Waffles or Pancakes?

by -RoG- on 03/06/2007, 4:10 am

My fellow mockers, I come to you today with another discussion topic that is of vital importance. It's a question with an answer that is long overdue...

Waffles vs. Pancakes! THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR ONE ON YOUR PLATE!

So what's it gonna be? Waffles or Pancakes? Make sure you back up your choice with supporting evidence... and syrup. Lots and lots of syrup.

In other news, some of you might like to know that I recently put up some archives of my work for National Lampoon. When they redesigned their site a while back, they apparently lost a lot of their old article archives that myself and a variety of other good writers (including Max Burbank and Jay Pinkerton) did. Well, fortunately I saved backups of most of my Lampoon pieces minus an image or two, and they're now up on I-Mockery. You can check them out here:
http://www.i-mockery.com/lampoon

Some of you probably never even saw those pieces, so you can pretend that it's a batch of brand new I-Mockery articles. Joy of joys!

I also wanted to mention that, the results from the Gymkata "flag ninja" contest have been posted, so be sure to check 'em out! Thanks to those of you who participated... we'll have more contests coming soon!

Anyway, let the Waffles vs. Pancakes discussion commence!

The snot demons have invaded my brain

by -RoG- on 02/28/2007, 11:17 am

I have a head cold at the moment. Nothing more annoying than getting one because, while the rest of my body feels perfectly fine, my head feels like flowing with a river of snot. I've taken some cold medicine that'll surely knock me out for a while and when I wake up, it had better be gone so I can get some work done.

Voodoo - the cure for the common cold!

In case over-the-counter medicines aren't enough, pretend you're all voodoo priests/priestesses and prescribe me some kind of strange voodoo cocktail that will cure me instantly. Anything goes, just include all of the ingredients in your list.

GO!

The “new” Michael Myers

by -RoG- on 02/26/2007, 6:34 pm

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's a picture of the Michael Myers from Rob Zombie's upcoming "Halloween" movie:

I like mud wrestling, killing, and long walks on the beach

Other than some extra dirt and grime, not much has changed.

While I'm no fan of any of the recent Halloween installations, I'm honestly not sure what to think about this. On one hand, the series definitely needs a fresh start, but at the same time I don't know if a retelling of the original story is where to go. If it were me filming the movie, I'd probably just pick things up off where part 4 or 5 left off... pretending that the later ones never even happened. I mean really, Bustah Rhymes in a Halloween movie where they spend a night in Myers' home for a spooky web broadcast? That's something I wouldn't mind erasing from my memory. Plus, I'm not sold on Rob Zombie either. I thought his first film "House of 1000 Corpses" was weak as hell. "The Devil's Rejects", however, was a big improvement and entertained me throughout most of the film. So there's hope for the guy, sure... but to hand over the reins of one of the greatest horror movies ever created to him? I think that could prove to be a big mistake.

And then there's this...

Can I have a juice box when I'm done trying to look scary?

Meet "young" Michael Myers. Sorry, but he looks about as scary as Macaulay Culkin in "The Good Son" there... trying way too hard. Looks more like a kid who should be in the youngest Swedish death metal band on earth, not a young Michael Myers. And how does he go from a young kid with long blonde hair to a grown man with shorter, brown hair? Before going on a murderous rampage, did myers buy some "Just For Men" hair dye and go to town with it? Also, I tend to not like prequels. I don't need to know more about Michael Myers as a child. What was provided in the first film was just the right amount. Dr. Loomis said it best: "I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the *devil's* eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil!"

Perfection. You don't need anything more than that. I'm definitely going to give the movie a chance, but from what I've heard and seen so far, I'm not going to get my hopes up either. And for those of you who say "Well, it can't be worse than Halloween III", screw you, I like that movie. Silver Shamrock!

So what do you guys think? Is this new Halloween movie going to bomb or will it finally bring the Halloween series back to where it needs to be?

UPDATE: Now that the movie is out and I've seen it, you can read my full review of it here.

Mii, Wii and the Agonii of Defiit

by -RoG- on 02/22/2007, 7:50 pm

I'm sure you've read my travel tales of woe from last week by now. If you haven't, check it out so you can feel better about your traveling experiences. Now, while the traveling itself was about as fun as having King Kong administer a colonoscopy, hanging out with everybody in Richmond was real nice. It also marked the first time that we got to really sit down and play the Nintendo Wii. Sure, we were at the big Wii launch party here in L.A., but with so many people there, we didn't get to play any of the games for long enough. That all changed in Richmond, cuz Proto and his roommates have a Wii with four controllers.

The two games we played were "Rampage: Total Destruction" and "Wii Sports". Rampage was actually a game I brought along with me cuz a generous I-Mockery viewer got it for me off o' my Wish List (thanks again Chris!). The game is actually a lot of fun, especially with four people playing at once, and there are some damned cool characters in it. I wouldn't recommend playing it without the nunchuck controller though cuz it's too hard to control your monsters without it. It's also got the original Rampage and "Rampage: World Tour" games included, so it should easily satiate all your rabid smashing needs.

Wii Sports was both a lot of fun and frustrating depending on what games I played. Tennis was easily my favorite of the bunch since it seemed to respond exactly like it should and it also resulted in plenty of shouting. Good times, good times. Bowling was alright, but I definitely need more practice with that one. My official "I suck" game would have to be boxing. Man, I could barely get my guy to even throw a punch. I was just a big wobbling target. Proto knocked my ass out in about 20 seconds. 20 SECONDS! Granted he's had more practice at the game, but come on... I should be able to last longer than that. Here's basically how it went, no matter who I fought:

This is the exact speed we played at.

DEFECTIVE I SAY, DEFECTIVE!

Oh well. I may have sucked at Wii Sports boxing and been knocked out faster than anyone in history, but they can't take one thing away from me...

Look! It's Mii!

My "Mii" character rules. Especially since I had to use a beauty mark to make the mouth.

Survey: Since there aren't a whole lot of things you can do to customize your "Mii" character, what customization options should Nintendo add to the Wii system in the future? More hats? Weapons? Capes? Let's hear your ideas!

p.s.: you guys rule for sharing your immense knowledge of Butterscotch. We'll have to start having more discussions like that on here from now on.

Back in town…

by -RoG- on 02/19/2007, 6:07 pm

Hey all, I'm back in town from visiting the East coast. I'm busy catching up on lots o' stuff at the moment such as fixing things that broke while I was away (like the blog) and going through all my emails. Will have more funtastic updates for you soon enough though.

In the meantime, allow me to provide you all with a topic for discussion:

Butterscotch. Share your thoughts on butterscotch. I want to hear it all.... historical facts, how it has changed society as a whole, why caramel has declared war on it, how it may have caused the extinction of dinosaurs, the works.

GO!
