A bunch of stuff that we’re getting into with this one, so might as well get it over with.
First off, since it’s being brought up elsewhere, I might as well bring it up here:
“George Takei, 68, who was part of the Starship Enterprise crew through three television seasons and six movies, came out as a homosexual in the current issue of Frontiers, a biweekly Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community, according to The Associated Press. He and his partner, Brad Altman, have been together for 18 years, the story said.”
So yes, kids. Sulu has come out. Congratulations, man. Meanwhile, the sky is blue, the leaves are falling, and nothing interesting happened in the interim.
In other news, according to media news site insidepulse, Jay Reso had apparently opted not to resign a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. In essence, he quit the company.
It’s hard to tell whether this is legit or not. While some “insiders” have confirm this to be true, WWE is making better use of its Internet resources that this could be a well-planned “news” piece. If it is indeed a “shoot” as speculated, then all I have to say is that WWE had the chance to push a talented performer to main-event status and choose for whatever reason not to do so.
So good luck, Jay.
Earlier today, I had posted some of my votes and predictions for tomorrow’s WWE pay-per-view. That was all there was going to be and I would come back Wednesday and post the results. I come back from classes, go to insidepulse to check out what I missed on RAW and what do I get? The following crap:
– Steve Austin is gone from the card, apparently having changed to Dave Batista (a Smackdown guy and World champ) versus The Coach. Reason being that Austin doesn’t want to lose to Coach, which was in the script. Let’s not forget that Austin wasn’t signed to wrestle, he was signed to do movies for the film division. So nyah.
– Oh yeah, JR is still fired.
– Rob Conway is joined by Tyson Tomko and will face Eugene and a chosen legend.
– Torrie Wilson? Gone-o.
Some other stupid shit happens. Who cares? This is all sad. I leave for a few hours and the whole PPV falls apart? Amazing…
When a wrestling company introduces midgets as part of their program, you know that can’t be anything but a good thing. I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the midgets. I have nothing against these guys, but their style of wrestling has never appealed to me nor has the funny costumes and childish demeanors.
Having said all that, I have no clue as to why this was introduced as a part of Smackdown. Are they really trying to kill my interest in wrestling by having midgets on SD and McMahons on RAW? Can’t we live in a perfect world where a wrestling company ditches the old news and dumbass gimmicks (that rarely work and the ones that do is only because the guy can play the part to a hilt) and sticks with putting out a quality wrestling product? Or is it too much to ask?
Never mind. It’s early in da mornin’.
So I’m reading an issue of Superman (I think it was 222 or something) and I’ve realized that Superman isn’t even in the book for more than a few pages… it was one of his friggin’ robots. You know, I thought the Crisis on Inifinite Earths was supposed to fix up all these stupidity gimmicks. But I guess that’s why we have the Infinite Crisis, which is supposed to have MAJOR repurcussions (SP). Or at least until they come out with Not-Finite Crisis in ten to fifteen years.
Those wacky folks at DC sure loves them Crises.
So this past week, I picked up a copy of Doom 3 Collector’s Edition for about thirty bucks Canadian. This should translate to about $20-25 US. Although I haven’t played the main game, I’m having a ball playing old-school Doom and checking out the interviews and stuff. Now I know that some people are going to be complaining that the next Doom 3 would have been a better deal, since that game includes the Master Levels. (2010 Update: I eventually got that one, but kept the tin can version because hey, it’s rare I come across Collectors’ Edition anything that come in a tin can!)
Well, all I’m going to say is… where are the little humorous messages that Doom taunts you with everytime you want to quit the game. Now all it gives you is a general “Are You Sure?” Now that I think about it, the same thing was done for the emulated version of Wolf-3D that was included as a hidden feature in Return to Wolfenstein. Have these classics been tamed?
According to the site ClassicDoom.com, a few hardcore Doomers are looking for the original PC WAD file of Betray, the extra Doom 2 level that was added into the game featured in the Limited Collector’s version of Doom3 on X-Box.
Now I’ve found the Sewers WAD that was the basis for the extra Ultimate Doom level, but I haven’t seen the other one either. Could it be under a different name? Who knows?
On a side note, I’ve read an advance review on the upcoming Doom movie and… let’s just say things weren’t very flattering. And suddenly, my low expectations for this film has already dropped even further. Thanks, Rock.
Anyway… that is all. Good night.
