 As somebody who has had ADD their entire life (most of it I never knew it) this post is rather interesting to me.

Tech wants

I really want the log speakers. Not sure why since I don't even own an Ipod but it would just be awesome to listen to music from a dead tree.

Skyrim

So the new Elder Scrolls game Skyrim is released in a couple of days. Will have a full review for you around the end of the weekend once I start playing it. Expecting it to be similar to all the other Bethesda games. Amazingly fun and completely full of bugs.

Spee-iders

I for one welcome our future robot masters.

I'm back.

Took some time away from blogging. Gonna be coming back with a vengeance though. Lets start things off right. So Richard Garriott, the creator of the Ultima series of games is putting one of his homes up for sale. It's pretty much a gamer geeks wet dream.

Woot

Finally got my camera figured out for uploading pictures. Hadn't really been a priority until lately. Still want to get a nice digital camera soon though. Once I do will have to find a really good place to store thousands of photos online because I plan on using it a lot.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is a rather unique movie based on a comic book series. The film is a wonderful flick filled with candy violence, music, and campiness to an infinite degree which in the end turns out to be a wonderful collage of enjoyment.

It is a train ride through the love life on one canadian by the name of Scott Pilgrim who meets the girl of his dreams. He is not informed though that she has an entire league of ex's that wish to control her love life. Fortunately for Scott Pilgrim though he seems to have the ability to do kung fu and battle in a world of video games.

Yes, I said video games.

As he goes through winning the heart of this young lady he duels the seven evil ex's to the death which turns into video game style fights. The fights contain anime style running at the speed of mach 3, leaping through the air like humming birds, and when the evil ex is defeated they actually give him points and turn into a shower of coins. Despite how totally ridiculous it may sound the movie was only truly enjoyable because of the over the big top silliness.

It is never explained why everything is treated as if though it is a video game and I truthfully don’t care. It requires no explanation. When you have a veagan with mind control powers, ear blowing bass rock offs, and giant gorillas fighting kung fu dragons you don’t want realism to get in the way of it.

This is truly a rare movie that cannot be properly explained and if you’re not a huge video game geek you may not enjoy it. I for one though quite enjoyed it once the movie got going. It may have started a bit slow but with the first girlfriend by the name of Knives and the gay roomie who manages to turn a good portion of the males in the movie into raging homosexuals the movie gets into a rip roaring mood that only continues to speed up until the crescendo that is the fight between Scott Pilgrim and the last evil ex.

Thus far this is the best film I’ve seen this year and I highly recommend it for any true geek. Until next time, whateve’s.
