Top 10 Films of 2012

Before I begin, I must say that I've gone over this list a lot in the past few weeks as I saw Django Unchained, The Hobbit, Life of Pi, and Les Miserables and tried to fit them all in. I think I am satisfied with the list as it is now.   The second thing I must notify you all of are the films I unfortunately did not make it to, those being: Lincoln, Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and so far, Zero Dark Thirty. The last film in that list is currently playing at my

Movies I Should See in 2013

So I'm trying to create a list of the ten films I'm looking forward to most in 2013... the problem is... I only know like, ten period, and I know for certain that Thor: The Dark World is not what I'm waiting for. Will I see it? Probably. But I'm not really anticipating it.   So I am asking you all for movies that you've heard of, know all about, or seen the trailers for that you're looking forward to. Then I will watch their trailers and stuff, and then I can decide what I want to watch.   The m

Les Mis: Should I See It?

Alright, so I'm considering seeing Les Miserables. It's not an issue of money because I got a movie card thing, so I can see it if I want to. But:   1. I have never seen the play.   2. Beyond it taking place in France and the names of some characters, I know nothing about it.   3. I absolutely HATED THE TRAILER. LIKE, worst trailer of all time.   4. And yeah.   So should I see it or no because I feel like I might hate it... ...but this is like, the one movie where hating on it would be sooooo w

Django Unchained - Review

Dr. King Schultz, a bounty hunter, buys a slave known as Django and gives him his freedom. The two strike a connection and become partners for the winter, providing Django with an opportunity to become a lethally accurate and fast shot with a gun.   I saw Django Unchained last night. It’s been my most anticipated film of the year since I saw the trailer in July, upsetting The Hobbit. It was a spectacular trailer to do that, because I’ve been following The Hobbit since early 2011. Usually I’ll lo

International Bacon

The IB program. I'm 100% honest when I tell you I never fail to spell the second word incorrectly. And right now I'm too tired to look it up. >.< Why I'm blogging about this I don't know, but I'm currently editing a ten minute video that isn't even regular course work for my religion teacher, and then I need to type up around 800 words by Friday in ways that must be done over several weeks.   Suffice it to say I've chopped internet time in half and I'm still falling behind. Ugh.   That sai

Magic Duel

I think that might be one of my favourite episodes... the only problems I had were   1) Gee, it's a wonderful lesson... on how to cheat.   2) Trixie didn't stay whyyyy

The Saxxies Sucked

Where was the Saxxy for Practical Problems? Honestly. The least they could've done was give it to Sabotage... the winning video wasn't funny at all.   Also, Story of a Sentry should've won best drama.

Name Change - The AfterWords: Preview 3

I have changed my name to yet another new-but-not-really-new name! Also because I hatehatehate two entries within a close time period, the third AfterWords preview is included here too. Here Furno plays a little prank on Takanuva Stars.   “What is it?” Takanuva Stars asked.   “I’m... I’m really scared right now.”   “What do I care?” Takanuva Stars asked. “Keep climbing, we’re seriously right there.”   “No, you don’t understand! My jetpacks, I can’t control them! They’re about to turn on!”   “You

The Pixar List - Brave - Rank 5

5th - Brave, 2012 iBrow Percentage: 90 (Revised)   Brave is a beauty, with its abundance of greens and blues and purples, and other soft or cool hues within the surroundings and the characters. This helps the main character, Merida, to stand out with her flaming orange hair. The film was one of my most anticipated this year, and I originally scored it with an 87% in a review. My reasons for upgrading it were because, during July (whilst preparing to do this list), I re-watched Brave, Toy S

The Afterwords: Preview 1 - Red vs. Blue

Coming up over the next few days until the release of The Afterwords on December 7th, I'll be treating the three readers of this blog to previews of scenes from the first season. In this first preview, we get a delicious sample of the Rocka & Evo combination and witness Rocka win out in a subtle argument about the show "Red vs. Blue".     Evo sighed and shook his head, plopping back down on the couch to continue watching the last few scenes of Season 6. Rocka chuckled and hopped over, poking

It'll Kill the Computer

But I'm going to attempt to download skype and steam onto the desktop this weekend so chatting can occur during the much-smaller amount of time I'm online.   That said, for those of you I've played TF2 or L4D2 with... don't expect that at all. If I so much as think about downloading either of them to this computer, it'll have the electronical equivalent of a heart attack.     Also, I watched "Too Many Pinkie Pies" today... I can give more thoughts tomorrow if you all want them, but suffice it t

Important Notice

So it turns out I have a 70-something grade in a subject I absolutely need a 90-something in (English... bloody fantastic) so as of the moment this blog entry is posted, I am killing all internet ties for the time being until each of my marks are above an 85. What does this mean?   For the Ambage: I will be unable to participate in any of the weekend write-offs until further notice. As a secondary note, do not expect me in the chats until this point arrives as well. If I find the time I might s

Left 4 Dead Tonight

Unfortunately, Blade is out until at least the 23rd by the sounds of it, so there should be two spots left open tonight. I'm assuming Hero will be on, because he's the one that downloaded the custom maps for us to try out.   That's right, no normal L4D2 tonight. B)   Anyway, signup here I suppose. I'm online all night since it's Friday, just need Hero...   Most likely starting time is in the window of 6:30-7pm eastern.

Left 4 Dead 2 tonight?

I'm considering playing some L4D2 tonight, so if anybody wants to join feel free. No, I don't have any particular time set in stone as of yet.

Don't Say It

Well, another Red vs. Blue season finale done and over with. Far better than the one in Season 9... but then, pretty much anything is better than Season 9 (except Season 3). By the way, freakin' watch the episode before reading this. Please.           First off: Didn't realy like where they were at the end... it just doesn't quite work out in my opinion. I'm sure I'll get used to it.   Second: Woohoo I was right about the Mysterious Blue Guy! But... him being Agent Florida I did not know. =P I (

Red vs. Blue Episode 22 Monday

Excited for Monday to come so that Season 10 may end. It's gonna be the best ending ever... of all time. I'm praying that the bue freelancer is revealed - and if he is, I'm hoping that it'll be in the modern segment so that we can see him in Season 11.

Left 4 Dead 2 Tonight

Chances are I'll be playing it some tonight - would anyone like to join?   Yes, Blade, I am assuming you will join in. That means there are two spots available, unless Mr. Chicken/Hero shows up, because we can't just kick out one of the main guys.

Free Copy of Left 4 Dead 2

If anybody here would like it, say so. And give me ten good reasons why I would want to give it to you, because chances are I've never actually interacted with you for more than a sentence or two.

400 Entries + Baseball

It turns out my entry on Red vs. Blue Season 10: Episode 21 was the 400th entry on this blog. So... woohoo, I guess? I need a life?] Moving onto baseball now...   I have died several times in Left 4 Dead 2. I have become incapicitated at least twice that amount.   Is it strange that this has never, ever happened while I was wielding the baseball bat as my melee weapon?

RvB Episode 21

It was... alright, I suppose. The music was good, and I loved both Carolina and Caboose in the beginning of the fight, but overall I felt like the Reds and Blues were just not in any immediate danger - partially because they were fighting as well as the Freelancers have been.   And the scene with Epsilon and Tex and the end... I think it would've made more impact if it hadn't been, you know, only two weeks since we saw that same sequence reversed.

Well, that was fun

With Hero + Blade playing L4D2... totally gonna buy this game sometime. Two campaigns done, and Blade was the only one left behind on one.   Oh, and I guess we lost the bot in the other, but they don't count. Cuz I said so. B)   More tomorrow! Now, Scream Fortress!

Help with Launching?

I'm trying to play Left 4 Dead 2, and it's giving some sort of error that it can't find a background widescreen or something. It also won't let me click anything or copy the text of the error, but it's something like that.   EDIT: error is that it can't find this:   materials/console/background01_widescreen.vtf
