Lego Star Wars 3 slated for this fall

Yes, this fall lego start wars 3: The clone Wars is being released on all systems. Yes, that’s right, every single one of them.

This is great news because the first 2 lego Star Wars games were some of the best games ever. They’re unique, and fun, and very addicting.

I mean, who doesn’t like star wars? Or legos? Therefore, this will most likely be the game of the year. On all systems, of course.

Well, the Saints won

Ya, they did.

It was a good game, but the Colts lost, and were all in all outplayed. The Saints doing an on side kick to start the second half was very unexpected, and proved they were playing to win.

The commercials were meh, but there were a few good ones.

This one was great, because it’s Brett Favre. And it’s humorous.

This one was actually pretty good as well.

What a brilliant plan.

However, most of the commercials were stupid and unmemorable.

Good game though.

Preparations for War: The Martian Saga

Preparations for War: The Martian Saga

February 18, 2083, Town Square.
The Mayor new this would be the start of the war. He didn’t want to do it. But he knew he must.
“Let the battle begin!”
January 5th, 2083, Helian’s Castle.
Frank and Yacov were sitting at a table eating lunch, when Helian came in.
“Hey Boys, it’s time for training. After all, Shigeru Miyamoto did come all this way to instruct us in the ways of war, isn’t it Mr. Miyamoto?”

“Yes it is, since I have nothing to do for the next 4 months. Lots of vacation time, you see.”

“So,” Frank asked, “What will you be teaching us?”

“I shall tell you, but first I want all the troops gathered up. Helian, Get them here now.”

“I will Now give you all your positions”, Stated Helian, “ Me, General. Frank, Co-General. Penguin, Frank’s apprentice, Otis-scout, Ms. Florigon- Infiltration, Yacov-Intelligence, Julian and Polter- Defense experts, Jack the Zipper- Ummm, Well I don’t care. And of course it Mr. Miyamoto as are trainer. Any Objections?”

“Well, don’t we need a—” Yacov was cut short, as an interdimensional portal opened up, and two people fell out, and then it closed.

Now, many people think an interdimensional portal takes you through space, but it takes you through Space AND Time. While going through one, you pass through Every single point in time and space at once. To imagine this, first think of a circle. Now, have the circle start flaming and have 10 ducks stand at the center of the circle. Then draw an infinite line so it goes straight AND passes through every point on the circle, yet missing the ducks and the flames.

Once you can imagine that, you can know how interdimensional portal work.

However, Bob Justice and Vivi did not. They did not get lucky either though. For if you go through a interdimensional portal you will never get to where you want. But as the case with these two, they DID NOT know where they wanted to go, so they ended up where they were needed. On Mars. Right in time to be trained. Lucky them.

“—Someone with good logic skills?” Yacov Finished.

“Did someone say they Needed Logic skills?” Yelled Bob Justice, not caring where he was. Then remembering his mission to find out what happened to Frank and Yacov, “I found them, Case Solved!”

“Were stranded on Mars surrounded by—“

Vivi looked around, and couldn’t believe what she saw. “A Mad scientist looking dude, a Penguin, Is that a dust Bunny, That thing looks Hideous (That was Jack, of course) ,And all you care about is that you found Frank and Yacov? Why do they all have weapons…?”

“Because were training,” Said Frank. “Oh, and Hi. What are you doing on Mars!”

“I don’t know, going mad maybe.”
“Welcome to my life,” Muttered Yacov.

“Now what?” Asked Bob Justice.

“You help me take over Mars!” Shouted Helian.

January 5th, 2083, Sasorix’s castle.
Sasorix examined his troops. First was SNLD, his right hand man. Second was BloodSucker, the vampire who was always drunk. BloodSucker was like any other Vampire, with worse luck. He always seemed to drink the blood of drunk people, making him drunk. And nobody likes a drunk vampire. (Well, No one likes Vampires in the first place because they drink your blood. And they can’t love at all. Take that Most other Stories!) Bozo, the killer clown. Actually, that’s all there is to say about him. His clown cars explode, his nose is a bomb, and his flowers squirt liquid Nitrogen. There was also Joe, the melodramatic Window washer. He was always complaining about everything. However, he had an IQ of 200, so he was pretty smart. There was also Angelina, the Catgirl from zelga 23. She had the power to manipulate interdimensional portals, and use them at her will.
“Where are they?” Muttered Sasorix angrily. “There late!”
“THERE ON THEIR WAY, THEY JUST TEXTED ME.”
“I’m not waiting, I’m going to train.” Bozo then left after saying this.

January 20th, 2083, Helian’s Castle.

Yacov was tired. The last 15 days he had spent coming up with a strategy to beat Sasorix. Then Frank came into the room to bother him.

“Hey Yacov, I learned how to operate a T-17 Blaster! And My NAI1 can shoot people as well. It even has a cook book! Can you belive a game system has a cook book?”

“I’m more surprised it can be used as a gun.”

“Mr. Miyamoto Loves Guns, Why wouldn’t he put it into a hand held device?”

Yacov of course had no clue what to say to that. Anything he said would be to reasonable for Frank to understand. Then Vivi walked in, also tired.

“What did I do to get into this training? It’s exhausting. I Just want to go home and play some Last Chronicles 6,768.”

“Why,” asked Frank, “That series went downhill after number 2,435. It’s all crap now.”

“Because it would be better than this training and all of this stuff that doesn’t make sense! Why should we even try to stop Sasorix? He’s not our problem? Why don’t we go back to earth?” Vivi was now yelling.

“Because if we went back to earth we couldn’t defeat Sasorix and take over Mars. And who wants to take over Earth?”

January 25th, NASA II
The General picked up the phone and called his contact.
“They are all on Mars now, so we have nothing to fear. Yes, even that too smart for his own good detective. Yes, I do want to move to phase two now. What do you mean you’re not ready! Get on with it. Ugh…”

The General hung up. His plan was now underway. Slowly maybe, it might even take years. But he had time. No one could stop him now…

January 28th, 2083, Sasorix’s castle.
They had Finally come. What had took them so long? Sasorix, to say the least, was mad.

“Umm… we were late because… ummm…”

“because we had to buy some weapons, ya that’s it! We were buying weapons, right Bro?”

“Oh, ya, and soft drinks! We needed those too.”

Sasorix was starting to wonder why he had hired these two. They were Guzzinites, one of the strongest intelligent life forms around. Well, I meant to say sentient, not intelligent, as there not very smart. Until it comes to beating people up. They can do that without thinking. Which is good, because they can’t think well.

“Whatever. Just get training. It’s fast approaching. And we must win, no matter what. If we don’t, Helian will become the most popular in town, and we don’t want that.”

February 10th, 2083, Helian’s castle.

“Only 8 days before the first battle”
Sasorix was explaining what was going down. He had assembled the troops for briefing.

“We must win this battle. It is very crucial. If we don’t, Sasorix stays in control of the town. We must win no matter what. It will be a very deadly and difficult contest…”

“What kind of contest? A sword fight?” Frank asked.

“Maybe a game of chess,” Yacov asked hopefully.

“Or a murder mystery,” hazarded Bob Justice.

“You can only wish. This is 19X harder than any of those. It’s the 34th annual Martopolis Bake-Off! Can any of you bake?”

“Wait, if we are participating in a Bake-Off, Why did we go through weapon training?” asked Yacov sensibly.

“We should of learned to bake.”

“YOU MEAN YOU WASTED WEEKS OF MY LIFE ON SOMETHING I DON’T NEED” Yelled Vivi.

“Yes.”

“well Let’s get Crackin,” stated Bob Justice, while donning a pair of sunglasses. “We have 8 days to learn.”

“You can’t, you must finish your other training first,” Stated Mr. Miyamoto. “It will take at least 7 days.”

February 17th, 2083, Sasorix’s castle.
“Welcome, Master Chef, I’m glad you could make it too help us.”
“Of course. I am at your service. With me at your side, you can’t lose.”
February 17th, 2083, Helian’s castle.

The day before, all the weapon training had been finished. Today was a day to learn how to cook.

“So, ummm…, Who here can cook at all”

Only Vivi and penguin raised their hands.

Well, we have a lot of work to do. Let’s get to it!”

The rest of the day, they tried to cook, to no great avail. They burnt the Eggwhites, Blew up the grent rolls, and set fire to the apple pie. By then end of the day, their success rate was very low. They did however perfect the Truffle Crukes though. Too bad that was only one of the requirements. The day was coming to a close.

Sasorix stood up and tried to boost the Morals. “For over a month we have trained hard and tomorrow is the day of reckoning. We shall win, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Don’t believe in yourself! Believe in me, who believes in you!”

And with that pep talk, they went to bed.

February 18, 2083, Town Square.
The Mayor new this would be the start of the war. He didn’t want to do it. But he knew he must.
“Let the battle begin! The 34th annual Martopolis Bake-Off is now underway!”
The crowd went wild.

To Be Continued…..

Worst game ever.

What is the worst game ever?

Most people agree that its Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. When you start, you get to pick a car, they all look the same, and a track, which also all look the same. Typical racing game.

The first problem is The A.I. doesn’t exist. Sure, the car is there, but it doesn’t move. You can’t lose. But so what?
It’s an easy game. That’s fine.

The main problem is Over the Road is way to true. Want to drive through the wall? Why not. Drive through obstacles? You got it! Drive up a 90 degree wall? If you want, go for it! Nothing is stopping you, seeing your not actually racing. In fact, this game invented free open worlds!
You can also accelerate backwards Indefinitely!

And when you win, because you can’t lose, you get “YOU’RE WINNER !”. Bad grammar for a bad game!

Here’s the worst part, it has 5 tracks. And the 5th one doesn’t work. It just Crashes your game. Yay!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/41/Big_Rigs_-_Over_the_Road_Racing_Coverart.png

While it is a bad game, If you want to win, play it. If you suck at games and want an easy game, play it. Low self-esteem? Play it!

Want an open world game? Play it! It’s still a bad game. But it has it’s uses.

trust me, it’s metacritic score is 8%.

Galvanized Justice

Galvanized Justice

By Brendan Brunner and Chris Oaks

In a house on deer skeleton drive, the CSI unit enters the house because the nosey neighbor noticed a broken window on the house next door. The lead CSI investigator, Bob Justice, notices a body in the living room. He checks the body to see if he is still alive, but there is a gaping wound in his chest and he is pronounced dead. The crime scene is taped off and the forensic scientists enter the scene but not before Bob Justice takes off his sunglasses and says “Lets get cracking”. Upon entering, they discover a muddy footprint in the carpet. At a closer glance, the scientist notices the shoe is custom made because it is a size 16 and the victim owns size 11 shoes only. The victim’s name is found on his boat liscence. His name is Izzy Dead and his age is 43. The forensic scientists discovered a clump of purple hair laying in the victim’s hand. All of the evidence and the body was bagged and transported to the forensic lab downtown.

Upon further investigation of the purple clump of hair, the scientists discover that the cuticle is of a human, the cortex is slightly curled, and that the medulla is fragmented. The scientists also find a bit of tissue on the end of a hair and use that to make a DNA profile. A fiber was found on Izzy Dead that was a polymer which didn’t match with Izzy’s clothes that were made up of natural fibers. Since another piece of fiber was found on Izzy, the forensic scientists used Locard’s Principle to determine that it was from another person. At a closer glance, the scientists found a small chip of metal covered in paint flakes. They looked at the protons and electrons of the nucleus of the piece of metal under a microscope to determine that it was galvanized steel. They also used emiision spectra to support their conclusion that it was galvanized steel. The scientists used gas chromatography on the paint flakes to determine that the paint is from a type of axe. They also discovered that the minerals from the muddy shoeprint were from the district of Beaverbottles by using the density-gradient tube.

The lead investigator, Bob Justice, searches the district of Beaverbottles for the owner of the custom shoes. After searching many houses, no one matched the custom shoes except one person, Joe Murder, which upon meeting, Bob Justice thought to himself, “That is one suspicous looking gentlemen”. Bob Justice used the evidence to get a search warrant of Joe Murder’s house. Upon entering, Bob Justice feels strangely drawn to the basement, in which he finds a bloody axe. Bob Justice and Joe Murder randomly engages in a fist fight, Bob Justice is hit many times to the ground. Joe Murder then says “nice trip, see you next fall”, Bob Justice then amazingly stands up and says “Nice joke, but you forgot the punchline”. As Bob is saying his line, he winds up a punch and knocks Joe out with one punch. Days later, using the evidence, Joe was placed in court, and when the judge asked Joe Murder why he did it, he said “It was an axe-cident”. Joe Murder was then placed in jail for 3,000 consecutive years.

Spelling mistakes included

My friends epic story!

Random quote Thursday, Fear edition!

“we have nothing to fear but fear itself”
-FDR

A Great quote by a great president. FDR was trying to get the country through the Great Depression, and used this quote to try to calm people. It’s also a pretty witty quote. This guy was smart.

But it’s not realistic at all. It should be like this.

“we have nothing to fear but fear itself”*

*If you have a personal army of body Guards. Or you are God.

Much better.

Or:

“we have nothing to fear but fear itself”*

*Does not apply when you are being chased by murders, Thief’s, people with masks and guns, and vampires/werewolves/monsters.

Or:

“we have nothing to fear but fear itself”*

*Not when you are watching a scary movie. You are supposed to be scared.

or even:

“we have nothing to fear but fear itself”*

*Except saying a flawed quote, and people believe it.

So while it is a great Quote, it is not realistic. There are stuff to fear other than fear. However, you should fear fear. And the way our president is heading the country. And how NBC is doing.

And most of all, Sonic 4. I hope it’s good, but you never know.

Here is the new trailer.

Hope and fear for this game. I don’t know what will come….

The Grinder Preview

I don’t really lie FPS’s. Never have, never will.

I like survival FPS’s even less. Never even really played one.

But after the Conduit, I’m willing to try anything that HVS throws at us. And this game looks really good. You play as one of the 4 Hero’s and battle… Monsters! Vampires, Werewolves, all that good stuff.

But whats so great about it? It’s a Co-op game. You can play with your friends, offline, or Online. A co-op online game for the Wii. That’s new. Let’s look at the tailor

Ya, this game could be good. And seeing it’s being made by HVS, there isn’t much to worry about.

How NBC can be good again

NBC used to be a popular network, Now, however, it’s a piece of crap. But it can turn itself around, and here’s how.

1. Fire the CEO Jeff Zucker. This will solve about 40% of thier problems. I could do a better job then him. The whole Leno/Coco ordeal was his fault. If I were him I’d have just fired Leno. Then this mess would never have happened. This is his most recent mistake, but not the first. He must go. Soon.

2.Cancel every show currently on but The Office and Chuck. Seriously, these are the only 2 shows on NBC that are worth watching. Axe everything else. And this time put on shows that are good. All they need is 1 hit, and more will follow. Maybe they should try something that hasn’t been done before, something new. Anything will do, as long as it is new.

3. The sooner they merge with Comcast, the better. Maybe Comcast can turn them around. It’s their only hope now.

If NBC were to do these 3 things, they’d be on the map again.

Crocodile Tears Review

Crocodile Tears is the 8th book in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. And it is good. However, I feel as though I’ve read the same book 8 times. They all have the same plot.

Alex Rider just wants to be a normal kid, but gets sucked back into being a spy. He embarks in a dangerous mission, gets some cool gadgets, and escapes death several times. He makes some friends and many enemies. Then the main villain apprehends Alex, doesn’t kill him and TELLS ALEX HIS PLOT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. Alex escapes, defeats the evil villian with the help of his friends, and says he never wants to go on another mission again.

This is the plot of Crocodile Tears, and every other Alex Rider book written. It’s insane how he can get away WITH THE EXACT SAME PLOT EVERY TIME.

What’s worse? THERE ALL ENJOYABLE. I know what’s going to happen. I really do. But i still enjoy them. Why? There just enjoyable really.

The Alex Rider series is a must read. Even though there all the same, you’ll want to read it again. Why read the same book twice when you can read 2 identical books?

V: The Original Miniseries and V: The Final battle review

V: The Original Miniseries was a 2 part-Mini-series made in 1983. V: The Final battle aired 1 year later, and was a direct sequel with 3 parts. It’s all one story, so I’ll review it as such.

First the story. Aliens come and say they are peaceful. They are not. They have come to steal our water, get us as food, and then blow up our planet. Joy!

Then a group of freedom fighters is made, and they pull off some ridiculous stunts. They crash party’s, invade the mother ship, and other crazy heists. And they always succeed too. They can be outnumbered 100 to 1 and they still win. Why? Because no one can aim. I mean all the characters, good and bad, never seem to hit anyone.

But the characters are many, and there all great. Mike Donovan is the main main character. He’s the one always getting into trouble, and always winning. Then there is Juliet Parrish, the head of the resistance. She’s the one who Ok’s these crazy plans. there’s also Robert Maxwell and Mark, these scientists. They somehow get dragged in too. There is also a Mexican named Sancho, and i think he’s an illegal immigrant. He has almost no lines, But he’s in every major scene. He’s the wedge of V, only more important. Kind of. Later we meet Ham Tyler, who is awesome because he can aim. He seems like a mafia leader, but oh well. He’s good. Enough.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/V-FinalBattle-2002DVDcover.jpg

Then there are the V. John is the head, but he has no real power. Diana really controls everything. And she’s an awesome villain. But not all the V are evil. Martin is Mike’s contact, always helping him.

There are other characters as well.

It’s also a very fast paced show. There is always action and a battle being fought. It was a great mini series. The ending was good too. Wrapped it all up. Or most of it anyway.

In all, this show is worth watching. Sure it’s outdated, but who cares? So far the new V Remake has nothing on it. Or not much anyways. This show was dark too. Main characters would die. But only the main ones. Those extra characters who you just see go into battle, they never die. Odd. But it was humourous at times too, and all around good.

score- 9.8/10
