Pic Unrelated.
Today’s morning link revolves around a topic that I’d like to someday cover regarding the conundrum I have multiple times: Whether to rewatch an classic vs. experience something new. There are obviously pros and cons to both. Den of Geek has graciously outlined the argument with a redeemer that there is no right answer.

It’s no where near Christmas, but I’ve been holding this Matt Damon clip of him supporting water preservation. He’s always been known as a staunch liberal, and if it means he does these hilarious clips where he interacts with kids, I’m all for it.
“Who is Matt David?”

Ominous text to a degree...let's roll with it.
Well folks, it was bound to happen eventually. Here’s my coverage of this week’s Game of the Week: Starcraft 2. Heeded as one of the greatest real time strategy games of all time, following predecessors such as Warcraft, Starcraft and Red Alert, Starcraft 2 has improved upon the already complex system of the original. Before I move further with this article, however, allow me to preface it by saying that it has been a while since I’ve played, and I may or may not murder character names…that is all. With an abundance of troops, an interesting storyline, and a major graphic overhaul, Starcraft 2 is definitely a fun game to get into, but I suggest looking elsewhere if you aren’t into it for the multiplayer. While the story is set up well enough, the true playability of this game comes from clicking that ‘find match’ button and improving your micro/macro and overall strategy. I myself was guilty of that initially, but came to embrace (and fear) playing against others to see where I ranked against the rest of the world. Continue Reading »

In this rather enlightening article, we discover why it is that EA and Activision (among other companies) have decided that they will churn out half-assed games with downloadable content as an already pre-established medium. We have seen the decline in quality for the past decade, with game rising in price by what appears to be a meager 10$ at face value. However, this in turn has had a profound effect on the way gamers view their games nowadays. I cannot begin to sum up why games are heading in the wrong direction with ‘planned DLC’ for games that have yet to launch, so I’ll leave it to WIRED journalist Chris Kohler to lay down the facts and explain what’s wrong with the industry today.

Some Easter eggs will never be discovered unless revealed by Director Commentary or a film psychopath systematically breaks down every scene he watches and compiles the picture above which features the infamous YO Pizza Planet Truck from the first Toy Story in near every Pixar movie. Cracked [of course] has compiled 6 other amazing Easter Eggs that will seriously blow your mind out of your face if you’re not prepared.

As much as I would love to credit an artist, I’m compelled to say that this was created from the vast depth of what is ‘Anon’. Regardless of who made it [definitely not me], it’s hilarious how coincidental this is. There are definite lines between the Dreamworks creative team and the Pixar creative team. While both have their merits, it’s clear which one has a more distinct style when it comes to story. And the whole animal giving the raised eyebrow treatment doesn’t really help their cause. Maybe that’s why Pixar outnumbers Dreamworks Animation in Best Animated Picture by like kajillion to one. Somebody dig up the actual number, I think it’d be fairly interesting.

This is a hilarious meme that came from an image of Oscar winner Jean Dujardin sleeping on George Clooney. Now people are pasting this image on all sorts of unnecessary stuff further supporting, ‘the internet does things for no apparent reason’. I love Dujardin and all his charm and I probably wouldn’t be far off if he enjoyed these as much as I did . Check the tumblr dedicated to this here. I’ve compiles some favorites below.

There are many great moments in movies where a speech is given to rally the troops right before an impending attack or an aggressive attack. These are absolutely necessary for the soldier to not lose heart in the face of battle because discipline out-wins numbers or size 9 times out of 10. So it lies on the speaker’s voice and words to influence a man to either stand and fight or run away like a coward. Here are six speeches that would make me stand and fight for anyone for anything.

W. Rowntree and Cracked.com has once again come up with this amazing webcomic about the absurdity behind superhero reboots. I love the justification descriptions behind each one and they truly represent how ridiculous reboots and revamps are becoming. That being said, the new Spiderman is completely unnecessary and the only reason I might see it is because Emma Stone is A-Mah-Zing.

What happens when you’re an adult over analyzes a childhood show? Well it seems that a psychologist took another look at the Poo Bear Crew and diagnosed them with very reasonable mental illnesses. Some are more obvious like Eeyore’s depression. But the rest of them are fairly crazy, if even a stretch. Decide for yourselves.

Hooray!
Alright, so as you may or may not be aware, Nintendo has recently announced that they will indeed be previewing or at least discussing a Pikmin game for the Wii-U or Wii, we aren’t sure which. Pikmin, a well received game for the gamecube, along with Pikmin 2, it’s successor, are two of the best-selling games on the console with their addictive gameplay and light-hearted adventure storyline. Previously, you controlled Captain Olimar as he crash lands and later explores an alien world filled with what seem to be gigantic pieces of trash scattered about everywhere. Along his journey, he discovers the Pikmin (and their predators) and befriends them, getting them to help him rebuild his rocket and get himself back home. In the sequel, you join Captain Olimar once more, this time joined by his sidekick Louie as they return to the Pikmin world and reunite with their companions. Hopefully the third game of the series will have just as much promise and fun-filled escapades as its predecessors, but only time will tell.

Reading the book, I seriously thought nothing would surprise me when it comes to this season of Game of Thrones. I know all the plot twists, character actions, and stories, but last night literally had my hand over my face in shock and awe. Game of Thrones continues to smash down TV etiquette barriers with some of the most grotesque and explicit material I’ve ever seen on TV. Ranging from S&M to live births, things don’t get more crazy than last night. Oh wait, they actually do. With last episode, I’m sure we won’t stop hearing the end to how Game of Thrones has hit the fan, simply because it’s oh so delicious to talk about.
Overall, I feel as though the set up episodes have finally met their end, as characters are finally hitting the high points and settings of where their character climaxes will take place. Everyone is positioned to where they’re supposed to be where some of the most exciting stuff will likely to begin. Last week, we didn’t really get a glance at Dany and her dragons, and it seems the season is continuing the trend of leaving out major characters in favor of prolonging screen time to certain others. It wouldn’t surprise me if we didn’t get a look at Dany, Catelyn or Robb, in favor for Theon, Bran, or Jon who were absent this episode. So let’s dive into what may be Game of Thrones most controversial episode yet.
As usual spoilers only pertain to the episodes released so far.

They look to be having fun...at the expense of who?
When we play through our various collections of video games, saving the world or racing against friends, we usually do it without thinking about what goes on behind the scenes. Who fixes Mario’s kart, or anyone’s kart for that matter, when they crash into the water or get hit off the course by a shell or other forms of trickery and sometimes douchebaggery (here’s to you, Blue Shell, bane of my existence). What about Link’s neighbors, always being woken up by his terrifying battle screams (NYA! HYA! HAAAAAAA!) in the middle of the night with no explanations, and do those item chest noises always have to be so loud? (DA NA NA NAAAAAAA!). After reading through this article, I assure you that you may have a different take on your favorite video game characters and how they treat those around them. To be fair, most of them already treated everyone else around them like a sack of dung.

This is the video of an alternative fan made trailer of Mass Effect 3 that incorporates more in-game graphics than the movie production values of the original trailer. This trailer gives you all the goosebumps you want.

You'll have to go to the site for a better sneak peek 🙂
Now, I know this isn’t really video game related, but I just wanted to share this comic. The brainchild of Jeph Jacques, Questionable Content has a special place in my heart as it is one of the first webcomics I started reading. Essentially, anything Jeph linked to our tweeted about I would also pick up, thus expanding my repertoire. This isn’t about me, however, this is about the awesome webcomic series known as QC. Centered around a group of very different people spanning from Marten, the shy indie boy to Hannelore, the crazy OCD friend, this strip is generally very lighthearted. Additionally, while I won’t go so far as to say it exists to teach you lessons, I must say that it does a very good job of explaining situations and resolving them in a way that seems realistic and rather interesting. With wacky cartoon antics aplenty there is much enjoyment to be had by reading through this series, if not anything else similar to it. I do recommend starting at the beginning so as to familiarize yourself with the cast and setting, then enjoying the crazy (and sometimes disturbing) pranks played by Pintsize, Marten’s pet…Anthro-PC.

When I read this list I was a little bit confused as to how these authors could judge movies so far ahead, but the article actually aims at movies released in 2012 that would be in competition with each other.
