Seinfeld Season 5 & 6

This has to be my favorite show of all time, and probably most of yours too. I do miss the good ol' days where everything on TV wasn't a reality based show. Seinfeld Season 5 & 6 will arrive on store shelves on November 22, 2005. [season 5] [season 6]

What the "Bleep"

What the "Bleep" is this you might ask. It is a British kids program that hopefully never made it on TV. Warning there are lots of sexual innuendos, but it is pretty funny. [VIDEO]

Addicted to Zelda

I need to come out and say that I am addicted to Zelda. It all started back in 1987 when I was at my buddies house for the weekend, he little brother had this system called the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). He was playing a game called The Adventures of Zelda. I asked if I could play and he made a character with my name and said here. I fell in love it so much that when I came home I wanted to go and buy a NES. I counted my money and waited to have the right amount to go and buy the NES system and Zelda. I never had a game console prior to this other than a Commodore 64 that we got rid of in 1985. In 1991 the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) came out and I heard that Zelda A Link to the Past was coming out for that system. It was time to upgrade and get the new system. That game was amazing with 16 bit graphics and stereo sound. I quickly fell in love with and beat it, this system turned out some great games. Then I started working and I didn't have time to play and the system and all of the games got boxed up and put up in my closet. I unfortunately sold the whole system to one of my employees. I look back now and wish that I would have never sold that system. Quite a few years passed and I didn't think or play Zelda and life was good, I thought, the PS2 came out in 1999 with a lot of people wanted the system, but only so many systems were made. My sister in law new someone at Toys R' Us and she helped me get a system. I quickly got into the swing of playing games again, no Zelda, but the Grand Theft Auto series kept me entertained. My brother gave me a NES with 10 games one being Zelda of course and I played it for long time. Then a year and half ago, I started playing Halo with some buddies and I picked up a XBOX and I played some good games, but nothing compared to Zelda, then a few months ago I started playing Zelda A link to the Past and it all came back to me. I started looking on Ebay and tried to find the perfect SNES and found one with 4 games. I quickly ordered Zelda A Link to the Past and Contra III. I loved that game that I started looking at every Zelda game made. I found a Zelda Special Edition disc for the Game Cube that included Zelda, Zelda II, Zelda: ocarina of Time, and Zelda: Majora's Mask, so I bought a Game Cube from Nintendo. I then picked up Zelda: The Wind Maker and then picked up The Game Boy player that connects to the bottom of the Game Cube to play Zelda: The Minish Cap. This is when I decided that I was addicted to Zelda. I love this new game The Minish Cap. I played it for 2 hours last night and I just can't put it down. I recommend if you are a Zelda fan, go and get a Game Cube/ Game Boy player port, a Game Boy Advance/Micro, or Nintendo DS and buy this game. It is so much fun. So if you lost count of how many different Zelda games I have the tally is 9 Zelda games with 3 different ports of A Link to the Past. Yes, I am addicted to Zelda.

South Park

The new season of South Park starts tonight at 10pm E/ 7pm P on Comedy Central. This has got to be one of the funniest shows on TV. Even if the episode is just wrong you can't help from laughing. I recommend setting your TiVo to record it, so you can watch it more than once. [more info]

Oops

"Why did our captain tell us all to meet here in single file fashion.........................Oh crap!!!"

This is a gif of some game play from war game or something, looks like team red was lined up for something and team blue had wheels and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Funny in a sick kind of way. If you know any more details of this, put them in my comments. Thx

Batman Begins on DVD

After the last two Batman movies, I didn't think that a good Batman movie would ever rise. I am glad to say that Batman Begins totally redeems itself for a franchise. Christian Bale does a fantastic job of playing our bat friend fighting for Gotham City. After you buy Batman Begins and if you like Christian Bale, you should rent The Machinist. You will be thinking how an amazing actor he is after seeing that movie. A little weird but just amazing that he lost like 60lbs to play that character. Well, amazon.com has Batman Begins 2 disc set for $15.98 go out and get it Tuesday. [more info]

Frank Hannon Band concert

Last night I went to see The Frank Hannon Band in concert for their CD release party in Sacramento. Frank Hannon is the lead guitarist for Tesla. Frank had a couple of his Tesla band members come up and perform a couple of songs including Jeff Keith, lead singer from Tesla, and bass player Brian Wheat. I am not really the biggest fan of genre of music as much as my room mate, but I would have to say that Frank put on quite a show and this is the second time I have seen him and I would go again. He is quite the performer and keeps his band on their toes by going off on these weird tangent guitar solo and expect his band to keep up with him. The three of them seemed to be having just as much fun as the crowd and that is what made it so entertaining.

Nintendo Revolution controller

I know this came out a couple of weeks ago, but I am starting to get really excited about this one. This is the new controller for the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. I think this is one of the most innovative ideas any game company has ever done before. It has a gyro effect which detects motion and what you do with the controller will make your character do it on the screen. For instance in a first person shooter, if you wanted to walk forward you would tilt the controller forward. Of course it is wireless and it has an attachment jack at the base of the controller for add on peripherals. Will it sell more games, not really sure, but I sure hope so.
I feel that Playstation and XBox game makers are just looking for the next dollar and have abandoned the art of a good game. I just got a Super Nintendo off of eBay and reliving my childhood memories with great games like Zelda, Super Contra and Super Mario Brothers. I love current gen games like the GTA series and the graphics of latest systems, but we need games that are more in depth and more creative.
