LARPing AND God of War? Surely you jest.

I wish I were joking about it, but it’s true, as sad as it is. To promote Sony’s new game, God of War II, SCEA put together a little LARPing(Live Action Role Playing, think D&D minus the dice, plus the foam swords) event staring some of the stars of the God of Wars games, and just some that are fun. You get to pit 10 different characters against each other, ranging from mythological classics such as the Medusa, Colossus of Rhodes, and Zeus, to Sony originals such as Kratos, and Chubby Kratos.

The battles range from sad, to train crashes, to hilarious. Watch it, you might want to look away, but it’s like a Pringle. Once you pop, the fun don’t stop.

Quick! Cast +4 hilarity!

Completely Lost?

Does anyone else have the same love/hate relationship with the show Lost that I have? It seems that sometimes the show will be amazing, two weeks ago, and sometimes the show will suck, like last week. I love the show but it just seems that as it goes on it becomes more and more inconsistent as to when we will actually see an episode that adds to the story and is worth watching and when there will be an episode when nothing happens. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

Hitman The Movie – Now in Production

20th Century Fox appears to be the studio behind it. Check out the fulll press release in The Pipeline under the News section!

God I love video game based movies! It’ll be interesting to see how this one turns out. As long as it’s better than BloodRayne we have a winner!

Here’s an excerpt:
The game’s story centers around an international assassin known only as Agent 47 (Olyphant) who works for a mysterious organization dubbed the Agency. The Hitman videogames have sold in excess of 6 million units worldwide, with the most recent instalment, Hitman: Blood Money selling 1.4 million units worldwide and reaching No.1 in all key territories.

The movie is being directed by Xavier Gens from a screenplay by Skip Woods (Swordfish) and produced by Luc Besson, Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, Adrian Askarieh and Charles Gordon with Daniel Alter as a co-producer.

Singing rabbits and crying babies.

I was watching Rat Race on Comedy Central, good movie, not the point. During a break they showed a commercial about a guy trading a singing rabbit for some skittles. I’m wondering to myself “WHY?!” I’m a child of the 80s, a decade when not much was normal either way, but I do remember when I was growing up that we did, at one point, have normal commercials. Now we have commercials that don’t even have to do the product itself. Singing Rabbits, Crying plastic babies(PS3 commercial), and a Fu-Manchu type character saying something I cannot remember at this time. WHY?!

Show a funny situation with your product. Kick someone in the nuts then pour Doritos on him, not that difficult. Forgo the prosthetics, and the animatronics. Just give us something to laugh at. something that looks really good, or even a hot chick using the product. We don’t need these inane commercials that barely make sense. Hell, I’ve even avoided eating at Quiznos for years because of those damn Spongemonkies commercials they used to run.

We don’t need crying babies and singing rabbits.
