The Underground Junk Hole

I was looking for free stuff and saw these nifty posts:

Free Newspapers

Free Desk / BombShelter Combo!

Alrighty, so because Corey ("TAO" at Articulated Discussion) linked to me from his site, I have to post more often to keep you punks entertained! Hard to do when I'm constantly fighting-off sleep, hunger, and a neverending invasion of bedbugs. I pray for those of you who I've shipped items to, who knows what vicious bedbug has snuck out of the package and into your homes.

Well, I don't pray for you guys, more like wait for the angry emails so I can laugh for a while.

I tried bug-bombs last week. Let me tell you what a bug-bomb is, it is not the magnificent cloud of poisonous death that seeps into every crack and hole to strangle the life out of any bug caught in it's venemous grip that you may, by all reasonable means, think it is. A bug-bomb is more like a sissy little mist that spittles out of the canister. It flows along the floor and settles in your carpet, where it rests and dozes like a lazy security guard. All bug-bombs do is piss-off whatever bug you're trying to kill, to the point where they come out while you're sleeping and bite the shit out of you for ever thinking you could stop their insectile juggernaut.

Tomorrow some guy is gonna come and fumigate and do fun extermitaor stuff, like wear a ridiculously huge respirator-mask and talk like Darth Vader. I had to put all my toys into tupperware things, I'm not looking forward to setting them up again, so many tiny pieces to keep track of...

Oh, and-

Unbreakable [2000] - Don't know why I haven't seen this sooner, I even remember seeing the ads for it way back then. Anyway, it wasn't bad! I didn't even know it was comic-book related, I just wanted to see Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson spit lines at each other, and they did! Line-spitting! Awesome! Lol, okay, I liked it up to the part when, inevitably, they put in some stupid little kid who I wanna punch in the face. Anytime I start to like a movie, BAM! Stupid little kid gets put in to annoy me. Whatever. The movie wasn't overly-dramatic, not too much action either, but it's interesting enough to want to know what happens next.

Yar, some movies and a quick thought on each:

• The Broken [2008] - For a film that made it to Horrorfest, this thing was boring as hell. Granted, it did do a great job of building suspense thoughout, everytime you saw a mirror you'd be like "OMG! The might be someone there when next she looks into it!" Okay, that's pretty lame too since, like, ALL horror movies do that nowadays. And they have, you now, horror in them. Blegh. 6 Broken Mirrors / 10
  
  
• JCVD [2008] - Yes, Jean Claude Van Dam! I'm sad to say I couldn't find any version with English subtitles because the whole movie is in French. I still watched it though and pretended to understand everything, it was pretty awesome. Jean Claude is a secret agent from Pluto sent to earth to capture his evil doppleganger from taking over the galaxy! Nah, this actually looked like a good film, Van Dam looks and sounds so natural in this movie. And there's some cool monologue that everyone is raving about, that I thought was cool, but not epic...  Squiggly~Line / 10
  
  
• Dark Reprieve [2008] - Yuck! This thing sounded cool, but it's soooo boring. Bad acting but it's a really creepy idea. If the acting was better I'd probably have liked it. I remember seeing an old Twilight Zone episode that had basically the same plot as this movie, so I guess it's like a tribute to it or something. Lame / 10
  
  
• Solo [2006] - No, it's not porn, you freaks. It's an Australian film about a hitman who wants to retire but his bosses won't let him so interesting stuff happens. I wasn't expecting much out of it, so I was surprised that it was pretty decent. I mean, I love Australia and all, but it sounded kinda generic on paper. Coolness. I hated the ending though, it was kinda telegraphed thorughout the film. 7 Cute College-Girls / 10
  
  
• The Line [2006] - Not a horror flick, it's a straightforward crime drama/action thing. Not like CSI or Law&Order, those shows suck (sorry), more like...wel, I don't know what to compare it to, I don't watch movies that often! xD Anyway, it's a lot less epic than the descriptions for it make it sound. Two cops need to stop a gang war, but there's some croooked cops running around. The film isn't as "deep" as I wanted it to be, but it made it's point. It's okay. 7 Fuzzy Moral Lines / 10
  
  I really just like anything with angry Brits/Aussies/Kiwis in it, they're hilarious! Don't believe me? Take a look at this angry Kiwi and tell me it isn't hilarious:
  
  
  
  
  

  Um...okay, that's actually pretty fucking scary...like Big Bird and Chupacabras combined...um...moving on...
  
  
  
• Wall-E [2008] - Actually, I saw this last month, but it's such a cute and adorable movie that it's still in my head. Go watch it! Unless you hate cute things. Baby-haters. Lol, just messing with ya, I hate babies too. 14 Cute-ass Robots / 10

Oh! Go buy Black Label Society's albums! The music just sounds like a bunch of noise, and all the songs start to sound the same after a while, but it's still good! Har, it's good heavy banging to knock the cobwebs out of your crappy Jonas Brothers-infested brain. You really need to have a good ear to enjoy this music though, I'm not kidding about the songs all sounding the same after a while. You need to be able to pick-out the different sounds happening at once to appreciate it. This is one of the reasons people don't like Black/Death Metal, it just sounds like a bunch of noise, but if you take the time to understand what's happening within the song, then...um...a leprechaun gives you a pot of gold! No, it makes you realize just how much work the performers are putting into their music.

Man, I think it's hilarious, how can they go from Pounding Riffs to THIS, within the same album? And by hilarious I mean awesome, that song is fucking epic. I liked listening to like 93% of all the songs across all the albums! Because they all sounded the same! xD Srsly though, the banging songs are all okay, but the acoustic and mellow songs are epic. I love these guys.

Oops, almost forgot, I love you Zooey Deschanel. Be mine. Please? Oops, again...

• Yes Man [2008] - Jim Carrey and my beloved Zooey, best movie ever! This movie hit me pretty hard. I got all introspective and shit after it, wanted to be a better person and junk, and it almost happened, but luckily I drifted off to sleep and forgot about it...until now...crap.
  
  Zooey sings! I love her more now. The fake band, Munchausen by Proxy, plays music I love to make fun of. You know, that awful synth-techno-pop or whatever the hell it's called. It's awesome too. Look them up, they made 4 songs for the movie and they're all pretty to listen to.
  
  The title song, Yes Man, is the least goofy, I love it. Keystar and Sweet Ballad are fucking hilarious.

Forget about all the homebrew and hackability of the DS for a second. Honestly, this one game may completely, and singly, justify buying a DS. It's called Jam Sessions, where you assign chords to various buttons (you hold them to play that sound) and strum with the touch-screen. I'll have a review on it soon, this is just crazy cool! I wonder if you can finger-pick?

Yesss! Bid to your heart's desire! even if you just wanna mess around, just give me some sense of hope that it will sell decently ;_;

Lol, took some pics these new figs, I love my Russian beefcake ;_;

Don't you just love getting foreign mail? It comes wrapped and with that cool twine wrapped around that makes it look so cute!

This was a Green Lantern made by feralwolf of the ToySoup forum. I like how gritty it is, this custom was based on a picture I found on Deviant Art, I say she's Samus Aran's sister :]

Eventually my PS skills will improve, for now it's basic cut and paste:

It's hard to explain to someone what it feels like to lose a hobby, especially when they've never had a hobby themselves. It's a hollowing experience, this thing you've done for most of your life suddenly comes to an end and you can't avoid it. If I had a kid and one day someone said "I'm taking your kid because you can't afford to feed him anymore", I'd be like "HELL YEAHZ!".

Ok, bad example, anyway...

I can't afford toys anymore. I can't afford anything anymore but no new toys means I can't customize, which means even less money coming from commissions and ebay. It's over. Toys never appear around this area, online shipping is stupidly high, and even our tax-rate just went up to over 9%. I give up on it. It's a shame too because one of my wishes came true in the form of an official DCUC Power Girl and Hawkgirl being made. Oh well.

I don't know what I'm going to talk about on this site now...

...muffins?

These two titles fall into the category of "How the hell would they even make a playable game out of that!?"

Lifesigns: Hospital Affairs
You're a young apprenctice at a major hospital where everyone has a Japanese name but prefer to speak English for some reason. Heck, they even spell in British! "Colour"!? "Pamphlet!?" What the hell!?

I thought this game would play like the Operation board game where you cut people open with the stylus, and it sort of is, you use the touch-pad to examine patients and do other hospital-type stuff. Your first patient is a hot anime secretary with a bad attitude and you have to grope her body as she lays naked in front of you to figure-out what's wrong with her.

Ok, first of all, your hot anime nurse told you the patient has stomach pains. Then, the patient tells you she has stomach pains, exactly where her appendix is. You instantly know, oh, her appendix is messed-up. You COULD just ask her to lift her shirt a little so you can feel for the problem, but instead you ask your hot nurse to strip the hot secretary down to her panties and to lay her povocatively on the table so you can rub her. Hard. Seriously, the game says "Make sure you rub her hard or else it won't have an effect!". Wow.

Lol, okay, I'm exaggerating, but I think it would have been funny if when you, uh, "accidentally" rubbed the patient's naughty parts that the patient would say something realistic about it, instead of a generic "That's not where the problem is."

Anyway, the game is also kind of like a soap opera with gossip and mysterious strangers running around. It's pretty funny if you're into wacky anime/manga stuff, like you talk to the chief nurse and she shares gossip about the hot Pediatrician having a new boyfriend. Then, you have the option of sharing that gossip with other people you talk to. You could bring it up and someone might know more about it or share it with some random guy in the lobby and get a wierd look, har har.

Definitely not a game for everyone, there's a lot of text to read through and the action is lost in it.
