Soul Calibur 4


So I was reading some Kotaku as I’m known to do and I came across an article about the upcoming Soul Cailbur 4. It looks like everything in this game keeps getting BIGGER and better. All I can say is … AWESOME! Now JZ knows that I’m a big fan of the cailbur and even though I told Jace not to buy it we still had a good time playing it during our escape to OR. NOTE: Always rent first my friends… unless the game is part of the Halo or Half Life series. But SC4 looks like it going to blow all other versions away. Ever wonder if chicks could really fight in G- String thongs? Why yes, yes they can! Check out the video below or maybe watch DOA. I’ve been intentionally avoiding that film every time I go to BB but we all know I’m going to give in one day. Come on I’ve seen EVERY Wesley Snipes movie out there (Most of them with Mike) so that lets you know where my “quality” threshold sits. Anyway so far this game seems set to rival DOA2 Extreme for cleavage animation / physics. Mike Im going to get one of these games for your boy when the time comes to talk about the birds and the bees… you know depending on what message you wanted to go for regarding women, that they’re all about violence + bikinis or grinding on trees + bikinis, your choice. I see it as a win win really.

Pimp My Ride International

Dudes… I’ve been sick for the last few days. (could you tell?) But just today I discovered the best program on TV, MTV’s Pimp My Ride INTERNATIONAL! This show is the bomb! Ok ok it’s true Xzibit has been replaced by Lil’ Jon as the host but lets all be honest for a minute, Xzibit was looking pretty burnt out the last time I saw him on the show. Side note: The guy who hosts Pimp My Ride London looks like Ryan Styles from Who’s Line is it Anyway, except Ryan Styles is way cooler. Back to International, the shop crew works out of Holland but seems to be assembled from everywhere their accents slay me. The thing that sets this show apart form its shitty US counterpart other than the fact that there is no Mad Mike…. That guy sucks ass!
But I’d say 9 times out of 10 they actually improve the car. True they still make most trunks unusable by filling then with 9000 watts of stereo equipment but what are you going to do? Another big plus is all the Euro girls…yeah.

What's in a Name?

The short version of this story is that I was rapping with JZ and I wanted to know what “codename” he would give his missus for our next group event. Lets just say I found some cheap coveralls and they needed some embellishment. Anyway he said that the first thing that came to his mind was The Baroness. NICE! That armored bustier, that big gun and those naughty librarian glasses. A fine choice sir! That works out for me just fine as I Ive been known to call my girl Lady Jaye for obvious reasons and lets face it Flint is one cool mutha fucker. Im just saying… So that would make JZ, Destro and then Mike would mostly likely become part of a Duke and Scarlet combo even though I cant say for sure if they were ever romantically involved, at least not on the show. That is to say if you were going for a theme.

Now as to why the Baroness is a 360 achievement hater I still don’t know. We had that conversation the last time we were all together and I don’t know if I ever really recovered. After that I tried not to care about the achievements, hell some games like Call of Juarez make it easy not to care as their achievements are so arbitrary that you may never get them, and I’m ok with that. But I took a look today and I noticed that I’m now over the 10,000 mark which I couldn’t help but feel pretty good about.
Hummm should I wear it like a badge of honor or a testament to my poor time management. I don’t know…



Addendum:

After much review I have decided that if one really looked at it, JZ is no Destro. Not the Baroness isn’t hot because she is but the fact is Destro was always depicted as being a little soft on the show ( I never read the comic so maybe he was portrayed differently there). Besides… what the fuck is his mask made of, metal, rubber? It’s awful shiny like metal but when he talks his lips move! It’s crazy… but more than that when looking at the Joes I thought that a few of them bore more than a slight resemblance to JZ. Please observe below: If you ask me JZ looks more like Torch, Monkey Wrench, and maybe Shipwreck. Incidentally I think that Shipwreck is the only Latino Joe and here I always thought he was from Boston.



Spiderman: Friend or Foe

So I just finished Spiderman: Friend or Foe and I am reminded of a cry of anguish from JZ and that was.. “Man I’m really tired of searching through boxes…”
Depending on which site you go to the reviewers scored it somewhere between 4.9 and 7.0, and I’m thinking that’s a stretch.

The good:
The graphics are great and cartoony
You can play as villains if you so choose
The S.H.I.E.L.D. computer says some funny shit
No jumping puzzles
Oh yeah and it’s kid friendly

The bad:
Everything else
Repetitive, unchallenging game play
Uneven character development
Snoozy level design

I will say that you can get all but one of the achievements just by playing the game. If you’re into achievements and I know some of us are not namely Mrs. JZ aka the Baroness. (see my other post for all that) But you can't play as Venom until the last level and even then there’s no real point because the sidekick development is sooooo lame. But if you have a weekend to kill and don’t mind a little carpel tunnel then it might be worth checking out.

On the Rise: My level of boredom


So I’m watching Lucy Liu's new straight to video movie Rise: Blood Hunter. In this cinematic masterpiece she is apparently a would be journalist turned vampire, who... are you ready? Hunts and kills vampires! Damn where have we heard this story line before? So far it's only kind of lame and has not yet reached super lame, but don’t worry it’s getting there. Also Michael Chiklis has made an appearance sporting a wispy goatee. I think he’s a cop… go figure. But he hasn’t had any speaking lines yet so we’ll see where that goes.

There are some new twists on the genre:

These vampires don’t have fangs

There is a threesome involving necrophilia… that’s new.

As the “good” vampire Lucy is not above feeding oh hitchhikers.

No super human strength

They can walk in the daylight

Wow Nick Lachey and Marlon Manson have cameos

They can drink the blood of the dead

Lucy in fact does practice Santaria, but she still aint got no crystal ball.

Bring on the lame… the part where she discovers she’s a vampire an as she walks naked to the mirror in the morgue.. (they have mirrors in the morgue?) she conveniently doesn’t have a reflection! Ah ha you clever director types!

To be honest I’m not even sure these guys qualify as vampires… I mean other than the blood drinking and no reflection thing they’re really just undead. I’m just saying…
