My first album review! Mark Ronson And The Business Intl: Record Collection

Release Date: Sep 28, 2010

So I know on this blog I mostly write about my favorite pastime which is gaming. But if you took the time to read my blog description you would know that I also write about television shows, movies and MUSIC! I am a avid music listener that happens to enjoy music that spans musical genres. I even listen to music in languages I do not understand because I am one of those people that truly believes that music is universal. As long as I can feel it I will listen to it. So with that being said I am going to review Mark Ronson And The Business Intl: Record Collection.

Movie Review: Devil

Ok, so Friday night I decided to go check out the movie Devil with a couple of my friends despite the Shyamalan name being attached to this movie and I am actually happy I did because surprisingly Devil turned out to be a suspenseful, entertaining and at times quite frightening film. I can honestly say it is Shyamalan's best in a while! Who knew all he needed to do was not direct or write the movie himself but give someone else a concept let them write it and then find someone to direct the film. Why didn't he think of this soultion sooner?

Sign Ups for Xbox Live Dashboard Update Preview is now closed!

OK, so a little birdie told me that he tried to sign up for the Xbox Live Dashboard beta update and it has now officially been filled. That's right Microsoft has meant their quota so if you haven't signed up for it sorry but you are going to have to wait until launch. I however, got mine in on time and I will be getting the beta along with a lot of the people on my friends list. I will be reviewing the new dashboard and giving those who didn't get a chance to sign up the scoop on all the new features. If you want to try your hand and see if some space has opened up just click the link and give it your best shot.

Bungie is Cleaning House!

Bungie's final weekly update before the launch of Halo: Reach mentions that it has already wiped Credits early players have earned in the game, and begun banning online cheaters.

Under the heading "A Brave New World", community reps Sketch and Tyson acknowledge that there are players with legitimate, legally obtained copies of Reach out there now - "courtesy of an eager retail store that couldn't wait".

Reasons You Should Watch "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

One of my favorite television shows of all time is coming back this Thursday night September 16th for its 6th season. This show is no other than the cult favorite turned hit "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". This gem that truly started picking up steam when Danny DeVito joined the cast in season 2 has been described as "Seinfeld on Crack" and I have to agree with that assessment. The premise is simple--four selfish, ignorant, and despicable friends run a bar in Philly. That's it! That sums up the whole show. Like Seinfeld, the enjoyment from It's Always Sunny comes from the characters' eccentricities, ethical deficiencies, and relationships with one another.  So I am giving you the reasons why you should tune into this show!

Xbox Live Price Increase Coming November 1

Microsoft has announced that it is increasing the rates for certain Xbox Live Gold subscriptions in the UK, US, Canada and Mexico as of 1st November.

Brad Pitt Linked To Red Dead Redemption Movie

With video game to movie adaptations coming out of the wood work there is no surprise in hearing all the chatter about the hit Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption may be coming to a theatre near you. I just never would have thought a star with such a big name would be attached to it. Brad Pitt may have been tapped to play the gritty lead character John Marston!

SPOILER ALERT!! Call Of Duty: Black Ops - Weapons, Perks, Killstreaks And More

Ok Sorry I have been gone for so long! I however come back bearing gifts. Spoilers for Call of Duty Black Ops. I am really looking forward to this game coming out and I am posting the latest in updates here! Activision held the very first hands-on event for "Call of Duty: Black Ops" multiplayer and someone was nice enough to managed to take down the massive list of every single unlockable that Treyarch showed at the multiplayer event. Every gun, every perk, every killstreak. So I am posting it here for you to take a look at. Any thoughts?

Comic Books That Should Be Television Shows!

Let's face it! I don't think there will be a summer where there is no big comic book adaptation being placed on our movie screens. There are all types of comic book properties being bought up like crack in New Jack City because they are lucrative if done right. Spiderman, Iron Man and Batman are some examples of a comic book hero coming to your screen and setting off a new blockbuster franchise that makes movie studios millions of dollars. Now I am a fan of the "super hero" genre of movies especially when they are done as exceptionally well. Christopher Nolan has proven it can be done with the genius that is "The Dark Knight". However, there are some comic books where the story would be best suited for the television medium. Sometimes you need to invest a little more time into the world and characters that are created to fully appreciate the story taking place and 1hr and 30 mins is just not gonna cut it. So here is my list for the comic books that should be television shows!

Gamer of the Week!

Here is Ix iRon Taco xI

Here is this week's "Gamer of the Week! He is a NY native who plays guitar in a kick ass band known as "Nothing Near Sight". His band currently plays Metallica cover songs while they are working on their own cool material. So I had a little chat to get inside the head of a power cord playing guitar player to learn about some of the things he likes and his gaming habits.

The New Call of Duty: Black Ops Trailer

So I got my first look of the new Call of Duty Black Ops trailer and I have to say I am officially EXCITED! There are a lot of new surprises in store and I for one can't wait because I am addicted to this series. However, I would like for them to handle the glitching issues before and during launch so we don't end up with the seemingly endless amount of cheaters we had for Modern Warfare 2.  So here are a few things to look forward to in the upcoming release.

Madden 2011 is finally here!

She was the very first person to receive her
copy because she was the first person in line
LUCKY!!!!

OK,  so I am just getting home from my local video game store from picking up my copy of Madden 2011 at 12am. I haven't cracked open my game just yet because I wanted to write this post. I did however manage to get a little game time in at the store for one half and I can honestly say that I think I am going to be comfortable with the changes that have been made to the game. There are a few things I have to get used to. For instance there is no turbo button on the default settings. I didn't realize this until after a couple of plays but before you know if you will completely forget all about the missing turbo. But all in all the game play looks fantastic. This year's Madden is most definitely geared towards the mainstream football fan by being less complex so to some this will be a welcomed change but to some of the hardcore Madden fans there may be a few complaints. But I don't think the bad outweigh the good here. So enjoy the game everybody. Looking forward to seeing you online.

Classic Movies That Should NEVER Be Remade!

Hollywood has a bad habit of rehashing old classics to disastrous results. We have Planet of The Apes, Psycho, The Longest Yard and who can forget the horrific epic fail that was Clash of the Titans. These are prime examples of "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it" motto. Remaking a film is not easy and should be avoided unless it is in the worthy hands of someone who understood why the original is a classic in the first place. There has to be a legitimate reason for an update. Plus the update needs to be adding something to the original without completely losing the essence of the original. I know it is hard to keep up but this is the criteria I have set for all the people thinking of remaking some of the classics we know and love. These films are called "CLASSICS" for a reason Mr. Hollywood Exec that thinks he is the next damn Ari Gold! So here is my list of the top films that SHOULD NEVER be remade! (in no particular order)

Gamer of The Week!

Say Hello To XxInC0gNgR0xX

This 16 year old New York Native gamer is known for having a venom laced tongue. That means he is no stranger to trash talking. Don't be too alarmed. He only does it to get your head out of the game for an easy victory. Plus it makes things more interesting right? So I chatted with the official first ever "Gamer of the Week" to learn a little more about him.
