Lets be relevant, for once

Image
Lets get those pageviews, yo. Well, if it did not take me so long to figure out how to get my feelings down on digital ink... Here are some of my thoughts on Avengers: Age of Ultron I just saw it tonight.  Yes, I am aware it is Monday.  (I watched this on the 3rd, two days after the premier, took me awhile to actually get this review written.) Yes, I am aware that it came out on Thursday at midnight.  No, you cannot have my nerd card.  I will prove my worthiness to keep it by complaining about a comic book movie.  Online even.... Getting Ready To prepare myself, I did not watch any of the many trailers and ads that were posted in the past few months leading up to the release.  I saw the first one, and that was enough to sell me on it.  I feel that trailers lately have been spoiling too much about a movie.  I wanted to go into this movie as blind as I could, so I could be surprised.  Well, as surprised as I could be, b...

Furious 7 - Or, Bro, do you even Plot?

Image
     Before I get too far.  I DID like this movie.  Not love, but really liked it.  If you liked the past….6, then you really do not even need to continue reading.  You have already seen it.  You have already got “sand” in your eye at the end of the movie, you big man machine that you are.  This movie is fun, as long as you turn off your brain.  The part of your brain that knows about logic, proper plot, and physics. We are going to spoil some of the...cough, plot.  Which is okay.  You have already watched it, or weren’t going to anyway. Are you ready, BRO.  Track Day, BRO!!!  BRO!!!!      I was not ready for this movie.  I came to the theater with all my mental faculties fully functional.  This is not what one does when you go to this, the 7th movie in the Car movie franchise that turned into what the Expendables wanted to be.  It took me a long time to get into th...

Thoughts on the new Batman V Superman Trailer

Image
Before we go any further, you need to watch this trailer if you have not already yet. Don't complain, just be cool man.... Okay, now we can talk. This has been very interesting to watch on the Internet all the different reactions to this trailer. Usually you when you show a trailer, you get one of two responses. 1.) Variations on "Duuuuude!!!!" "Whoah Duuuuude!!" or "Meh, it looks good." or a shrug of the shoulders, and then a nod of approval. 2.) "That will suck" "meh" or no reaction at all. With this trailer though, we have a few more reactions, in addition to those. It has sparked an online debate. Not a debate on what the story is going to be about. But whether it is going to suck or not. The places of debate for this movie has turned into a hostile place. This is nerd fandom at it's worst. Us nerds (I have been guilty of this at times as well.) need to all settle down. We need to sit down and realize ho...

Hello, hellllloo, helllo, hello, hello....

Where have I been? I have not posted awhile, I know.  I am going to make it a goal to be consistent in my posting.  I am not sure that anyone is ever going to read these, but I need to do it for me.  I need to get some of these ideas, whether they suck or not, out.  I will help me in getting my opinions out, and help me in my argument skills. A bit of House keeping.  I know that the images on some of the sites are missing.  I do not know what happened there.  I am not sure I am going to fix them anytime soon.  I will get to it later, so, sorry. So, as a reminder to me, and you of what this blog is about.  This blog is about the random things that I want to post about, nothing too big, links to cool things and pics.  I might turn it into a TL;DR version of some of the coolest and most interesting things on the web, and my life right now, we will see how that goes. Now, I have another blog, Shower Thoughts, is more of a place to put bi...

Apple meh Watch

Image
(the pictures are not working right now, I might go back an fix them, maybe) I am an apple fanboy.  I have alway been Team Apple.  Most of the time I am totally on board what ever they do.  Big iPhone?  Yeah sure, I can see why someone would like that.  Macbook Air, so want one.  Siri on Mac OS X?  Sure, why not, she still is not as cool as we want her to be, but whatever.  Apple Watch?  eh, no.  Apple tends to do release things that you are like, I did not know that I needed this thing, but now I NEED it in my life.  That is what the iPad did for me.  I don’t see this with the Apple Watch, I could be wrong, but even though I did not see the practical reason for a $500 iPad, but I still wanted one.  I have no desire to have an Apple watch.  It is an Apple first. Still need your phone. You still need to have your phone on you to make it work.  Well, it will still give you the t...

I am a cheap Gamer

Image
I really don't play video games anymore.  Not in the tradional sense.  I watch other people play games on Youtube.  Yep, I don’t play anymore.  I watch.   Why? Games are Expensive. I do not have as much money as I used to have to spend on games.  Having kids will do that.  I have only 2 games that I like to play anymore.  I still love Skyrim, 200+ hours in.  And Diablo 3.  That is it. Side note - The last game that I bought was not worth the money.  Destiny.  I wanted to like this game Oh, Tried so hard to like this game.  And that is a problem.  You should not have to try to like a game.  It just happens, that is why you play a game, because the fun is built in.  Sometimes the game will trick you, Like World of Warcraft, at first it was fun, but a year or two you realize you just spent the last 2 hours harvesting spider-somethings for part one of a 5 part mission to ge...

Can you ruin a Grilled Cheese Sammie?

Image
    I used to think that you could.  I had this debate with Julie recently.  She likes to put lunch meat and miracle whip in hers.  .........hold on a min while I throw up in my mouth a little.     I once thought grilled cheese is one thing.  Grilled Bread, (whiter the better, you racist) and cheap cheese.  The beauty is in the simplicity of it all.  And it is easy, You have to really suck at making food, I would not call this cooking, it is heating up ingredients and smashing them together.  But then I had a look at this site. I'll wait while you have look at it.  I will just be sitting here looking at something on reddit, or something. http://www.grilledcheeseacademy.com/ It's like your opinion, man...      Like, seriously, did you have a look at some of those?  Dat Hotlanta doh...it's like a double down, but not sad. They all look good, in their own I'm a special and unique snowfl...
