Oh Snap the movies of 2013!

in , ,

So you all know I'm a big "nerd" some might even say "geek". I love my comic book movies and sci-fi movies! So when the new "Star Trek Into Darkness" trailer came out I was so excited!! I was even to the point of making sure this was one of the few films I made sure I got off my lazy butt and will go to see, no playing WOW or MWO!!

It seems the movie studios have had a thing that they call good timing because I have two, that's right two more movies to drool at while making time fly at work! "After Earth" with Will Smith and son  Jaden Smith take on a earth that let's just say doesn't much like humans anymore, I think this might be another good example of how if your genes are good you can work together? I know I'm shoveling pretty deep here but this look on par with their other movie, "The pursuit of Happiness" 

I'm also checking out this "Man of Steel" thing that looks like a Superman movie, yeah I know what it is, but it's a different way of telling this story I'm just jumping out of my blue and red tights to see this. Note: I have never worn these to work and will not so don't ask! On a happier note I think I can be sure this is a Superman that will be looked upon for many many days to come.

Oh Snap Ready Player One by Ernest Cline!

Ok I know I don't get to just write a blog post like i used to do. In fact my pod cast is now my weekly stream of thought, but today I have my youngest son at home and I find myself with some time to write. between diaper changes and naps I will tell you all about a book I read though www.audible.com called "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. First break, man what did I feed that kid, ok back to "Ready Player One" This is were I gloat about being born in 74, loving the 80's as a child and finding the first sci-fi book that made me feel like, the holding on I've done to that era, the trying to find that childhood spark, well in a few words is ok!!

Mr. Cline paints two futrue worlds, one of depair and the other the virtual world of OASIS. In OASIS you can be whoever you want, and look however you want. This is the parrell drawn from today's internet and mmo games, which I've played a few. ( WOW, STO, WOT) The Delevolper, James Halliday, a 8o's geek/Fan and one of the richest man on the planet,  dies and revels he has left an "easter egg" in the game which will give the finder all of his riches, which is great because OASIS has become a global engine for replacing common wealth. So if you have credits in the game  you can transfer them to the real world and get paid!! Parzival is the first to get to the frist of three keys that open three gates.  After that his world is not the same, but you need to read the book to find out more.

I really recommend this read either by audio book or papperback, especially if your like me and love Godzilla, War Games, Big Trouble in Little China, A Clockwork Orange, Ghostbusters,Pac-man, Tempest, Zork.

I think you get what I'm saying, also it's being written into a movie.

 

I love this book!

Get it here @ www.audible.com or here www.amazon.com

Oh Snap what to do!

in ,
I'm trying to keep this writing my daily thoughts down but work keeps getting in the way! How can I just keep an eye on the news I need to fuel my art when there is a no social web policy at work! I can't even go to google reader and star items for later, all I can do is walk around the build I work at and take down these notes and hope someone will want to watch my show later this week! Please watch "Oh Snap" to see me and my wife fight about if it's my house or her house!

Oh Snap I really don't give a...

I know this is not my normal tone in these blog posts but I'm so medicated rigt now! Allergies are just in full swing with no end in sight. It's like if some one tried to pinch my nose, kick me in the head and make me smoke a pack a day! So I'm just telling my allergies, " I really don't give a shit!" I'm going to be ok and I'll get better, maybe, I hope!
I hope I can do the show today in a medicated state that would make the show a great mismatch for random ramblings!

See y'all tonight!

Oh Snap what I would like!

Oh snap I've gotten into the habit of just taking my iPhone out and just typing on my notes app. This seems to help me collect my thoughts and focus on writing. Now of just putting my thoughts down I need to focus on writing stories that bring , you the reader news!
More to come, but until then, let's talk about a game I can't talk about.( still under NDA!)
I really like this game it has some if what WOW was missing! Like voice acting for everything and I mean everything! NPC's that you pass by just start talking it's great!
There is so much I can't say nut trust me the game with no name will be a good one!

Oh snap I'm ready to go home!

in ,
Sitting at work, trying to think of if to make, "Oh Snap!" a weekly or biweekly show! I can't produce this show sitting at my desk at work. I have tried to email myself stories, but that is the long way to do this. Yes I do use google reader and "star"stories but that doesn't help when my work browser is IE6!
Well I guess I can just write down what I'm thinking about and post it on my blog until I can get insync with my news collection process!
This post brought to you benadryl for spacing out my mind!! Peace all!!

Oh Snap I'm addicted to a game that is in beta?

in , ,
That's right I've been beta testing a mmorpg that may or my not be released by the end if the year and I'm already showing signs of addiction for the game!
How am I hooked on an unfinished game, can this be the "superbeing" of games or am I just a mmorpg fiend!
Since the NDA has not been lifted I can only say more to come, and bring a towel!
