How Much Do You Have?



I have a lot of music on my computer. I'm just wondering who has over 10,000? Mine is above and growing. I just checked my music video collection and I have like 500+. I think I'm about to just give it up. I have so many songs that I'll never even get around to.

Song I was listening to while posting this: Linkin Park - My Dsmbr

*Mini Update!!* Here's a cool website where you can get 100% legal MP3s. I have a few of these in my collection. Remixed video game muzak.

Playing With My Wii

I'm debating if I should start my saving for the Nintendo Wii but I have a few obstacles to jump over. First, I was one of the morons waiting overnight for a Xbox 360. Waiting at all places, Toys 'R' Us. I mean, seriously, most people don't go to Toys 'R' Us anymore for video games because they're a rip 99% of the time. So I actually got a good place in line (the front) and after many hours in the cold, misty night with a few other guys. Luckily, we had a truck with a television and Xbox so we could watch Scrubs and play Halo 2. So, making a long, drawn out story short, I stood in line forever for the system and swore I'd never do it again. Mainly because I was too tired to play on it before work the next day. So, first off, I don't want to wait in line forever for a system again. Second, I'm in a bit of a bind. I bought those 12" subs for my car (with amp, wiring, all that jive turkey) and used my Best Buy card. Then I bought some more movies/games/misc. guy crap with my Capital One card around the same time. I make good money but I'm in a bind. Third, I don't want to spend $60 on Nintendo's games. I hate spending $50, so spending $60 is just pushing it.

Maybe I should quit wasting money on my 360. I buy way too many games for that game, only to be disappointed. I really love my 360 but I kind of want to get rid of it for the Wii. I never sell things (as you can tell by my massive game collection) so I really doubt I'll sell my 360. I just really want the Wii. So does my wife. I want to exercise while playing games!!

Actually, I'm not sure why I wrote this. I've decided to quit buying crap. Kind of a "fasting" for gaming, I guess. So, hopefully, you guys will be playing with your Wii with me. No pun intended.

**UPDATE** Apparently, I rawk at work. I'm gonna be making around $80 more than I thought so rock on. I'm gonna celebrate by saving it for my Wii.

Current Wii Funds: $80.

Top 10 Comedy Movies: 5 Through 1

This is the continuation of my list. I was actually thinking more about my previous list. I think I'm going to remove one of the movies and add a different movie on there, so check back on that one probably tonight. Anyway, here's my top five favorite movies:

5.
This movie was the bomb back in the day, back when Mr. Farley was still alive. I've seen this movie a bazillion times and it holds dear to me as a classic comedy. I work in sales so this movie hits right at home. One of my favorite parts is when David Spade knocks on Farley's hotel door and gives him the Mexican maid talk like "You need pillow?" and he responds "No, need sleepy...". I think it's such a great movie and I hope everyone's at least watched it once.

4.
I really didn't expect this movie to be any good. I was wrong. I love Ben Stiller with Owen Wilson. I think they're as good of a match as Laurel and Hardy, Farley and Spade. It's too bad they don't do many movies together. I was debating to do either this movie or Zoolander. Zoolander was pretty weird and funny, but this one had more story and stuff. Anything that mocks old crappy television is a good movie to me.

3.
I held this to be the best movie of that year (same year Napoleon came out, I just never saw it until a few months afterwards). There's some dry spots in it (around all the love spot) but I mean, come on. A movie about rival anchormen set in the 70's? One of my favorite lines is about Sex Panther:
"They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time."


2.
This movie, which almost everyone has seen, is terrific. It's not a movie you can just like. You either loved it or hated it. I think what makes me laugh the most is my cousin is exactly like him. A big far liar, a nerd, and thinks he's all that when he's not. The only thing my cousin doesn't have is mad drawing skills. But I'm sure when he's off of World of Warcraft and rolling his 94 sided DND dice, he's fantasising about animals that prefer in skills of magic.

1.
This is a dark comedy about a kid (Schwartzman) and a married man (Murray) who fall in love with a teacher (Williams). If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was written by Owen Wilson. I hold this to be my favorite comedy. It's not for everyone. I don't really know many people that have ever seen it, but it's really a depressing comedy. I'm not emo or anything like that, but whenever I show someone this movie, they always are like "Ouch. That sucks.". I'd recommend watching this movie if you enjoy dark comedies.

Top 10 Comedy Movies: 10 Through 6

These are not going to be in any particular order. I was watching a few movies the other day and decided to put a 'Top 10 List' of comedies, mainly because I love comedy so much. So, here's the first five:

10.
Beetlejuice is such a classic "dark" comedy. Tim Burton did a terrific job in bringing the dead to life... or something like that. One of my favorite parts is where the two married peeps (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) are checking in after realising they're dead, and the receptionist shows them her wrist and says something about her little "accident". It's twisted humor.

9.
Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party Time! Excellent! *air guitar noise*. I got such a kick out of this movie (as well as the 2nd). It's funny in that late 80's, early 90's fashion. This movie is probably why there's still bikers today, because face it, bikers are teh stupid.

8.
Man, oh man. The first time I saw this movie, it was on scrambled Pay-Per-View. Why? Because I doubt my parents would have let me watch that movie. Finally, I saw the USA version with my dad and we cracked up. I don't know what's better, the real version, or the USA version. I love how they censored cuss words on that movie like "What the funk you want?". I hated all the other Friday movies because Chris Tucker with Ice Cube is what made that movie.

7.
A lot of people don't agree with me on this movie, but I can't help but think this is one of the funniest Chris Farley movies ever. There's so many classic lines in this movie. Here's a great scene: Chris Farley tells a story of the savage animals out in the wild and after sitting there for a short period, a man stands up and screams 'There it is!!!' and everyone starts shooting at this cut down log in the forest. Finally Chris is like "Wait. Hold it." and looks over there a little closer, seeing it's only a little squirrel eating a nut. Everyone sits back down and the same guy that screamed before stands back up and points "He's got something in his hands!!" and everyone starts wasting ammo again.

6.
Someone reminded me of this movie actually by just saying Mel Brooks. Spaceballs is terrific. For a PG movie, it really pushed the limits. Actually, how is this PG? There's innuendo throughout, violence, middle fingers (lol, Barf), and even a F-bomb. Anyways, it's an awesome movie and I still hope for a part deux.

Celebrate, for our country is now older!

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days, before the split down the middle of America (Red vs. Blue, as so many like to call it). Back when I was growing up in the 80's/90's, and everything was still American. Fireworks roared to the heavens, burning in multicolored flames to let us know that our flag is still here. Now, the time of our country's future, we're broken up, waiting for the next civil war and praying for the best.

In previous years, Independence Day was something to really celebrate. My family would sit around in lawn chairs, watching the city shoot off it's fireworks. Us kids would have sparklers, running around like insane soccer moms, having the time of our lives. Then, after the show, we'd host our own show of fireworks spectacular. Starting with blackcats, the snakes, and anything that just made some noise or cool glowing flames, and ending up with sky lighters and stuff like that. Memories, eh? Afterwards, we'd go inside, play some Nintendo or some fun multi player PC game, and play that until it's either too late or we're too tired.

Today, I'm having to go into work to sell computers. Who in the US of A is going to buy a computer on July 4th? And instead of spending 4th of July with family, friends, or even just my wife, I have to talk to idiots about why a $300 computer will not play World of Warcraft. Have fun celebrating. I'm going to load up some Warcraft III and soak away in it for the few hours I have left.

2 New Reviewed: Retro-style

Ok, I'm finally coming out of my allergy nerd cold and reviewed two new games. I decided to go a little retro so I went with new look retro (Gaunlet from Live Arcade) and a back-to-the-roots game (Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness). I've been playing a lot of games lately and I figured it was time to give a few more of them reviews. Hope you guys enjoy and recommend my reviews. If not, bah humbug to you!

After many years of not being sick, I'm finally sick.

Well, looks like the powers that be have forced a terrible sickness on me. I have a soar throat. The annoying one. But I think I'm gonna get rid of it today. I'm going to lie in bed and sleep all day. If we didn't have the blasted fan turned on so high and then the AC set at such a oh-so comfortable 70 in a medium, one bedroom apartment, I'd never get sick but nooooo, all the police/fire trucks/ambulances in the world had to make noise at 2am so I decided to turn the fan on higher to block out the noise.

Well, since I'm going to be gone, enjoy this interesting ytmnd.

New Video(s): All Your Shoe Are Belong On Head

Okay, let me explain "Shoe On Head" first or you won't understand it. First, click here. Now, what they did was went to a website with webcam girls and asked them to put their shoe on their head. If you visit YTMND.com often, you already know that and this. Second, click here. This is a "lawyer" telling them to cut it out or else legal action will be placed. Third, click here. This is the monkey lawyer.

Now, for the actual video. Enjoy this parody of All Your Base Are Belong To Us.

Boycotting Gamestop is pretty hard...

I boycotted Gamestop a few months ago (I think it's been that long). Well, last night, I broke down because I really wanted Hitman: Blood Money for my 360. I traded in three games and got it. Two of which I reordered for $15. One was The Great Escape. I might have got a penny from that crap game. It was too hard and boring.

Anyways, I got it and it was so freakin' fun. But the reason I boycotted Gamestop is because they bug you to death with their magazines, reserves, and etc. Seriously, if I want to reserve a game, I wouldn't go to Gamestop unless I'm broke. So, that's why. I don't really care about making game companies money since they make enough. Two hour game, $60. Bah, I'm bored at work.
