Transformers

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Well everyone is excited about the upcoming release of the second installment in the Transformers saga. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is set to be in theaters June 24th and audiences across the globe may be in for a real treat. Of course it may just turn out to be exactly like the first one, whereas mind-blowing special effects tore through the screen and left you wondering what the hell was really going on, while Chevy is using it as an excuse to shove their latest throwback down your throat.

I’ve been a fan of the Transformers cartoon and even grew up playing with the toys, but to be honest I was pretty let down when the first Transformers hit the screen in 2007. As far as I know the general consensus was that audiences loved the chaotic film that had such a large degree of bedlam and nearly made me nauseous on multiple accounts, they loved it so much that it raked in $319 million. Perhaps audiences had to go back a second and third time to really understand who was winning battle between machine and slightly scarier looking machine, a scene that has a lot in common with the day to day workings of a steel mill.               ———————————–>

Will I see the 2nd one? The answer is yes, it’s a win win, if it sucks then I get to make fun of something that my friends will most surely enjoy, and if it’s good well then I get to look forward for the 3rd one that’s already in development.

Diablo 3 vs Starcraft 2

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Blizzard has us all in anticipation regarding the release of two of it’s biggest games, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. Being a moderate gamer I’ve played Starcraft and the Diablo series and loved em both. To be honest the first game I can even remember playing was the original Diablo, I recall my friend using the dupe trick to generate a second set of armor to get me started, what a wonderful memory.

On one hand you have one of the most anticipated sequels in gaming history, Starcraft 2, and a totally revamped 3rd edition to complete the Diablo trilogy.

So the question is, which of the 2 games looks more exciting?

I know Starcraft has had a huge impact on gamers so it’s most likely that it will be more popular upon release, but to be honest it doesn’t look all that great, I mean what more can you do with RTS’s anyway?

Diablo 3 looks beautiful, for what I’ve seen they are completely retooling the game to make it even more enjoyable, yeah it will prolly turn out like the other 2 where you get to level 50 and realize that youre sick of doing the same thing over and over again, hey call me crazy but i kinda like it!

My Hookah

I’ve had my Khalil Mamoon hookah for almost a year and I love it! So far I’ve tried various flavors of tobacco from brands like Tangiers, Al Fakhar, and Starbuzz and was wondering what shisha flavors others would suggest and how you’d rank them.

Flavors I’ve tested:

Al Fakhar- Peach  8/10

Starbuzz- Sex on the beach 7/10

Starbuzz- Margarita 7/10

Tangiers- Schnozzberry 5/10

Tangiers- Brambleberry 5/10
