Tidings of Joy!
December 15th 2005, 21:06 CET by Chunkstyle

What are you asking for this year?  What are you buying others?  Why do English people eat puddings?  Why do people buy that album of dogs barking Jingle Bells?  What's your favorite Christmas memory?  Do you believe in Santa Claus, or are you a joyless Scrooge?

I will again say I didn't really like Supreme Power. So I guess it's a good thing you didn't listen to me.

Yes, I don't listen to you with regards to music, and that's served me well too.

Jeet- Walking Dead, Y-The last man, Ultimates and Fables.  Only one is a superhero comic, so they may not be what you want right now.

I have The Ultimates (and 2) on order for Christmas presents.  I had to leave some comics unpurchased for the delight of gift receiving.

On another note, I got a couple of early Christmas presents today: Indigo Prophecy and Steamboy (DVD).  I've only played about 30 minutes of IP, but so far it's brilliant.  As for Steamboy, I've just been watching it for about 15 minutes now, and I'm in awe of how it looks.  Wonderous and amazing.

Ultimates vol 2 is out? I thought only vol 1 had been released so far. Or are you not talking about the hardcover?

Hmm, I don't think so, Charlie Adlard has been on the book since the beginning.  Anyway it's by the same guy that does Battle Pope(sucks), Invincible(great) and Marvel Team-Up(great).

We saw Syriana and Harry Potter this weekend.  Harry Potter was better than the second one, worse than the third one.  Those movies are pretty boring when you aren't a real fan. So my wife loved it and I was bored and hour into it.  Maybe next movie when the female actors start having breasts.

Syriana was just the opposite.  I loved it and wanted it to keep going, my wife was bored out of her skull.  There are a ton of plotlines going on that you have to keep track of, but it's worth it.  This is one of my favorite movies this year.  Great acting by everyone involved, Clooney and Damon are great and there are a ton of cameos by top actors.

The Ultimates has Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 out, and The Ultimates 2 has Vol. 1 out.  I have no clue why it's not just The Ultimates Vol. 3 rather than The Ultimates 2 Vol. 1, but that's the way it is.

So I picked up all the monthly comics after Supreme Power Vol. 2 to bring me up to current.  I'm starting to fear that I'm reading too many books now and that Wednesdays will begin to see me as That Comics Guy, strolling out of the store with a huge stack of books each week.

I guess you didn't see these, then. (NSFW)

I went and saw King Kong yesterday. While it was entertaining, I'd stop short of calling it great. If you're on the fence, however, go see it. You won't regret it. Next up" taking the wife to a free screening of Memoirs of a Geisha.

Free screenings are cool because they usually take place before the movie has actually opened.

Well that's something different. Is the thought behind them letting a batch of people see the movie first and for free so that they feel better about it and advertise it by spreading 'the word'?

I thought you call those 'pre-screenings'.

Uh, what? He gets tickets for free, so him and the wife. There is no deep meaning or lack of it, move on.

My time is far more valuable than the price of movie tickets.  The time is the concession.  The $20 for the tickets is a nominal fee.

He says it's free because the movietrailer looked about as boring as boring could be? That'd be my take.


King Kong is a solid good movie. It's beautiful, full of adventures and you get to see things that are quite magnificent. By all means I wish it happy millions upon millions of profit.

Still though, it's a fucking monkey, and yes I get it, I really really get it by now that man is the monster and the monkey really has a great heart. Jesus. Man finds monkey, they go on wild rampaging rampages through jungle and new york, and that's it.

I really cannot include this in any sort of top whatever movie (well apart from the obvious ones such as Best Movie Featuring Gigantic Ape I suppose..). In the past I've genuinly been touched by certain movies, or seen something I thought was a really great idea or twist (and we're not talking brainy arteestic movies either, this is Butterfly Effect and Dracula 2000 I'm refering to). But King Kong is beautifully rendered resonably shallow actionsequences that gets your heart pumping and tickles the funnybone every so often. And that's great and all, but nothing to remember in a couple of weeks.

Not unlike the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

A neighbor brought over a launch team 360 last night. It is my new favorite toy. My ex-roommate tossed me a usb stick with his vacation pics from the philipines on it, and I plugged in my mp3 player, and was playing a DJ set from my player while it was doing a slideshow of his vacation. Get the party started in a nice lowkey visually slick way.

However that's not why this is the coolest trip toy ever. It is the coolest trip toy ever because of neon. It's 5:30 am, and everyone is coming down all cracked out, talking about low key stuff. Conversations at this time are delightfully stupid. At any rate, someone puts on some chill music and passes around the controller, and people take turns playing with the visualizer. That can keep cracked out people entertained for hours. Pure awesomeness.


Between that and drunken geometry wars, I've had an asspot of fun with this console, and haven't even played one of the games yet. Worth every penny, especially if you have an HD projector.

Oh, I'll give bago this one.  My friends and I would stay up all night playing video games or pnp rpgs, and at 3 am or whatever playing music, the old visualizer on the 3DO was pretty entertaining.  And no, we were neither drunk nor high, just vaguely zoned out in that 3am kind of way.
