"Essential" Packs at GameStop

I was at Gamestop tonight with some friends and after I had purchased Warhammer 40k Dawn of War Soulstorm I had glanced at the PS2 section and saw the two coolest things, the Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid essential packs which included the first three games of each series. They were seperate in case my wording had confused you. Each are roughly $30, I think these are both a must buy, I don't care what games you are into, you must buy them DMC and MGS are great series (hopefully that's the word). MGS in particular is so amazing, I love all of them, but mainly the first one, the one to start it all, I love it. As for DMC, it's great, but not as good as MGS, DMC 1 and 3 are the best. Anyways, yeah, pick these box sets up!

Music

I've started to get more into music and as a result created the song that can be found here.
I hope you all enjoy the song and I am hoping to make more music in the future.
(The song is a remix/edit)

As for the music I listen to, I highly recommend all my readers pick up:

1. "Schweinstein" by Schwein
2. "Nihil" by KMFDM
3. "East Side Militia" by Chemlab
4. "Artificial Soldier" by Front Line Assembly
5. "Sinsation" by Pig

And in music news KMFDM is releasing an album called "Extras Volume 1" which is simply put, a bunch of songs put on the original 12" and the CD also comes with a 24 page booklet that shows off art and other good stuff.
I know this is all jumbled just deal with it you nerd, you know what happens to nerds on the moon? Their pants get pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks!

Anti-Compaq

I have become seriously anti-Compaq because my laptop is crap and I have to deal with all of its problems. My laptop is two years old and my graphics card and mouse are slowly dying. When I first got my computer my mouse would randomly double click (my friend had the same problem), it would have a spaz attack with clicks, that slowly went away, and now the mouse just won't move on occasion and I have to give my little rectangular mouse pad "pimp hand" to make it work (I have to hit it hard!). My graphics card used to let me play Anarchy Online and System Shock 2, now it's as if my graphics card snuck out of my computer and left a piece of paper that says "I is teh graphiks card" so my computer won't let me play those games, even sadder it won't let me play Command & Conquer Red Alert.
I was trying to use one of my USB ports on my laptop and the port... WAS DEAD!!!! Nothing was recognized at all, so I used the other port and it worked just fine. I have also lost a bolt in the bottom of my laptop. WTF.
My friend has a Compaq laptop as well and he has had the same problems. Oh and by the way, who the hell designed integrated graphics cards? What a dumb idea.

System Shock 3?

Apparently EA games is going to make a System Shock 3, sounds good right? I mean come on, System Shock is an excellent series and we want more right!? WRONG! EA is making System Shock 3 without Ken Levine and his comrades and instead with the team that made the Godfather game. What does this mean? This means that the series is going to start sucking ass through a straw! The reason Ken isn't working on System Shock 3 is because he said:

One of the reasons I wasn't interested [in System Shock 3] is EA just didn't give a sh-t about that game.

Now I'm not 100% sure on all of this, but it is according to an article found in the UK edition of PC Gamer, as well as this picture:
If Ken seriously doesn't change his mind and start to work on this project with EA it could very well be the end of the System Shock series as we know it.

Contraversy with KMFDM

This is old news but I need to make a new post.
KMFDM is my favorite band, the main member is Sascha Konietzko who was born in Hamburg, Germany some time ago. Upon them breaking up (which they later reformed a few years later) they released an album called Adios. People had realized that Adios was released on Adolf Hitler's birthday, which wasn't intentional, it was all by coincidence and people automatically assumed that KMFDM was a band of Nazis. They aren't! Are you friggin' kidding me!? I can't really back up my views, but I am friends with Sascha, he isn't a Nazi.
Another contraversy was that Eric Harris, one of the shooters in the Columbine shooting, had posted lyrics from a few of KMFDM songs (this includes: "Anarchy", "Power", "Son of a Gun", "Waste", and "Stray Bullet") on his website. Again these idiots who blamed the shooting on Manson also blamed the shooting on KMFDM. Sascha Konietzko said the day after:

First and foremost, KMFDM would like to express their deep and heartfelt sympathy for the parents, families and friends of the murdered and injured children in Littleton. We are sick and appalled, as is the rest of the nation, by what took place in Colorado yesterday.

KMFDM are an art form — not a political party. From the beginning, our music has been a statement against war, oppression, fascism and violence against others. While some of the former band members are German as reported in the media, none of us condone any Nazi beliefs whatsoever.

The most recent incident was in November of 2007 with a shooting in a Finland school. Someone had made a video of the shooting (imbecile) and put the song "Stray Bullet" in the background.
Okay, seriously, what the hell. Do you people even know what "Stray Bullet" is about? Obviously not.

Another Attack on Video Games

In an article (SEEN HERE) Jack Thompson paraded in front of cameras after the NIU shooting blaming video games. The shooters roomates said he played the game "Counter-Strike" (as did everyone in the room) and the shooter also had a history of mental illness.
Now let's take a quick look at the Virginia Tech shooting, the shooter also had a history on mental illness; however, after a governor-ordered search, there was no connection to video games. Strangely enough Jack Thompson said this guy played video games, which were to blame for the shooting.
Interesting, eh?
So we should conclude here that Jack is a moron. He doesn't focus on the real issues at hand. Let's see here Jack, I'll give you some clue words and let's see if they help you out: "Iraq"...you're drawing a blank? Hmm, let's see here, how about this one, "war" ...no Jack it has nothing to do with video games. What I'm trying to get at here is that we could be bringing troops home from Iraq instead of leaving them in the desert. How about trying to do something about Darfur?
Of course none of the major issues appeal to you Jack because you're too busy wrapped up in your own crap to try and do something about it.

I will end this blog with an amazing quote said by Hal Halpin,

Blaming video games for the behavior of the mentally-challenged is vile on many levels.

Fully Automatic Shotgun!

The Blackwater group has developed a fully automatic 12 gauge shotgun called the AA-12. It has a drum that can carry up to 20 rounds and a normal magazine which carries less. The gun is virtually maintenance free considering that the gun is made from a bunch of different types of stainless steel. Another cool adaptation to the gun is that a new type of shotgun shell has been developed, inside the shell hides a fragmentation grenade called the Frag 12. Once the primer is hit, the Frag 12 zooms out of the shell and creates a big explosion. The AA12 is a force to be reckon with.

Grindhaus Productions Update #1

For those of you who don't know, my friend John and I have a production group called Grindhaus Productions, we got the idea for the name from the Grindhouse double feature that recently came out. Anyways, we got lots of movies planned.

• Devil May Cry fan movie
• Resident Evil remake movie
  
• Cataclysmic Space Catastrophe 2
• D-Day movie (possibly)

We completed the scripts for both Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, casting is going on for both. Cataclysmic Space Catastrophe 2 is being planned, and as for the D-Day Movie it is merely an idea that is being considered.
You can see the movies we have done HERE.

C&C Goes First Person... AGAIN!!!

Tiberium the next installment in the Command & Conquer series. This time it is an FPS. There was only one other Command & Conquer FPS and that was Renegade. Renegade was awesome. After that they planned to make Renegade two which would fill in the blank between Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun, but the game was later cancelled. So like most of the Command & Conquer games you are in the battle between GDI and NOD and their struggle to control the world. In Tiberium you are doing just that and you play as the good guys, GDI. The game picks up after C&C 3: Tiberium Wars and not only will you be fighting NOD, you'll be fighting the Scrin, an alien race who wants a piece of the Tiberium pie. According to Chris Plummer of EA LA you will be given one gun that you can transform to fit your needs. This means that it goes from standard assault rifle, to grenade launcher, to missile launcher, and back.
The game is expected to come out in 2009, after playing C&C Renegade I just can't wait to play this game. It is supposed to come out for PC, PS3, and XBOX 360.

I Cloned me a Filet Mignon!

Not really.
Apparently there's a new thing happening with meat being cloned. You might be wondering, "Connor, is this safe? Is this 'cloned meat' okay for me?" the FDA has approved cloned meat, yes it is okay to eat. Now you most likely have not and won't sink your teeth into a piece of cooked clone meat because it's not allowed in the industry... yet. Now I say "most likely" because there are always cheaters in the world. Another reason cloned meat hasn't showed up is because most clones have birth defects. Once clones come out with little to no birth defects and the FDA finishes the report on cloned meat you may be able to find some cloned meat at your local grocery store or butcher.
Feel free to post comments on the subject, I'm interested to see what people think about this.
