End Of The World This Sunday… Yes… Again…

So according to this Express.Co.Uk article, the world is supposed to end on June 24. Because we’ve all heard this crap before. Then again, this same article claims that a mythical being was supposed to show up on April 23rd and I’ve heard nothing regarding any sort of alien creature appearing in the skies.

Who knows? Maybe June 24th is the day Thanos collects all the Infinity Gems/Stones/Whatevers and uses them to wipe out half of all life in the universe or something.

So is it worth making a silly video out of this whole mess?

Probably not.

Ataribox After-Action Report: Atari Strikes Back At THE REGISTER!

Update: And now NintendoLife, a UK-based Nintendo news fansite, has picked up on the story.

Satirical news site The Register had posted a couple hilarious yet revealing articles in regards to the Ataribox device that people are apparently raving over. Well, this didn’t sit well with Atari, who accused those dastardly Brits of publishing FAKE NEWS!

The Register shot back by releasing the audio interview they did with Ataribox cheif Michael Artz and well… I haven’t heard it yet, but I’m assuming they’re on the up and up and Atari is just being flaky at this point.

Look, whatever thoughts I have on this thing will be somewhat expressed on the House Show this weekend. In the meantime, however, your lovely Ataribox campaign has thus far amassed a grand total of $2,922,310 as of three minutes ago.

I would like to remind folks that the Ouya collected $8.5 million in their campaign.

Just a thought.

New Headset: The DS502

Recently ordered this headset off Amazon after Rich The ReviewTechUSA Guy did a couple videos with these and they sounded wonderful. This might not be my go-to headset for everyday purposes that I do on the computer front, but they might serve me well on the video or possible audio front.

Will do a couple quick tests before I head off, but I might record a full House show later tonight. We’ll see how this goes.

Sting To Write Forward To Hellblazer: 30th Anniversary Collection

Legendary musician and former frontman of The Police STING will be writing the forward to the upcoming Hellblazer: 30th Anniversary Collection from DC Comics. Sting served as the inspiration for the visual look of the John Constantine character, so it seems somewhat appropriate that the man himself should have a hand in the celebration.

And this is where Joe Jabroni Wrestling Fan jumps in and asks when he’s going to face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

Last Sunday Really Pissed Me Off

Well, no, not really… had a wonderful Sunday.

For those who are wondering – that would be about three of you – I haven’t seen the PPV beyond a couple matches that happened to be on as background noise during the week. The matches turned out to be the Daniel Bryan Danielson vs. Consensual Penis/Big Cass and later on, the Ronda match, where Jonathan Coachman said the stupidest line on commentary that prompted the Quotable reaction that was posted a couple days ago. Anything I know about Asuka being turned into Just Another Geek, I’ve seen via online clips.

I’m not planning a write-up on the show nor do I plan on sitting down and watching it; the show’s simply too damn long and there wasn’t much to look forward to. I will say that of the two matches I’ve seen, it was… fine. Bryan’s match with Big Cass was better than their previous outing, but nothing to write home about. And as far as Rousey is concerned, I thought her match with Nia Jax was fine. I’m not the biggest Rousey fan in the world and didn’t care for her UFC stuff or her bored expressions that people are passing off as “death glares” or whatever, but from what I’ve seen, she’s made the transition rather nicely and, provided the booking doesn’t go to shit, she might actually do well in WWE.

Let’s just hope she doesn’t become the next Roman Reigns.

So while that show was taking place on Sunday, I was playing an old NES game called Faria, which is a hybrid role-playing game combined with Zelda-style overhead action bits. It’s a slow start and for anyone who wants to complain about how Dragon Warrior I has long grind sessions, play this game, where virtually every enemy you kill is worth one point. This may change as the game progresses, but still… bah.

The planned thing that I have on Friday that would’ve been used for a Power Rangers Reflections Redux is on hold for now… on the bright side, I can push BACK the PRRR and it’ll be featured this coming Friday. It’s not as wholesome as other entries as it covers a gimmick episode, but it is a new entry, for whatever that’s worth.

Once I get back from real life stuff, I’ll be testing out the new headsets by recording a quick House Show. I did some quick recordings here and there beforehand and things sound rather promising once all the drivers and set-up doohickies were set-up. This isn’t going to replace the Yeti when it comes to the heavy stuff like reviews and stuff, but it could be work with commentaries, house shows, and possibly even a certain audio program that has been long dormant.

Fingers crossed.
