Wow.

Oh wow. Well, the latest Star Wars installment is out, and I have to admit that I'm a bit excited about it. So, my buddy Pat who happens to be a huge Star Wars fan comes in to the office today gushing about the movie and mentions something about this "Lucas-authorized fan film" called "Star Wars: Revelations" that is supposed to cover events between this latest installment and Episode IV. Now, I've seen my share of Star Wars fan films...Most of the ones I've seen (enjoyed, even) were low budget, 5-10 minute Star Wars-based comedies; good stuff. With this past experience viewing Star Wars fan flicks, I was pretty optimistic about this one; who knows, Star Wars otaku can be funny, maybe they can act, too. NOPE. Go download this thing if you want to see some great graphics completely wasted on THE WORST acting EVER (go here: http://panicstruckpro.com/). The computer generated graphics are actually quite well done, but all the work and money put into that aspect of the film was for naught when paired with the "talent"'s piddley-ass excuse for acting. I really can't comment on it much further than that...it seriously is just horrible. Think a bunch of Star Wars geeks running around in costumes with Mariah Carey-calibur acting and dialogue in league with the likes of my dog's ass. Go download it if you want to laugh, shake your head, and then cry for wasting your time. These guys are so talented that on the main page of their webpage, THEY MISSPELLED THEIR OWN NAME. Amazing.

On a side note, it appears that Microsoft is working hard as ever getting the new Xbox 360 ready...not. Apparently they were showing demos at E3 supposedly running off the new system when in fact they were running from two Apple G5s. Good job MS. See Gizmodo for more on this and some pics:

Want to be my friend? Meet these simple requirements and you can be!

Ok, I've been catching a good amount of flak lately from people about my personality. It's Tuesday night during finals week, I don't have another final till Friday, and I'm bored as hell, so I decided to go ahead and write a post about this topic. So, here are some things that you need to realize/consider if you wish to maintain friendship with me (and since I'm so awesome, I'm sure you'll all be taking notes while reading this).

1- Have a sense of humor.
If you take serious offense to any of the posts I've made on this blog, then you might as well file a friendship with me away under "Nevergonnafuckinghappen". I don't expect everyone to laugh maniacally at all of my jokes, but I abhor people that take themselves and stuff in general too seriously. And don't even step to me with all that politically correct bullshit or I will strike you dead on the spot without hesitation.

2- Don't be stupid.
I hate stupid people. This is self explanatory; if you're sitting there right now wondering if you're stupid or not, then you probably are.

3- Drama=fuck off.
I hate drama, especially stupid bullshit drama. So don't do it. Or else.

4- Don't bitch.
Now, I can be a pretty nice guy. I have been known to talk to people for hours about serious problems in their lives, and I've been told on numerous occassions that I'm a good listener. That being said, quit your bitching. I don't want to hear, 24/7, all of your trivial bullshit. This goes double, no triple, no INFINITY times, if you complain about the same thing everyday all day for an extended period of time. This goes hand in hand with...

5- Don't be immature.
I hate immature people almost as much as stupid people.

In summation, don't suck. That's about it I guess...there are other factors of course, but these are the main ones most of the time. If you don't meet the qualifications outlined here, then I guess we can't be friends. Sorry (but not really).

Yoroshiku. ^_^
