Normally, there’d be a review, but since it’s the fourth of July and we’re in a trade war with our neighbors down south, I’m civically and dutifully obligated to refuse to post content on this blog… so the above is all you’re getting today.
Stop making America shit and then we’ll talk.
Or wait until tomorrow, where it’ll be business as usual and I’ll go back to loving you all.
Until then, go fuck yourselves.
Later.
So I’m visiting this entertainment website whose name I shall not reveal, but they generally… occasionally well, okay, I mostly visit for the luls. But what doesn’t bring me the LULZ is that whenever they discuss comics, they will often copy and paste bits and pieces of a source article and then proceed to write a nine-hundred page editorial expressing their opinions on this thing. More often than not, it’s the same tired rhetoric about [insert film brand here], [insert comic company there], or anything involving the ol’ webhead.
Anyone remember the days when news articles mostly gave you the news and that’s it? If you wanted an opinion on something, you’d read an editorial or commentary piece. And these things would give you something to think about, but hopefully not give you something to parrot like a lemming. Now it’s like “Hey, so-so is doing this. What’s going on?” and then you click on the article to get about fifty words worth of news and the rest of the eight-hundred and fifty words is dedicated to why so-so sucks or is an insult to one’s intelligence. You know what’s insulting my intelligence? Trying to pass yourselves off as a news site when all you’re doing is copying and pasting other people’s words before tossing in your own half-baked opinions and rhetorics that I’m pretty sure was copied and pasted from whatever backlog of opinions you have on hand to reuse and regurgitate whenever you have the chance. Dreadful.
Just so that we’re clear on things, dtm666.com is not a news site. This is a blog where I post stuff of interest and then I talk about it. None of this stuff is ever passed for news (I’ll source you the original article, so you can read for yourself) and virtually everything is an opinion piece of some sort. If you’re going to an entertainment news site or something that claims to be that, you just want to read the news and not a five-thousand word opinion piece on something that should have taken less than 500 words tops to report.
If you want to write an opinion piece, write a fucking column. Otherwise, just report the news and fuck off, will you?
Belated happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians… and since I am indeed Canadian, I am legally and culturally obligated to inform my neighbours down south that they can go [REDACTED.] Except for you. You know who you are.
Anyway, here’s the slightly belated State Of The Blog for July.
They made a sequel to the rip-off game…
So we’re going to do something special this month?
Yes, I’ve already did musings on all these shows. Hell, I did musings for both this and Road Wild ’97 roughly THREE YEARS AGO and honestly, there’s not much that I could add in terms of context. However, I haven’t seen Road Wild 98 (the one with Jay “Big Jaw” Leno) in a decade and Road Wild 99 was last touched on in 2018… so I figured, why not give these things another watch with a fresh set of eyes.
So yes, the first event was called Hog Wild, but licensing concerns with the Harley Davison group prompted the next event to be called Road Wild. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the poster/VHS cover for this show, which prominently featured a red-and-yellow clad Hulkster flexing on his bike – something that would be a stark contrast to how Hogan would appear in this show.
To “celebrate” Canada Day this year, I present to you all of my B-roll footage of the horrible hunting game that bares this nation’s name: Canada Hunt. This video showcases the Wii version; there is also a PC version. This footage was originally recorded in 2012, which is when I reviewed both versions of Canada Hunt. The PC version was the subject of my 100th video review.
On a side note, I’ve updated the old reviews of this game (on both PC and Wii) with new edits and replaced the embeds. You can check those out by clicking below.
Review #100 – Canada Hunt (PC)
Review #124 – Canada Hunt (Wii)
It’s Bryan Alvarez’s favorite video game… oh, wait wrong, one.
Some say that Barbie is still waiting for those spinach from Michell
The Tetris Pocket Player mentioned in the last video… yeah, I found one of those. Hope it’s better than the arcade thing.
Karate Kid: Legends is a movie that came out of nowhere.
Not necessarily in the sense that nobody saw it coming because we’ve already had a couple trailers for it and I’ve even commented on the film a couple times… but rather in the sense that a couple weeks ago, a buddy invited me to join them and some pals to watch the new Karate Kid movie and my immediate reaction was “What new Karate Kid movie?”
Yes, despite having made a mention of this thing once or twice on this blog, the news that this movie was out in theaters threw me by surprise. Regardless, though, I said sure. They were kind enough to pay for all the tickets while I offered some drinks from the concessions which may have cost more than the tickets, but I digress. So after having seen this movie, what were my initial impressions of Karate Kid Legends?
