“Now I have to wonder all weekend what that rumbling is.”

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Wow. Ok. First lets get my mainstream media (TV/movie/vidjeogame) ranting out of the way… then next post I can move on to more relevant matters.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

So I watched the two hour ending to Avatar on Friday… they wrapped the series up really well… but man, one more season would’ve been nice!

I always found it interesting that people were so polarized on their opinion of the show! They either love it to death or hate it beyond reason. I personally loved it, even from the first season there was something about it that drew you in… and then the later seasons were even better. A lot of great character development all around (for a U.S. cartoon anyway) and I think the ending was pretty much perfect for the series.

I’ve heard rumors that there might be some more episodes taking place in the same universe but not directly related to The Avatar. We need to make those happen.

The Dark Knight

Saw it last night… and I dunno, I guess it was pretty good. One of my friends told me it was the best Batman movie ever, but I’m not so sure. I think Batman Begins might have been a little better.

I did like the fact that they took a more interesting spin on The Joker by making him more of a social anarchist than a regular criminal. But man, am I the only person that hates Batman’s voice? It sounds so forced! Couldn’t he talk a little more normal like in the original Batman flicks?

Anyway, decent movie. Certainly doesn’t beat Iron Man though!

My XBox 360

It came back from the shop last week! Microsoft has removed its red ring of death with a nice shiney green ring of life!

It’s funny because when it was delivered, the UPS guy actually said “I’ve got an Xbox for you.” Guess they deliver that style of box quite a bit. >______>

Damn you Microsoft… you made the best system this product cycle, but also the most breakable!

Ok, I did want to move on to more Staccato-ey related business… but due to poor timing, I have to promote a whole bunch of new t-shirts instead. It’s a little embarassing having to promote these on the SUPER NEW STACCATO SITE WITH A WHOLE ONE COMIC, but well… Ninja-Bot sales are my primary source of income at the moment… and you know… my family likes to eat. >___>

With that said… here is the write-up I’ve been posting around some of my regular haunts:

Everyday people come to me saying, “Shawn, you’re pretty cool… is there some way I could give you a portion of my disposable income in exchange for awesome geeky t-shirts that will make me the envy of my uncultured neighborhood?” Well good news! Thanks to a twist of fate, I have a buttload of new shirt designs that are finally available for sale on the fabled “internets!

AWESOME NEW T-SHIRTS!

These shirts, which were forged in the firey depths of Blackrock Spire, provide the extreme stat boosts you need in today’s fast-paced leveling environment, while keeping the exterior of your body silky smooth to the touch. Couple all that with the wacky designs I’ve slapped on the front, and you’ve got a garment that simply CAN NOT BE BEAT.

Supplies are limited, so order now! My baby needs strained peas!
