I WANT TO BELIEVE?


source: Gawker

A 'dead monster' washes ashore in Montauk.  Some may speculate with the simple "FAKE!" and such, but that isn’t getting to the heart of the matter.  The following are possible scenarios that resulted in this abandoned ‘monster’:

Scenario A: Splinter got frisky with Michelangelo (he's the 'special' one), their mutant vegetables leaked onto the couch, April O’Neil came to visit and sat on it.

Scenario B: They're ninjas – they had a gangbang with her and were in and out of there without a trace... except for the + sign on the pregnancy test.

However, with some research the truth is revealed:

This also explains the arm-band, and why it’s flipping off the camera.

The Dark Knight has changed things. The term ‘comic book’ seems inaccurate; hence the more commonly used term: ‘graphic novel’.  Semantics are beside the point; for this film has elevated beyond the cartoony-emo care-free family fun of a standard ‘superhero’ or ‘comic book’ movie and shit all over it.  This is a large scale urban drama – a character study; a boiling pot of ideals and concepts; heated to a crescendo: the utmost clusterfuck, in which catharsis and a ‘truth’ returns to entertainment.  But it’s not all serious. There are times where it’ll put a smile on your face; grinning from ear to ear; for The Joker has a few gags that are quite a doozy (sardonically speaking).

FINALLY

"While we are not going to go into the specifics of the meetings, we're constantly looking at how best to EXPLOIT the DC Comics characters and properties. DC is an incredibly valuable asset to Warner Bros. and plays an important role across the entire studio by providing development and franchise opportunities for all media, including films, television, home entertainment, animation, consumer products, video games and digital platforms." – Source: Comingsoon.net

Finally the idiots at WB wise up and might let DC do their own thing rather than get tied up in WB piece of shit management and development hell.

Side note: wow honesty from WB (or retarded PR?), finally admitted that they're exploiting. Now i'm just waiting for lucas to admit and say 'How best to MILK Star Wars'

LEAKED TRAILERS ARE NOT MORE FUN THAN TELEVISION

 

Max Panye: The Movie trailer leaked – typically a shit resolution one for everyone on the wise and rational internets to judge quality of the film.

From what little fidelity that’s available; there are some potentially stunning visuals and money shots. I’m sold on the flesh of fallen angels.

MGS4 shares many of the same issues as MGS2; it’s launched on a new platform and has to be accessible to a new audience as well as cater to the fan base.  Unfortunately Kojima fell back into the MGS2 frame; where the old (legitimate) complaints are still evident – coming off more like a semi-interactive movie than a game.  Why it turned out this way… when MGS3 remedied that issue with an excellent balance.

CRYSIS WARHEAD

 

Crysis: Warhead; return as Psycho in open terrain where you have true freedom as a super soldier (not a super human), in what appears to be a more action oriented outing; with more vehicles which Sandbox2 players may have already tried.

The gameplay style exhibited is how we should/can [and do] play anyway; which raises potential concern: hopefully Crytek will stick to their original expectation that gamers playing Crysis are actually intelligent – not crying like a bunch of whiny cunts that populate the internets sobbing like pussies that cloak doesn’t last long enough.  Fuck catering to these types running hiding, recharging, running some more and repeat then moan that they keep dying.  This is how an action oriented Deus Ex sequel should be – free of the watered down form of a console shooter.

With any luck we’ll be able to Hulk it out allowing Psycho to pick up and throw cars, particularly as the objectives seem more action oriented objectives: blow the shit out of everything (which can actually be done in the original – for you whiny stupid fucking maggots who complained about the gameplay).

Provided there are new levels, environments, cutscens and some insight into the adventures of Prophet Doakes all seems set up for good.
