Review – Motorola X205 Xbox 360 Headset
I made a recent Woot.com purchase of this headset simply for the fact that it was a Xbox 360  accessory and it was very, very inexpensive.  It was so cheap, at a price of $3.99, that I felt the need to buy two just to justify the $5.00 shipping.  I don't think I even stopped to really read the description or even the picture. I eventually received both headsets, or this article obviously wou...

Nyko Apologized To Me
Just last week I got a little angry that Nyko Lied To Me since they goofed up when I asked them about a pre-order item from BestBuy.com. Last night I received a direct Twitter message from them stating: "We have seen your blog post and would like to apologize for the confusion. We were going by BestBuy.com's description and NOT the SKU number. We should have checked the SKU number, and for ...

Movie Review – The Informant!

Posted By: Snorkle256 on September 10, 2009 in Movies, Reviews - Comments: No Comments »

Just got back in from a screening of The Informant! and boy was I surprised by this movie.  Based on the previews, I was honestly left with the impression that this movie was going to be strictly comedy.  Little did I know that, with the exception to some humourous moments, I would be witnessing a Hollywood Style documentary.  This movie is one of those true stories that gets retold via the big screen.  Yep, the events that are portrayed in the film actually did happen.  Needless to say I don’t think I have seen Matt Damon is such a serious role.  Yeah, He really pulled this one off.

If you were thinking you’d like to see this movie I would say that you would be sitting through 108 minutes of quality and not even realize the time.  Woo!

The Hangover – Movie Review

Posted By: Snorkle256 on June 3, 2009 in Movies, Reviews - Comments: 1 Comment »

Short Version: This movie kicks ass, go see it!

Long Version: The Hangover has all the plot of Dude Where’s My Car, all the antics of Old School and all the class of Ocean’s Eleven.

Even though this is Doug’s wedding, forget Doug, he’s not there. Alan, Phil, and Stu managed to loose him after the groups ends up drugged out of their minds to the point where the night isn’t even a blur anymore.

How many things did these guys end up with anyways? Mike Tyson’s tiger, a police car, and a baby?

All I can truly say is that this movie is sick, raunchy and tasteless; all in an incredible awesome way. They went there!

Oh, and be sure to stick around after the movie to see a few pictures from their crazy night and something else; What is it? Not even I know as they shut the movie off before it happened.

Do yourself a favor and go see this movie!

A Family Re-Union

Posted By: Snorkle256 on March 3, 2009 in Life, Movies, News, Xbox - Comments: No Comments »

Not too long ago, the household friend died on us. The burning stench of flesh coursed through the air as the red light flickered through the smoke. Yes, the 360 had fallen ill with the 3 Red Rings. The coffin was prepped and sent back to its maker. For the last two weeks I’ve sat in anticipation waiting for the fix to be applied and the return of the console. Today is the bright spot on the calendar, the day the 360 came home. The only problem, I was not there to receive it into my open arms, to hug it tight and spread my tears over it. I was afraid when I first heard it was coming back. I was afraid that no one would be there to sign for it and it would spend a cold night in storage. Thank god for a roommate who was not working and pretended to be me. He even hooked it up and held the phone to the tv’s speakers so I could hear that wonderful voice announcing it was indeed healthy. Oh how it pains me that I will not be home right away today. Instead I’ve gained a pass to see Watchmen before it even releases. I’ve mixed feelings; on one hand my pride and joy is at home waiting for my touch, but on the other hand I get a once in a lifetime chance at a sneak peak at an exciting movie.

Sorry 360, I’ve waited two weeks for you, you can wait a few hours for me…

Rise of Taj: Review

Posted By: Snorkle256 on December 1, 2006 in Movies, Reviews - Comments: No Comments »

First of all, the theater sucked. The Pavilion at Crossroads Mall was overpriced for their food, it was $15 for two sodas, a pretzel and a hot dog. If I were in the area I hope I would never have to buy a ticket because who knows what those prices are. The seats are too small and some of them are broken. There is a cup holder everyother seat so I’m sure people fight over those when its a busy season.

The movie in my opinion was great, but that scores a 1 out of 4 considering Sara and my friends thought it sucked as much as the theather. When you go to this movie be prepared to hear Van’s name, but never see him. Its not about Van Wilder as much as it is Taj. Nation Lampoon would have probably done better by just calling it “Rise of Taj” as not to disapoint everyone. If you like British humour you will find that this movie is a half/half mix along with American humour. IE: Playing with swords (Their Penis) vs DirehaFace.

On the plus side, the mall that The Pavilion is in contains a lazer tag court, $5 per game. Gonna hit that up some time.

So remember, Rise of Taj scored 1 out of 4.
