What happened?

Damn, Feb of 2007....been a long time since I touched this. Well, a hell of a lot has changed since then, but I guess I'm still here. I don't I might use this to as kind of an online journal...I dunno. No job right now means lots of time, but I'm on borrowed internet(Thanks Harold).

I will however pimp out a source of great entertainment that I've recently discovered, and that is thatguywiththeglasses.com never have a seen such a gathering of funny and talented people. There's a lot of people that this site hosts but I do have a few recommendations

First off Doug Walker is 'that guy with the glasses' and owns the site, He does The Nostalgia Critic, Bum Reviews, and Ask that guy. The critic reviews the Mediocre, weird, and downright bad movies that he grew up with. The bum does recent movies, but in his own happy bum kind of way. Ask that guy is funny but wrong, you'd just have to see for yourself.

Second, Doug has a female counter-part and she is Lindsey Ellis - The Nostalgia chick. She usually handles the movies that girls grew up with and that Doug wouldn't be able to cover as he hadn't seen them. She is funny and very witty, a good recommendation for guys and gals both.

Third we Have the Spoony one aka Noah Antwiler. He's hosted on TGWTG.com site, but really to get the full Spoony experience head to The Spoony Experiment. This man is the king of snark and all things geek. There's so much I could recommend for this guy, but this would be a HUGE post if I listed everything, so for now I'll give you a few samples. For anyone who might not have seen New Moon as a great piece of film or maybe those of you have These are his thoughts on the movie, Anybody who hasn't seen it or die hard Twilight fans may want to avoid it...lots of spoilers ahead and well a man just beside himself. He's also does a series called Lets riff on Ripper (Warning! hardcore geek material ahead!) an old full motion video adventure game from the late nineties, in which records himself playing the game while giving Rifftrax-type commentary that is hilarious. He also did the same with Final Fantasy 8 and Swat 4(Scroll to the bottom of the page to get the first video in each series). Anyway as you might be able to to tell Spoony is one of my favorites.

Fourth We have Lewis Lovhaug aka Linkara, he does Atop the 4th wall. This is for all you comic book fans out there, this is where bad comics burn. He's taken on the likes of Rob Leifeld, Frank Miller and some of the most awesomely bad comics ever put to print.(I'm looking at you Superman at Earth's end) Just don't ask him what he thinks of Spiderman's deal with the devil...

Fifth and last but not least is Jason(don't know his last name) aka LordKat. He does a series Called Until We Win. Most all of us grew up with a Nintendo and remember how amazingly hard some of those old games were, hence the phrase was coined 'Nintendo Hard'. Well this man is just crazy enough and has LEGENDARY patience to show you how to beat these games without cheating or using save states. He's been having some computer problems here lately so send him some love if you like his stuff.

These are just my favorites and only represent a small portion that I've discovered from TGWTG.com, there are many more talented people hosted on that site.

Anyways thanks for reading this long winded post, and I hope someone reading this finds some great internet entertainment, I sure have.

Peace
