pulverized him.)
The characters were likable as well. Lois was the well-meaning matriarch, Peter was the irresponsible yet loving husband, the kids were normal, Brian was a talking dog and Stewie was an evil baby. All of them fit together well in their own ways.
Yet…the show was canceled. Continue reading “Family Guy: Shut up”
I always told myself I wasn’t going to turn into an old man who sat on the porch and tilted his rocking chair back and forth, popping his dentures in and out of place while discussing the finer points of … Continue reading Diablo III: A Lesson in Ownership
Well, you can add the Tomb Raider reboot and BioShock infinite to the list of highly anticipated games delayed until 2013. It’s nothing short of a huge bummer, as these were the two titles I was most looking forward to, … Continue reading Tomb Raider Reboot and BioShock Infinite Delayed to 2013
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m less excited for Halo 4 than the general public. Halo’s great and all, but it falls pretty far down the totem of anticipated games on the horizon, like BioShock Infinite and Tomb … Continue reading Halo 4 Box Art: Are You Impressed?
Hello everyone! Welcome back to my continuing look at Avatar: The Last Airbender and how the relationships between the characters within it. If you missed the previous post (here) about Sokka, be sure to check it out! This week I’ll be discussing the relationship between arguably one of the series’s most important characters, Prince Zuko, and his knife wielding girlfriend Mai.
Now as many of you have watched the show may know, Prince Zuko is a pretty integral part of the over-all Airbender plot. So much so, in fact, that if I tried to cover every detail and change in his character over the course of the series I’d have to write one HELL of a blog; with a length border-lining on a college thesis. So since I don’t really have the time for that (and I doubt many of you have the time to read it) I’m going to do things a little differently then you may expect and instead focus on Mai and her contributions to the relationship. Hopefully doing so will also help distinguish the troubles that Zuko faces as a person from the troubles that he and Mai struggle with as a couple.
I will also be using WAY more pictures than I normally do. Because pictures are awesome.
Buckle up everyone! And let’s get this thing rolling… Continue reading “Avatar, Relationships Done Right pt. 2: Mai & Zuko”
If life has taught me anything, it’s that if you ever find a machine that clones people, destroy it. You would think all science fiction would have been enough of a deterrent against this unfortunate invention, but people are still tempted at the possibilities of cloning.
Just this week, I read a post on the internet that compiled various people’s desire to be cloned, called PLEASE, PLEASE CLONE ME, found here. One person is asking for a clone to cure his paralysis, but wonders what the ramifications will be on his soul (hint: not great). A woman said her dad died, and wishes to give birth to her dad’s clone so her son will be like her father. Which is weird in too many ways to go over now. These people are not simply inquiring about cloning possibilities or how to clone — they are specifically asking this guy to clone them now, like it’s common knowledge he has invented a cloning machine and is taking offers, but needs to hear people’s reasoning first.
The point is, people want to be cloned. Well, I’m here to tell you, sirs and mams, please do not give into temptation. But not for the reasons you would think. We already know the potential for you to create an army for yourself and take over the world. We understand the agricultural ramifications you would have on the planet because you are inconsiderate and eat way too much food. And we’ve all seen The Fly. But you have to think deeper. Here are six extremely critical reasons why it’s imperative you destroy any cloning devices you run across. Continue reading “The Temptation of the Clones: Please Destroy your Replicators”
