So I just saw the Dark Knight, and without going into too much detail (as I'm sure there are a flood of reviews), this movie really screwed with my head. Easily the best comic book adaption ever made, and the best film I've seen in years.

Seriously I'm still shaking.

I'll just say two things.

1. Heath Ledger's death has truly become a tragedy for film, he was destined to be among some of the most acclaimed actors in history, and this is coming from a guy who dislikes almost every other film he was in.

2. I have no idea how Christopher Nolan will be able to make a sequel. There is simply no way that he could top this movie, and frankly do other villian will do after Ledger's performance, after watching this movie I feel that a Joker re-cast is impossible.

Anyways, it was nice stopping by, I might post here and there once in awhile but frankly OT in the summer is...lacking.

Between the summer posters, the election/religion/girl advice threads, and the fact that I'm in an intense program to expand my Arabic which takes up my day from about 7:00-8:00, I haven't had the urge to hang around OT lately, so I think I'll come back when I feel this place freshens up.

Also I've been seeing this girl recently and she wants to do this new thing called "spending time together", so that will probably take up some time too.

Maybe I'll come back after I see the Dark Knight to release some of my giddiness.

You should see Kung Fu Panda, like right now. Probably the best family friendly comedy I've seen since Shrek. Action and comedy mixed Jack Black...sweet.

In other late news, two 10s in two months, and yet Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 couldn't get to 9.8. Consistency people!

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

I probably should've seen this coming after the atrocious MK: Armageddon. Sure you've got all the characters...but half of them were dead, and the game never bothered to explain why. In fact, Armageddon didn't address ANY of the cliffhangers from MK: Deception, effectively stomping out what were actually some pretty good stories for old and new characters alike.

Now Ed Boon farts out what will probably be a far cruddier version of Marvel vs Capcom.

No blood.

No Fatalities.

Not even a freakin plot.

Goodbye Mortal Kombat, you had a good run.

Happy St. Patricks Day! 8)

And props to Suds O'Hananans for opening up at 6 this morning.

First we have Jeff go, and suddenly people are boycotting Eidos based off of a rumor, and now people are going crazy over JPL getting banned.

Seriously?

I know a lot of these folks liked JPL (I didn't care for him but thats beside the point). But he was acting rather strange. Just, please wait until you know exactly what he was banned for before jumping to conclusions ok?

Fantastic.

...a bunch of fanboys whining because the game that won GOTY was one they didn't play. How odd.

Happy New Year Gamespot. :)

To whoever it still concerns I'm not dead, just busy. That and OT has been in a major slump which doesn't look like it will improve anytime soon. Actually in general Gamespot seems to be in a slump, all the great reviewers and shows hosts are disapearing.

I will still be around from time to time, so yeah, see you folks around.

A friend of mines birthday is coming next week and I need a gift that is a hybrid of goofy and awesome, she isn't easy to offend so don't be afraid to suggest semi-ridiculous ideas.

I would post this in OT but I'm positive the word **** would come up 3-4 times a page.

In other news, I'm still trying to play 5 games at once, the majority of which were made before the year 2000.I forgot how freaking hard those games are. The reason for this is beyond me, somehow my workload has just been in decline, maybe my professors are sick of grading mountains of essays.
