Lost Odyssey, Is it Worth Finding? 2008-02-14 12:53:00 Posted by:Kal Phew, it’s been a while since I last posted anything of importance because, of course, we are smack-dab in the middle of the spring semester at college. And I have about had it up to here with the amount of crap I should be doing all time. While on the drive home yesterday I was like “Hey I should post a blog entry” and there has been a lot of talk about this new game called Lost Odyssey
, so I began some digging up some information (while I was procrastinating on reading my textbooks) about this new and interesting game. Sadly little has been released about the game’s story other than who the characters are and that some never die. The game is called Lost Odyssey
and is based on a man named Kaim, who has lived for 1000 years. He has seen everything and done Read more:Worth
Transformers 2 2008-02-05 17:56:00 Posted by:KalIt has just come to my attention recently, that Transformers
the movie will have a sequel that is due the middle of the 2009. Not much information has been released about the sequel, especially because of the dim-witted writer’s strike that is happening right now. Filming will commence no matter what around June of 2008, which means, if the screenplay sucks…we might be in for a really bad sequel. Hopefully, the writers will just give in so we can go back to good movies in cinemas. Here is what Wikipedia has said about this matter: “Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are expected to return as director and executive producer for Transformers 2, and Paramount has announced a June 26,2009 release. Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Peter Cullen are signed on to return[…] Ehren
Super Bowls Commercials 2008 2008-02-04 20:36:00 Posted by:KalOkay, I know this doesn’t fall anywhere into the video game genre, however I think I will include this into my blog because it is such a significant event every year. Of course, all Americans know this event as the Super
Bowl. Sunday was the 42nd super bowl where the Patriots and Giants faced off in a no holds match in American Football. Not only was the game amazing, but also the ads stood out from any other year. So here are the top 10 Commercials
of the 42nd super bowl.1. Budweiser, “Rocky”2. Pepsi, “What is love”3. E-Trade baby, “Puke”4. Life Water, “Thriller”5. Bridgestone, “Scream”6. Tide, “Talking Stain”7. Pepsi, “Timberlake”8. Coke, “Balloon Fight”9. E-Trade, “Clown”10. Doritos, “Mousetrap”

The Gamer’s Utopia Preview: Top 10 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2008 (Five-One) 2008-01-22 18:56:00 Posted by:KalThis is, of course, is the continuation of my last post. If you did not read the one before this one, you can read it here. For all those people that already read that one, I’ll just jump into the list. 5. An apocalyptic world has been the setting for movies and games for the past few years. Maybe it’s an omen, maybe it’s not. Whether it is or not, the next few months will be filled with apocalyptic anticipation since Fallout 3 comes out in 2008. This game is centered on a Vault 101 member, who one day, wakes up and finds out his father has left the vault to wonder the wasteland that was once the United States. Wanted to find his missing father, the main character leaves the safely of the vault and starts his journey in the nuclear harsh environment. Surfing the i Read more:Gamer

The Gamer’ Utopia Preview: Top 10 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2008 (Ten-Six) 2008-01-17 17:41:00 Posted by:KalHaving 2007 recently come to a close, I searched the internet gazed into the future to see the upcoming games for 2008. I was rather impressed by the creative games of 2007, but the anticipation for the new 2008 strikes me harder than I ever thought possible. So with that in mind, I created a list of 10 games that strike my fancy (or the fancy of others) and I’m sure that they will interest you as well. 10. Will Wright is probably one my favorite game designers geniuses of our time…at least I think he is a genius. But with games like The Sims and SimCity, who would doubt that claim. His success is shown by the popularity of the games he designs and Spore will not be out of that loop. Though Spore is still TBA and there is no guarantee that it will be released in 20 Read more:Gamer

TV Show Review: Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles 2008-01-16 16:35:00 Posted by:KalFlicking through the channels Sunday evening I noticed a big advertisement on fox for a new show coming in the upcoming hour. After the many shouts from the other members of my family, I was persuaded to stay on Fox to check out the pathetic show that was going to follow, at least I thought it was going to be pathetic. Little did I know, I was wrong. To my amazement, the new Fox television show: Terminator
TSCC entertained and astounded me, whether by the action intense scenes or the embedded eye candy that I now know as Summer Glau, I surely enjoyed Terminator TSCC and I am sure you will too. The series takes place after the events of the 2nd terminator after the main characters destroyed T-1000 and the arm and the chip of the first terminator. Running from the la Read more:Sarah

The Gamer’s Utopia Preview: Soul Calibur 4 2008-01-15 17:07:00 Posted by:KalBlood, swords, death…*sniff* *sniff* Smells like Soul Calibur to me! That’s right gamers; Namco has just released news about their upcoming sequel to their famous Soul Calibur franchise. Soul Caliber IV will be hitting stores sometime in summer ’08. Sadly, the Wii will be excluded from the usual trio, but that’s alright because Namco has already released a Wii Soul Calibur game called Soul Calibur Legends. The most exciting news about the upcoming Soul Calibur game is, of course, the new characters. And when I mean exciting, I mean it. Namco released that there will be an exclusive character with each game console (as in 360 and PS3) and they should be characters that we all know about. Bundled with the 360, Yoda will be busting moves like there is no tomor Read more:Gamer

Youtube Feature: Smosh 2008-01-13 21:14:00 Posted by:KalOne of my favorite video producers on Youtube.com is a duo called Smosh. They have been on Youtube since the site was created and they were probably my first subscription. Recently, they have produced a new video titled Cat Soup and after 3 hours of laughter, I have finally cleared the tears of joy from my eyes long enough to type this blog entry. (Regular—longer posts— will continue this week. For all of you college students who are returning to school this week, you understand what I am feeling. Thanks for understanding).
The Gamer’s Utopia Movie Preview: Meet the Spartans 2008-01-08 12:11:00 Posted by:KalThe film 300 was, by far, one of the greatest, if not only, Greco-roman themed film of 2007. Not even a year later, somebody has to make some kind of crappy parody about God-knows what, to feed off 300’s money wagon. And let it be the team who created Epic Movie, to parasitically nourish itself off of 300’s success. That’s right; Meet the Spartans will be hitting theaters at the end of January. Hopefully without a bang…we wouldn’t want viewers to have seizures while watching the movie, would we? There is a bit of negativity in my tone when writing about Meet the Spartans. I mean, they “steal” a perfectly alright movie and then completely mock everything the movie was about. However, that’s really not what makes me angry, it’s the fact that people will actu Read more:Gamer

The Gamer's Utopia Review: .hack//GU 2008-01-07 20:19:00 Posted by:MaxxYeah this is my first post on this blog (I'm a new person around here besides Kal, if ya didn't know). So I figured why not break the ice with my review of my current addiction/obsession, .hack//GU. And just to let you know, my review for it is different than the ones in magazines and websites. .Hack is a rather popular hit, in games, anime and manga. The basic back story is about this HUGE MMORPG called "The World" (And when I say huge, I mean it's like every kid and their dad playing). "The World" did have its problems; problems that are by far worse than a crashed server. For you see, data anomalies infected the monsters, making them un-killable. And that's not the worse part, for you see if you get killed by an infected monster, you become comatose. In the first s Read more:Gamer

The Gamer’s Utopia Preview: Mario Kart Wii 2008-01-05 23:30:00 Posted by:KalPondering my childhood, I remember my very first Nintendo 64 game. It was a classic; there was nothing like play that game for hours on end. That game was Mario
Kart 64. I raced against friends and my sister, celebrated in my victory, sobbed in my defeat. *sign* such good memories. Well, Nintendo is at it again with another one of their famous Mario Kart
games, however, this time it’s more interactive and you guessed it, it’s for the Wii
. Currently, the game is projected to be released by spring 2008 and I am more than ecstatic. Like Mario Karts predecessors, Mario Kart Wii will have a single driver against a gang of opponents (unlike Double Dash). It will include various tracks from the past games such as Yoshi Falls and Dk Mountain and will support Nintendo WiFi c Read more:Gamer

Youtube Feature: PersonaSama 2008-01-03 15:57:00 Posted by:KalSurfing the Internet months ago, I came across a Youtube user that made animated videos. Liking his videos so much, I of course subscribed to him and recently he posted a new video. I won’t go into much detail because I would spoil what happens in the video, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it and watch this video.
The Gamer’s Utopia Preview: Final Fantasy IV the After: Tsuki no Kikan (Return of the Moon) 2008-01-03 09:23:00 Posted by: KalLittle did we all know, but Square Enix, is actually making another sequel for their famous Final
Fantasy franchise. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Square Enix doesn’t make sequels for Final Fantasy
; they are totally different games with different stories.” And of course, that statement is true (other than FFX-2, which I try to forget about); however, that statement will be false, in a few months, when the sequel for Final Fantasy IV comes out in Japan. The story takes place 17 years after the original (or the DS version) and will center on a young man named Ceodore (son of Ceril Harvey and Rosa Farrell-the protagonists of the original Final Fantasy IV). Most of the other details have been left out by Square Enix and true fans of Final Fantasy will have to keep ch Read more:Gamer

Video Game Vault: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber 2008-01-02 09:21:00 Posted by: KalDigging in the basement video game vault, I came across one of my favorite game titles for the Nintendo 64. A legendary title (well at least that's what I think), which kept me occupied for hours on end for several days after re-finding it in the territory I call my house and in all respects is a very engaging game. This game, of course, is Ogre Battle
64. Whether it is the joy of controlling my little sprites across a battle field or the thrill of upgrading my characters to a different class or having to put up with those annoying little "soldiers" things randomly upgrading to an actual fighter, there was just something about OB64 which made it stand out from the rest. Basically the story follows the protagonists: Magnus Gallant (or whatever you name him), a recent graduate Read more:Vault

Superbad 2, SuperWorse 2008-03-10 14:00:00 Posted by:KalWell, it has been only but a few hours since I lasted posted but I came across this video on the web while I was relaxing for a bit. What is better than the original Superbad? Oh it’s Superworse! Well…at least that’s what they call their video. A production called pleasedontsueus productions created this silly little video from clips of the movie Superbad to make a small video even funnier than the original. Check it out.
Pure Pwnage Released! Woho for Episode 16! 2008-03-09 19:01:00 Posted by:KalWow another few months have gone by and another Pure Pwnage (pronounced ownage) has been released. Tis that time of year again, I guess. Jeremy and Kyle are at it again, with their web show and this time, I couldn’t have been happier to watch. If you’re just coming into the series now, I would suggest to start from Episode
one and watch all the way to sixteen to catch up on all the story lines and such. Hope you guys enjoy. (P.S – I will be getting back to posting more once spring break starts next week. Also, I will probably go on another break once we get back to school. For me, after spring break I only have about a month and that is when it gets even more hectic).
