A review of the Gears of War Marcus Fenix action figure from NECA.
I know my video reviews are usually better quality with music, graphical overlaps and better sound quality, but I shot it while having a 101.4 fever and was really in no mood or condition to to some major fixing in post production.
Sorry folks, next time I’ll have a cleaner presentation.
4. Triple H
Triple H has been on Raw for years and its about time that he or WWE decided that he needed to switch brands, even if it only ends up being for a little while. Those without cable will finally get to experience Triple H for the first time in years and it will seem fresh to them. Triple H also gets to lead some talent that he has never had the chance to, which will hopefully result in something positive.
3. CM Punk
It was pretty obvious that Punk was going to get drafted to either Smackdown or Raw and Raw seems to be the better choice here. There are plenty of people he can have matches with to boost his status and eventually cash in his Money In the Bank contract. Punk is solid at live events so the switch to live TV won’t be a problem for him.
2. Jeff Hardy
Jeff has had a tough year already and moving him from Raw to Smackdown may seem like a demotion to him, but this is for the best. There are plenty of people for him to work with in his weight class and he could end up being being a Smackdown champion easily. After all, the Great Khali was a world champ.
1. Mike Dynomite
Backstage rumors are already spinning that as soon as this young man was drafted to the Raw roster, Triple H immediately handed him the WWE Championship. If this is true, Dynomite can prove right off the bat that he’s World class material by beating John Cena at Night of Champions with nothing more than a Subway sandwich with bad tomatoes. Shortly after he can challenge former undisputed champion Chris Jericho to a match and actually prove that Y2J is in fact nothing more than a punching bag. Ultimately, my prediction is that he will hold the belt as long as next year’s Wrestlemania and face his most difficult match yet against Cody Rhodes…I mean if he can make that match look good then he really is awesome.
Holy hell, that was actually a pretty good 3 hour Raw. The show ended with Edge winning the battle royal for his brand and securing two talents for Smackdown: Triple H and Mr. Kennedy. I don’t really believe that HHH is going to Smackdown because if you remember he was drafted years ago only to be traded back to Raw for three Raw superstars post draft. For the most part though they really did some awesome changes and the ending with the stage falling down on Vince McMahon was far more realistic then his famous limo explosion of doom.
Here where my live twitter results as the show aired:
Wow…that was a hell of a way to end raw…much more realistic then last year’s limo explosion.

On one of my regular visits to the Bungie.net I noticed something missing immediately: The Bungie Store. A place where one could find some very awesome Halo collectable’s, was no longer anywhere to be found on the website. After using Google to look it up, I was met with this at the entrance to the shop.
So…the Bungie Store will be coming back, but to what degree? I wouldn’t expect much in the line of Halo stuff, now that Microsoft owns the rights to produce everything. I could be wrong, but if that wasn’t the case then there would be no reason for Bungie to close the existing store. So anything you bought from the store in the last 4 years could have just increased in value! My only regret was that I wasn’t able to get that last mylar print they released..
A new remix is available to download today. This is my remix of Granturismo’s "Them and Me and You" and you can download it in high quality MP3 below.
Due to not having access to any of the original recording, I put everything together from scratch, including the vocals.
My remix of this song will also be on the next N+ Music Pack! Enjoy!
Ever have a super sweet collection of MP3’s backed up on a disk and lose them? I lost a crap load of stuff I had in high school as well as tons of actual store bought compact discs and vinyl and though I’ve recovered most of the songs in either actual physical form or digital form, there are some missing and the above mentioned track happens to be one of them.
Hear Me was a freaking awesome progressive house/trance song made by Mark James and Mike Truman (Of Hybrid fame) that contained some very cool female vocal samples saying "See me, feel me, hear me, love me, touch me". Not only was the vocal quite beautiful but it contained some very beautiful strings sounds in it.
I want it.
I can’t find it.
Its no where on the freaking internet to buy digitally.
So if you happen to have this track…..PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Maybe some of my long time buddies have it on a MP3 collection CD, maybe they don’t. I don’t know. I just know that I want to hear it again.
Gears of War toys are finally arriving in stores and on eBay! I was all fired up to pick a few of them up when I found out that NECA is releasing the toys in a boxed set as well! Check it out!
The pack should be hitting shelves soon!
A few weeks ago, I reported that the Halo Laser Tag Plasma Sword was no more due to a few safety issues and other things. Many of you expressed your sadness to the fact that this wonderful weapon would not be coming out and after thinking about the sword for a few minutes, I realized something.
Almost a year ago, I remember reading some news at Toy Bender that Master Replicas recently acquired the rights to make Halo merch. Later that year, Master Replica’s released mini scale version of the assault riffle and the Carbine and it sold decently; but then silence. The silence was then broken at this year’s U.S. Toy Fair that Master Replica’s was in fact making their own Plasma Sword and here’s some awesome proof!
The sword does in fact look pretty bad ass, though I can’t seem to find any details about a release date, price or anything else for that matter. I would imagine they may release info on it at Comic Con, but I have very limited knowledge of places where toy announcements are made.
That would be more of a question to ask our buddy Paul over at Toy Bender! They just recently made a good ranking in the top 100,000 websites of the Internet and that is one awesome accomplishment! Congrats Paul!
We are spending some time up in Lake Geneva and one of my absolute favorite places to visit is this candy shop/arcade that is located right off the corner of one of the many lake piers. I know there is a small amount of modern arcades across of America and there is a even smaller amount of arcades that have classic machines. This is one of those places! Its filled to the brim with old pin ball machines and arcade cabinents from the 70, 80 and 90’s. Classics like Joust, Pac-Man, Street Fighter and more fill its halls with old school goodness. I love arcades because it reminds me of my Mom and Dad taking me to the arcade when I was very little. The lights and even the smell of the electronics takes me back to those days where I use to pound on buildings in Rampage. It also reminds me that a few years later after that, I was pounding the hell out of people in Street Fighter 2; creating long lines of very angry, older teens who wanted to kick my ass because they spent about 15 dollars trying to beat me. Even more satisfying was looking down a few machines away and seeing my little brother do the exact same thing to people on the same game.
I love arcades. I only hope that in the future if I do have kids, they will still be around to show my children.
Alright, so you asked. I thought about it. More people asked, so I thought about it more and started thinking of songs to mix. So 1 hour later, I bring you Limelight Mix #7.
Now, its been awhile since I’ve mixed, so some of it may be kinda rough, but you should still get some enjoyment out of it.
Limelight Mix #7 – Download – 82 Meg.
Let me know what you think, I’d like to know how rusty I sound.
