The Classical Music Comedy

Do you not like Classical Music? Most people would answer that with a yes. For Igudesman and Joo the answer is no. They’ve set out to make classical music fun again in their show A Little Nightmare Music. I have to say what they’ve done is fantastic! Everything from their music sketches to their website is hilarious. Hopefully one day they’ll come out to the United States and do a tour!

Bloggers Wanted

Attack Dog

StuffWeLike.com bloggers have a tendency to leave their position when the going gets tough and the tough gets going. So I’m writing to let you know that we’re looking for more bloggers. If you’re interested go ahead and email me at davidrodriguez[AT]stuffwelike[DOT]com. Notice that you’ve got to replace the [AT] and [DOT] with @ and . I know it’s a difficult task, but if you can’t even manage to do this, do I really want you to write for us?

Oh yeah if you’ve noticed that Brandon Undead hasn’t written a post for us in a while it’s because he was attacked by a dog. His lip was split in two, an inch above his chin. So now he really looks like the undead. Har har. Seriously though hope he gets better soon!

Blog Modifications

Wordpress Logo

You know if anyone told me that blogs were fun, I’d have to punch them in the nose. They’re tourchorous because you can do slight modifications so easily! That’s what I’ve been doing ever since we launched the blog in February!!! Every time I think there I’m done, it looks great, yeah right! It’s never done. It’s constantly evolving (hopefully for the better) and yet I receive few comments on them. So this time I beg you to save my insanity and write 1 comment saying yes David, now you can go die peacefully.

My 360 is COMING!

Oh the joy! An automated UPS phone call came through today saying someone has to be at the house to sign for the package tomorrow! Low and behold the package is coming from Texas aka the Xbox 360 repairment center! You can read all my previous posts on this annoying topic Shipping Xbox 360 and Fix My 360. It only took 11 days from the time when my Xbox 360 arrived at the repair center to the time it was shipped back to me. I’m amazed at how quickly Microsoft was able to fix the problem. Now the question is, is this a short-term fix or I’m I good to go for life? I mean my Genesis still works after 15 years of loyal service, why can’t my Xbox 360 work after less than 1 year!

Don’t bother saying oh the Genesis is simple technology – it wasn’t back in the day!

I wish that was mine

From the horrors of Dungeon Siege… Space Siege!

To be completely frank, Dungeon Siege wasn’t the best RPG I’ve ever played. And its story wasn’t the richest I’ve seen. But Gas Powered Games aren’t quitting and last month, they announced Space Siege – a sci-fi version of Dungeon Siege. A brand new trailer has also come up which you’ll find at the bottom.

The game boasts a “deep and compelling storyline”, which I’m highly skeptical about and “intense” action. The trailer definitely looks like it is in with the times and even bears a slight resemblance to Mass Effect, which is good. Maybe GPG can save itself after all. The only premise we know of right now is that a colonization ship is under siege by aliens who have annihilated Earth. At least the title “Space Siege” makes more sense than “Dungeon Siege”.

You will play as Seth, a robotics specialist who becomes hero of the day. The story will be fraught with moral dilemmas as you will have to decide whether you want Seth to pick up robotic upgrades and other such useful prosthetics at the sake of your ‘humanity’. The irony the writers wish to express here, is that you are trying to save the human race, but giving up your humanity. I like that.

These cybernetic modifications will actually play a large role in the story, as it may alienate (pun intended) Seth from the people he’s trying to save. NPCs will react differently and quests will differ as you get new modifications for every part of your body (if only Seth were female…).

This interesting new game will make its way to your PC next year, with no other details announced as of yet. Check out the official press release here, and the official site here. The official trailer can be found in The Pipeline (above).
