Hillary Is Too Scary For Words

Hillary 1984

If they had found some other footage, this could have been even more frightening.

Sports Gal Trounces Sports Guy in NFL Picks Contest

This is just sooo great.

I looked at each game, jotted down my thoughts and quickly made the pick, then expanded them for each pick after the fact.

If I didn’t make it clear enough, I never spend more than 90 seconds total on my picks. [link]

So far she goes 127-104-9 to Bill’s 110-121-9. All I can say is, Bill should be forced to give her a trophy bigger than his Fantasy Football one. Scratch that. She should be allowed to put his trophy in storage. 8^)

Crysis: Good Game, Gone Bad

I’ve been looking forward to Crysis as far back as August 4th, 2006. Oh silly me, why should I have expected the game to be finished merely a year and a half later? If my first couple of hours with the game are any indication, it looks like the developers could have used a few more months to fix all the bugs.

Sure, the game looks great and you can’t fault them significantly for the game’s high hardware requirements, pushing pixels is heavy labor. But these bugs are expected and should have been taken care of with even the most basic of QA.

Just Kill Me Now

Here’s where my drama begins. Just the second chapter into the game mind you, I’ve fought past dozens of angry North Koreans to find a captured archaeologist. (My pal Psycho shows up at the last second just to grab some spotlight… fame whore.)

My next task, as verbalized by our loving commander, is to take out a couple of incoming Korean People’s Army (KPA) tanks that have been alerted to our presence. No problem. I merrily head off to do my job.

Will Ferrell Is Hilarious, Semi-Pro Will Rock

You can just tell. This movie is going to be good. At least for low-brow, slap-stick lovers like myself.

1. Cards From Heaven Have Dead Man Talking
   I love it! What an awesome idea.
2. Faithful Mark Christmas Day Across Globe
   Christians in Iraq not being beheaded. Who would have thought it possible?
3. Could a morbidly obese goalie shut out an NHL team?
   Very entertaining article. Great read!
4. The Prophesied End-Time Revealed
   Only problem? “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” -Matthew 24:36. Guess it’s just a money making scheme.
5. Top 25 Games of the Year
   Goodness! They ranked the Boise St. victory fourth?!? It’s likely the best college football game of all time. UK beating LSU comes in at #14, while a great game, wasn’t as big an upset as many think. Still, when you’re Kentucky, you’ll take any football win you can get. Which is why getting that win over UofL was so cool too!
6. TOP 10 BLUNDERS OF 2007
   These are limited to the video game industry and yes, it is cathartic.

Dave Gahan Asking God the Big Question

“Kingdom” by Dave Gahan

Can you feel me coming
open the door it’s only me
I have that desperate feeling
in trouble is where I’m going to be

I know you hear me knocking
so open the door and set me free

If there’s a kingdom beyond it all
is there a god who loves us all
do we believe in love at all
I’m still pretending, I’m not a fool

So in your infinite wisdom
show me how this life should be
all your love and glory
doesn’t mean that much to me

If there’s a kingdom beyond it all
is there a god who loves us all
do we believe in love at all
I’m still pretending, I’m not a fool

I’m a big fan of Depeche Mode’s music—truly innovators of an entire genre. The lifestyle of overpaid rock stars? Not so much.

The reason I post this video is because I believe that when people get honest with God, especially when they might not have before, they get an answer. Who knows how God might have answered Dave, but at this point, at least the discussion is on the table.

BTW, the video’s lighting concept is uber cool.

1. High-Tech Innovations Come to Retailing
   Love the UScan idea but I think certain people *cough* *technology-challenged* *cough* shouldn’t be allowed to clog up the line. ;^)
2. Baby Jesus Statue Gets GPS for Christmas
   I think electric shock might also work. *giggle*
3. I Want To Play Games In The Batcave
   Home Theater has many faces. This one is of the Dark Knight.
4. Casual Blogging Not Just Lunch Money Now
   Even though I’ve been blogging since 1996, I’ve never earned more than a couple hundred dollars a year. Then again, I don’t cover the big three: porn, gambling and super-low prices on Cialis.
5. Top of Ohio Building to Look Like Tiara
   I guess that’s better than his other work, the upside-down salad bowl.

Military Families Interact With Loved Ones Abroad

I love that while technology can certainly be perverted towards evil means, it can also do some incredible things. At this time of year, I can’t think of a better use for video conferencing. When some people complain about military spending, remember that items like these are also part of the package.

Jesus Is the Reason We Celebrate

I want to wish each of you the most special Christmas possible and an even better New Year!

1. Brian Knopp’s WoW 1-70 Alliance Guide
   The entrepreneurship gene is alive and well in the World of Warcraft. I wonder how much jack this guy has made?!? BTW, that’s all that sits up on this Google ads these days.
2. Green Tea May Cut Prostate Cancer Risk
   It better do something because I’m not drinking it for the taste!
3. Merry Christmas? No. Mary Christmas!
   ”It was meant to be,” Mary Christmas told the Daily Herald of Provo. ”God has a sense of humor. What are the chances that it would ever happen?” What are the odds they move to the North Pole and start making toys?
4. Colbert Chosen AP Celebrity of the Year
   Take that Al Gore! (Seriously though, could it be any more apparent that a person with zero personality [Gore] is being propped up by the collective media? The guy makes Frosted Mini Wheats seem like Tomatillo Salsa Verde.)
5. Coffee Drinkers’ 1,013 Good Deeds
   Awesome!

We’re talking 1cm or more to the left and this guy is coughing up blood. What a tool! If there’s one thing I know, Americans will applaud stupidity. Oh yeah. [via Deadspin]

1. Hard ‘Hobbit’ to Break: Jackson’s In
   On again, off again, now it’s back on! Bilbo lives!
2. Fans give Knicks coach giant pink slip
   Fans are tough on Isiah especially since most of the Knicks’ problems are the GM’s fault.
3. Please Make Me! I Am Legend: The Game
   Saw the movie (which is great BTW) and I similarly feel a videogame would be stellar with this theme.
4. Guitar Hero III gets sleighful of fresh tracks
   Unfortunately, none of them are very good. 8^(
5. BioShock kindly receives AP’s game of the year award
   Yeah, I thought so too. 8^)

Wii Sensors Allow for Head Tracking Experiment

Saw Beowulf in 3D not that long ago. This experiment reminds of the same effect. How long before all we gamers are wearing some kind of sensor glasses? [via kotaku]

Anti-Religion Crowd Whines About Cross

Before I had watched Huckabee’s commercial, I assumed that there was a real cross that was sitting on a shelf in in the bookcase behind him. Now I learn that what the loons are crying about is actually just the wood of bookshelf itself.

But there’s no problem when Madonna wears a big cross around her neck as she dances half-naked across the stage. Right.
