My trip to Los Angeles!

by -RoG- on 02/09/2006, 1:11 pm

Late last week, I went on a trip to Los Angeles for a long weekend to see what it was like. I was really surprised by what I found. But rather than tell you about it here in the I-Mockery blog with only a few photos, I've put together a large 3-page photo gallery of my entire trip. Take a look and lemme know whatcha think!

Also, on a sidenote, I've started writing for CRACKED magazine, which is really cool since I grew up reading it along with MAD. Don't worry, I'm not stopping I-Mockery, I'm just doing material for CRACKED on the side just like I did for National Lampoon. So you can expect to see some of my work on their site every now 'n then. My first piece for them is now up and you can check it out HERE.

One of my favorite photos…

by -RoG- on 02/02/2006, 11:06 am

Now I'm no professional photographer by any stretch, but every now and then I'll take a photo that I think is pretty damned cool. I was looking through some old photos this morning when I stumbled upon this one again:

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! HULK! NEED! BODY! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

I don't know why, but I simply love this photograph. Aside from how well it came out, there's something utterly hilarious about how distressed the Hulk looks about having lost his body.

The Chicken Dance (for “Arrested Development” fans)

by -RoG- on 01/28/2006, 2:01 am

So at a recent party, we talked our friends Jason (Protoclown) and Macon into doing the chicken dance (one of the few dances that rivals the coveted "Carlton Dance"). Now for those of you not in the know, the chicken dance I'm speaking of comes from the show "Arrested Development" (you know, one of the many good shows the Fox network has been insane enough to want to cancel over the years). Anyway, the character "Gob" performs this dance any time he wants to mock somebody for being afraid of something. Gob is also a magician who always comes out on stage to the sounds of "The Final Countdown" by the band Europe. Quite the spectacle I assure you. Well, someone at the party happened to get some video footage (thanks Scott) of the two of them doing this chicken dance and I decided to combine it with that song. And now, I pass this footage onto you.

The Chicken Dance!

Keep in mind the video is from a digital photo camera, so there wasn't much footage to work with at all. Also keep in mind that I've never edited video footage in my life, but I just picked up some great software (Sony Vegas) and am starting to learn it bit by bit. And when I say "learn it" I mean "fiddle around with all the commands until something works or something breaks, but whatever you do, do not read the instructions!" Hope you enjoy the looped footage with excessive use of cheezy filters! Hollywood, here I come!

And on an unrelated note, the new Extreme Beverage Testers vs. The 2006 Jones Soda Valentine Pack article is now up, so be sure to check it out!

Jones Soda Valentine’s Day Packs!

by -RoG- on 01/24/2006, 3:14 pm

I guess this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, but I can't help but be excited. Jones Soda has just announced their new 2006 Valentine's Day packs! It's not as big as their holiday packs with 5+ flavors, but it's still got some very interesting stuff in it, including Love Potion #9 flavored soda. If nothing else, I'm sure it'll help wash down the flavor of those nasty Valentine's Day Kit Kats.

Jones Soda Valentine's Day packs!

So what do you guys 'n girls think? Would you rather give/receive this new Jones Soda pack or a box of chocolates & flowers? Or, if none of the above, what else would you rather give/receive for V-Day?

And yes, you can expect an in-depth review of the Jones Soda Valentine Pack from
I-Mockery's infamous "Extreme Beverage Testers" in the very near future. In the meantime, however, check out our big Jones Soda features of the past:

What the hell did they do to my Kit Kats!?

by -RoG- on 01/18/2006, 1:05 am

So I was in the grocery store today, still amazed at how many candies and novelties they already have on the shelves for Valentine's Day, when I stumbled upon something that simply should not exist. Cherry. Flavored. Kit Kats. Look, I'm all for having fun with the seasonal candies 'n stuff, and sometimes they'll release someone new that really does taste good. But cherry flavored white chocolate Kit Kats? No thanks. Actually, I was sure that these would pique your curiosity, perhaps even sound tasty to a few of you sickos... so I picked up a package for myself to prove to you just how bad these things are and hopefully prevent you from wasting your cash on 'em.

Valentine's Day Kit Kats!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

First off, you can't make the package for one the greatest candies on earth pink. I don't give a damn if it's Valentine's Day or not. Why not make it red? Red as the blood draining from an ex-lover who cheated on you. Yeah, now that's how you celebrate Valentine's Day in style! But pink? Come on. They're thin candy strips and now they come in a pink package? Some poor woman is gonna mistake these things for pregnancy tests now. And while I do condone pissing all over this new flavor, it'll hardly give you ladies accurate results if you're hoping to find out whether or not you have an alien growing in your belly.

Disgusting pink crap

Upon opening the package, you're hit with a smell that you simply cannot deny: "Hey! That smells like cherry cough syrup!" Yeah, I like cherries as much as the next guy, but there's nothing worse than the fake cherry flavors that they tried to trick us into tasting when we were kids just so we'd take the medicine. And damnit, they've made the Kit Kats themselves pink too. Blasphemy I say, blasphemy! So I gave the thing a taste, and sure enough, it was awful. These aren't the fantastic mint Kit Kats that came out not too long ago, these are their evil cousins who are determined to go to war with your tastebuds. I'm going to save these things for next Halloween and give them to any kids that show up at my door without costumes asking for candy. That's how awful they are. Try them if you like, but I'm sure you'll be wishing you bought that package o' mint flavored Kit Kats instead.

And on one last semi-related note: Am I the only one who was extremely disturbed when he saw Valentine's Day goods in the stores the day after xmas? If they put those candies out any earlier, they'd be expired before Valentine's Day even arrived. Now there's a great present to give to the one you love - a trip to the hospital for some stomach-pumping action!

Mario Kart DS

by -RoG- on 01/11/2006, 12:04 pm

So I've been playing Mario Kart DS far more than I probably should be playing it. So much in fact that I beat the entire game, including the 150cc Mirror Mode levels. I remember when I first started playing the game that those levels seemed like a dream that I'd never actually get to see, but somehow I pulled it off. Waiting for my computer to finish defragging or finishing a virus scan helps, because when it's doing that I can always get in a good number o' games.

Cool thing about the game, like many others, is that it allows you to unlock new characters and new karts if you win enough. Dry Bones is probably my favorite character to play as, because he's always clanking his bones around and doesn't make some high-shrilled yelp like some characters do whenever they pass by another kart. But one unlockable character really caught me by surprise...

R.O.B. the Robot in Mario Kart DS! :o

R.O.B. the Robot - the robotic controller from the original Nintendo Entertainment System! He's a really fun character to play as too since he can pretty much manhandle any of the other characters. So yeah, that's easily one of the best unlockables I've ever seen. Anyway, since I just beat the entire game, you get to see the alternate ending screen (they only show this one if you beat all of the courses with a gold medal):

Alternate Ending! :o

Nothing too exciting really, but it was worth playing through all that stuff just to unlock R.O.B. and all of the additional karts.

I've been playing online a bunch using the Nintendo DS WiFi connection. Do any of you have a DS? If so, be sure to post your Mario Kart DS friend codes here and I'll add you to my list. Already been playing a bunch of people from the I-Mockery forums and having a blast in those games, so I hope to see some of you in an online game too!

Here's my Mario Kart DS friend code: 352249-905076
