Asian Edge (AE): Uzumaki

Listen up people! I LUV (I'm so retarded...) asian movies. I especially love ones that make "normal" people uneasy. Uzumaki does that on a different level. How? Well it combines a HEAVY Lovecraftian influence with the manga aestetic of storytelling that gets under your skin. In fact the movie is based on an even better manga. What's the plot? How 'bout a review? NO! All I need to tell you is that people die in ways regarding the geometric outcast that is the SPIRAL... It's sick, it's twisted, it's fun. Easily one of my treasures... Go buy it! AMAZON LINKIES!!! My collection LINKIES!

Eargasm (EG): Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Year Zero is easily one of the best albums of 2008... Trent Reznor paints an awesome picture of the boundary between church and state dissolving and the Government taking control all while otherworldly forces are moving behind the scenes . Many of the songs are haunting and the source material he released on the 'net (NOTE: I'm still not hip) creates an awesome world we very well could end up living in. The websites he created to flesh out this album are well thought out and rest of the promo material is equally cool. Yes, it's a "concept" album and many people don't care for them, but given the time the album has been out and the praise that it has received show that it's easily going to become a timeless release. If you haven't listened to it yet check it out, just make sure you look at the online supplimental stuff as well. LINKIES!

My favorite links (MFL): Hardcore Gaming 101

OK guys, this one is a dozy. Easily on the highest echelons of fuckin' awesome is the site Hardcore Gaming 101. There is so much info on so many great (and often times obscure) games it crazy it's all localized on one site. I found this page by accident while trying to find out which Super Famicom Parodius titles I just picked up from my job. In my opinion the jewel of their collection is an 11+ page article on the Shin Megami (Megaten if you're hip, I however am not...) series. Seriously, if you are a fan of video games at all you owe it to yourself to check out this site. Way to go guys!
LINKIES!

Wow, I post so frequently...

Reading is PHUN (RIP): Scott Pilgrim Series

I'm what 40 & 50 year old marketing people would label as a "gamer" *quotation fingers* so it's no surprise I'm a fan of the Scott Pilgrim series. For those not "in the know" of what this series is all about hit up the wiki link I just provided you (duh) *ahem* or for those to lazy I'll give you a quick summary. Bryan Lee O'Malley creates a great world grounded in a teen drama assaulted by obscure and not so obscure video game references. It's about a guy's life to acquire the perfect girlfriend (one that delivers packages for amazon.ca and can zip in and out between our dimension and another.) NOTE: If that last sentence was a run on I'll apologize to my English teachers on my deathbed. To officially "claim her" and call her his girlfriend he must defeat her 7 evil ex-boyfriends in wacky and chaotic duels to the death. Not only does he tell a fun story but he also does a bang up job emulating a manga-type stlye filled with clever visual puns and really fuckin cute chicks. Anyway, if defeated ex-boyfriends that explode into coin currency and yell "BARF!" triggers your nerd-sense GO BUY THE BOOKS NOW! BEFORE THE MOVIE COMES OUT SO YOU DON'T SEEM "TRENDY"! MICHAEL CERA I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU BUT DON'T FUCK THIS UP! *ahem* LINKIES!

Stuff to watch (STW): Engine Sentai Go-Onger

As some of you probably know I STILL like Power Rangers. However, not in some terrible fanboy way. I just really appreciate cheese... I'm currently watching Engine Sentai Go-Onger. This is the 32nd incarnation of the Power Rangers and it's great. The work that the Japanese put into the special effects in this show is just awesome. Sure it's aimed at kids, but man is this show fun to watch. There isn't much of a mature story, but the introduction and developing of concepts and new characters is built upon very well. If you are interested do the normal amount of digging i.e. google and you can find the fansubbers that have it available for d/l.

Check out the intro at you own risk *humming will soon follow* LINKIES!
