So here's a story that's definitely worth me breaking my 2 months of silence on this blog.
The folks over at Pure Pwnage have gone through a lot of tough times lately, after losing cast member Troy Dixon in a car accident and director Geoff LaPaire's decision to leave the show, things start to be looking up for the ROLFMAO crew.
As the above video states, the guys will be launching a new television series on Showcase in 2010.
According to the description from Showcase's Sideshow blog, the plot will center around Jeremy searching for a job in order to keep living in his mom's basement. His escapades include starting a rock band, becoming a video game tutor, and trying to socialize with his co-workers at the grocery store.
Unfortunatley, Showcase is a Canadian TV station, so I'm not sure if us Americans will be able to see the show on our televisions. However, after scanning through some of Jarrett Cale's (Jeremy's) tweets, it looks like the show will be broadcast online.
Can't wait for 2010! Continue Reading»

EWWWW Look at how horrible this game is. I was surprised when I saw the game wasn't coming out for Ps2 but rather Xbox 360 and Ps3, I mean the graphics are garbage and the gameplay looks like a terrible spin-off of Madworld or something... They should have just made a nice Deathklok Guitar Hero instead of this piece of dog shit. Continue Reading»

Honestly WTF were they thinking in the 90's when they made this game...It is complete garbage but thankfully AVGN makes it into comedic gold. Continue Reading»

While the game was a disappointment, this video is anything but. This guy jumps pools, does flips, skateboards, and wall runs all while holding the camera with one hand. Besides the lack of terrible combat and infuriating enemies, you'd think you were really in the game. Continue Reading»

Most people that know me know I've got a man crush on Ryan Reynolds. I'm not afraid to admit it, he's the fucking man. And although I am obviously a Marvel fan boy, Green Lantern was one of the few DC characters I enjoyed. For those of you that don't know, the Green Lanterns are a galaxy wide peace keeping force that use their rings which are powered by their willpower and courage to battle evil. So one would expect that you put these two together and it would be a match made in heaven right? Wrong.
Hit the jump for why this is a huge mistake.
There are so many reasons why I thought this was terrible news but lets start at the beginning. First is the fact that this will probably stall if not destroy the chances of a Deadpool movie from being made. DC and Marvel probably don't want one of their major franchise's actors making movies for their competitor so this might kill the Deadpool movie in its tracks. At the same time I don't think a person who talked about getting the movie made so adamantly would drop it so easily so this one is still up in the air.
The biggest problem with all of this though is that honestly, as much as I like Reynolds, he just doesn't feel like Green Lantern to me. I don't imagine him as being a wise ass pretty boy. I see him as a stoic and powerful, square jawed warrior with a deep and commanding voice. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way but hey maybe they can surprise me. Honestly though, they should just hire Nathan Fillion and do a longer version of this fan made trailer.

The gloves are off in the war between Dana White, the president of the UFC, and EA Sports over their new MMA game, ingeniously titled, MMA. White's anger doesn't stem from the new competition but instead of his past experiences pitching a new UFC game to them. Hit the jump for the details.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, White stated that "They wouldn't even take a meeting because mixed martial arts disgusted them. This wasn't a real sport. Boy, they got over that real quick, didn't they?" He also went on to threaten any other fighter that signed on to be part of the game saying "You won't be in the UFC." MMA has already claimed its first superstar in Randy "The Natural" Couture although Couture had resigned from the UFC before signing on to the game and then rejoining the UFC.
While most people would see this as an empty threat, White has always been an extremely honest businessman who isn't known to take shit from anyone. Honestly, I really like that White is taking a stand like this against a company who completely disrespected his way of life until it was time to make a quick buck. I really don't see any fighters risking their careers to appear in another mma game especially when the UFC has become the mma company to fight in. That being said unless EA can pull something out of their ass, MMA will fail miserably since this is going to be a game based on realism with very similar fighters and styles where every fighter can't have some kind of super dragon kick to differentiate them from the others.

A deleted scene from the upcoming Director's Cut of the Watchmen dvd has been released and I can sum it up in one word: amazing. While in most dvd's the deleted scenes are a few lines of needless dialogue, the above clip is simply amazing and in my opinion even manages to outdo the original scene from the book. I wasn't even sure what to feel while watching it. On the one hand it was terrible to see such a good man die the way he did but on the other at least he went out swinging which is what he probably always wanted to do in the first place. Snyder captures everything gorgeously as the gang members turn into Mason's old time enemies and back again as the music blares triumphantly before stopping suddenly when the hero meets his end. The DVD will be dropping on July 21st and although I plan on holding out for the deluxe edition coming in the winter, this scene will make the wait even that much more excruciating. Continue Reading»

A new photo from the upcoming Iron Man 2 was released today and it is sure to please nerds and non nerds alike. Scarlet Johanson, who will be playing the role of Natasha Romanoff AKA The Black Widow, is rocking the black leather and auburn locks in the first picture of her soon to be ongoing role in the Marvel Universe. As hot as Johanson is, I wasn't sure how she would look as a red head but boy was I wrong. Add one more to the list of why I'll be in the first showing come May. Continue Reading»

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling revealed the contents of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "Hardened" and "Prestige" editions of the game last night. The top tier version comes with working night vision goggles and, as expected, a first class price.
To get the super ultra deluxe limited version, which includes an art book, limited Steelbook case and a token to download the original Call of Duty, plus the aforementioned goggles, expect to pay $149 USD. That's the suggested retail price of the "Prestige" edition, almost twice that of the $79 "Hardened" edition.
Infinity Ward also confirmed via its Twitter account that the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network versions of the original Call of Duty will have multiplayer support.
With Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero, Tony Hawk's Ride and now Modern Warfare 2 all sporting $100-plus pricing options, we're guessing that Activision will have some serious, if heavily padded, fourth quarter revenue to boast about come 2010. How well all these giant boxes will sit with retail, however, is another matter.
