Movie Review – Iron Man 3 (2013)

Recently went to see the new Iron Man flick last night… to keep a long story short, I liked the flick and thought it was pretty decent for a mindless summer flick. Brother, on the other hand, was disappointed in it. And giving it a bit of thought, I understood (and partly) agreed with some views. But for the most part, I enjoyed the flick and I thought that, as a movie that not only follows up on the previous Iron Man film, but also as an immediate follow-up to that Avengers flick, it was a rather sound and decent film that no longer has the baggage of its predecessors to build to some movie several years down the line. Is it as good as previous films? Not really due to a couple minor bits here and there that take the film down a notch in my mind, but I still thought it was decent fair.

RAW (May 6th, 2013) – Meh…

How do you sell a PPV that one has no interest in watching?

– Have John Cena come out and call Skip Sheffield a coward and a whiner. Then have Skip declare the match to be a Last Man Standing match. Yeah, Skippy didn’t learn anything from Dave Batista’s own Last Man Standing match. That SO gets me to watch this PPV… not.

– Have Brock Lesnar show up at WWE HQ and trash the office of some guy named Paul Levesque (‘cuz it’s a shoot and all that) only to have HHH shrug the whole thing off mere minutes later. I SO want to get this PPV… not.

– Lame-Us and Mark Henry do a promo for their match or something… Unfortunately, I’m not that interested in the match-up. Not because of Mark, but because of Lame-Us.

Um… I got nothing else. Much to my surprise, they still haven’t fucked up The Shield… so that’s a good sign.

Headache…

Been stuck with a nasty headache over the past couple days. Can’t seem to get much work done in regards to various projects. So I’m probably going to be taking a quick time off to take care of this and other life issues I have to deal with at the moment. However, that doesn’t mean I won’t be uploading some stuff in either video or written form. I’m fine with reviews for the moment, I got a couple canned commentaries that should be up in a short while, there’s a couple playthroughs and vlog videos being put together… and there’s some random Iron Man 3 notes that I’m compiling together.

Headaches might even make for interesting videos. We’ll see-ish.

Quick Thoughts On The AVGN Episode With The Troma Guy

Reposting a comment I left elsewhere:

I’ll be honest here. The only thing I really enjoyed about this recent AVGN was Lloyd Kaufman, because, quite frankly, a seemingly unmotivated, disinterested, and misused Lloyd Kaufman ended up being a more engaging and entertaining character than the Nerd. In fact, I’d much rather see Lloyd Kaufman “review” video games than the Nerd, because he’s that much more interesting.

As for the video itself, I tried to think of a word to sum up my feelings, but the only one that comes to mind is MEH.

A Preview… If You Will…

(2019 Update: Originally took this down from the Tubes, but reuploaded onto Dailymotion.)

A sampler of some NES hack thing I’m putting together… available when it’s ready.

In the past, there were three types of hints. Obscure clues, false clues, and gibberish.

Now, there’s three types of people; folks who are willing to help, folks who will state obvious things you should know, and folks that hate your guts.

Welcome to Castlevania II: The Captain Obvious Edition, an NES hack that rewrites every single piece of dialogue in the game (and then some), designed to help you go in the right direction. Unfortunately, some innocent souls are a little annoyed by the constant bitching and complaining of various players that have transpired over the years, and will not hesitate in letting you know their true feelings. There’s a couple other changes here and there as well…

All of this is coming sooner or later… it all depends and stuff…
