I’m so pissed. Heath will never be able to do this role again. By far, he was the best actor in any batman movie. I’m not joking. He sold it. The joker, pure genius. I’m a huge fan of Christian Bale(american psycho is one of my all time favorite movies) as well, and he one up’d him as well. Heath pulls off the psycho perfectly. Beyond what I was expecting. Jack Nicholson looks ammature in this role when compared to Heath. Ok ok, enough of Heath. How was the movie. Great, dark, epic, and a rush. It’s long and does a good job at reeling you in from the get go. I don’t want to give anything away, so I wont go into it beyond my impression. WOW. I really thought the acting was pretty good, but a few of Batman’s more intense lines were a bit forced only in a couple of part, but beyond that, I was really floored by it all, the fx, lo tek, the gritty look and feel. The realism. I liked it lots. The best super hero movie ever in my book. I am going to watch this on an IMAX screen soon. This is a must see. I give it a 10 out of 5. R.I.P. Heath. You nailed this one to the wall. I think it’s your best performance as an actor. We will miss you.

I played the demo a lot with friends before the game actually was released. We loved the the demo that we got for free off the Playstation Network. The demo was multiplayer only. So the first thing I did when I took the game home was jump online. Same as the demo, with better maps. I play the game with lunggravy, krztov, and statikcat. Yup that is the VAC KLAN. We play it a lot, and often on psn. Any how, I finally played the single player and beat the game. What I loved about this game and another decent title from EA “army of two” is the characters. You are not playing with boring doom style characters anymore. These characters seem to have a lot more personality which really adds something to these mindless shooters. I really got a kick out of haggard. In fact before I bought the game, there were these cool pamphlets for the game, mimicking a perfume add you’d find in a magazine like vogue. It was scratch n sniff. It smelled like gun powder and explosions. Click Here to see it. I thought it was genius.

So what makes this game so revolutionary that it pulled me away from call of duty 4 more than any other shooter has? Destructible Environments, you cannot just hide behind walls anymore, i’m not talking shooting through walls, i’m talking blowing the wall away with a rocket, or grenade. There is this cool weapon in the game the support character gets, you aim it and hold it on a tank or a building and then rockets shoot down from the sky, from satellites I think. I love that weapon, If you are patient enough you can kill like 4 or 5 people in one building with one shot. Thats cool. I also like running around as the special forces character, he uses c4, nothing like sneaking up on a tank and planting it, running away and killing 2 or 3 guys in the tank, you get a ton of points. Like call of duty 4 there is an online rpg type element, you get points and ranks that allow you to unlock weapons.

So what else sets this above cod4? Vehicles. They control well and really add a lot to the game. The maps are way bigger than any other shooter on the ps3. Vehicles are needed to travel long distances in some of the maps. There is only one multiplayer mode, that is attackers VS defenders. One team protects 2 gold crates, the other team tries to blow them up. Simple. The maps can be big, and the games can be long, much longer than most multiplayer maps on other games. Despite a lack of game modes, I still prefer playing this over the other shooters on the market because of the vehicles and destructible environments.

The Single player is hilarious. Kind of silly. But over all, really fun I thought. I beat it. It took me about 10 or 12 hrs. I took my time and played it over a long period. I didn’t get burned out at all. The weapons in the game are great. The character classes are better too, I love the support character who can heal. This is a solid package. Great game that was worth every penny I paid for it. We will play this a lot until socom or killzone 2 comes out. I don’t think I will be going back to COD4 any time soon. I like this game better now.

8.0 Presentation
Menus are easy to navigate, but man, inviting friends on multiplayer is kind of stupid, it will show you your friend ,you click on it, then it brings you to your ps3 friend list, and you have to find your friend again and then select him again, then send a message, stupid. cod4 is still the best here.

8.5 Visuals
This doesn’t have better graphics when compared to cod4, but it is pretty decent, not the best, but it doesn’t suck either. The frame rate is pretty solid.

9.5 Audio
The audio is better than cod4, but it is glitchy some times. I hated the blues music, but loved the sound fx and voice acting. ehhehe.

9.2 Game Mechanics
This game is tight, perfect. Easy to aim, easy to kill. You can run for a long time unlike in cod4 where you run out of gas constantly like you are on celebrity fitness on vh1.

9.5 Replay
No online co-op single player, that sucks, but other than that, the one multiplayer mode it does have holds up beyond expectations.

9.5 Total Score.
(out of 10 / not an average)

This is a game that I will play in 3 years I bet. I like this more than call of duty 4. I know cod4 is more polished, but I think this is a lot more fun and has enough improvements over the others that it is getting my highest marks of any fps out on the ps3 right now.

Silent Shout Silent Shout Neverland The Captain We Share Our Mother’s Health Na Na Na Marble House Like a Pen From Off to On Forest Families One Hit Still Light

Are you serious? Messed up sweedish electroclash pop. WTF. So strange. I like it, Some times it blerts hey, i’m like bjork. Some times its more like, hey i’m electroclash. Sometimes, Hey I’m ballad pop. All I know is that I love her strange cartoonish voice.

I think this is the record to start with if you have not heard them before and are coming from an alternative background. I do like deep cuts a tiny bit more, but this lp flows better and has more edge to it. Watch all the videos to get the gist of what this band is about. A lot of the songs are very different. My favorite tracks are = This Marble House, Like a Pen, We share our mothers health, Silent Shout, and Still Light.

Dave @ vendeta records got me into this band. He first showed me the royksopp track that had the singer from this band doing guest vocals for one of royksopp’s songs. I really like their videos, they are pretty weird.

I really love how mysterious they make their image. It’s hard to find photos of them. Kind of like me. I think that is a good thing, I really tire of the face selling the music and of how image dominates a lot of the music industry. Art beats glam shots any day of the week in my book.

This is a great cd, I’ve owned it for a while now and I still listen to it a lot. I give this a 4.5 out of 5. Buy now! Click Here to buy Silent Shout by The Knife DRM FREE 256 mp3. Click Here to Buy audio cd Silent Shout by The Knife.

THE HAND! AGAIN:

Yes, at work, misconception led to injury. An accident. I wont explain the exact details, but the above is the results of working on panels I am not familiar with. What was so strange, it has helped me eat healthier these days, cause I wanted to heal up right. People said they wanted to see it, and I wanted to show that it wasn’t fake or an excuse. Good thing workers comp is going to cover it. I think I get the stitches out friday. I hope the tendon damage doesn’t make it so i don’t play guitar or synths as well. I hope for the best…

If you see anyone out supporting vac, take a picture, send it here, and i will post it. Thank all of you fans out there for sporting my shirts. You can still buy vac shirts, there is a link to the right.

I have also added a donate button, I don’t get paid for entering all this stuff on this web site, or toxic coma, which i will post for free again soon. So please donate if you love this site.

Listen to me sound like a dork through the lexicon pcm 96, I talk about my new job, and my hand injury. lol.. Hope you enjoy.

Its been hard to keep up with the blog, we have this big project at work that is pretty hard. I also hurt my finger and cut the tendon, I can still use it as long as my ring finger on my left hand is in a straight splint, which means i can barley play the ps3, i cannot play the guitar or synths with my left hand at all. But i still manage to play metal gear and bad company. PS3 owns. Sure it is lacking games, but mgs4 us the best game ever made. bad company rocks, and the above clip of the new killzone is proving which system has the best graphics and dark adult games that kick ass and have substance.

Music is on hold for 1 month. hand has to heal. I have a lot i need to write about, but typing is a bitch now with my messed up hand, so i might do mp3 clips for a while on each entry.
