My Take on the Superbowl Ads

Alright! Go Saints! Woo!. Sorry, I didn’t watched the Super Bowl, however I, did watched the commercials and I have to say that this year they were pretty disappointing.  Seeing how this is the only day that people actually WANT to watch the commercials, I wanted to see how companies would try to entertain us on the most expensive 30 seconds of their life. Don’t get me started on the 1 minute lengths!!

According to USA Today the most popular commercial was the Snickers commercial featuring Betty White and Abe Vigoda. However, this commercial was far from being entertaining; in fact, it was quite boring. Here take a look:

Now, I will give it to Betty White because she is just funny without trying. However, this particular was not her forte.

Needless to say, not all commercials were bad. There were a couple few good ones. Here is a list of my favorite ones:

• The Doritos Samurai
• The Doritos Underdog
• The Last Airbender Trailer
• Robin Hood Trailer
• Alice in Wonderland Trailer
• E-Trade

Introductions are in order!

Hey all, thought my first post as an editor should be some sort of introduction, so here I am. My name is Mason, and I am 18 years of age. I love baseball, but don’t follow it, I ride BMX every chance I get, and I play a LOT of video games. Coincidentally, I also love to read and write.

Now, you may be asking yourselves: “Okay, well Joel and Barbara already cover most of the subjects of entertainment, what could this “Mason” bring to the table that they don’t already?”

I’ll simply reply; “Well, he doesn’t do video games now does he?” So, there you have it. I will be doing reviews on video games, video game updates for up and coming titles, looks into MLG (Major League Gaming), tips and tricks, indie games, etc. Gaming as a whole is my palette in which to write on, which is pretty exciting for a big nerd like me.

However, this doesn’t exclusively mean I will only write about gaming. I may blog, or take requests from readers at times, so if you have something you’d like my take on let me know, as I am more than happy to give my opinion on things. I’ll also be talking about what music I’m listening to, and I’ll recommend music based on my tastes (Since they’re probably different than most, and completely random…) Right now though, I want to focus on game reviews, so gimme some suggestions! (Please? =P)

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see many readers interested!

The Giant Ipod!

The wait is over!!! The Giant iPod is here! Oh! Sorry… my mistake, the “iPad”. Today, I think Apple made a fool of themselves by showcasing a giant iPhone as a next-gen Tablet PC. Many waited over the hype of what would be the next move of Apple in order to take control of many industries and many were disappointed — myself included –. I remember hearing about it a few months back that Apple would launch a new tablet PC that was all touch. I was impressed and wanted to see what this new piece of hardware would do. However, I think the photoshopped images that circulated around were more appealing than today’s announcement.

Get this. The gadget is basically a giant iPhone! or iPod Touch (since it doesn’t have camera, nor can make calls). It runs the iPhone OS system and all the apps for the iphone work on this device.. the Difference? The size! Instead of watching it in a tiny 3 inch screen, you get to watch it in a 9.7 inch screen! However, in every other matter it is still the same as an iPhone or iPod. Some of the non-existent features are among not having a camera, you can’t change the battery, it STILL can’t play Flash Websites, etc. However, is not all bad in this new reveal because they also showcased a new app called “iBooks” (Gee..How original) Basically is an e-reader in order to compete with the Kindle. However, it still does the same; except it looks fancier.

One good thing came out of this and it was the name and how it was used. The first joke to hit twitter was a trending topic named: “iTampon”. I bursted out laughing and had to say what it would be its punchline: “The iTampon… a great gift for the girl in need!” Also a fan page was created and quickly began gaining fans called: “The iPad is just a massive iPod”

If you want one the 16GB model, it will cost you $499 with ONLY Wi-Fi! If you want it with a 3G connectivity, then you have two options. First, buy a USB 3G drive to plug it in for $60 + $29.99/month (for the unlimited data plan) or you can get one with 3G integrated for $629+ $29.99/month (unlimited AT&T Data Plan). Now, would you get one? This brings me back to when the MacBook Air was released; it was a waste of time and basically you were burning $1299 for a laptop that need to be connected to everything in order to just “do” something. What are your thoughts on this epic FAIL?

I hate Handicap Permits and Fat People!!!

No, I do not hate them. But this Fan Page is going to stir some controversy as people get to know it. This page was created by a user who feels that some people who are obese are taking advantage of the handicap permit just because they are lazy. Therefore, real people who have a handicap can’t have the parking spot they rightfully deserve. In the page he explains in the discussion section why he created the page. Although many won’t like it he does bring a good point of people who take advantage in order to be lazy, because it’s just sad.

I do acknowledge that it’s a bit of an extreme but hey in the internet you get your voice out no matter what.. Am I Right? What do you think? do you agree?

Good Bye NBC…Hello $33 Mil.

Well it’s true and inevitable, Conan is leaving the Tonight Show. However, this wasn’t because he wanted to, this was because he stood up for what was right. Today the Tonight Show host bid adieu to NBC by closing out an exit deal for $45 Million in the process. Conan will be able to go for other networks who will enjoy having him (I hear News Corp [FOX] wants him) after his contract and relation ends with NBC (if it ends). The show is rumored that will

However, Conan didn’t kept the $45 Million to himself. He will get $33 out of the 45 (which is still very very good) and the rest will be divided around his crew of 200. Meanwhile Jay will return to the Tonight Show and the Jay Leno Show will be erased off the map.

Now, I don’t blame Leno and I don’t think anyone should blame Leno for this ridiculously bad judgment from NBC. They made the decisions to do all of this and they are the ones that are destroying what was once a good entertainment channel. What do you think about all this late night drama?

Hayden Panettiere is Red! Her hair that is…

Just as the title is cliche, so is her do! I’ve never found Hayden to be pretty enough but to tell you the truth she looks better with blond hair. However, who am I to judge?! I bet to you, now most celebrities who once decided to go blond — and frankly looked bad — will go Red!

Yahoo OMG! posted the news about her debuting her red hair, but apparently she is also debuting a new guy. Now I don’t know about this stuff but I could say that this has been a week of change for Hayden. Her character turns lesbian with the help of Sylar and now this!? Are these all signs of the Apocalypse? I don’t know. I do know one thing, this red hair… is a big turn off.

Conan Tells NBC to SUCK IT

After much debate, NBC decided to give Jay Leno The Tonight Show back. Conan O’Brien is understandably not happy. He released a statement earlier today saying he wouldn’t participate in the destruction of The Tonight Show:

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVR’s and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.

So I guess in NBC’s eyes, that means that Conan was quitting because they just released a statement saying that they are giving Leno his old show back:

We’re told NBC honchos still have to sit down with Jay’s rep and put the finishing touches on a new deal, but NBC has signed off on the plan if Conan O’Brien leaves … and Conan has made it clear that he’s leaving the network, and not on good terms.

Of course he is not leaving on good terms NBC; you just raped him of all his hopes and dreams. What I want to know is how the hell did Jimmy Fallon come out of this shit storm smelling like rose?

The Hero of Time: A Legend of Zelda Movie

Caution: Long Post Ahead: What?! A Legend of Zelda Movie? Is this a Joke? Is this like the prank IGN did in April Fools? Nop! Ladies and gentlemen this is actually a true full feature film based of the Legend of Zelda. However, don’t let this fool you, it may be a full feature film, but it is still a fan-made movie, which means they didn’t had no budget (or a very small budget) to create the movie. I was able to catch this movie and now I finally write you this review of it. Because, I think the time spent on this movie deserves a little attention. (more…)

Jay Leno Goes Back to 11:35 Time Slot

Buh Bye Conan! After the Olympics, Jay Leno is going back to his former 11:35 spot. His show will be cut down to a half hour. Conan O’Brien will be moved to 12:05, and Jimmy Fallon to 1:05. NBC said “they are committed to keeping Conan O’Brien on NBC…”

Well NBC, that 10:00 time slot was short lived.
