Two systems enter, one system leaves

While I've always been happy with my first purchase, this new pinstripped mamma-jamma was at an incredible steal and too good to pass up. Now I'm left with a decision, which to keep and which to try to hawk on an auction site.

The Hanshin Tigers Gamecube/gameboyplayer is an incredible collectible which resulted from an odd season of baseball last year. Plus I should note that it is very easy to modify should I want to play games from around the world on it. The gameboy player is something I've always wanted too.

The "Q" looks rad, plus with it's recent stop in production, it makes this a collectible too. Gameboy players are no longer made for it but can be found on Ebay for $300 instead of the usual $50. Region 2 dvd playback is also a bonus for me.

I have no need for two of them, but parting with one will be mighty tough considering their uniqueness. What to do, what to do?

Contender #1: My pride and joy. What I waited out on buying a gamecube until I got to Japan for. The japan only "Q", a gamecube/ DVD hybrid which recently went out of production. What a sexy beast. You'll notice a copy of Pikmin 2 nuzzled up against it's warm body looking for nourishment. Sexy indeed... 

Contender #2: The surprise winners from last year's baseball season were the Hanshin Tigers. Their strong year caused the entire country to jump on their bandwagon including Nintendo with this special edition Gamecube/ Gameboy Player/ Jersey pack. Incredibly cool or slightly ugly but collectible? I'm still figuring that one out. Regardless, it's my new best friend. 

Beastie Boys: To the 5 Boroughs

I think this album has been out for a few days now and I'm sure all you people with normal television have seen their single, but I haven't done any of that so this serves me more than it may you. Although, I have heard the single on the American Army base's AM station but it was sorta fuzzy at the time. From what I heard, it sounds pretty much how I expected it to sound, which is good and bad, I guess. Curious about the rest of the album. Maybe I'll get WinMX fired up tonight to see what all the fuss is about.

Review: This is just one man's (apparently biased views) on the new Beastie Boys album. Just something to give you a taste of what to expect. Just remember to formulate your own opinions.

More of an experiment than legitimate post.

Your comic relief saved you. You were probably
the hero's best friend and messed up a lot, but
helped him in some major way, believing in
yourself, near the end. As the sympathetic
character, you live.

(Dale's note: Not sure why I'm really posting this. It was more to see if all the little tags and stuff should be (and could be) in the post or added to the template. Turns out, just the post. I'm a winner, or rather sidekick. I r0x0rz).

SAW

I think this trailer is pretty old by now but I thought I would bring it to everybody's (well, one person I guess) attention.

If anybody doesn't get a heavy feeling in their stomach after watching this, then you just might be a toaster.

Click the title and sit back. Not graphic in anyway, but it's got an evil ranking of 11. Can't wait to check it out.

Hands on review! New "C2" Coca-Cola!

Here's a beautiful (The out of focus part is to make it look mysterious.) shot of the newest coke. I hear it's made from monkeys, for monkeys, by monkey's. Now how's that for deep? 

So since I hear that Japan is such a supporter of a wide variety of soft drinks, Coca-cola decided it would be spiffy to introduce the "new(est)" coke here first.

If that's the case, then I'm the first of you do get my mits on it. Seeing as I can't even remember the last time I actually bought a coke (or pepsi) this one tasted pretty much the same. Maybe not as snip-snappity fizzy though.

And since all products can't be sold until it reaches a certain garbage making requirement, this one comes with a special offer for a special "C2" cell phone strap! Lucky day! I say stick with the juice and water, kids. This'll rought your teeth out.

 

Napoleon Dynamite-(clip)

I've been keeping my eye on this movie for a little while now based on how the characters look pretty much. I saw a picture of Mr. Dynamite (awesome name) and read a few early screening impressions from a few days ago and have developed a creepy crush.

This clip is one of about 6 that IGN DVD has up. I always pictured him to be smoother and not border-line retarded but after watching a few clips I've gotten used to this new character. I've gots Dynamite fevaah! Hope this movie doesn't suck.

UPDATE:Review of Napoleon Dynamite!

Flames Win!...

....is what we all wanted to hear, but alas their true self shines through and the fluke season finally catches up. Had a lot of fun this year going out "on school nights" to watch the games with friends who don't know how to make their VHS tape from 3 hours to 6 and missing out on the last few minutes on two consecutive games.

Actually I just came home from game 7 and am still a little buzzed so you'll have to excuse the sloppiness. Out of all the game I watched, Calgary lost. Bunch of losers. I admit that I was a really good series and the only one I can remember that has kept my interest in about sayyyyyyy 10 years. You'll notice that Canada hasn't been in the finals for the past 9 or 10 years which leads to why my interest has been out to lunch during that time.

Don't have too much more to say than that. The rainy season started up early this year. That means the clouds are crying for Canada, so I'm told. Yep, one month of rain. One month of moldy shirts and spiders who take refuge in your home only to build webs in the night for you to walk through in your morning stupor.

Well, here's hoping a decent Canadian team makes it to the finals next year. My cheering for Calary was kind of forced considering the USA, Canada match up. Glad to finally see it though.

later,
