Reaction to Millenium Falcon Sled

A few weeks ago I found something on G4TV.com not too long ago about a Millennium Falcon sled. If you know anything about me, you know that after reading something like this, I will make a bunch of bad puns. Brace yourselves, incoming bad jokes. The following are things that came to my mind almost immediately after reading the article. Obviously, I am beating some popular Star Wars quotes to death.

"She's the fastest sled in the galaxy."

"May the snow be with you."

"You will never find a more wretched hill of snow and villainy."

"I want that sled!"

"I don't know, sled casual."

"May the Farce be with you."

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good sled at your side, kid."

That's all I got. Unless you want more, that is.

Happy Holidays!

Christmas was yesterday, Hanukkah is ending, and what's next is New Year's, unless there are other holidays before then. I just posted to wish whoever may be reading this a very happy and safe holiday season. Try not to get too drunk.

Because I hate short posts, I'm going to go ahead and tell you *coughbragaboutcough* what I got for Christmas.

The best thing I got would have to be a new video card for my computer. I got a Nvidia eGeforce 9800 GT, and I upgraded from a Nvidia 7500. Just in case you didn't know, the 9800 is one of those fancy-schmany new video cards that handles the physics so the CPU doesn't have to, therefore freeing up the CPU. Really dramatic change from before. I can run Crysis on all the highest settings. I don't have Vista, so the Directx 10 options aren't available to me.

I also got Left 4 Dead, Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy's Endwar, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I can only play two of them at the moment. My headset broke, so trying to play Endwar is masochistic. And the Far Cry 2 disk had a crack in it, but I'll be getting another disk in a few days- hopefully this year.

Consider this the last post of the year, because it is. I have some stuff planned for the future, hopefully a lot more entertaining than previous posts. Expect them to be in the vein of the Rock Band Songs That Should Never Have Been in a Music Game post- you know, like I'm pretending I'm Cracked.com.

Quick Update

I was bored and decided to do a few things.  The blog now has:

• A poll
• A list of the labels/tags
• Anonymous users being allowed to comment (this means you don't need to have a Gmail/Blogger account to comment)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi

I'll try to make a few more posts before the year ends.

Save a Website: Halotivations

It has come to my attention that Halotivations is just about dead.

Before I go on, let me explain what Halotivations is all about:

No, it's not some sort of Halo-themed greeting card website.  

Halotivations is a blog for Halo-themed motivational posters.  Similar to motifake.com, but with Halo.  Everything else you need to know is at the website.

Now, here's the problem: no posters have been posted in over a month.  Judging from the comments and the second to last post, nobody has been sending in posters.  At all.  I haven't because three posters at a time is the most I have the creative energy to make (and I don't even take most of the pictures I use).

So do me a favor and head on over to Halotivations now, and make some posters.  It would be a shame to see this trend die...

Rock Band's Serious Offenses: Songs That Should Never Have Been In A Music Game

I've had a lot of complaints about some of the songs in Rock Band.  Now, even though a lot of them are for DLC, there are a few that don't deserve to be in a game relating to rock music.  Here is my list, you will likely disagree with me on some of them.

Starting with the songs on the disk:

Any Song By Rush

Rush.  They suck something big.  I'd rather play some John Mayer instead.

Nobody that knows a classic when they hear it should ever, ever listen to Rush.  I mean, Guns n' Roses with just Axl is still leagues better than Rush.

I am baffled as to why there's a Rush DLC pack available...

"Epic" by Faith No More

This is one of the most horrible songs I have ever heard in my entire life.  It sounds like some white kids trying to rap in front of the mirror to some 80s music.  And then when you get to the chorus, it sounds like Chester Bennington doing that not-screaming singing (yes, it does exist) while holding his nose. Good luck trying to sit through that music video.  And this song definitely is not epic, that's for sure.  It is an abomination of the term rock, and the master track needs to be burned A.S.A.P.

Songs by Oasis

Yeah, some of it might sound nice at first, but when you listen to what is being sung you realize that it sucks.  Really, Oasis are the guys that get punched in the face at their own concerts.  Seriously, that's pretty sad by anyone's standards.

Songs by All-American Rejects

I'll be honest with you, I used to listen to these guys.  I sort of liked it, but I never thought of it as rock.  Seemed too soft-sounding and it sometimes got so girly (note: they are all guys) that I wanted to punch them in the face along with Oasis.

DLC: Naked Brothers Band

This is probably the biggest offense in the history of music games.  These are the kids that have a stupid little Viva La Bam ripoff television show on Nickelodeon.  Did I mention that they don't even try to hide the fact that the show is staged?  Anyway, they make this type of music.

Just the thought of playing that kind of music in a game makes me sick, in the sort of "oh, Harmonix, what the hell have you done this time, you fucktards?" kind of way.

Those are all of the major offenses that I can think of at the moment.  Sorry if I missed any, but it's just so easy to overlook a bad song when so many suck to begin with.  Hope you enjoyed another one of my rants!
