The Pac-10 vs the SEC
ESPN posted an article stating that USC's road to the national championship would somehow be harder than LSU's. Anyway, one of the comments pretty much summed it up:

It's about vampires, ostensibly, you know. But underneath, it's actually about the reunification of Germany
I am a huge fan of Qwantz.com. The concept of using the same image for every strip is one of those ideas that you're upset someone came up with, not because you have issue with it, but more so because you didn't think of it first. I've been trying to wrap my head around the potential issues that would occur if you tried to do this with movies. Animation would far and away be the easiest medium. You'd have to alter the mouths a bit so things have some sense of synch. It would sort of be like The Fensler Films G.I. Joe public service announcements, which have haunted the interwebs for years now. Conceptually you would do this over and over, on like a weekly basis. It would take some stones to put something like this on tv, mainly because of the assumption that audiences would dismiss it as another rerun.
NBA 2K8 ratings are out, these are the top 25 at each position, which, when put in list forms, makes them look pretty accurate. It also displays how abysmal the center position has become in the NBA. Bring back Manute.

The Floggings will continue until morale improves
This is not an update. I am knee-deep in a project that has consumed every waking moment of my time. The time I don't spend on it is distributed between yelling angrily at the Utah State Aggies on NCAA College Football '08 and Bioshock (possibly the greatest game I've ever played). It could be worse, I could be claiming tennis is better than college football. Seriously, Scoop "Poop" Jackson beat me to it(http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/070903). And someone actually paid him to do it, and didn't fire him. Amazing.
Anyway, this is from an interview with Curt Kirkwood (if anyone knows where it's from, please tell me) about the new Meat Puppets album:
Anyway, this is from an interview with Curt Kirkwood (if anyone knows where it's from, please tell me) about the new Meat Puppets album:
"This record is very much a return to our '80s approach,"
Curt Kirkwood says of the new Meat Puppets album Rise to
Your Knees. "It cost next to nothing to make, and
everything on it is a first take. My attitude now is that
I refuse to spend a lot of money on this, I refuse to over
think it, and I refuse to let other people impose their
own agendas on my band."
...
"In the '80s, we used to just crap this stuff out," he
notes. "Those SST records cost, like, five grand apiece,
if that much, and those are the records that made people
like us. Later, when we got into a position to work in
bigger studios with outside people, we'd wind up spending
a whole bunch of money and having to satisfy the people
who gave us that money. We did that all through the '90s,
and I'm just not interested in doing that anymore.
"Now, if I can get away with it, I'll make a record as
cheap as I can and put as little work as I can into it,
which is what we did with this one. I don't like putting a
lot time into it. We cut a track, and If we've played it
halfway right, we're done with it."

Dustier than ever
Don't call it a come back, I've been here for years. It just seems like there hasn't been new entries in years. But here's one. No, not about how transformers is one part awesome robot fight, one part ridiculously terrible movie about a douchebag and a hot chick. Not about Moral Orel's season finale, which, like the premier episode, was dark and unexpected. Not about the Spurs trading away Scola's rights (along with Freeway Jackie Butler) to Houston for magic beans. Not the recent E3, which everyone seems to think Microsoft screwed up on because of their 'advertise games actually coming out before the next e3' strategy. This is basically just a plea to vote for a band called Helicopters in some crappy contest so they can play at Lollalpalooazoaozaoza. Vote here, and vote often. They were in first at one point, and over the weekend a ton of crappy bands shadily got a ton of votes. I have no interest in going, but it would be cool to say I knew some guys who played there.

It's no longer whisper-mode on the red-alert
Ignoring the fact that I'm promoting a site called "Gamers with Jobs" when I, in fact, do not have a job, this is probably the most interesting and complete preview for BioShock I've seen yet. If you can get through it without getting exciting at how good this game could be, you really shouldnt be playing video games in the first place.

Night of a thousand reviews part deux
The third of AdultSwim's pilots (from way, way back on May 13th), Superjail, has already been picked up for a season. Having already seen barfight (definitely worth taking the time to watch) and Space War (or whatever it's called), two animated shorts by the same creator, I had high expectations for this show. Expectations that got their wallet stolen because they walked down the wrong dark alley. Superjail was a major disappointment, relying almost exclusively on violence for violence' sake humor - which can be funny as in Korgoth or get really old really quick as in the recent Morel Oral episode "Turn the Other Cheek" which had a shelf life worse than Hooter's Wings (which are nigh unreheatable). The warden character was some sort of unfunny parody of Willy Wonka, Alice the manly woman cop was completely unnecessary, and the twins were ridiculously awful in design, execution, voice, and everything else. Rather than keep doing what they've been doing for years (fast animation with tons of violence and little else) they could have created a very funny serious with Jared the accountant, and a talking bottle of booze (which, along with the talking vegetables, was easily the highlight of the show). And Jailbot rules.
There was going to be a Spiderman 3 review, but it was such a convoluted mess that words can't describe it. So much of the movie doesn't make sense. The characters are awful. The storyline is just plain bad, even if you disregard the fact that it's based on a comic book and treat it as just a movie, it's all over the place, poorly paced, and just a mess. The Venom character is pretty much bolted onto the movie for no real reason. There's a dance number. The only redeeming parts involved the Sandman, not when he was talking, because his character is poorly developed, but when he was made of sand, not because of the special effects, but because Raimi is a horror director and the sandman was an homage to the great horror films. He's very much a movie monster, with a Karlov-ian performance at his inception to his godzilla like giant smashings at the end. The early symbiote stuff is also great for the same reason - sorta like the monsters in the Thing.
The commercial is full of crap: if any critic tells you this is the best of the three, take your socks off and fill them with quarters, a bar of soap, a pool ball, anything and beat them repeatedly. Then take their wallet.

The Promised Penguins Game
Awhile back I did a running diary of the first Pen's game. The lost, and kept losing their way out of the playoffs. It's been sitting on my desktop. I didn't really bother editing it, so it's an affront to grammar technicians everywhere. It also was funnier when it was more relevant. This was also the same night as the Red Sox/Seattle game that ESPN promoted every three seconds for ten weeks. 4/11/07 Enjoy.
6:46 PM - pizza in the oven, windows f5 key a go
6:47 PM - things I could be doing otherwise - 1 episode of the simpsons I’ve probably seen before, 2 episodes of scrubs. Thanks to the idiocy of comcast, the game will be on the inhd channel, preempting some hd british bands that suck, and tours of Safeco and Fenway. not that anyone would bother watching those anyway. But it will screw up dvr's, which is nice.
6:52 PM - things I also don’t care about - major league baseball...seriously, there's like 900 more games for each team before they even start thinking about playoffs. All this hype over two japanese people who have faced each other dozens of times is ridiculous.
7:21 PM - 13:22 left in the game and I finally turn it on... I missed an ottawa goal, and here's another one. go pens!
versus says they have it, and are on a commerical - and it's the Iditarod!! dog racing...just as good as hokey, right?
7:23 PM a supercuts hokey commercial - fan-tastic.
With no real claims to base anything on yet, let's bitch about hockey's scheduling - there's roughly 80 some odd games, and you're telling me they don’t have enough room for a home game for every team against every other team? that’s the stupidest thing since playing baseball games in April in cold weath--nevermind...
7:28 PM - non hd - this is getting out of control, it's time to open up espn gamecast. oh wait, espn doesn’t have gamecast for hockey...nice. just like the nba allstar game.
wait, was that guy's name bizzaros? Like is there a normalos somewhere, and does bizzaros try not to get goals or something?
7:30 PM - other than recchi and roberts, have any of the penguins started growing hair in new places and thinking about girls yet?
7:31 PM - and now a power play...which obviously the senators haven’t needed yet.
So give them a 5-3, since they were doing so well with 5-5. Who exactly do teams prepare for a 5-3, just bring out the 3 toughest dudes? This is ridiculously unfun. Couldn’t they just give them two power plays, one after another?
7:35 PM - Fleury is getting murdered. Someone should try playing some defense to help them out. Note to everyone - please stop calling it a new season. It's not a new season, it's the playoffs. Power play to the pens.
I'm missing Shark Rebellion in HD. I don’t even know what that means...but it sounds awesome. And they're interviewing a guy who got mauled by a shark. I'm also missing Inside the NBA for this, but oddly if I put my head out the window, I can hear Steven A. Smith from here.
7:41 PM - and the pen's power play fails again. But wait, they get another shot at it.
7:45 PM - "What a pane in the glass" worst pun ever. I thought only Pittsburgh was allowed to use old music from decades past for no reason.
7:48 PM - and another 5-3 ...awesome. wow. and then comes the intermission...
7:56 PM - and thank god I turned to nba shootaround at the right time, because otherwise i would have missed dirk nowitski trying to say thank you to the studio crew...a-mazing.
-an aside
I'm not sure what Showtime's This American Life is all about. Every time I check in on it, it's totally different. Some of it is intriguing enough to keep me watching. It's confusing. I'm not sure what to say about it.
8:12 PM - finally turn back to the game...and somehow missed the end of the 5 on three and get a power play for the pens. Which turns out to be terrible.
8:20 PM - absolutely nothing of consequence has happened in the last few minutes
except gary roberts getting murdered in front of ottawa bench. he then makes a bee line for vochenkov to knock him into the net.
barouque would be so much cooler if he were baraka of mk2 fame
8:25 PM - finally the penguins have some sort of offense - still no goal though
I tried to figure out why the senators were the senators, but even wikipedia didn’t really know...but there once was a team called the Montreal AAA, which is as hilarious as it is stupid.
8:31 PM - "Marc Eaton's stick is like a snake" seriously, these announcers are just not good. There's no real color guy. A play-by-play, and a 'just some other guy' guy, and a penguin powerplay...anemia all around.
8:34 PM - 4 on 4, and ottawa fans like cheering when penguins fall down, which I don’t really understand. I mean, it's funny, but not really cheer worthy, unless they've got a better vantage point ...oh wait, another senators goal. Things really aren't looking well for the pens. At least none of the good senator plays have scored.
8:40 PM - this game is getting out of hand and my mind is wandering. and then a pens goal makes it just a little more interesting...which gets me to turn back from the shroud of turin special on public (but somehow still h-freakin-d) television. Jordan Staal, age 12, scores his first playoff goal. When he grows up, he want to be a fireman.
8:43 PM - emmery is still the scariest goalie in the league, if not for anything more than the "well, our goalie can beat up your goalie" argument. And a penalty on sidney crosby (age 13)
8:47 PM -fleury still playing out of his mind - 29 shots on goal - sweet poopy that's a lot
and the senators play the simpsons theme over the organ. and will start the next period on the power play, again...
8:49 PM - bonnie bernstein on the baseball game - the only way this could be better is flipping to the Iditarod with Erin Andrews (please make this happen, espn...only some sort of dogs across the desert race)- this dice k dude isn’t doing all that well...more perfect timing. 100 pitches and this guy is still tossing 94mph...its a good thing its the worthless beginning of the season.
8:52 PM - pistons beating on the magic despite Howard’s 7 offensive rebounds. He and hill have most of the magic's points. So they get put on the bench. Nice. Bill Walton's "That's why you have to play like a guard, and not like a big man." No one can make a stupider point than Walton.
9:05 PM - that was quick - senators score. I'm officially not paying any attention to this game anymore.
9:08 PM - pen's score.
9:09 PM - and then they didnt
9:13 PM - It's just occured to me that this will in no way even approach the awesomeness of lil jon's hockey blog. 16 reasons of crap. I guess the penguins are now the lakers and the cavs... let's go kobe crosby james
9:15 PM - 17:24 left in the game, and I'm trying to make it for the long haul. Even if it means missing Crossing Jordan, American Idol, and a remake of guess who's coming to dinner with bernie mac and ashton kutcher. Maybe this hockey thing isn’t so bad.
9:19 PM - another goal...someone thaw out lemiuex's brain and put it in a hodgkins' proof robot body. The pen's need some help. The only hope now is that someone gets into a terrible, terrible fight.
9:22 PM - it's the chappelle jedi molestation accusation sketch. Good blow this is. and gave me a wine cooler. Yes they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell.
9:24 PM - the pens are actually hitting people. I think their nanny fell asleep. I don't know if ... another goal...anyway...I don't know if hockey teams have scrub units, but the senators should get theirs in as soon as possible. You don't want Bizzaros getting hurt.
9:28 PM - this game is cooked. I say pull the goaltender, and just go nuts. Resign to having lost the game and go have some fun, spit on some people, rock the Kasbah.
Checking the spurs game cast, they were up 8 before half, i check back they're down 8, then 2 minutes later..they’re up 2.
9:30 PM - wow...they pulled fleury, and the announcer (avererage nobody noncolor guy) just said they should break a stick over someone's arm. Nappyhoes indeed. And now there's a scrum. Apparently if the senators get 7 goals, everyone wins a big mac (or the Canadian equivalent)...
9:34 PM - pens on a 2 man advantage - it turns out they play pitt on Saturday then at Pittsburgh on Sunday...that sound you just heard, that’s the nhl schedule makers zooming by the baseball guys for worst scheduling ever. Good grief.
9:35 PM - pens score...and still stay on the power play. Too little too late
9:38 PM - that fails completely and now there's another pen's power play. I think whitney need another 30 seconds with the corner guys from fight night you cant just be hitting the 'y' button and letting it do it on its own.
9:42 PM - orpik is down. Sticks everywhere - (it's a forest)
Dwight Howard just caught an oop, pretty much elbows over the basket. The kid can kinda jump.
9:47 PM - Can you say 'crap' on the air? pens score again. if the commissioner of the NHL had as much pull as David Stern, there's be some suspensions from this game, and a special officiating crew would be flown in to make sure that the pens win - tv revenues - and then a fight.
and talbot with a smack in the back of the head to somebody
playoff blowout hockey - its fantastic
9:55 PM finally it ends.
6:46 PM - pizza in the oven, windows f5 key a go
6:47 PM - things I could be doing otherwise - 1 episode of the simpsons I’ve probably seen before, 2 episodes of scrubs.

Night of a thousand reviews (part 1)
So Adultswim showed five pilots last Sunday. They're still watchable on Adultswim's Fix over at adultswim.com Here's a recap:
Fat Guy Stuck in Internet -
This might be the worst show ever seen on a professional cable network. This was really, really bad. It didn’t have much of a chance from the start, though. It’s based on a series of shorts called Gemberling (named after the main character). These shorts are basically Evil Dead 1 to Fat Guy’s Evil Dead II. This new series is little more than a larger budget remake. The sock on the leg joke might have been the only funny thing about the entire show. Another bad live action AS show
Let’s Fish –
A welcomed surprise. Everything about this show worked pretty well, from the island Boston savages to fat, retarded Hitler (joke of the night). Scott Adsit (of 30 Rock, and probably a dozen other things where he’s “that one guy” from that show/movie fame) and Brendan Small (of Metalocalypse and Home Movies fame) have good chemistry together, and make for a nice odd couple stuck in a boat. Besides, everyone loves Cuban stereotypes.
Reviews for the rest will be up later, along with the best Family Guy in ages and the most convoluted Spiderman yet.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock
Make sure to check out Adult Swim's Pilot Week. It's previews of the five pilots they're running on Sunday May 13th. "Superjail" (from some people at least partly responsible for Beavis and Butthead) and "Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet" are already picked up for at least a season. "That Crook'd Slipp" stars David Banner (from the M, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, hump back, hump back I, make 'em wanna die) and "The Drinky Crow Show" is based on the ridiculously good Maakies strip. Good stuff.
Shaq Fu (Da Return)
Nearly 30 days later:
First and foremost, Dallas is dead. How can you not root for Golden State? Biederenisneisnisni8xsis is Euro-trash exemplified, Matt Barnes could be used as a pro-abortion argument, no one on their team is over 6'5". Screw it, let's go through the whole roster:
Kelenna Azubuike (who is this? I'm lumping him in with Zarko Cabarkapa the Raparkapa as the weird name guys who no one really cares about. Indiana cast-off, and one time euro-sharp shooter Sarunas Jasikevicius can join 'em.)
Matt Barnes - I bet he got beat up a lot in high school, and middle school, and college, and probably now-a-days too
Andris Biedrins - needs to go to the Jazz, so he, Okur, and Kirlenko can style eachother's hair before games
Monta Ellis - suddenly coming alive. What he did against Dallas was worth his $664,209 a year - it's a small price for 8 and 2 a game
Adonal Foyle - Colgate's finest. 2.2 pts a game during the regular season at 8 mil. Smart move signing this guy, Chris.
Al Harrington - it's sad when your best big man is listed at 6'8", but is probably more 6'6"
Mickael Pietrus - Euro power Go! Except he's from Guadeloupe. Who would know, with a name like that?
Josh Powell - has the same birthday as me, plays about as much for the warriors as I do
Jason Richardson - one of the better Richardsons in the league
Stephen Jackson - Hanibal Lecter meets Rasheed Wallace meets crazy. If he were any crazier, he'd be a woman
Patrick O'Bryant - a seven foot center out of Bradley, who played a whopping 16 games this season. Spent most of his time in the D-League. Nearly won rookie of the in my NBA 2k7 season
Baron Davis - unequivically the man. Came to a game with bullets in his fedora. His beard could probably beat you in arm wrestling. Does stuntwork for Black Thought from the Roots
See, how could you not like this team?? Besides, they play the Jazz.

Spor(t) Repor(t)
The Falcons signed Joey "Effin'" Harrington and relased Johnny Kevin Mathis. Ricky Williams is trying to rejoin the Dolphins. Tom Coughlin
still has a job. Simply put, the NFL is crazy. I wish there were some sort of media blackout as soon as the superbowl parade ended until the start of preseason, like a magic ripvanwinkle effect. It would totally make things more exciting.
The NHL playoffs are coming up, and I don't particularly care for hockey, nor could I see how can - Thanks for screwing everything up, NHL - but the Pens are playoff bound and I feel like trying my hand at a running commentary of the game. I've failed miserably at these every time I've tried them for a basketball game, so maybe with a dvr and zero knowledge of hockey I'll figure it out. With any luck, it'll make your heads bleed for superfan #87 over there.
