The new Star Trek trailer came out around 30 minutes ago, and I have to admit that I was highly skeptical right before I clicked that play button… Before today I watched as screen shots constantly hit the net, featuring all these young actors and I must admit that the geek in me was a tad frightened. I couldn’t quite get my head around how a this young dude can be a captain… I don’t think anything I’ve seen including this trailer gives any incite into that. Nevertheless, after watching the trailer I must admit that I’m pretty damn sold.

ASU Track Team Convinces George W. Bush to Give the Shocker

For those of you who don’t know what The Shocker is, Wikipedia explains:

The shocker is a hand gesture with a sexual connotation. The ring finger and thumb are curled or bent down while the other fingers are extended. The index and middle fingers are kept together (touching) and the back of the hand faces outwards (away from the gesturer). The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the little finger into the unwitting anus, hence the “shock”. Because of its explicit sexual connotation, the shocker is sometimes considered vulgar. Occasionally, the thumb may be positioned so that it may stimulate the clitoris. Mnemonic rhymes are used in order to remember its meaning, including “two in the pink, one in the stink.”

 P.S. Yes, this is a real photo as seen on the official presidential website under News Releases.

The Nerd has a new video up on the CDI, I never owned one personally… most of us were smart enough to figure out it was crap to begin with.  I remember giving it a shot at the Fed-co, laughing and then walking away… never to give it another envious thought.

He’s laying off on the Angry Rants recently… perhaps old age, nevertheless… good stuff.

Word on the street is that we will see the trailer on the net Monday, and on Friday with Quantum of Solace. Until then, check out Entertainment Weekly’s sneak peak at the JJ’s Enterprise.

10:30pm PST: The servers are back online after an extended downtime and it appears that the PVP vendors are giving out free spell power gear.  I expect that this has to be a glitch on Blizzard’s part.

10:47PM PST: So now I’ve gotten full S2 gear for my priest for free… this has to be a bug? Right?

11:04PM PST: My 53 Warlock now has a free, full set, of level 70, S2 gear… wow.

11:31PM PST: wowinsider.com is reporting that there is a message when you log into wow that says they are aware of the issue and recommends you do not purchase the items.

11:33PM PST: I gave it a shot and I didn’t see anything like that.

11:38PM PST: Having a career in IT, I’d hate to be the lead Software Engineer right now.

Lets not get confused here, Twilight is not a vampire movie… 30 Days of Night is a vampire movie, Dusk Till Dawn is a vampire movie, Twilight is nota vampire movie… You do not fly around on the back of  a vampire through lush green forests, you do not fall in love with vampires, you do not turn your fucking back to a vampire. You drive a stake through their heart and decapitate vampires.

End of story…

Some of you asked me to write sort of a small review of this year’s blizzcon. An event I’ve throughly enjoyed for the past two years. Taking into consideration the ‘incredible hell’ fans had to go through to get tickets I still tend to believe it was worth it. So lets cover the basics point by point…

• Star Craft 2: Awesome, it was simply incredible and single handedly I believe this game will pull me from the strangle hold of WOW. My fear is that this game will be too computer intensive and WOW and it’s simple but gorgeous graphics will welcome me home with open arms.
• Diablo 3: It needs some work… However, if you loved Diablo 2 and understand the brilliance that is the Blizzard Art Team you see this game has an incredible amount of vayden (Norse for potential).
• Panels: Not really as good as the previous years… I’m thinking this feeling was heavily influenced by covering 3 games as opposed to 1 or 2. Everything felt watered down and the only panels that had any serious detail were the Diablo panels. Every Warcraft panel ended with people asking questions about class and how they think that Paladin’s are overpowered.
• The Envoirment: Awesome but crowded… I’ve loved how Blizzard doesn’t feel the need to pack the Convention center to the max… This time they could have shaved off an extra 3000 and it would of been just fine.

Well, that’s the basics… if you want any details, just ask away.

I’m sooooo Geeking out right now.

According to In Business Las Vegas’s site the Star Trek Experience is making a come back!

It appears as if they will be expanding it as well… “The Star Trek Experience will have five components and most elements could be completed next year, when a new Star Trek movie is scheduled for release. Just as the new movie will have some familiar characters in some unfamiliar roles, the Star Trek Experience will be similar but different from its predecessor and includes significant upgrades.” …lets hope our good friend the Borg Sphere makes a come back.

The bad part about this is that it will be operating at some place called the “Neonopolis”… What in the shit is a Neonopolis? Wikipedia says the following: “Neonopolis has so far been a failure commercially”.

Crap.

According to this dude (is Niall a dude or a chick’s name?) : “The future seems bright for Mulder and Scully. While I Want To Believe may not have been a huge commercial and critical success it has generated enough coin to get a third film off the ground.”

While the last movie was horrible… and by horrible I mean that it was a simplistically boring episode of the x-files that was streched to 2 hours. My Wife, being a hardcore fan of the series loved it and found no flaw in it’s rediculously stupid storyline. This has led to the opposite of a healthy debate on the subject and when it arrives on Blu Ray I’m told we will be purchasing said movie in support of a third movie.  Allowing Chris Carter to compleat his Arc into translating a show about Aliens and Monsters into a show about solving normal everyday crimes.

CSI-Files!

Look Chris, take a seat…

I go to you for Aliens and Monsters…

Not this child molesting priest, human transplant bullshit… and you don’t get any points for that fucking ridiculous two headed dog crap. Sorry about the spoilers, but when dinner is a surprise and you find out dinner is some form of feces you’re just happy you looked before you took a bite. There’s no such thing as spoiling a turd on a plate.

Sorry, life kind of got a hold of me… New Job, New Responsibilities… WOW…

Well anyhow, here we go again…
