I know I know

Another video game post. But this one I'm putting up here because I find the art design absolutely fantastic. So this is more hoity toity artiste bullshit than a full blown nerdism. I wish that sometimes game developers took more risks with their designs but I can't really expect mainstream developers to do that. This is why I feel the indie scene is so vital and is probably where the really cool shit will come from (similar to how indie movies gave a huge creativity boost to movies in general and pushed envelopes the big studios would have never touched).

And of course...

Another fucking video game post...

Yar!

There be an exhibit going on at the Old Port. It's all about pirates (and I don't mean the high-budget porn movie). Anyways, it looks cool and when I saw the poster, the first thing I thought was that it should have been held at the 19.



Oh well... I guess Musée Pointe-à-Callière will have to do. Here's the description of the exhibit: Yarrrrr!!!!

Who's in!?!?!?

Aurions pas fait ça d'Même moé

Dear Moc,
while I appreciate your nerditude, I should like to mention that if you're gonna post some L4D 2 gameplay over here in our beloved 19, instead of choosing the weird Generator in a Pool puzzle, shouldn't you be opting for the Dismembering Zombies With an Axe sweetness of the game?

Dear Herzog

While I appreciate your calls a 2:30 AM I should mention that the reason I wasn't wherever you seemed to be at 2:30 AM playing L4D is because nobody called or otherwise notified me about any such event.
However, if you have steam now I will be more than happy to bust some Zombie heads with you whenever you'd like. You can find my user ID by using my shitty email address ismokecrack@yahoo.com

Also I have my copy of L4D2 preordered and ready to go.

Losing My Virginity

I'm going to see my first Metallica concert at 31 years old. Not only that, I'm going to see them in Ottawa.



I can't wait to see THAT crowd! Oh... and to all the suckers who saw them at the Centre Bell, I'll do my best to enjoy the sound for you.

Keeping with the metal theme

I had seen this documentary years ago and I just stumbled upon it today while taking a break.

Part 1 is here, you can follow it for the other parts. It's good for people like me who don't know enough about the genre.
