Uwe Boll somehow got the rights to make a Metroid movie, and the fun doesn't stop there. Guess who they got to play Samus? Jessica Simpson. Yes, you did read that correctly. Jessica fucking Simpson.
This is fucking awesome. It's like some amazing level of performance art that we can't even begin to fathom.
The fail of my day is the recently released Doctor Who Adventure Game. First of all, you need to be behind a proxy just to install the damn thing. Second of all... The game is just horrible. The controls are really clunky and stupid and the "gameplay" is horrid (it's basically a little bit of lame "avoid the guards' gaze!" stealth, some running around, and some shitty minigames). I suppose there might be a really great story (which is considered canon, apparently) under all this mess, but I guess I'll never be able to see it because I got too frustrated with the whole thing. BBC told us that these games would "feel like a missing episode," but I think we'd all be better off without it.

Perhaps, like the Westboro Baptist Church, Uwe Boll is just a man who has transcended the level of "troll." His powers are supernatural.
What boggles my mind is how Boll is able to stay in the business when he gets so much backlash from both sides of the spectrum
There's apparently some law in Germany that provides a tax break to people who invest in German-made films. He keeps finding investors who effectively take a large tax write-off by investing in Boll's German-made films.

Also, I have a hard time deciding whether my stepfather has a midlife crisis or not. He bought a red convertible today. However, it's a Volkswagen Golf.
Okay, the Guitar Hero franchise is way beyond jumping the shark at this point: Guitar Hero 6 Guitar: It looks pretty stupid now, BUT WAIT: The sides detach and you can put on "axe blades." Yes, they literally made a guitar into an axe. I actually think that the whole "axe" thing is funny as a joke and as a weapon in some sort of metal fantasy story, but if there is not a practical use for it, why even bother?
Also, here is the controller trailer. Yes, they have a separate trailer just for the controller.
Not even the fact that Bohemian Rhapsody is in the game will make me touch it with a 10-foot cattle prod. Here's hoping that Rock Band 3 with it's inclusion of Keyboards will have Bohemian Rhapsody.
Hmmmm, Red Octane is producing really good plastic instruments, but that is just a crappy gimmick. Since I already have my guitar, it works and it feels good, I'm probably not going to buy it anyway, so the guitar is not really of any interest or has any influence on whether I buy the game or not. However, I am by far more interested in RB3 due to backwards compatibility with downloadable content which I expect from it and I doubt they have removed as it was a feature of RB2.
What is more interesting about this guitar is that it does not have the sliderbar from the GH:WT and GH5 guitar. Good sign because that was just plainly stupid and lead to even more overcharting, as if there wasn't enough of that already.
GH6 does however have a shitton of Metal on it. However, I doubt I'd pick it up on release as there is nothing that would make me buy it and I got enough comparable songs as RB DLC. I might pick it up for cheap some years later though.

Apparently this loop hole has been closed up. Which leaves me to question how he is still getting funding if the investors know the movie will flop. There must be other ways he's cheating the system.
Uwe Boll is one of the most self-deluded people on this planet. He so genuinely defends his movies that it's almost saddening. He'll probably die thinking he was a genius of film creation. Though, if he did make movies that would bust on purpose to exploit German loop holes, and kept up the face façade (I am sure I have heard facade used to mean keep up a false face, but dictionary searches only reveal it to mean the front face of a building...false memory?) over the years to remain genuine/avoid possible lawsuits/keep up publicity about himself, he is truly a genius. I would love it if in his retirement he published a tell all book of how he built an empire of failure. It would make an excellent movie. The irony would be beautiful.

I don't believe to the Uwe Boll making Metroid movie rumor. This is not a first time I've heard rumor like this, including Uwe Boll and game series, witch many people love.
Just found out a cancellation form I emailed back at the beginning of May didn't make it to its destination, leading to an ACH draft after I closed my bank account, which auto-re-opened just so it could deny a payment and charge me fees. (Obviousdly there is no money in a CLOSED account) and now I owe some $200 in stupid fees and crap. I am faxing the form to them tonight and calling to make sure they got it tomorrow so they shut off the damn service THIS WEEK. Goddamn it. This was supposed to be taken care of. Like I have any money to spend on fuckups right now... I don't even have money to pay for my regular bills. I really, really want to strangle something right now. It's a good thing we don't have pets.

Choke a boyfriend instead. He'll forgive you and he may actually like it.
Read it in one go. I can see how the internet has turned some people to the worse. They're also people who don't read a lot of books.
It's kind of interesting read something like that because I know that my brain actively prevents me from being that kind of a person. When I'm on the net, my browser will usually only have one tab/window open, maybe a few if I'm working and need a couple tabs open to look at references. Even when I want to multi-task to get more things done, if I need to focus, it's very easy to turn the rest off. I think it's likely that rather than actively rewiring a person's brain, technology takes advantage of an already existing exploit. And with kids these days, they are getting attacked earlier and earlier on, so the exploit is just opened up larger as time goes on.

No, that's incorrect. The loophole that was closed was to stop foreign companies from using the loophole - it's still much the same for German corporations, if I recall correctly.

Also, in that video - Captain Riggs. He used to have a partner, but he got too old for this shit.

EDIT: Though, if she wants me to hit her, choking me would be a great way to make that happen. Or, y'know, you could just ask. I'm accommodating.
*insert witty reference to the baby naming thread*
I am pleased.
I feel so empty inside
