Batman Just Loves Beating Up Cops
Though I think they started it. Here’s the first clip of the upcoming DVD Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2.
When Peter Weller isn’t speaking, Batman is actually very badass in these movies. The DVD comes out on Jan. 29 and I am definitely going to watch. Though as you may recall, I wasn’t enthralled with the first one. Entertained, sure, but it had a lot of flaws.
What’s Jay Up to Nowadays?
Jason Mewes – of Jay and Silent Bob fame – will be starring later this month in a movie about competitive video gaming called Noobz…which I’m pretty sure is supposed to sound like ‘boobs’. And if that’s what they were going for, they definitely succeeded.
The movie will be released in theaters on Jan. 25, with January being the typical dumping grounds for bad movies. I don’t expect it to be any good, it’s just nice to know that Jason Mewes is still getting work, plus the game appears to be about a Gears of War tournament. My friends and I used to play Gears of War online all the time. We were semi-good, and it was a blast. So maybe this will be some kind of guilty pleasure movie.
And judging by the poster, they were definitely going for ‘boobs’.
And why shouldn’t they?
A Year in Video Games: 2012
I don’t do any yearly wrap-ups because my memory is as bad as an elephant with a learning disability. I can’t even remember all the new games I tried in the past year. Fortunately, people like Gamestain are around to help me remember.
What were your favorite games in 2012? I think Assassin’s Creed 3 was my favorite overall game. I didn’t particularly care for Resident Evil 6, and I barely played Mass Effect 3 for reasons I still don’t understand. I mean, seriously, I played and loved the first two games, but I barely even started 3. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I’m loving Mists of Pandaria for World of Warcraft, though it’s recently been overshadowed by some great games. The Walking Dead by Telltale Games was amazing…until it crashed when I tried to launch the fifth chapter and corrupted my save file. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to finish. Scribblenauts Unlimited is a blast. And I’m currently playing Pokemon Black 2 and WWE 13 with my girlfriend. Remind me to tell you guys someday about Super Clown!
So what were your favorite video games in 2012? And what are you looking forward to most in 2013?
My 6 New Year’s Resolutions for 2013
My New Year’s Resolution for 2012 was to stop drinking soda. I lasted about two or three weeks before accidentally forgetting while at a basketball game and having a bottle of sweet, sweet Mountain Dew. It was all downhill from there…until I had a checkup in the hospital in September and found I had high blood pressure. After that, I managed to kick the soda and I haven’t had a drop since! So it took a few months, but I managed to fulfill my New Year’s Resolution!
So what about this year?
Babies in top hats are always fun
I know that 2013 is going to be a very good year. I think, if we all put our minds to it, we can totally make it so! And what better way to celebrate 2013 than ensuring that my resolutions succeed! Here are my 6 New Year’s Resolutions for 2013!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/29/12
After last week’s tsunami of comics, both Marvel and DC decided to take it easy during Christmas. Marvel has only delivered The Amazing Spider-Man #700 (and a side issue that I didn’t read), while DC only put out Justice League and Aquaman, kicking off their big Throne of Atlantis storyline. So I’m definitely excited to say that this week’s comics were all pretty damn awesome. I’ve already written at length about my reaction to the big revelation in The Amazing Spider-Man #700, so now I’m just going to review the comic itself – which earns the coveted Comic Book of the Week!
Not that Aquaman and the gang over at DC Comics don’t have some fun this week too.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #700, Justice League #15, and Aquaman #15.
