Just spent all day yesterday painting the server room here at the DOH! Network. Now I have to try and get all the stuff I took out of here. back in.
I have Ozomatli's 'Saturday Night' stuck in my head. Click here to get it stuck in yours too. You can hear Ozomatli and a bunch of other cool new music on Indie 103.1.
Woohoo! Back from the abyss known as overtime hell! It has been really busy at work as of late and when I have been coming home, I've been messing with setting up a router alongside the web server to try and do DHCP so I can plug in the laptop and VPN into work. Finally said forget this and set the laptop up with a static I.P. and was able to connect. Have to be able to VPN in so I don't have to drive all the way down to work on Sunday to test the new Teamsite. Anyway, I haven't had time to post as often as I would like but I got parolled from work early today.
Picked up a new audio/video receiver for the home entertainment system and wouldn't you know the old Leche luck, I was running the auto surround sound setup and the tuner crashed. Go figure. It did it like four times in a row. Something with the right rear speaker didn't jive with the tuner for some reason because every time it got there, it turned the tuner off. I messed with the wires some and must have done something right cause it looks to be working now. I got the 5-year warranty just in case since my Pioneer tuner died after three years.
I was so busy I didn't have time to mention Super Trailer Tuesday but I did post a trailer link for 'Alexander' on the Spiff Trailers page. Also just added are a trailer for John Travolta's new fireman movie, 'Ladder 49', Kim Basinger's 'Cellular' and a butt-ugly scary trailer for 'Ju-on: The Grudge'.
I've been working with NOPAL to redesign the site a little and while fixing some links, I got playing the 'Do You Like Animace?' game. What a fun game. It got me thinking I need to work on more games for the site.
The movie trailers got to be too much for the homepage so they have been moved to their own page. Check it out here.
I usually like to keep the the site light and humorous but I just have to share my thoughts on recent events. A bunch of G.I. are looking to be court-martialed for abusing prisoners of war by making them perform some things they wouldn't perform normally and that's wrong and kinda ghey of the soldiers if you ask me (not that there's anything wrong with that) but these prisoners are still alive and if they were free right now they would most likely be hanging with the crew that just kidnapped an American who was there trying to help rebuild that piece of a country and cut his head off. That's just wrong. Americans are there trying to improve your frikkin country and you go and cut their heads off. You guys suck.
Woohoo! It's already Super Trailer Tuesday again! New trailers to check out are...
This one will probably tank big time at the box office but here's your first look at the official trailer for 'Catwoman'.
Vin Diesel's going back to the role that really put him in the spotlight since his last couple of movies were pretty forgettable and the official trailer for 'The Chronicles of Riddick' is now online. This one has a lot more footage of Vin which could be a bad thing. Still it doesn't look too bad I suppose. Could be worth checking out in the theater.
Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise team up in the upcoming taxi driver/hitman buddy movie, 'Collateral' and here's the official trailer.
QuickTime has an Internet exclusive with a new trailer for 'I, Robot'. This one has a lot more robot fighting footage but it's cut really quick so check out the first 'I, Robot' trailer if you want to get an idea of what the movie is about.
Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne in 'The Bourne Supremacy'. This one looks like it will be an as good if not better sequel to the original and it's good to see Matt Damon getting some good action roles rather than Ben Affleck getting all the work and that's why it's the Featured Trailer of the week.
Keep an eye open for a new 'The Incredibles' trailer probably at the end of the week and I really need to move the movie trailers to a full page. The list is getting a little too long with movies that are still like a year away.
Just got off the phone with the DOH! Network legal team and it seems we've been served with a cease and desist letter regarding the DOH! Network Spiff Webcams. Turns out when a webcam picture goes un-updated for a long period of time, we are not permitted to post previous pictures of said webcam in it's place even if the owner of the webcam in question sends you a new picture to use. That being said, the role of the egrep cam is now being played by the Venice Beach cam.
I just finished downloading Tribes 2 and Starsiege: Tribes and saw on the Planet Tribes website that Starsiege: Tribes is not the latest release of the original Tribes. You will have to patch it with this update to be up to date. (Planet Tribes)
The title of today's update says Super Tribes 2sday but I still have trailers for ya to check out.
Nopal said he couldn't wait to see what I have in store for Super Trailer Tuesday so I mentioned this one a little early. Check out the official trailer for 'Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle'. It looks really funny and has a lot of celebrities making guest appearances. Could be the next 'Dude, Where's My Car?' (The Movie Page)
I can't believe they are still making Chucky movies but here comes another one. Check out a teaser for 'Seed of Chucky'. (Ain't It Cool News)
The official King Arthur site has been updated with some tv commercials. You can check out a thirty second spot or a two minute spot over there depending on how much time you have.
There's a new 'The Day After Tomorrow' trailer up on QuickTime. This trailer's got a bunch of new footage from the upcoming summer blockbuster. (QuickTime.com)
A new tv spot for The Chronicles of Riddick just hit the net. It's got a bunch of new footage. Looks pretty good. Check it out.
Don't forget to get your copy of Tribes 2 tomorrow from File Planet. This is the full version of the game so you can jump on any Tribes 2 server and be playing all the maps, weapons and vehicles FREE!
If you don't want to wait in line on File Planet to download it, you can also get Tribes 2 and the original Starsiege: Tribes on DVD in the new issue of Computer Gaming World on newsstands tomorrow.
I was thinking I would check out a bunch of game demos today to give you a spiff review of them but two of the three games I played crashed out to reboot. And this is on the machine I just reformatted last week. The games that crashed were Soldner: Secret Wars Multiplayer Beta Demo v2 and Codename: Panzers Demo. Soldner I couldn't get into at all before the computer crashed so I have nothing to say about that except it looks really nice in the screenshots. Looks like it's trying to nab some of the Battlefield 1942: Desert Combat crowd.
Panzers I could play for like five minutes before it crashed. What I saw in that five minutes looked really nice. Kind of Command & Conquer-y/Warcraft III-ish. The military C&C look but the view would zoom in during fight scenes and stuff. Looks like a really cool game but I can't play it on my current machine so I probably won't be buying it any time soon.
The one game I was able to play was Neighbors from Hell 2 Demo. This is a puzzle game where you play a guy following his neighbor around trying to play practical jokes on him to irritate him. The graphics look great. Kinda reminds me of Abe's Oddworld meets Wallace and Gromet. The game play is easy to pick up but you are pretty limited in what you can do. You pretty much have to find something that will work with something else to cause your neighbor to fall or be sick or something. It's a cool game for just passing the time but not one you're going to go back to after you have played it through once.
