New Halo 3 Trailer!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

As the title implies there is a new Halo 3 trailer. There are several details I'd like to mention. Let me start with a screenshot:

Watch The Video Before Anything Else... Don't Worry... I'll Wait...

Here's A Link To The Windows Media Version
And Here's A Link To The Flash Version

Freakin' Awesome Right? Here's Some Tiny Details You Might Not Have Noticed:

1. Approximately 28.557 seconds into the trailer you can hear a barely audible childs voice say

"Time To Go..." right before you hear the incoming radio transmission.

Link To Sound Clip: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/63052/timetogo.wav


2. Right after the child's voice finishes (29.187 Seconds) you hear Cortana's voice saying "chief... leave...". This deepens the mystery of the AI who when we last saw her in Halo 2, was in the clutches of "Gravemind". The way she says it almost sounds like a cry for help...

Link To Sound Clip: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/63052/chiefleave.wav


3. (40-45 Seconds Into The Video) Woo-Hoo! New Gadget (Here's To Hoping It Will Be In The Game)! For Lack Of A Better (And More Official Sounding) Name I Dub It... The "Porta-Shield"... Here Is A Screenshot:



4. (52 Seconds Into The Video) The amount of enemies Master Chief is facing.... Is Amazing:

By My Count:

12 Brutes
1 Hunter
And 6 Wraiths

Damn! Here Are Some Screenshots:

5. (0 Seconds Into Possibly The Best Video Ever Made) Sorry to backtrack but I just realized the that this needs to be said. I don't have my Halo novels with me right now but the children talking at the beginning of the video are probably John (aka "Master Chief") and a female Spartan. Before you say "Wait a minute! Don't they know about the Covenant?" you'll remember if you've read the novels that the Spartan 2 program was started because of the rebel uprising... Not the covenant. So that's John as a kid. Just thought that was important.... As it's the first time we get to look behind the mask.

Flash Animations

Just A Couple Of Flash Animations I Did:

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving (For US)! Happy Getting Rid Of Us (Britain)!

On this day I like to imagine that Iran Isn't preparing to nuke us (or North Korea... Or Both). I like to pretend that the magnificent symbolism of Plymouth Rock Isn't ruined by the fact that it wasn't even recognized as important until the early 1900's when they found a large rock in a public dump about 4 miles from the coast and decided that it should become famous... Yeah... Thank God for imagination.

James Bond Is: The Product Placer

So, by now everybody's heard of the new James Bond Film "Casino Royale". Anyone who hasn't should be immediately shot, at the very least. I was originally opposed to the movie (Bond is NOT blond you Assholes!!!). But soon enough the sweet smell of popcorn lured me to the movie theater. I had no other choice....

All in all it was a very good movie. It had the booms, the girls, the drama. But the product placements in this movie were out of control! In the first 30 minutes Ford, Virgin Atlantic, Sony, Kia, and Land Rovers were advertised. These weren't hidden or sneaky in any way. These were in your face, can't miss it advertisements (Not as bad as the Fantastic 4 movie mind you, but still pretty bad.)

Boycott RIAA And MPAA

The MPAA Has Started A Program That Gives Out Merit Badges To Boy Scouts Who Participate In Their "Program" Which Consists Of:

" The 52,000 Scouts who are eligible may earn the patch by participating in a curriculum produced by the MPAA. To earn the badge, Scouts must participate in several activities including creating a video public-service announcement and visiting a video-sharing website to identify which materials are copyrighted. They may also watch a movie and discuss how people behind the scenes would be harmed if the film were pirated."

Even If You're For All Of This, You Can't Say That It's Not Scary That A Large Corporation Can, In Essence, Buy The Boy Scouts.

Poems

Battle Scars (By Brogan Zumwalt)

I proudly bear the battle scars,
and I am not ashamed.
They are marks of endurance, and perseverance,
not old age.
I proudly bear the wrinkles,
these liver spots I've earned,
they allude to the life that I have led,
and all that I have learned.
My senses may be failing,
but I will still take in,
the sights, the sounds, the textures,
of this world I live in.
Oh, the sun it may be setting,
but do not grieve my friend,
it is such a beautiful evening,
and my life has been well lived.

This Is Why I Hate Mac's

No One Seems To Understand Why I Have Such Trouble With Mac's. Here's An Example Detailing Why (Actual Conversation):

Me: What Did I Do? Why Is Nothing Moving?

Mac User: Did You Insert A Flash Drive?

Me: Well, Yeah...

Mac User: Oh, That Explains It! You Aren't Supposed To Do That.

Me: What Do You Mean? I Can't Use A Flash Drive On A Mac?

Mac User: Yeah You Can But You Need To Insert It When The Fourth Logo Pops Up On The Loading Screen...

Me: All That Just To Save A Document?

Mac User: Oh! You Can't Save To A Flash Drive On Mac OS 4!

Me: Then Why Does It Have A USB Slot?

Mac User: Oh... I Don't Know...

Me: Okay, How Do I Restart It?

Mac User: You Can't.

Me: What?

Mac User: You Can't. When It Freezes The Off Button Doesn't Work.

Me: Well, How Am I Supposed To Turn It Off?

Mac User: You Have To Unplug It.

Me: Won't That Cause It To Lose Data?

Mac User: Probably...

Finally, A Huge Step Towards What We All Would Like To See... Monks With Rocket Launchers!

It seems that during a recent protest to end violence in Sri Lanka ended suddenly when Buddhist monks pulled out all the stops and began to brawl with other protestors. Fortunately it ended quickly due to pro-peace monks settling the crowd down.

"They were saying we should go to war," said pro-peace monk Madampawe Assagee. "We like to listen to other opinions so we let them do that but then they started fighting and we couldn't control some of our people. They tried to make it a big fight but we settled it in a few minutes."

What Madampawe didn't mention was the help from "Ol' Betsy", the sawed-of shotgun he keeps in his robe for situations like these.

Short Story: "Bossy"

Here's A Short Story I Wrote:

“Never again,” I told her, “I will never take advice from you ever again!”

My hamster just stared at me, as if it didn’t know what I was talking about. “Grounded for one month! This is all your fault JellyBean!” I yelled angrily at my hamster, who was spared the brunt of my aggression by her wireframe safe house. I continued to glare at JellyBean as she flipped on her back and made chirping noises as she wriggled her dime-sized paws in the air. “No! That may work on my Mom but I’m immune to your charms you demon-seed rodent!” I snapped. Sensing her ill-gotten charm wasn’t working, JellyBean maneuvered herself so that her furry butt was firmly planted on her exercise wheel. It gave her the appearance of a person sitting on their favorite chair. “What do you want?” I said with venom in my tone. JellyBean cocked her head and smirked slyly; as saying that I knew exactly what she wanted. “You want me to tell you what went wrong?” I asked incredulously. JellyBean just stared at me for the longest time… she didn’t blink once. Then JellyBean's head started to turn ever so slowly towards my lamp that was perched precariously close to the edge of the table it shared with JellyBean. She had pushed it over once; she wouldn’t hesitate to push it over again. “No…” I said my voice audibly shaking, “Y… you wouldn’t!” JellyBean got up from her wheel and, all the while looking directly at me, started slowly shuffling towards the lamp. “Please… Please!” I begged, “You know I’m afraid of the dark!” It was too late to try to move the lamp, she was too close. Then she stopped. The air was so still it could have been dead. She was giving me another chance! “Wait!” I cried out, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!” JellyBean swiveled so that she was facing me, and waited for me to begin. I cleared my throat and started…

The test was about to begin. I remembered the advice you gave me not to ask to use the restroom all day. The teacher passed out all of the tests but before he could tell us to start I raised my hand and asked if I could use the restroom quickly. That’s when the trouble began. You told me he’d be annoyed, you didn’t tell me he’d give me a time limit! He gave me 30 seconds. 30 seconds! I went into this thinking I’d have at least one minute before anybody started getting suspicious! To make matters worse, I hadn’t used the restroom all day so now I really did have to go! But with 30 seconds I only had time to pull the fire alarm and make it look like I was coming out of the restroom! So I got out of the classroom went to the fire alarm and pulled it. Before I could take two steps a tremendous pain shot up my arm. It turns out that when you pull the alarm you break a glass tube containing permanent ink. The glass cut my hand and ink got into the cut; the nurse said it was kind of like a tattoo. The nurse also said that, like a tattoo, it was probably permanent. So I have a tattoo of a blob on my hand, I’ve been suspended, my parents grounded me, and it’s all your fault!

I started to cry. JellyBean looked almost sympathetic for a moment. Then she turned and pushed the lamp off the desk. Leaving me in total, utter darkness.

The Digital Life

A recent New York Times article touted the title "A Flash Drive That Holds Your Computer". The article says it works by not only storing files like MSWord Documents but also the system files that allow them to run. Exciting, no? Indeed exciting but also quite troubling. When I went to Jr. High floppy discs and CD's were almost banned because of the threat of uploading a virus to the schools computer. Of course the teachers were mistaken, we had Crapintosh's (once, for fun I checked how many instances of the "I Love You" virus were on a single Mac and lost count at 20. At this point you may be thinking to yourself, "Wow! What kind of firewall did you have?" The answer is, we didn't... At first this seems like a good thing... Then you get to thinking... If one of the world's most destructive viruses DOES NOT WORK on a Macintosh... Something's wrong with the Macintosh... But I digress...) The point I'm trying to make is: If computers can still get infected... Even though they have firewalls and anti-virus tools... Is it really a good idea to make something that can transfer a infected hard drive to a different computer?

The "flash drive" the New York Times was talking about was the "Ceedo Personal" running the "Lexar PowerToGo" software. The flash drive costs $53 to $90 for the 1GB and 2GB models respectively (an impressive 4GB model is set to be released in August). That kind of storage capacity is very frightening to this author. Think about the amount of viruses a disgruntled employee (statistically the most likely to sabotage a businesses computer) could store on a flash drive like that. Worse this could allow someone to unintentionally infect somebody's computer! The article also had worse news:

• "Lexar claims it's "Lightning" [flash drives]... Are two to six times as fast as regular flash drives..."
• "[Lexar's rival] U3 argues that [their flash drive]... offers more security... such as a password for the flash drive..." (U3 makes a special flash drive that allows you to install programs on the flash drive.
• "... [Ceedo's software] requires neither special programs nor special flash drives... It even runs on iPods and other portable drives..."
• "... Ceedo-equipped flash drives trick software installers into [installing]... onto a duplicate of your windows folder..."
• "... there's even a portable, duplicate registry on board..."
• "When you plug your drive into any PC - at, say, a Kinko's, a Airport Waiting Lounge, or at a friends house..."

Scary stuff...

Revenge!

I saw this recently on a chatboard (It's what you call a signature or "siggy". It comes after your message and is usually funny.):

"Americans have different ways of saying things. They say "elevator", we say "lift" ... they say "President", we say "stupid psychopathic git."
Alexai Sayle.


I like our president, but I have to admit... that is pretty funny... I made a funnier one though:

"The British have different ways of saying things. They say "chips", we say "fries" ... they say "teeth", we say "monstrosities"...

Work Sucks

Recently I've heard the following phrase over and over: "Doesn't Work Give You Such A Satisfying Feeling?" To which I usually respond, "No, but you give me a 'Stepford Wife' feeling." With that aside I will now talk about my opinions on work.

1. Work is not satisfying.


After doing several hours of yard work I would never say, "Wow! How Fulfilling! I Wish I Could Do That Again!" However, I would say, "Damn... What A Waste of Time..."


2. Work does not "Feel Good".


I can honestly say that it has the opposite effect on me. It "Feels Like My Muscles Are Rapidly Atrophying".


3. Work does not give you a sense of accomplishment.


Rather it gives you a depressing feeling. (i.e. "It Looked Better Before...")

I hope this helps you in your decision on what to do this summer... Me, I'm going to Vegas.

Must Kill Bono!

Keane singer Tom Chaplin recently told England's "Q magazine" that one night while the trio was opening up for U-2 last year, he spotted some kitchen knives backstage, and a disturbing thought popped into his head. "The thought just came to me, 'I'll kill Bono.' Like when a train's approaching and you get the urge to jump." No word on whether Chaplin aspires to inherit the suposedly cursed "Bono Ruby".

Breaking News!Venture Bros Not Dead!

According To This Picture (Found At "Jackson Publick's" Blog):

Dean and Hank Venture haven't been killed off! It turns out that just needed a break from the glare of publicity and faked their own deaths... Very... Very realistically! Luckily they have just been hanging out in the attic at their home (1297 Venture Compound West). Thaddeus Venture's bodyguard, Brock Samson, is credited with finding the boys. When asked whether he was surprised when he found the two teenagers Brock said, "No, not really. The giggling coming from the attic was just starting to creep me out." We will give more details as soon as more is known about this development.

Google Is On Crack!

NOTE: Unfortunately, This Appears To No Longer Work. I'm Keeping This Post Here Because I Can.

Okay... I Just Discovered Something Odd... Search Google For "non-sequitur" Without The Quotes. It Will Say: "Did You Mean: non-sequitur non sequitur". Click On This And It Will Say: "Did You Mean: non-sequitur non sequitur non sequitur"! Keep Clicking: It Goes On Forever!

And Now... A Non-Sequitur Ad!

If you watch TV at all you've seen those "Comcast... It's Comcastic!" advertisements. Well I'm here to say that Comcast is indeed "Comcastic". Here are some of its features:

• On Demand: Lets you watch free shows from channels like: Comedy Central, Boomerang, and The History channel! You can rent movies with it too!
• Parental Control's: Great for annoying siblings if you know the 4-digit parental control code.
• Music Channels: All Music, All The Time!
• And More!

Now, keep in mind, I'm NOT being paid under the table to say this... (as far as you know).

The Tragedy of Cartoon Sequel's (A Critique)

So, today while I was eating breakfast I happened upon the "sequel" to the original Rugrats cartoon show, "All Grown Up". The first thing I noticed was the fact that throughout the entire show the characters were... Well... Out of character! Tommy who, in the original show, was the adventurous one was more cautious, laid-back, and at times embittered towards his brother, Dill.
The twins, Phil and Lil, had completely alien character traits. Phil was a kleptomaniac of sorts, and Lil seemed to have gone mute. The parents were nearly non-existent. In a strange-twist, the former baby-sitter, Susie, and the Bully, Angelica, had their own side-plot. All in all this was a major disappointment for me. The show had taken a definite turn for the worst in a desperate attempt to gain a foothold in the "tween" market.

FYI

Both the original Rugrats and All Grown Up are on Nickelodeon
at 6:30 Tues-Sun and 7:00 Tues-Sun (all PST) respectively.

Go Army? (An Army Of Sucky Jobs)

So... I was looking on "goarmy.com" at possible military careers. Some sounded cool (a.k.a. Job Requirements Include: Blowing Stuff Up); and others... well... didn't!

1. Army Plumber: basically your "mission" is to fix the pipes that carry the strangely large army of one's crap.
   
2. Food Service Operations Specialist: your "mission" should you have no other choice but to accept it: Serve mashed potatoes to people who risk their lives for their country. The only thing you'll risk is giving them indigestion.
3. Pharmacy Specialist : If a soldier goes crazy because he didn't have his med's... You'll be the one they blame...
4. Dental Specialist : If a soldier needs a root canal you better hope they brought a toothbrush.
5. Shower/Laundry and Textile Specialist : You ever notice the maids at the Hilton? Yeah... Welcome to the army...
6. Lithographer: You are the one responsible for propaganda, and job descriptions on the GoArmy.com website. You served your country well... now replace that ink cartridge... for your country!

EDIT (November 28, 2006): Let Me Make It Clear That I Have Nothing Against The Army (I'm Pro-War And Proud Of It) I Just Think It Would Be Funny If You Joined The Army Looking For Action And Got The "Army Plumber" Job
