Midnight Club: Los Angeles Info and New Screens Shots

Gamepot.com posted some new info a Midnight Club: Los Angeles today.  It is sounding pretty good.  The new screens shots look good too. Here is an excerpt from the gamespot.com article.

“We got to see three different racing styles during our time with the game. The most prominent was the standard race, where you compete against four other racers through a series of checkpoints. We also played through a couple of red light races–one-on-one point-to-point races where the idea is to find the quickest route to the finish line. The final racing style we saw was the dynamic freeway race, where you compete against one other racer at speed on the motorways surrounding LA. The traffic on the freeway means that you have to weave much more than in the city centre, but some stretches do allow you to open up the throttle and get up a decent amount of speed.”

A few screen shots.  More here.

18th Atlantic Regional H.O.G. Rally

This past weekend or so (July 16-20th) was the 18th Atlantic Regional H.O.G rally.  Which took place in Cape Breton this year.  Ok, first off I don’t ride a Harley.  I ride a Yamaha XT225.   So  here is a funny story.  I was on my way into town to hand out with some friends and check out some of the rally events.  As I was riding in, six Harley’s pasted by me in the out side lane.  Then they had to slow down for cars turning.  I passed them.  They they crack the pipes as they pass me again.  They kept doing this every time they had to slow down.  Each time they would look over at an crack there pipes.  Funny has hell.  The best part is I got there before they did. LOL.

There would be some pictures, but I forgot my camera.

Harsh Realm DVD Review

I picked up the box set of Harsh Realm the other day.  I was a fan of this show when it came out way back in 1999.  I really liked, so it had to be cancelled after 3 shows.  So when I saw the box set I had to buy it.  There is 9 episodes in total.  And each one of them is great.  I still wished the showed lasted.  It is so much better than a lot of show that are on now or were on way back in 1999.  They had a lot of great action scenes.

One of the best shows that didn’t last.  And it a great value on DVD. Found it for $15.  Give it a  watch.

Burnout: 2002 Dodge Dakota

Here is the video of Mark doing some burnouts from the other day.  Posted the pictures a few days back.  Filmed this with my digital camera.  There is better quality video on Mark’s DVD video camera.  Once I get that footage, I’ll post that too.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army Review

Went to see the new Hellboy movie last night.  I really liked it.  The action was great.  But I think the best parts are the comedy scenes.  They are funny as hell.  There is a lot more CGI this time around.  The only thing I didn’t like was it seemed a bit too long.  I know is is a short review, can’t think of any thing else to say.

A great movie.  Give it a watch.

E3 2008

E3 2008 stared today.  I love when this show comes around.  Get to see all the great up coming games.  G4TV.com has alot of good stuff.  They are all so broadcasting live from the show floor.  In I am watching it right on.  This year G4 has a lot more hands on demo’s.  Which is pretty slick.   Of course gamespot.com has some of the best coverage.  They are all so have a shows from the floor too.  The Official E3 website has lots of stuff too.  It a great spot to check out the “big” three’s press conferences.

Big Brother 10

Season 10 of the U.S. version of Big Brother started last night.  It was pretty good.  They seem to take it back to they way it used to be.  The last few season there were this big twits.  Like people knowing each other or secret people.  The house this time around is pretty slick.  It has a old car theme with a 50’s dinner style kitchen.  Of course they picked “house guest’s” that will have some kind of conflicted based on there backgrounds.

Being from Canada, we can not view some of the videos on the America website.  Which sucks if you missed an episode.  How ever GlobalTV.com lets you watch them.

Superhero Movie Review

Just finished watching Superhero Movie.  Its was one of those spoof comedy films.  Has you might have guessed they spoof superhero movies.  They mostly rip off Spiderman.  I wasn’t going to watch this at first because I thought it was going to be another one of those stupid teen/sex crap movies.  Thankfully it is not.  It more like the Naked Gun movies. With all the physical comedy, but with less wit.  There are some funny bits.  Most of the jokes have been done a thousand times before.

Its worth a rent if there is nothing else there.
