Well here it's the weekend and I'm listening to Metal and blogging. Seems I am playing catch up all week, nothing new.
Well, let's get this show on the road...
Holy shit! I can't believe someone re-released this on DVD
I saw this on VHS way back in the day when I lived in Modesto. It's pretty damn twisted. I am totally amazed that it's coming back out on DVD. Now a whole new generation of adventurous film-goers will get to experience this "piece" of German Horror cinema. Not for the weak-stomached, and coming from me is saying something since I've been watching horror films for over 20+ years. Watch at your risk. I was going to put the trailer up here but after watching it, I decided against it. Yes, it's that brutal.
There are not to many Xbox Games, XBLA, or Indie Games coming out this week that I'm dying to play. I am looking forward to next week's Rock Band releases. Maybe next week will be more promising...
On a totally different tangent I picked up a amp for my guitar finally. Super awesome deal on Amazon. Think I'll play a bit today and then maybe some Rock Band later just for fun. Hopefully this weekend will be mellow and staying close to home. Also, those dishes aren't going to do themselves, and neither is that table going to clean itself off. What happened to the kitchens of the future that cleaned themselves? Or personal robots for that matter? It's 2012 for Science's sake!
Just to warn you this will be a rather long post, so brace your feet to the sled, kiddos, and let's take this treacherous road downhill into the ground. Flames and all.
So I've missed some posts but life happens and we keep on a-going. I'm going to start with Red Dead: Redemption. I haven't played the game since something like August of 2010, but in my defense I couldn't play multiplayer. The game would kick me out seconds after I joined so I just stopped and I would have re-sold it if I ever went to a video game store with any frequency nowadays. But I've just kept it and now I'm glad I did. I fired it up and took a stab and tried to get back online and lo and behold it worked! Totally excited that I'm able to play this game again online. It's super fun, there is free DLC, ambient challenges, some co-op matches, jeez, the list goes on and on. Here's the Red Dead: Redemption homepage from Rockstar, you know, that little known company that put out Grand Theft Auto. Yes, that one. They've done it again with a slap of cowboy over an open world sandbox. If you want to know more, check the website:
But I've been having a blast with it to say the least. Fun, fun times.
Rewind time to December 25, 2000. At 10PM at night I was sitting with a group of good friends about to watch a really bad movie. This little gem was Dracula 2000. Let's just say, well, it wasn't great. Wait, no, I can say more than that, it was hideous. The best part (for me) was Danny Masterson (as Nightshade, hehe) gets a leech attached to his eyeball in the first 20 to 30 minutes of the film and then I was like okay that was my highlight for it. Though, honestly it was a awful film... so, here's the trailer!
Now fast forward to the last couple of weeks. I've been checking to see what is coming out for games and nothing has really caputred my eye and time. So I haven't posted anything in the last few weeks, though now during the Summer of Arcade there are a few XBLA titles that I'd love to get my hands on.
This game looks super sweet. I haven't played the first one but it takes place in Arizona so I am interested on how they are going to make the desert creepier than I can imagine it as, as in my youth I ran all over the desert. The price is a bit steep but that is way the arcade games are going.
This arcade game looks really interesting. It has climbing platform elements that I can get into. Not sure what combat is like but I'd love to give it a try at some point with time, money, and hard drive space allowing.
Not to many AAA titled games coming out that I'm looking at, in between my new love affair with Red Dead: Redemption, the unending catalog of Rock Band tracks coming out in the foreseeable future, and Halo: Reach I don't think I have time to play any new retail games right now.
Speaking of Rock Band tracks... This Week in Rock Band!
I was relieved to finally see some music coming out that I didn't really want. I know that sounds weird to say but lately everything they've put out has been great since late December last year. If you're curious to know what came out yesterday please continue reading.

Cripes! What is left, right... now, starring... DVD Tuesdays!
Loved this movie when I saw it. Those two make a great team and they were also the reason why I loved the original so much.
Well I see that it an unrated Director's cut so I'm already in. Interesting cover and choice title. I'll probably rent this through Netflix at some point.
Well, folks, that is it for this little, big, post. Hope you've enjoyed it as much as I had writing it. See you in a few!
Not too much coming out this week. I am excited for the next season of Weeds on Netflix, though I'm tired of Nancy banging her way through the entire cast. If I wanted to watch that I would watch Californication (which I love). Well let's see if there is any games worth their salt coming out this week...
So I've been wanting to see The Rum Diaries for quite a while now. It's technically (I think) the follow-up/prequel to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Good stuff. The Human Centipede was especially hideous so I want to see this one to see how much further they could go with this. I guess I have to wait and see...
So I'm a bit late on all my blogs this week. It's been a pretty busy week and the next four days will be no exception so these will be fairly short and sweet, but you all probably have something better to do then read my blog...
Let's see what (if anything) is coming out that I have my little ol' tired eyeballs set upon:
Well not much this week. Though I really want to see this flick, it'll probably get bumped up to the top spot on the Netflix queue. Coming up in a few my belated Video Game Tuesday blog...
And apparently for me, this was the major winner of the week.
Anyone who knows me knows that I dig wrestling. I used to watch it when I was a kid and I played the old NES wrestling games. I then sporadically watched wrestling in the mid-nineties when I caught it on the tube. Then I didn't watch again until my friend, Loyd, asked if I wanted to come over and play this old N64 game, it was called No Mercy, and I haven't looked back.
Granted I only really catch Friday Night Smackdown on the Hulu platform as well as the occasional Raw excerpts that they have on there. I don't really watch NXT or Superstars all the much. But I've learned to love wrestling all over again. Anytime Netflix instant has new shows I am usually watching them all in one day much to my wife's chagrin. I still have to finish the Shawn Michaels: Heartbreak & Triumph DVD, but I've pretty much seen everything that Netflix Instant has to offer for free already.
When did DVD Tuesdays turned into a blog about wrestling? Weird.
See you all in a bit with my Video Games Tuesdays post.
Looks like Universal is the big winner for me this week. Three classics from when I was a kid. Teen drama, raunchy late night comedy and good old natured comedy that takes places in Modesto. Classic.
Not a banner DVD day, but if I had the cash it might just break the bank right after the holidays! Good stuff though, I love me some Archer and now that the 2nd Season is out it might be put on Netflix streaming sooner or later, hell, same with the wrasslin' DVD. Yummy.
Here I go again on my own... down this lonely road I'll never know... oh sorry, just singing some bad butt-rock. On with DVD Tuesday!
Once again, I pull my data from the awesome website The Digital Bits, let's see what we have for this Tuesday before X-Mas.
Not a lot this week, but definitely some strong content to be sure. I loved Futurama since the first time I saw the show, great characters and witty dialogue. Funny, too. Elfen Lied isn't funny, but it's beautiful and bloody all at the same time.
Here once again is DVD Tuesdays. Let's see what's in the pipeline this week:
Well it is great if you are a wrasslin' fan, which I am so these discs are pretty sweet. Come back in a few for Video Game Tuesday and the awesome Rock Band Tuesday as well. See you in a bit...
Wow. The only DVD coming out this week that I would want to see. I am sure I've seen all the episodes that are on these discs since I remember watching the Looney Tunes on t.v. growing up.
Well not much. Captain America is coming this week in the mail so I will throw a review up here later in the week. Funny enough, I didn't see any superhero films this year in the theaters which is totally unlike me. I've been hitting comic films in years previously like ginger on beer. So I am just getting back to my roots of comic and movies are like church and state. Grumble.
I still need Season 2 of Robot Chicken and I'm pretty sure I still need to view Season 4, man, I'm slacked in my duties.
There are actually a few films I want to see that are coming out on DVD this week.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Hellraiser: Revelations
In a Glass Cage
Two horror films and one fantasy. Not too shabby I must say. I don't think that Hellraiser will be that great since Doug Bradley isn't attached to the picture. In a Glass Cage I've heard is really intense and not to be viewed by people with a delicate constitution. Pirates I am sure will be fun as all the others one have been.
Agree? Something else coming out tomorrow that strikes your fancy? Sound off!
