Season Two, Episode 21

Season Two, Episode 21
Yesterday I bought the <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=324>Simpsons Season 3 DVD.</a> I’ve been looking forward to this one because season three has my most favorite episodes. <img src=images/news/20030827.jpg align=left>In other DVD news, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Special Ripoff Edition was released yesterday. Just like with the first Lord of the Rings movie they plan on releasing 46 different versions where each release is more specialer than the one before. If you hold out on buying this movie, eventually a version will come out with a deleted scene where Gandolf and Anakin Skywalker have a lightsaber duel on the bridge of the Enterprise. It’s ultimately a lose/lose situation because the second you buy this version they’ll release the one with the zombie Tolkien audio commentary. You may not be able to win, but if you’re a fan at all you should at least wait until the next edition. Continue reading "Season Two, Episode 21"

I went to Bitsmack and all I got was this crappy tshirt

I went to Bitsmack and all I got was this crappy tshirt
Remember when I said I wasn’t going to tell you when there was a new comic? I <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=323>changed my mind.</a> I really am working on a design for a Bitsmack retro gaming tshirt. Once I get the design and prices finalized I’ll be accepting preorders. I’m not using Cafepress to order these shirts so they will be cheaper and higher quality. K-Dog, Lynex and I went to the DDR tournament on Saturday. I’m out of practice so I just played my Neo Geo Pocket Color. The mall did have a Beatmania 2nd Mix and that made the trip worthwhile for me. I’ll let K-Dog post his full report of the tourney. He also took some pictures that we should hopefully put up soon.

My Life, the Sitcom

My Life, the Sitcom
Do I need to tell you there is a <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=322>new comic</a> today? I’m tired of thinking up things to put in this area so you’ll just have to know there’s a new comic Mon, Wed and Fri. Anyway, today’s comic is ripped straight from my life. I was in McDonalds yesterday morning and there was a kid crying cause he wanted a toy. I know nothing about kids but he appeared to be between the ages of 3 and 15. What struck me as funny is not just that the kid cried out like a bad child actor in an 80s sitcom, it was that he wanted a happy meal when they weren’t even serving lunch yet. Granted he wasn’t that old, but he should have been old enough to realize you can’t get toys at breakfast. Of course if that was true he would also be too old to cry about wanting a toy. <a href=http://www.ryancollins.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=53&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0><img border=0 vspace=5 hspace=5 align=left src=images/news/20030822.jpg></a>Today’s comic is dedicated to Goz and his wife who are expecting their first offspring. We’ll be watching his/her career with great interest. Continue reading "My Life, the Sitcom"

Someday we’ll all play games <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=320>this way.</a> Movie Review: Freddy vs. Jason Let me just start out this review by saying THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR. I realize Matrix Reloaded came out this year but it did not give me the enjoyment that Freddy vs. Jason did. Here are the top reasons I enjoyed the movie so much.
  1. What happened to all the slasher movies? Honestly, I can think of a good slasher movie that’s been released in the last 5 years. FvJ stayed true to the original formula of startling moments and ultraviolence. Even though the movie is really violent, it doesn’t fall into the trap of becoming overly gross. I was more digusted by some of the scenes in Jackass than this movie. Watching this movie makes me want to go back and rent some of the old ones because they don’t make them like this anymore.
  1. It had a good storyline. Ok, slasher movies aren’t known for their thought-provoking plots but FvJ came up with a plausible way for Freddy and Jason to fight each other.
  1. They fight each other! Fans of these old horror movies have been waiting for these two to duke it out for over a decade. Freddy and Jason get into a knockdown, dragout, no holds barred, use all your fighting cliches, battle that is better than I could have ever imagined.
So there you have it. If you liked any Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th movie, you must see this movie. I’m not saying Freddy vs. Jason is the greatest movie ever. I’m saying that noone could make a movie called “Freddy vs. Jason” that was better than what I saw Friday night. 5 stars! Continue reading "Plug In"

Raiders of the Lost Crap

Raiders of the Lost Crap
Yeah it’s Friday. <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=319>Comic!</a> Anyone aLIVE out there? The xbox live service it the quickest, easiest, way to play multiplayer games online. That being said, why am I not using it? I think its because I’d rather play against my friends than profanity spewing strangers. It’s not like right now I go down the street knocking on random doors looking for someone to play Unreal Championship, why would I do the same thing online? So now I’m asking if any of you are on xbox live and would like to play a game. Now that K-Dog is living off campus I’m trying to talk him into signing up. Microsoft is adding new features like the ability to see what games your friends are playing through the web. Let me know what you guys think. Continue reading "Raiders of the Lost Crap"

Cliche is French for Cool

Cliche is French for Cool
Ah, the <a href=modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=316>last resort</a> for story ideas. Alt-Tab, boss key of the new millin millei decade. If you thought playing games at work was a new phenomenon you’d be wrong. Even back in the DOS days, those people lucky enough to have a computer at their desk would take time out for a game of Hugo, or Commander Keen. But what do you do when the boss walks by? Some of these games were smart enough to include the “Boss Key.” One hit of the boss key would display a DOS prompt or a Spreadsheet on your screen to make it look like you’re working. This is assuming your boss doesn’t look closely and/or has no idea what your job is. But RC this isn’t the 80s, how does this apply to me? Well I’ll tell you! If you don’t already know holding the Alt key and pressing the Tab key will allow you to scroll through your open programs. Suddenly, your game of Yahoo Checkers has been replaced with Microsoft Outlook. The people I work with send such a large quantity of email to each other they should not be surprised to find me reading it for hours on end. For added security, set your toolbar to auto hide. Keep in mind these methods will not work as well on full screen 3D games. When your boss catches you playing Battlefield 1942 its up to you to explain the affect of the Axis on your company’s accounting practices. Once you master these methods you’ll be killing time the Bitsmack way! Continue reading "Cliche is French for Cool"

I’ll "push back the release date" you!

I’ll "push back the release date" you!
Monday’s comic was delayed until <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=315>today.</a> The best shows you aren’t watching I’ve mentioned before how much I adore Cartoon Network’s adult swim lineup. Cowboy Bebop and Trigun got me hooked on anime. Well now they have some new cartoons. The Big O (Sunday 11pm) is often compared to Batman. The animation style is just like Batman the Animated Series. It’s like a big fighting robot cartoon with a slick 1940s look. Fooly Cooly (M-Th 12am) simply blew my mind. Words cannot describe this show. If I tried to tell you what it is about or why I like it, I would be degrading it by trying to give it definition. You must watch this show at least once. Blue Gender (M-Th 12:30am) hasn’t impressed me yet. A guy is frozen and wakes up to find the earth is infested with giant alien bugs. The humans that are left have (now brace yourself) giant robot suits. Granted they’ve only shown the first episode so I’m going to give it a chance. If anyone is watching these shows, let me know in the forum. I need someone to talk about Fooly Cooly with. Continue reading "I’ll "push back the release date" you!"
