You know, nothing still like a good ol side scroller video game.  Seriously, they are still around and alive and kicking.  I sometimes miss the good old ones such as Life Force and Contra.  Those games were simple enough but were always fun to play no matter how many times you played through.  I recently tried out Castle Crashers which is an xbox live arcade game and its got the same feel as the moldy oldies.  Glad to see someone out there knows how to capture the feel of play the old games had.  Of course for some odd reason, Castle Crashers almost reminds me of the Earthworm Jim series of games.  Now there was some funny added to an almost serious game.  It’s graphics were cartoony and yet pleasing to the eye with their detail and animation.

The Princess Bride is not a bad movie to see if you haven’t seen it yet.  It has some known comedians and actors in it as well as a cameo role by Andre the Giant from way back in the day.  The movie is cheesy but that’s the point!

My favorite scene is the battle of wits between the black pirate Roberts and the sicilian,”Inconceivable!”.  I found a youtube excerpt of the scene so I’ll link it below for your viewing pleasure.

“Never go against a sicilian when death is on the line! ah hah! Ah haha!”  *keels over*

What better way to outsmart the little guy than poison your drink and his without him knowing you are immune to the poison!  For those few that read my site, what is your favorite scene or character from the movie and why?

There are some old games you just can’t put down.  Doom is one such game.  To this day, I still can’t put the game down!  It was simple and yet very entertaining and long unlike some other games now days.  I think I will make posts like this a weekly or monthly thing.  I dunno.  Seems cliche but we shall see.  I’m a game enthusiast and its a nice avenue to release pent up rage while you frag/gank people’s digital avatars hehe!

Well, that proved to be a long weekend.  Back to work as usual for me.  After work I’m hoping to create a more elaborate post than this.  But then again, I’m a very good procrastinator.

Well looks like that time of the year for Memorial Day of events that have taken place in the past.  AMC is showing some of the best WWII movies that were made.  If you haven’t checked them out, flick on the TV and start watching!  Sure some are very old but they are worth checking out.  Too bad they weren’t showing ‘A Bridge Too Far’.  There were good actors in the film and it showed some realities of what had happened during that war time period to soldiers in the field.  I could go on forever though since I’m a WW movie buff but gotta get back to the show!

After some verbal torture and suggestions, I have fired up word press on my very neglected web page. Maybe this will help me get the motivation to do more with my site but we shall see. Life has a funny way of taking all your free time and allotting it to various other tasks.
