Hello! It’s Sunday and it’s rainy here in New York so I am just sitting around watching some movies and will be playing more Deus Ex today. I still don’t think it’s great but it’s not horrible.
Anyway, it’s rapidly heading into the major game release season as we all know and there are several games(and movies too) that people are anticipating. September is just a few days away and the fall schedule is set and with so many awesome titles coming out I wanted to know what you already know for sure you want and have pre-ordered.
So let’s see what I have waiting for its release date in the coming months.
Not everyone liked Thor but I really did and this will actually be the first Blu Ray I own!
Star Wars Complete Saga of Episode I-VI with 9 discs and over 40 hours of bonus content. I had to get this! I haven’t watched Star Wars in a long time anyway. Probably not since Episode III was in theaters.
How could you NOT pre-order this game? It’s going to be freaking awesome!
I am fairly certain that Skyrim will be my personal game of the year regardless what any websites might pick as theirs. It’s bigger, better, faster, stronger than Oblivion and I expect to be playing it for months.
I’ve had this pre-ordered since 2010 and the night of the VGA’s on Spike TV when they officially revealed the teaser trailer. Without a doubt this is my most anticipated game and I can assure you that it will be my game of the Year for 2012.
So that’s what’s on tap for me but what about you guys? Let me know in the comments what kinda shit you already got pre-ordered to get you through this fall and winter of gaming.
I played some Dirt 3(360) yesterday and it’s pretty fun even though there’s no way in hell I am getting Platinum medals on the Gymkata(or whatever) Tutorial(I got gold n a few) and drift races make me want to rage quit. I also started watching Dexter Season 1 last night. I’m only 2 episodes in and it’s already one of the best shows I ever watched. Anyway let’s see what kind of cool shit we can find today.
The fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, called “Battle Lines,” premieres on Friday, September 16, at 8pm with a double episode featuring a pitched battle for Mon Calamari. There’s also a browser based MMO called Clone Wars Adventures, from LucasFilm and Sony Online that links the TV show and game together(mostly).
We got a situation! Abercrombie & Fitch has offered money to the cast of Mtv’s Jersey Shore(The Situation primarily) to stop wearing their clothes. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! hahahahahahahah! LMAO! hhahahahahaha!
Get ready for more wacky comedy madness with the premiere of IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA’s 7th season. The show starts up again Thursday September 15th on FX. Kitten Mittens FTW!
New movie poster for Twilight: Breaking Dawn. Really? It’s only Part 1? So after this stupid movie there’s still another stupid movie to come? WHAT IN THE FUCK PEOPLE!? Stop watching this shit!!!!!!! Especially you 30+ year old women with raging vagina madness for these emo retards and sparkly vampire gayness.
New trailer from EA’s revamp of the SSX snowboarding series which will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in January.
Bruce Willis will be back for Die Hard 5: Please Die Already. This time John McLane will reportedly be going to Russia and as we already know he is never going to actually die.
Filming for The Wolverine will be starting up in Vancouver come November. Darren Aranofsky(Black Swan) is no longer directing but James Mangold(3:10 to Yuma) is now singed on to take the helm. “There were a number of directors who wanted to do this because we have the best script yet, but his take was the strongest,” Jackman told MTV News speaking of Mangold during San Diego Comic-Con this summer. “He’s phenomenal, he’s going to really knock this one out of the park.” We’ll see Hugh Jackass. We’ll see.
New trailer for Resident Evil….er Underworld 4: Awakenings. It will be in 3D and in theaters January 20th, 2012. You’ll never hear me complaining about Kate Beckinsale in leather!
Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman are starring in a new movie called Trespass which will be directed by Joel Schumacher(Batman & Robin). I’m gonna watch it just to see how completely over the top ridiculous it is!
Red Hot Chili Peppers released a new video for their song The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie. Their new album, I’m With You comes out August 30th. In conjunction with the albums release the Chili Peppers will also be broadcasting a concert to local movie theaters that same night in which they will play the entire I’m With You album along with some select past hits. Check here to see what movie theaters have been announced so far.
Shula’s Steak Houses announced today it has deployed the first set of iPads featuring Hospitality Social’s new interactive menu and wine list application – Hospitality Pads. Hospitality Pads were launched at the 2011 National Restaurant Association show in Chicago a few months ago in May. Shula’s Steak House is the first national steak house chain to launch the iPad wine lists which revolutionizes the wine experience while dining. Shula’s decided on the national roll-out of Hospitality Pads after successfully testing it in its Naples, Florida location.
“This latest innovation reflects Shula’s commitment to providing the best possible dining experience to our guests,” said Dave Shula, president, Shula’s Steakhouses, LLLP. “It offers an elegant, engaging and easy way for our customers to choose the right wine reflecting their unique tastes that also complements their meal.”
Hospitality Social’s application caters to both the novice and the wine enthusiast. The application will guide customers through selecting a wine and it also recommends the best wine pairings with each entrée on the menu. It enables guests to make informed choices and select wines with confidence even when you don’t know shit about wine. Hospitality Pads feature tasting notes, pictures, and scores for wines on an iPad. You can select wines based on food pairings, flavor preferences, regions, scoring and other criteria. This is the first such application combining an interactive menu with wine list food pairings, social networking and a rewards network. It enables restaurant patrons to get in-depth wine information right at the dining table when they are about to make a wine choice and the Hospitality Social application will enable Shula customers to track wines they order by emailing them the name of the wine they enjoyed during their meal. This is cool shit and I am sure it will be making its way into more and more restaurants in the near future.
Up and coming rapper Yelawolf has announced that he will release his debut full length studio album, Radioactive, on October 25th, 2011. Take a listen to the first single called Hard White (Up In The Club) featuring Lil Jon. Yelawolf just completed a successful run of dates on The Vans Warped Tour as well as a string of European shows with the Wu Tang Clan. Kind of an Eminem clone, no?
Naughty Dog Community Manager Arne Meyer says that Uncharted 3 is currently too big for a 50GB PS3 Blu Ray disc. “Uncharted 2 barely made it to 25GB, while Naughty Dog is going over 50GB this time, for Uncharted 3. But in the end we’ll be under 50. We’ll be one disc.” What this means of course is that there will now be compressed audio and video to make it fit on one disc as well as the obvious content being held back for DLC purposes.
Ridley Scott who directed the now timeless classic Alien in 1979 and has recently gone back to that world again with the upcoming 3D Fox film Prometheus(in theaters June 8th, 2012 has committed to direct and produce a sequel/prequel/reboot/something of his other groundbreaking sci-fi film from 1982, Blade Runner. This is the only news available on the project at the moment. There is no script, no actors, no nothing. It’s just been confirmed that he has signed up to make this movie in the future.
Advice Dog’s advice for 8/18:
That’s it for today guys and gals! Yes I am well aware that the PS3 will now offer NFL Sunday Ticket or whatever it’s called. It’s very cool and a great option and all but really at a price of $340 it’s unreasonable for me and probably a lot of other gamers. We bitch about $5 DLC for Christs sake. The pricing is actually one of the reasons I never got satellite TV to begin with. The only thing on there I would want is the NFL package and it was too expensive just justify switching from Time Warner. I also didn’t include the Borderlands 2 teaser trailer because there’s no gameplay and really it was quite boring to watch. I got to go make me a smoothie, work out while watching Dexter and get ready for Beer on the Balcony. See ya tomorrow!
8/18 Boner Bonus! More on set pictures from The Avengers
So below we can see some dude holding some sort of gun that is obviously not of this Earth and then we see Captain America(Chris Evnas) fighting a couple of guys in motion capture suits. Nothing is confirmed as far as villains except Loki really but, hmmmm. Could this be Skrulls?
Welcome to Cool Shit You need To Know About. A (mostly)daily entry where I write briefly about shit I think is cool. Enjoy! Or don’t.
Shannon Justison is a CG Artist and someone found an interesting little tidbit on her Linkedin profile. She listed “Resident Evil 6 Cinematics” as being a project that she has worked on starting back in 2009 and production is still underway. She just so happens to work for a film company named Third Floor who coincidentally produced cut scenes for Capcom’s Resident Evil 5. GamesCom is just a few days away so maybe we’ll hear something more then.
DC is going gay! Amidst this ridiculous relaunch of 52 titles from the DC Universe is coming Jewish lesbian ass kicker Kate Kane, AKA Batwoman. A new Batwoman series was supposed to start in April but they held off to include it with the new 52 coming in September(August 31st). Other queers you’ll see are Apollo and Midnighter, a gay couple from the Wildstorm Universe who will be redone and introduced to the DC universe. Lastly you’ll be seeing Voodoo who is also from the Wildstorm Universe being rewritten as a bisexual and introduced into the DC Universe. Lot’s of gay stuff going on over at DC, like a Green Lantern movie sequel with that homo Ryan Reynolds but the good news in all of this is that at least with Voodoo I still have a shot because she is only half gay!

Here’s a picture of the Star Wars coins I talked about last week. On the opposite side of the various Star Wars pictures will be the image of Queen Elizabeth II which should just devalue the currency entirely.
The English-language dub of the upcoming 3D animated feature “Ronal The Barbarian” from Denmark’s Einstein Films will include Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider. It will be released <strong></strong>in Scandinavia on September 29th and then make it’s international debuts starting in December. The movie is about a barbarian with low self-esteem who has to save his tribe from an evil lord.
Wack job Charlie Sheen who thinks he is Winning at life and full of Tiger Blood just got booed off stage at an Insane Clown Posse concert at Cave-in-Rock Illinois. The former Two and a Half men star came on stage to introduce rapper Tech N9ne and was booed, insulted and had to dodge bottles and cans being thrown at him. I think it’s safe to say that when a crowd of drugged out degenerate jobless retarded ICP fans boo you off stage that you probably aren’t winning Charlie.
Sexy, sultry socialite Kim Kardashian whose father Robert Kardashian was a lawyer on the inFamous O.J. Simpson murder case and who died later on of esophageal cancer is getting married this week to Kris Humphires. I just thought I’d like take a moment to give the couple a special message before they embark on this blissful journey of togetherness as one.

I wrote about this game briefly last month, SNG-IGN(or whatever) wrote a blog about it and now we have a bitchin’ ass motherfuckin trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw. Dig it!
Milla Jovovich stars in a new thriller, Faces in the Crowd, set to hit theaters in October where she plays an elementary school teacher who witnesses a serial killers most recent attack. She survives the incident but receives an injury that leaves her unable to recognize faces, even those of her family and friends. I assure you that after viewing this trailer there really is no point in going to see this movie as they pretty much just reveal everything except how she received this form of amnesia.

Ex-Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher had this to say about the riots in London. “I can’t understand where their energy for these riots is coming from. We live in this age of violence – and I don’t care what other people say: Brutal TV and brutal video games are a reason for this pointless violence as well”. No word yet on how many people Gallagher has personally sent down a path of destruction from smoking, drinking and snorting cocaine due to “you might as well do the white line” in his song “Cigarettes and Alcohol”.
Amy Childs, the beautician, who quit The Only Way Is Essex before her expected stint on Celebrity Big Brother, has shrunk from a size ten to a size eight and the 21-year-old, who now weights 8 stone, complained that this also means her boobs have gone down in size.
The red headed star said: “I want them done again, actually. It’s been five years now and I think the implant has shrunk a bit. Even if I just keep them at a D-cup and get them uplifted.”
Just one question for Amy: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Lastly, I present you with 3 songs from the Dead Island video game soundtrack. The game is due out in just 3 weeks. Enjoy!
Star Wars Complete Saga of Episode I-VI with 9 discs and over 40 hours of bonus content. I had to get this! I haven’t watched Star Wars in a long time anyway. Probably not since Episode III was in theaters.
