What Is A Sha-oo?
Hello there, cyberpunks. Im happy you stopped by Old Lee's blog. I have a few things to discuss wit-choo.
First off, i just wanna apologize to whoever used to read this, but stopped because i stopped. I took a break...like a long break from it all. But now im back, hopefully i wont get distracted anymore. So anyways, moving forward.
Ok, so i used to be excited about The Last Airbender, but, as it turns out, its a pile of hot, steamy crap. Its really sad because the show was so awesome, but the movie is terrible. I could go on for a very long time explaining all the things that made this movie fail, but ill narrow it down to three.
1. For some reason, M. Night Shamalama-ding-dong decided that the names of certain characters needed to be pronounced differently, probably because hes a douche. Like Aang, the main character, his name is pronounced "AH-ng" like the way the word "long" is said. Then we have Sokka, which, in the movie, is pronounced "Soaka" kinda like the way a british person would say "soaker." Then you have the way they say the word "Avatar." They say it "AH-vatar" which is just rediculous.
2. The acting is so bad that it borders on being classified as a fan-made movie. Like, im pretty sure this movie is gonna end the collective careers of every person in the whole picture. Im pretty sure if all the kids in my neighborhood got together to make an Avatar-based fan movie it would be better than the trash that Mr. M. Night Shupalupa-Poopypants decided to make. Grr..frustration.
3. The story is all over the place. Like, if youre going to make a movie of a beloved kids show you have two options. The first is that you stay completely true to the show and make as many details as possible coincide with the original production. The second is to change the story completely and make it your own thing. Being a horror/action/drama/weirdy kinda director, i would have expected Mr. M. Night Sham-Wow! to have taken the second approach.
So, thats that. I really didnt expect it to be a good movie, but i also didnt expect it to suck as badly as it did.
Well, i better stop here, mainly because i have a life and i want to other things with my day. But, have no fear, i will try to update more often. Sorry, master Yoda.
Ok, well bye.

TFU2 In Gamepro Magazine!
So I just got done reading a review of the Force Unleashed 2 in Gamepro, and it looks like it's going to be flipping amazing! They pretty much detailed like the first two missions and I will tell you about it right now:
****ATTENTION: SPOILER ALERT!****
Starkiller is a clone for sure, and the game starts off with Darth Vader going to Kamino to check on him. He walks in and Starkiller is in a prison cell, fighting against like a bunch of PROXY droids. Well one of them turns into Juno and he can't move himself to kill her and he doesn't know why.
So Darth Vader tells him that he is a clone of the original Starkiller and that they accelerated the cloning process to re-create him, but it has gone wrong for some reason and that's why he's having trouble with certain things. Darth Vader also reveals that there were a number of clones before him and that all the previous copies have gone mad (ooooh exciting!)
So Starkiller sees a force vision of when Vader betrayed and stabbed the original Starkiller in the first game, and he basically breaks out of the cloning facility, steals Vaders TIE fighter, and leaves Kamino.
He later finds out that General Rahm Kota (from the first game) is being held captive by some imperial guy on Cato Nemoidia, so he goes there to save him. He ends up having to fight in like a gladiatorial arena (like what was in the trailer) for seven days. At the end of the seven days (and after fighting the Gorog, the big thing from the trailer) he ends up saving Kota and escaping on the Rogue Shadow.
Once aboard, Kota cant believe he really is a clone because no ones ever successfully cloned a jedi. Starkiller asks what to do next and Kota makes a joke about how he should go and meditate on Kashyyyk or Dagobah, and for some reason that piques Starkillers interest, but he doesnt know why it is so important or why it resonates with him.
So he plots a course for Dagobah. Once there Kota tells him to go into the "cave of evil," as he calls it. Inside the cave he sees visions of himself reaching out and begging for help. The article says he has the opportunity to strike them down or not to, but he ends up choosing not to, basically realizing that his first response should not be to lash out, i guess.
He then sees a vision of Juno as a captain of a starship under attack and he sees her die, then she disappears. Thats where the description of the game ends. No word on if Yoda will be on Dagobah, but his voice is heard in the trailer, so im guessing its plausible to assume.
But it does go on to talk about how much more mature the game will be, stating that theyre trying to get the ESRB to let them do some things that are pretty nasty. Im guessing they want to do some dismemberment this time around. Which would only make sense, because youre using a LIGHTSABER to fight with. Actually two this time around!! And they amped up the physics and junk too.
All in all this game looks like its gonna kick major butt.
I cant wait. It said the game will be released on October 26th. So mark your calendar and start saving. Haha!!

Squircles: Square Circles
Attention:
I have some treats for you today. Basically, this guy who makes comics for the newspaper, Dan Pirero i think is his name, is a genius. His comics are totally funny and usually dont really have anything to do with anything. Here i have picked out a few of my favorites to share with you. His comics are really great. Check it out:
Haha! See? My favorites are the first one and the last two, they just make me giggle.
Aslo the artist who makes these hides secret things in each one. Like theres a slice of pie, a bird, TNT, and some other things hidden, but theyre not really hard to find.
Anyway, you should check him out. Google his name or something. No, i wont do it for you! Does my web address say "www.DangerousLeeHarrisWillFulfillYourWildestDreamsForLooseChange.blogspot.com"? I think not. But that would be funny if it did. Ha!
Dismissed.

Play That Funky Music, Caucaisan Young Adult
Hey all you people. It has been like forever, but i have a huge dump of pictures to unload on you, so you should be excited. First off id like to thank Geekologie for being so good at doing my job. Once again, this is another reason why out-sourcing is a good idea. Why do youre job when someone else can do it for you? Ha! Anyway, lets get to it.
This picture is of a caution label on a lazy-person lawn mower where i work. It obviously tells you not to get to close to the blades and yaddi yadda. But a guy i work with, we'll call him "Justin Yerges" for right now, said that this sign makes him think, "Caution: standing too close to mower will cause spontaneus break-dancing." Classic misrepresentation. I have never wanted to dance near those mowers. Shame shame.
Ooh! This ones great and is kind of like those "I Spy" books from when i was a kid. This lady i worked with was leaving forever and everyone signed this shirt so i took the opportunity to do a little shirt-vandalism. Ill just say this: when you see it, youll crap bricks. Ill let you find what im talking about. Its along the whole "Lees awesome" line of thinking. :D
This is a pretty cool picture i thought. It was in a book full of pictures like this, only with other foods too. I saw it at Barnes & Noble, if you were wondering.
These are my sisters and my lego characters from the lego Star Wars game (yes, that is a completely correct sentence, despite sounding weird.) Im the one on the right, fyi. Crazzy right!? Ha!
I must remember to play this! Theres a scummy truck stop gas station out by the interstate where i live and as you exit the restroom, or as i like to call it "The Hole," theres a small arcade and they have the Terminator Salvation game in it. The guns are sweet on it, but i didnt take thier picture. Up top theres an ominous T-800 looking down, disapprovingly staring at you. But that just makes me want to play it even more!
This is me being silly on a swingset. I should probably spruce this one up and make it look cooler.
There we go. Much better. One time while i was swinging on a swingset at my old elementery school, this guy shot lasers at me, but it was ok because i had my lightsaber and deflected them while things were blowing up left and right around me. But im so cool that i didnt even break my stride. And somebody was there to capture that exact moment. My life is like a box of comic books.
I think thats all i got for right now. Thats not as much as i thought itd be. But its more than it has been in a while. So you see? Geekologie hasnt put me completely out of business. Old General Lee cant be beat that easy! Ha!
Ok, well until next time, im Lee and this has been my blog that will kick you in the face.
T-800 says, "Bye!"
