The folks over at Ain't it Cool News are reporting an awesome rumor that Both the Iron Man movie and Hulk movie are shooting a scene TOGETHER!!! Check out the story over there, and remember, it's still a rumor, so don't go getting too excited, but I sure as hell am!

Best Comic Description EVAR

From Marvel's Website:

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS # 6
The Story: "Hey Cyclops, you seen my powers anywhere?"
"Naw."
"Ay-ay, where my wings go at?"
"Dag, I'm all havin' to lift up my coffee with my HANDS, yo."
"Dang. We cold done lost our powerz."

WATCH THIS NOW!!! Slapsgiving

This is Marshall's Slapsgiving song, "You just got slapped." It's fan-freaking-tastic.

Word.

Watch this Now - YouTube

This is Derrick Comedy. If you haven't watched them, do it now! Funny funny stuff. I know it's complete toilet humor, but you know what, it goes on just long enough to not be un-funny.

Word!

Krause, I hardly knew her!

ABC, the first network to do so since the strike began, has picked up a half season show for the whole shebang. Than show is Dirty Sexy Money, and if you're not watching it, you suck.

I usually hate shows about people with money and problems, but the cast in this one is so damn good that it doesn't matter. The money is just a plot device, and isn't the focus of the show.

I'll watch Peter Krause read the paper, so it's pretty nice he can be on TV and such. Especially now that he's on network, not HBO (Which I don't get).

"Over my dead body will Colbert's name be on the ballot."

It looks like mock pundit Stephen Colbert may hit a roadblock. The good folks over at CNN, a 'right thinking' news source, have posted a story describing what problems "Mr. America" will face in running for office in South Carolina.

In the article, it states that Colbert is planning on running as a Democrat in the state, simply because they charge less to run. It costs $2,500 to run for the Democrat Primary in SC, as opposed to $35,00 for the GOP.

But the money isn't the only problem. Colbert doesn't seem to be what the South Carolina Democratic committee deems "nationally viable," which simply means he isn't campaigning anywhere else.

Read more about it here, and make sure that you go and support the Colbert Nation!

"Stephen Colbert, the right choice for your future."

The Best News EVAR!

CRANK 2!

That's right, a sequel to the most frenetic action movie ever is slated to go into production ASAP. I just hope the script is done and doesn't get affected by the WGA writer's strike.

Crank 2: High Voltage

Here's the premise: "(Chev Chelios [Jason Statham]) faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working."

How does that not rule to all ends o' the earth? Statham has decided to take this project on before the strike hits, so I can't wait.

Wolvie Gets Officialized

Over at Marvel's website they have announced that the Wolverine movie, slated for a May 1, 2009 the film will officially be titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This makes it relatively clear that they are planning a whole host of X-Men Origins... movies, with Magneto being the subject of the next. Unfortunately, after these two, have any other characters from the films been at all compelling enough for their own feature? Let us know what you think!

HOLY CRAP! Parallel Universes Exist!

So it looks as if those wacky bastards at DC Comics and Sliders were right, parallel universes do exist, according to this Oxford University Study.

Propers to Joe Shakespeare over at Brian K. Vaughan's Forums for cluing me into this story:

Parallel universes exist - study

Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".

The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.

In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe.

A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless.

It is a bizarre idea which has been dismissed as fanciful by many experts. But the new research from Oxford shows that it offers a mathematical answer to quantum conundrums that cannot be dismissed lightly - and suggests that Dr Everett, who was a Phd student at Princeton University when he came up with the theory, was on the right track.

Commenting in New Scientist magazine, Dr Andy Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California at Davis, said: "This work will go down as one of the most important developments in the history of science."

According to quantum mechanics, nothing at the subatomic scale can really be said to exist until it is observed. Until then, particles occupy nebulous "superposition" states, in which they can have simultaneous "up" and "down" spins, or appear to be in different places at the same time.

Observation appears to "nail down" a particular state of reality, in the same way as a spinning coin can only be said to be in a "heads" or "tails" state once it is caught.

According to quantum mechanics, unobserved particles are described by "wave functions" representing a set of multiple "probable" states. When an observer makes a measurement, the particle then settles down into one of these multiple options.

The Oxford team, led by Dr David Deutsch, showed mathematically that the bush-like branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes.

That was taken from here.

fighting the covenant in the name of doing good...

I know I usually talk about gaming on here, and that's primarily because I'm the best player on the blog. But no, seriously, I am participating in an awesome Halo 3 Tournament on Saturday, October 20th. The tourney is sponsored by the Cavegirls, a group who hosts gaming fourms here. These awesome people have decided to host a tournament to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. More info on the tournament can be found by going to their forums, and if you don't want to play, you can still donate! Gaming for a cause! DO IT!

The Simple Reason Why Halo 3 Rules...

Now, If you don't understand the following clips, that just means that you've not played Halo at all yet. These are two ridiculously awesome plasma grenade sticks...

The Orange Box

Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Episode 1
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2

Go buy it now.

It is awesome. I've played a bit of Portal, TF2, and HL2 so far, and here we go:

Portal: Great, great time, it's a first person action puzzler shooter. Yeah. Try that one on for size biznatch!

TF2: A bit laggy, but the most personality driven multiplayer only game I've ever played.

HL2: Looks ridiculous on the XBOX! They've added HDR (Geek speak for fancy lighting) and re-done a lot of the textures on everything (Makes everything/one look prettier).

SO, if you're waiting, don't. IF you don't have an XBOX 360, go buy one, Halo 3, and The Orange Box, that's essentially 7 games for the price of 2. How can you afford not to? I mean REALLY!

new meme: one sentence blogs: spider-man 3

Spider-Man 3 was worse than Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Why do I keep watching Prison Break

Anyone? Anyone?

I mean, it's ok, but it seems to be a glorified MacGyver. only without Richard Dean Anderson. And if RDA isn't involved - what's the point?

I still watch every week, but it doesn't do so much for me.

I don't know, I just would prefer them to let shows like this to die after one or two seasons. It's like we need to force TV to be more meta than it needs to be.

Also, I'll try and not suck as a blogger. But no promises.

Also, Jersey does in fact suck.

Sony does SOMETHING right

Check out this story from the Gamesindustry.biz folk - at the UK release of the PS3, Sony gave the first 125 customers in line free Sony Bravia LCD TVs valued at $2500.00. That's finally doing something right with this system by consumers.

AND no one got shot. Which is good!

3 Things

1) I had no intention of making M think that I in any way shape or form truly support anything DC does. I only meant to say that Marvel should rip-off their strategy.

2) D should never disagree with me, because if he does, It'll catch up with him. He knows what I mean.

3) I don't really have anything, it's just that 3 items always sound better than 2.

Why Corporate Parenthood is Good for Comic Movies

According to Moviehole, Warner Brothers is planning on using Superman in their upcoming Justice League movie. Wha huh??? This is about the best idea I've heard in a while. DC Comics is owned by Warner Brothers, which is the production company for all DC Comics inspiried movies. That means that Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman can be in the same movie, without going through more hoops than a trick poodle at a state fair. Marvel really missed out on this opportunity until they recently opened their own production company. Now, theoretically, Spidey can swing by in the background of the Wolverine movie, and the Avengers movie can actually come together, and still allow Captain America (R.I.P.) and Iron Man to have their own movies. I don't know if BJ Routh will be reprising his role as Supes, but I'm ok if someone else dons the Blue and Red. Different comic artists draw characters differently in different books, so why can't another actor play Superman? Although - for the sake of continuity - I hope he does come on board.

Wii're Problematic

I own a Wii. I love my Wii. But I have a problem. I am purposefully not finishing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I am not doing this because it is too hard, or too long, or too disappointing a game, no I am doing this because I don't have anything to play when I'm done.

The Wii is suffering from a relatively familiar problem in the games industry, the first 6 month drought. Because of a number of factors about getting games published, most new consoles ship with one, maybe two, games that are actually worth playing. And no, Happy Feet ain't one of them. I'll possibly find time in the near future to finish up the newest adventure of Link and Zelda, but really I just wish console makers would be more on top of this problem so that during every new console launch we're not sitting around waiting for the next good game.

Super Paper Mario gets released on April 9, and Smash Brothers Brawl comes out this summer. But please Nintendo, get on your ball. Get some quality games out there soon.
