"Dead Rising"

Just picked up this game. Heck, just picked up an XBox360. Nice! After being a die hard PlayStation guy for a decade or so, my eyes have seen the light!

Now- this game is insane. As you all know, I love zombies. Can't get enough of em.
This game here, the premise is similar to "Dawn of the Dead", as it takes place in a mall, but you have 72 hours to investigate WHY this zombie plague is happening, and you also have to survive literally THOUSANDS of zombies at every turn.

You can venture into ANY store, and change your clothes, get food, use almost anything as a weapon (like throwing a 12-pack of pop cans at zombies...). My all time favourite weapon so far is the auger. Awesome.

I've only got like, 20 percent of the game done, but I can't get enough of it. I can't wait to see how it ends, and if there's gonna be a sequel.

My ONLY gripes with the game is the sub microscopic font designed for HD televisions (of which, I am bereft), and the friggin phone ringing every three seconds from the superintendant, alerting me to survivors.

I wish there was a "free play", where you could just go apeshit and destroy thousands of zombies, with little recourse.

What're your thoughts on this game? Any tips for a noob?

Ghostbusters 3 is now happening.....?

I dunno, the fanboy in me can't take much more of this. Either it's happening, and this is awesome news (makes up for the friggin game being delayed almost a YEAR), or it's happening, and this movie could go horribly sideways....

Read more about it here

That article was posted on Thursday....over the weekend, none other than Egon himself fired off an open letter to the Chicago Tribune, regarding the status of the third Ghostbusters installment, read on:

yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there.
best,
harold

Does this mean we'll see such Judd Apatow staples as Seth Rogan? Paul Rudd? Time will tell..

What do you think of a third Ghostbusters? Yay or nay?

Fan Expo '08

Well, the family went to the Big Toronto Fan Expo (read: ComicCon/Sci-Fi Con) and it was amazing, we havent been since 2001 when my oldest was merely 6 months old.
The only changes I really noticed were the gaming section and the lack of comics to buy. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of vendors, but nowhere near the amount that I remember from previous years.

My youngest, Ethan, had never been, so I imagine to a 5 year old, that was a LOT to take in, all the THOUSANDS of people walking around, and some of the costumes were incredible, right down to the finest detail, others were lame, but their hearts were in the right place.

I bought a whack of McFarlane Dragons figures, and a buncha comics. The kids got a bunch of Star Wars figures, and the wife bought a nice Hardcover book on the girls of DC Comics.

My buddy Rob came along, with his kids in tow, and we had an incredible time.

The Sci-Fi expo had their big name celebrites there, and I got to see:
Sean Astin, Edward James Olmos, Buzz Aldrin, Renee O'Connor (yowza), Kristy Swanson (yum!), Shawnee Smith (not too shabby), Laura Vandervoort (DROOL), Brent Spiner, Sid Haig, Wes Craven, Michael Rosenbaum, and Henry friggin Winkler.
I wasn't too concerned if I met them, it was just cool to see them in person, and thats okay with me.

I posted some pics on my FaceBook page, with more to come....

Drop a line!

I could watch this for days.......

..........and STILL laugh my ass off everytime. Kids gets owned by a swing. Enjoy.

Zombies III: Zombie harder

Well- according to my trusty counter, it seems that the zombies are popular, and that's what people are checkin out here.
What about the drawings? My....ramblings?
Ah well- feels like I'm talking to myself anyway.

In this latest installment, I'm gonna talk more about zombies, specifically in comics, where they've never been hotter.

I just finished up the latest "Walking Dead" trade, which is issue 48, and issue 50 just dropped, so I'm almost caught up. Wow. What an adventure this book has been, right from the get go. What I truly love about this book is that just when our characters are 'letting their guards down', BAM! some crazy zombie shit goes down.
I can't recommend this book enough.

Marvel Zombies II-

Well, lightning doesn't apparantly strike twice it seems. I was REALLY let down by this (obvious) hurried out sequel to the original smash mini. The story was incredibly weak, and as much as one can suspend their disbelief whilst reading comics, there was some.......weird......shit going down in this outing.
I dunno....some love it. The sales were definitely there, that's for sure, but as I said, it just wasnt "up to par" for me.

Marvel Zombies VS Army of Darkness-

This mini was awesome. Our boy Ash gets blasted into the 'zombie' world, and hilarity and a good amount of ass-kicking ensues.
Some hi-lites: Ash vs Howard the Duck
Ash and his comments to Dr. Doom.
The very last page of the last issue; brilliant!
The artwork was smooth and very clean in this mini.

I hear there's a Marvel Zombies III coming down the pike, but have not yet read a synopsis. Be curious to see how they pull this one off, given the events of Part II.

CrawlSpace: XXXombies-

70s porn. Zombies.
Nuff said.
Kieron Dwyer's art is PERFECT for this mini series, and Rick Remender needs help.
Be warned, however: nudity, "happy ending", dead babies, and disgusting sex acts all hide inside........(dont read this at work, okay?)

Drop me a line, lemme know how I'm doing!
