Critical Hit - WALL-E (the movie)

June 30, 2008 By: GrandMaster Category: General, Movie Talk

Well Pixar does it again. Stand back Disney, we all know you can’t do CGI brilliance  WALLEwithout them.

I was intrigued by this movie when I first hear about it, like two years ago (Gotta love those early plugs for movies that won’t come out for another couple of years) because of the premise of this movie. A clean up robot left on Earth to help clean up while the Humans take a joy ride and wait for him to finish. Well, actually a fleet of Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth (Class) robots.

My intrigue was correct. The first bit of the film was fun to watch as Wall E cruises around, making trash skyscrapers made of small cubes. Hey, after 700 years, he’d have a few. This robot collects some fun trinkets though.

Critical Hit - Wanted

June 30, 2008 By: GrandMaster Category: General, Movie Talk

Wantedmovie.jpgThis is a mature film about a guy who lives in misery of a 9 to 5 office job (like most of us poor souls) but then finds his way into a new world of villainy and assassination. The movie is based off of a mature comic book series but only very loosely. The story is changed pretty drastically. I don’t think most audiences would like a straight adaptation of the comic books. Wanted wins for changing stuff around in my book. Why? Keep reading to find out.

DotA Gigs and Tournaments… Which one to choose?

June 30, 2008 By: Lynder Category: PC

The game of Defense of the Ancients, or DOTA as it is fondly called, has been a hit ever since it has beenxblogx-sysonlinecom21.jpg launched a few years ago. Up until this year, more players are being drawn to this game that may be played thru a Local Area Network or thru a GG client or the internet. Meanwhile, old players are thinking up of new ways to dominate the game and amazing hero builds that are either for farming, harassing the enemy heroes, or for destroying as much towers as possible. Because of these, tournaments are being held not only officially but there are websites that offer to host these mini tournaments. And if being a recognized player isn’t merely enough, cash prizes that start at 35 US dollars are being offered as prize money.

Scheduled before the beginning of the Command and Conquer 3: Kanes Wrath ladder season is the long awaited and long deserved patch 1.01. While Electronic Art’s community manager APOC has given a list of changes as well as a list of delays the much needed patch could very well be in the hands of the players by this coming Monday. The ladder season will also officially start Monday June 1st which leaves little time to get accustomed to the patch for players. Regardless, excitement levels are high for Kanes Wrath players as EA tries to fine tune their game and continue their hold on the competitive gaming scene. Discuss this article!

Critical Hit - Get Smart

June 23, 2008 By: GrandMaster Category: General, Movie Talk

Welcome to the Get Smart edition of the Critical Hit

First, props to “Agent” Peter Segal (Director) for getting smart and making this film Get Smart Movie Postercorrectly! I walked into this film with some misconceptions that I had heard. I’m glad this happened because I was met with a pleasant surprise! First off, Segal did a great job. Never heard of him? Maybe you’ve seen these movies that he’s done. The Longest Yard, 50 First Dates and Tommy Boy just to name a few.

On with the acting! Steve Carell is hit or miss with me. He’s either so over the top that it’s not funny or he’s brilliant. In Get Smart, he was brilliant. Maxwell Smart was not portrayed as Don Adams did but it was similar. Similar yet different if you know what I mean. I enjoyed it. Carell was hilarious. The small, intricate details that he did when not talking was what sold me. I laughed a ton!
