Henchman

I love Penny Arcade.

So call me a nerd...

It really wouldnt be the first time.

As many (if not all) of you know, Im a huge Harry Potter fan and not afraid to say it.  I dont think there is a book or series of books that has ever made me want to keep reading like these books have.  These books got a lot of kids, and not-kids, to read again.  That whole witchcraft / magic argument is something for another day.

To my point.  

The newest trailer for the newest film was recently released and I must say this looks to be the most true-to-the-book adaptation of the entire series (thus far).  Order of the Phoenix was pretty spot on, but there are only so many things you can put in a movie while other, 'less important', plot points get left by the wayside.  Im honestly not sure how they are going to fit all the important details in to the movie.  Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince are definitely the 'Empire Strikes Back' parts of the series.  Nothing is going at all how it should.  People die that just...well...shouldnt if we're being honest.  And all hope seems, not to sound cliche, lost.  There are a lot of ends that need to start thinking about being tied up in this book, so heres hoping they put forward a good effort.

Heres the most recent trailer.  If it doesnt get you at least a little excited, I just dont know what will.

Enjoy.

I love this song

Im not exactly sure what award these guys should win, but it should  be block shaped.

Hey! I know that guy!!

Once upon a time I worked at the UPS Store.

Once upon that same time I worked with a guy named Scott Kirkpatrick.

Once upon that exact same time he was starting up a little band called 'Chemic'.

I heard some of their stuff that he would bring in to work and throw in the CD player and thought they were really good.  Little did I know that they would "blow up" as big as they have.  Theyre pretty popular around these Louisville parts, and good to boot.

They recently did a live session for Laundro Matinee.

Heres the link.  You should check em out.

Bret, do you even pay any attention to the cup roster?

It really doesnt get much funnier than these guys.

You know you've done it...

I was on Digg earlier and I came across this headline:

The Top 9 Video Game OCD Moments You Know You’re Guilty Of

It was one of those that you just have to click on so you can see if you really are guilty of said thing(s).

I have to say it was pretty accurate.  As the list counted down I became, almost laughably, more and more guilty.  Ill give you a quick run-down of my list.

#9:  I wouldnt be guilty of this, but it turns out I played (play actually) Fallout 3 and yes, I have recently started picking up every single thing I can find which isnt a small task.  You can pick up almost anything.  Coffee mugs, clip boards, baseball bats, pencils, portable launchers for nuclear warheads...anything.

#8: This one I am actually not guilty of, if only for the fact that Ive never played Animal Crossing.  Sorry.

#7:  Im not as guilty of this as some (Brian).  There were a few times I didnt have multiple saves while playing through a Final Fantasy and it came back to bite me.  There have been times, however, when Ive made sure to save it so I can go back and punch someone in the face and not have to pay the price.  :)

#6: YOU CANT JUST LEAVE THE GUNS LYING AROUND!!  Its free ammo!!! Of course Im going to pick it up!

#5: Oh yes yes yes.  Ive unloaded on my share of Metroid doors knowing full well they open with just one shot.

#4: Hahahahahahahaha....yes....just....yes....

#3: Honestly, who hasnt?

#2: This goes back to #6.  If its there Im going to pick it up, even if I have to use one of the same thing to do it Im going to pick it up.

#1: I have never been more guilty of anything.  I cant even begin to think about counting the number of boss doors Ive jumped through.  If you havent then you just havent lived.

Fashion is Danger

I took a break from Decembering to bring you a new video from our friends Flight of the Conchords.  Im sad I dont have HBO which means I cant watch the new season, but that just means Ill have to get it on DVD whenever it comes out.

They make the 80's even more hilarious than it already was.
