Hey guys, we're still sponsoring that kid with WorldVision. Seeing as I need to raise about $1k for short term mission trip this summer, I'm not sure if I can handle sponsoring as well, which is another $400 on top of that. Can one of you guys take over for a few months, or what do you want to do?

Dragonball: EvoPOOtion

I so wanted to like this movie, but now I'm even afraid to see it.

Entering "Refiner's Fire" into google will give you a pretty interesting first result. Of course, I had to scroll down and check the comments, and sure enough, there it was.

Purely Grammatical

If a person who antagonizes is called the 'antagonist', then what is a 'protagonist'? Someone who protagonizes? I don't think 'protagonize' is even a word.

"Don't worry, I'll protagonize you!"

On another note: with the whole coalition thing in the news, I've been pretty amused to see "GG" popping up everywhere as an acronym for "Governor General".

New Layout

I should probably be studying for exams, but I thought I'd change things up a bit here and change the layout. I hope you guys like it. When I have more time on my hands, I'll work the html, but that all depends on how often you guys check :p.

In the meantime, good luck to everybody with school!

Rock Revolution!!!

With the game coming out in a few days (Oct 14), I just thought I'd post a link for Konami's answer to Rock Band. Last time we saw that ridiculous drum set... and it now you can see it in action.

As I came across this video, I initially thought it was a joke, but it's real. It's Rock Band with worse graphics, a terrible interface, and songs list that boasts titles such as Sk8r Boi. In addition to that, the game only comes with drums - you just have to use your Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar to play guitar parts - and no microphone. This was presented at some games conference and it's just so hard for me to believe it's legit. The guy who demos it isn't that great at the game and at one point in the video he starts twirling his drumsticks as if he's owning it and then he starts acting all modest. You just have to watch it.

Oh yeah and get this. If you're a Wii owner, you can join in on the action too!

"On the Wii, instead of the specialized controllers players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for "an air-drum and air-guitar experience" similar to Ultimate Band.^[1] The game will be simplified for the Wii control scheme, and Wii guitar and drum controllers will not be compatible."


Man. Imagine being a kid and asking your parents for Rock Band for Christmas, and instead they get you Rock Revolution. I'm pretty sure that's how this game will make a majority of its sales.

Pretty Much Sums It Up
