Remember how awesome it was to go to games back in college, where the stadium was packed, and everyone was all hype?

Well I don’t, because SLU Sucks…

This is what we missed out on:

After about 50 txt messages and voicemails from Ellis, I decided to see if the Monster Black Ice Slurpee is really as great as he says. It’s good… However, it’s not the GREATEST thing in the world as he describes.

But, Beware…

I took a dump today and it was bright bluish green. Seriously… bright bluish green… no joke. It freaked me out. I was shocked, and didn’t know what happened… I didn’t recall being raped by a Smurf, eating any crayons, or being exposed to gamma radiation, but then remembered the Slurpee!

I did a google search on “monster black ice poop” and I’m apparently I’m not alone.

To the Slurpee scientists at 7-Eleven, I’m still wondering if you’re playing a big practical joke on us all, but for now, I’m giving you pricks my Asshole of the Week award.

Jerks!

About a month and half ago I wrote a post about how video game developers need to step up (click here to read it). Well, to they still haven’t stepped.

Though I’ve pretty much given up getting excited about new game releases, I am starting to see a small sliver of hope (a very small one) in the new James Bond game, “Quantum of Solace”…. Why? As, no shooter since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been worth a crap… Activision is using the Call of Duty game engine on this new James Bond game. So, it’s got potential…

I know, I’m setting my self up again for another disappointment.

Everyone agrees that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the greatest games made to date, and yes, it deserves the “Game of the Year” and other awards it has received… but, has it set the bar too high?

As an active video gamer, I enjoyed when new video games came out, but lately I find myself not even getting remotely excited about them.  I first picked up CoD4 in December of 2007, and have been playing it almost exclusively since.  I remember getting excited as Army of Two came out, thinking to myself that finally something will be able to get my attention away from CoD4, but I was sadly dissappointed.  EA did a great job marketing the game, the online videos and trailers were great, but the game really failed to deliver.  Then there was Rainbow Six: Las Vegas 2… RSLV 1 was OK, and I thought (hoped) that maybe the RSLV2 dev team may have realized that CoD4 is so bad ass that they needed to step up, and once again I was dissapointed.

After what seems to be an eternity of delays, Haze just came out.   Were these delays strategic?  Perhaps Ubisoft felt that there is no way Haze can compete with CoD4, that they delayed it so long in hopes that CoD4 gamers would get bored and switch to the next new thing?   I don’t know, just speculating. 

I’ve played the Haze demo, and the story mode I previewed was just ok, I like the concept behind the game, and to their defense, I am usually just playing in mutiplayer mode, and that demo didnt include that mode.  In fact, I never play the CoD4 story mode anymore, and perhaps Haze’s multiplayer may be good… but seriously, I’m not getting my hopes up. 

In fact, releases of new video games in general are not getting my hopes up anymore, and thats a bad thing.  EA, Insomniac, Guerilla, Ubisoft, Incognito, etc, STEP THE FUCK UP!  I mean seriously, look at CoD4, see what they did right, look at what made their game so successful, and then do something similar, if not take it to the next level!  In my personal opinion, I dont see why any game manufacturer would even consider releasing a product that may be inferior to CoD4.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Battlefield: Bad Company, Resistance 2, SOCOM: Confrontation are slated to be out somewhat soon, lets just hope they’ve done their homework, because someone really needs to do something to get me excited about new games again!

If the globe is so warm, why was it so cold this winter?

Running late, I speed to the airport in an attempt not to miss my flight, I rush thru the security line and barely make it on to my plane.  I skipped lunch, so I’m starving, but never fear, I’m in First Class, American Airlines will take care of me with a nice meal, right? 
WRONG!!!!
Here’s what I got:

WTF IS THAT!   That’s the First Class meal????   Look how tiny that bag is, and there’s hardly anything in it (yes, thats the entire contents of the bag)!  WTF is a Sesame Stick!  Then they have the nerve to call it a “PREMIUM SNACK MIX”?   There’s nothing Premium in the bag!

For this, American Airlines, AA, whatever you want to call yourselves… you are the PREMIUM Asshole of the week!
