VLOG – Suburban Knights… the new TGWTG project…

In case the video doesn’t load or you just want to read, the text is after the break.


So I just recently saw the teaser for the 3rd Anniversary Project of the That Guy With The Glasses website, which is apparently called Suburban Knights, and apparently from the gist of it, they’re on a quest and they’re wearing costumes… you don’t get to see a whole lot, but… yeah.

You know, just watching the teaser alone, I have a feeling that this is going to be on par with Kickassia as far as the overall quality goes and anyone who has read or watched my little review of Kickassia will know that this is not a good thing. With that having been said, however, I am actually cautiously curious to see how this one turns out… maybe this one will actually be good, for once… or maybe this will turn out to be a steaming pile of paper… who knows until the final product comes out?

All I know that I’m coming into this with very low expectations… that is, I’m willing to give a chance to entertain me and validate investing my time watching this project, but I am not going to buy into the hype or hold it in high regard. I think that was my mistake with Kickassia – I was expecting something amazing and ended up with paper… by the way, you can substitute paper with your expletive of choice… and yet the first anniversary project, which involved a bunch of people playfighting, was much more entertaining to me because I had no real expectations. It wasn’t any good, but it was pure stupid fun. And that’s what I liked.

So Suburban Knights… when it comes out… I will most definitely be watching, but I will coming in expecting this to be fall apart… I’m not saying it will, I’m not saying it won’t, I’m not saying anything that implies that I’m going to like or dislike this movie before I even watch it. I’m just saying that I have very low expectations as to how this turns out, which means if I get at least ONE good laugh out of this for the right reason or maybe even the wrong reason – because that certainly wasn’t the case with Kickassia – then it’s a step up from my vantage point.

So, Doug Walker and all you folks at TGWTG… please don’t fuck this up. It’s all I ask.

VLOG – Remembering The Macho Man

I was just getting back from personal business when I got the news that Randy Savage had died. It was a shock to hear about that. And perhaps, it’s one that hurts quite a bit… because this was not just a moderately successful superstar wrestler nor is he someone dabbled in the main event scene. This is a legend… one of the true greats in professional wrestling. Someone who was as close to being the Total Package as you can get when it comes to that form of sports entertainment. He had the look, he had the voice, he had the moves, and most importantly, he had the charisma and the personality that really made him stand out and made people take notice… and clearly, a lot of people took notice for him to have gotten the name recognition that he did… and deservingly so.

Whether it was his classic matches or his classic insane rambling promos that half the time we didn’t understand what he was saying but who cares because this guy’s cool… or whether it was his classic Slim Jim commercials that actually got me to try out Slim Jims for the first and possibly last time… or his three-minute-cameo in the first Spider-Man movie nine years ago… or hell, even his rap album that he tossed out around the same time… it was one of those cases where no matter how good or how bad the final product turned out, you couldn’t help but feel that he gave it his all and that he gave it his best shot… and I think that effort and that passion showed in a lot of the stuff he did. For the most part, his stuff never felt phoned in… even during recent years when he was showing off his new action figure at the Comicon or cutting a promo for the WWE All-Stars game.

This is a man who deserved to be in that Hall of Fame of theirs… and the only sad thing is that he never got that chance due to whatever petty politics that held off such a thing.

Thanks for the memories, “Macho Man” Randy Savage. You shall be missed.

Can I get a “Oooooooo Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!”

VLOG – The Apocalypse Is Coming… I Guess…


According to Google, people are predicting that the world will end on May 21, 2011… Indeed…

Conveniently, it lands on a Saturday. Nice.

Assuming I’m still alive past that point, I will have 24-hour-long coverage and compile it in a blog post… or video log… or something…

So… yeah.

Wonderful weather we’re having here…

VLOG – So A Couple Days Ago… I Picked Up Final Fantasy IV for PSP

To celebrate the occasion, I show off some packaging… and attempt to open a pack of cards…

NOTE: Video was rendered on April 30th… but I’m only posting it now because I forgot about it… Oops.

Will post a follow-up impressions video that I was filming footage for just now.
