Cloverfield Sequel will Likely Happen
FEAR.net had an interview with Cloverfield’s new golden-boy director, Matt Reeves, in which they asked about a sequel. Reeves commented on how much fun they had with the movie and as far as a sequel was concerned: We’ll just have to see, we’ll have to see whether or not anyone would even want a sequel. We’ll [...]

23. January 2008
Following up with our previous tip about keeping windows from “rotting”, Grant Gochnauer sends in another great tip from the ShippingSeven blog for recovering a really fuck-up Windows install without reinstalling. There are actually two tips, and they are: Try logging off, then back on instead of rebooting. Try backing up your data and then erasing [...]

NOTE: For those of you that don’t watch Lost and can’t understand what all the craze behind Cloverfield’s story is (why not just watch the movie and be done with it?) it’s because when J.J. Abrams creates a story, he sort of creates a fake world around the story (of fake companies, stories, backstory, etc.) [...]

Grant Gochnauer just sent in the shocking news that Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment (say he died at 3:26pm)… no cause of death given yet, but a “cardiac arrest call” was called into the station at 2:27pm. Update #1: TMZ has more details. The maid and masseuse found him in cardiac [...]

Holy piss-goblins… World of Warcraft officially passed the 10 million player mark. Let’s break that down… 10,000,000 x $15/mo = $150,000,000/mo 150,000,000 x 12 months = $1,800,000,000 Umm… this game makes Blizzard almost $2 billion a year. I think… yep… that’s more than I make right now. I think the US Govt should retire the Fed and just use [...]

22. January 2008
I didn’t care about this story until I read Mike Wilson’s reply to John Romero’s initial burn… and then I pictured Romero’s face melting off with the 3rd degree trauma-burn that Wilson leveled against him, and thought it was hilariously worth posting (Thanks to VE3D for summing it all up nicely!). Quick back story… Remember Doom? John [...]

22. January 2008
NOTE: I have tried to keep spoilers to a bear minimum (or not at all) in the main review. The “Areas of Improvement” section does contain spoilers and is marked as such. Summary [7.5 out of 10] Cloverfield is a suspenseful, well-paced, believably portrayed recounting of a group of friends during an epic monster attack on Manhattan. [...]

I got the screen above today when I was goofing around with XviD4PSP 5.0… not too shabby, it’s almost 2200% done processing my file. That’s a lot of… done. On a more serious note, I don’t think this program expects you to ever try and resample a DVD for your PSP… just opening a movie file [...]

Sometimes… not all the time, but some times I’ll get in a mood where my st00p1d levels are through the roof, and I just want to talk gibberish/nonsense with someone. It’s times like these that you really value your good friends that tollerate you when you get like this. Here’s an example conversation I just had: [...]

21. January 2008
If you went and saw Cloverfield this weekend (lucky!) you may have stayed through the credits and heard the scratch “Help Us” at the end… Dave Bullock sent in the scoop that if played backwards it sounds like “It’s still alive!”, check it out. I’m not sure if I buy this… they sound very different to [...]

20. January 2008
Don’t know how many boxing fans are out there, but Roy Jones took a unanimous decision win over Felix Trinidad Saturday night (Jan 19th) after knocking him down in the 7th and 10th rounds. The consensus seems to be that while both fighters were well past their primes (by about 5 years each) and Trinidad came [...]
