Why Netflix "Instantly" is Addicting and Fun to Use

Tuesday, December 30, 2008


Right when I installed NXE for the Xbox 360, I immediately subscribed for Netflix. I really wasn't expecting the best out of it, but I was wrong. This is freakin' amazing. I've been really enjoying using Netflix over the past couple of weeks. It is so easy to use, it has great movies and TV shows that you could watch, and it's HD. I've watched all the seasons to the "The Office" and spent hours watching them. Then after that, I made some popcorn, and watched "The Professional". I never really paid attention to Netflix in the past, but thankfully Microsoft changed that, and I really appreciate it. Thank you Microsoft...

...FOR RUINING MY LIFE that is. I remember a time, I'm thinking not that long ago, when I would go to sleep without any problems. Netflix "Instantly" is TOO addicting. Having to choose movies on the site, adding them onto my queue, and speaking of the queue, the queue is ludicrous. I keep changing the order of each movie in it, and I keep adding or removing the movies in it, because I want it to the MOST PERFECT MOVIE LIST IN THE WORLD. It needs to be perfect. My queue needs to be in order, from Horror all the way to Fantasy Sci-fi, and on each genre, it needs to be in order chronologically, and not to mention, Netflix adds movies to "Instantly" (I've been hearing) daily.

Besides the fact that Netflix is killing night by night, NETFLIX IS FUN! YAAY! And when I mean fun, I mean watching hilariously horrible B-movies fun. They are so fun to watch, because of it's horrible acting, directing, randomness, and especially it's plot. Check out the plot for "Dumpster Baby"

When a prostitute gives birth prematurely and tosses her baby into a dumpster, the innocent infant sees the seedier side of life from the worst possible angle. Helplessly searching for someone to take care of it, the baby collects a sordid inner circle of freaks, including a mentally handicapped garbage man, a pimp and a philandering doctor. Angela Benjamin, Akasha Sjolin, Jeffrey Charlton and Thomas Alan Beckett co-star.


YES! I was so excited to watch this movie. Just looking at it's box art gets me thrilled. The movie was obviously a large pile of shit, unwatchable, but enjoyable. There are many more horrible b-movies to watch on Netflix, but it does have a great collection of movies as I said before. Netflix is without a doubt worth a try, and you could even start a two week Free Trial once you sign up for it, if you're interested.

Unfortunatly, I am glad I have Netflix apart of life!

How do they use a herb in Resident Evil?

Saturday, December 27, 2008

This question has always been in my curiosity ever since I started playing this game, but now I know, and it's quite obvious what they do with it.

THEY SMOKE IT!

That's right! I think it's automatically revealed once you mix more than one herb and then putting it on what seems to look a bit like rolling paper. What else would you think they would do with it, rub it on themselves. That's how they survive from all those monsters and zombies. THEY'RE HIGH. I don't think they would ever survive in that mad house without a bit of green herb on their side.

Would you pay 400 Microsoft Points on a Virtual Fireplace?

Monday, December 22, 2008



Stressful day? Why don't you sit down, and warm yourself up in front a nice warm fireplace. In your TV that is. If there was a trial for it, I would have definitely have bought it, but since there isn't, it's totally not even worth it. You could be able to download it here, but it's not even a game, really. You don't even use the controller or anything like that nature. You just look and stare. I would understand if someone actually did download this if they've never had a real one in their home, and never really had a chance to sit in front of one, but it's just a $4 screensaver, or $5 I think. It's really not even worth it.

This game was classified by the community with the following category scores - Violence=0/3, Sex=0/3, Mature Content=0/3. Enjoy the awesome ambiance of a crackling fireplace in your living room. With realistic smoldering embers and flickering flames it sets the perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening.

What do you think?

Update: o_O There is a trial! The only difference is that the trial has a "Buy Now" text on the lower left. Wow!

Bands I Want to Put onto Rockband 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour

Saturday, December 20, 2008





Now, I'm not as much of a fan in Guitar Hero than I am in Rock band. Rock Band has always been in my heart since day one when I first it. The game ALMOST, I'm supposedly hearing, has 500 songs, but personally I haven't heard of most of them.

Haven't you ever imagined yourself playing a song from your favorite band on Rock Band. Seems to good to be true though, right. Well, it takes a lot of licensing and paper work in order to do that, I think. What bands would you want to add onto Rock Band or GT:WT. I know a few. As a matter of fact, I know a lot. I bet at least four of them from the list are wanted by almost every Rockband or Guitar Hero fanatics. I'll give you a list here.

My Desired Bands I Want onto Rock Band 2 or GH:WT Wishlist (so far)
-Led Zeppelin
-Queen
-Beatles
-Arctic Monkeys
-Pink Floyd
-My Bloody Valentine
-Neil Young
-U2
-More Elvis Costello
-Bruce Springsteen
-Kinks
-George Harrison
-Eric Clapton
-More Jimi Hendrix

What's your list?

Seriously forgot about Sims 3!

It's not that I don't care, I just never get a chance to actually take a look at the game. I'm too damn busy, but here's the newest trailer. It looks great so far! What do you think?

The next sequel to Star Wars: KOTOR is finally a reality




Now this game is going to be freakin' sweet, and I just know it. Besides the exclusion of the word "Knights" in it's name, the game does have one big difference which will guarantee to make it's continuing franchise a delicious dominating success. You guessed it readers, it's finally going to be an MMORPG. I mean think about it. a Star Wars MMORPG?!? I may need a jaw replacement for this shocker. I can't see how this game will fail when the critics have their hands on it. Despite the fact that it's only for the PC and (I'm guessing in the future)Mac, this should definitely ace to the top of the charts, and who's ever heard of an MMO for a gaming console.

The story takes place in the Star Wars fictional universe shortly after the establishment of a tenuous peace between the re-emergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, 300 years after the events of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games and 3,500 years before the events in the Star Wars films. The Jedi, held responsible for the Sith's success, are forced to relocate from Coruscant to Tython, where the Jedi order was founded. The Sith control Korriban, where they re-established a Sith Academy.
-Wikipedia

But although with deep excitement, I do wonder why Bioware took the "Knights" off. I mean, you think this will effect the way KOTOR fans see the new sequel. To me it didn't really matter, but time to time, it really started to get under my skin. Why did they take it off? Also, I can't even begin to imagine how long this game is going to be. This game is going to kick ass!

Playstation Home will eventually stop being creepy and disurbing

Thursday, December 18, 2008


I admit that's kind of funny!


It can't go on forever, and if it does, it'll just turn into another huge "Boy's Only Club", and who the hell is going to want that. But eventually it'll stop. Maybe a couple of months after the final version is released, because remember, it's still only a beta. Just imagine how many people there's going to be after the final release, including girls. That's when it'll get tough for creepy weirdos, because there'll be too many of them to abuse. I could already imagine a huge group of girls rampaging and fighting against one of those creeps. I seriously can't wait!

Sonic and the Black Knight involves sword combat? WTF!

Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Why are you holding that sword Sonic? Why?



Just as things were turning out great, seems as though things are too good to be true. My question for Sega is, why would anyone want to see Sonic with a sword, and why the hell do you want him to hold one in the first place. And who is this black knight, and please don't tell me it's Martin Lawerence, because that's very corny, and I'm not laughing Sega. Honestly, I'm not. My opinion is, I have a really bad feeling about this, but let's just see how it does when it comes out.

What I learned from the Resident Evil 5 demo.



I've managed to get my hands on the Resident Evil 5 demo, and as I was playing it, I realized that it's missing something. When you get a chance to play it, you'll know what I mean. I guess it all started way back when I first played Resident Evil 4. I loved every part of this game, but is this really a sequel to the Resident Evil series. My older brother loves Resident Evil. I remember way back in the late 90s when I used to watch him play this game, but when I got a chance to play it, it immediately became my favorite game for the Playstation. After Resident Evil 0 my brother has never played another Resident Evil again, and I asked him why, and you know what he said? "There hasn't been another Resident Evil after zero. Right?", and I couldn't agree with him more. When I saw the previews for Resident Evil 4, I right away thought that this was just some game that Capcom made, and decided to name it Resident Evil 4. I wasn't really looking forward to this game, but when I got to play it, I loved it. But then again, this isn't anything like the old Resident Evil games besides the green herbs and the first aid spray, but I didn't really care, cause it was SO good.

When I saw the first trailer to Resident Evil 5, right away I thought this was going to be a great sequel, especially since Chris Redfield's in it, but when I saw the gameplay, I got pissed off. Then when I played the demo, instead of being pissed off, I just got upset. The controls for this game is just horrible for the 360. It took me at least four tries to get used to the controls, and when I mean tries, I really mean gameovers. Call me a noob all you want, but this game is just flat out hard. Not only the controls are hard, the inventory screen got me angry because the game doesn't pause when you're using it, and I understand this since there's online and offline co-op. Everytime I needed to use a herb I had to hide inside a house like a little wuss and then use it, but I can't stay in there for that long since there's a huge dude with an axe chasing me and not to mention the other enemies coming out of nowhere, and there's so many of them. IT'S INSANE! I can't even stop to pick up a green herb, or exchange an object with my partner without one of those people attacking me. I mean for godsakes, leave me in peace for just one second please. What are there problems anyways, Christ. I see why people like this game, and I sort of agree with them since I only played the demo. but we'll just have to wait and see until to the game finally comes out.

What I learned from the Resident Evil 5 demo is that there is never going to be a sequel to this series that will be similar to the old Resident Evil games, but I hope I'm wrong with this.

Why is Sonic Unleashed such a Bad Game?

Tuesday, December 16, 2008


If critics think Unleashed was that bad, then they're just flat out saying both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 are bad games too, and maybe more worse. So yeah, the werehog levels aren't so exciting, but that's only on the early stages. I mean, you do know that every stage you beat, you can add EXP to your combat, strength, life, or any others that you can improve. That's when it gets less annoying and playable.

Once I beat the game, I still played through some of the "hedgehog" stages just cause I like it, and for the hell of it. I just find it so fast, thrilling, and even gives me goosebumps, especially on Act 2 of Apotos. But this is where the curiosity begins. As I was playing through the "hedgehog" levels, I start wondering why this is worse than both of the Sonic Adventure games. So, I whipped out both my Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 games for the Gamecube and played through only the Sonic stages. Now let's start with the 1st one. WTF? I actually thought this was fun? This is basically a disgrace to the whole Sonic Series. It is so freakin' slow, and it's too platformy. The 2nd Adventure was a little better but the platforms in this game just doubled especially in the stages at the end of the game.

The truth is, I actually felt a connection with Unleashed and the old 2d Sonic games. The hedgehog stages always kept me off my seat, and the werehog was NOT BAD! Really, it was not that bad. Hopefully Sega will release a Sonic game with Only hedgehog stages. I know this is going to happen, but as for now, I'm just waiting, and hey maybe, similar to Megaman 9, Sega will release another 2d Sonic game, and maybe even call it "Sonic the Hedgehog 4". That would be weird and sweet at the same time.

Update: The music in Unleashed is kick ass!
