Fedor Emelianenko

So last night at Strikeforce Fedor Emelianenko lost for the frist time since his December 22, 2000 loss because of a cut with an illegal elbow. Fabricio Werdum submitted him with a triangle armbar at 1:06 of the Frist round. Fedor said he tapped because of the choke not the armbar. Now I am a fan of Fedor so it is a little sad that he lost but it had to happen eventually. I am happy its a guy like Werdum just because he knows what he just did and he wont rub it in Fedor's face. I would like to see the new heavy weight pound for pound fighters now. As of right now Fedor has one more fight on his contract with strikeforce and he has stated that he will finish that fight. As for after that I am guessing he will be retired. I would love to see a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko vs Fabricio Werdum. I just hope people don't think "well he lost that was fun." just because he lost does not make him a bad fighter. His fight record didn't make him good.

Upcoming posts

I am working on Silent Hill Home coming right now. Taking my time on it
I also have Resident Evil Zero which I have played but never beat.
I also got Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 for Playstation that I have never played.
lastly I got Resident Evil 4 which sadly I have never played.

I am trying to get a camera so I can at least take some pictures to post on the blog if I can. If I am able to get one I will put some pictures of my collection.

My goal

My goal on blogging is to post my thoughts on video games while I play them and on movies. For both movies and video games I would like for them to be new. So I will try not start a new post for a video game or movie that I have already seen I might start one for a bunch of movies that I had seen again (so combining them together). Of course if there's something that bugs me about a game or movie that I have played in the past I will post my thoughts on it. There are no movies for me that are off-limits for watching. My thoughts on movies is that a movie you think looks stupid could end up being one of your favorites. With that said I will not go out and buy a movie that looks like shit to me. It pretty much means if someone says "Hey lets watch title here" I wont say no just because I might enjoy it. Now for video games its different because well there $60 and my money tree hasn't fully grown yet so in till then I will be playing games that are lets say under $30.

Video games I like to play

Now for the Video games I enjoy play. I love First person shooters. My favorites are Perfect dark, Golden-eye, halo's, Half-life's, Counter-strike (source), call of duty's, plus others. I also love survival horror games or any horror video games of that kind. Some that I like would be Dead space, Resident evil's and Silent hill homecoming is going good. I also played all the warcraft's , Diablo 2, Doom/Doom 3, World of Warcraft, Boulders gate, forsaken, Road Rash, Mario's, Kirby's, Metroid, Final Fantasy 7 & 5, Any Rareware game I can get plus many others.

Games I played the most are Perfect dark, Diablo 2, Counter Strike and Counter Strike source, World of warcraft and any multiplayer N64 game. I prefer shooters and horror games but I have play driving, fighting, and RTS video games. I like real-time strategy it's just the computer always kicks my ass.

Thoughts on Video game fans.

I just started playing video games again just about two weeks ago. I had over a year off on video games just got tired of them. I am not huge on new video games now a days. I just find video games are judged way to much. Everyone has to say what they think about a game, everyone has to "pick" a side. It seems like now that gaming is huge there are no more "gamers". For example you have to like either the Xbox 360 or the Playstation, You can not like both. Go to any video game forum and you will have tons of people proclaiming one video game is better than the other. Back in the day (the 90's) I would rent games that I had no idea what they where about and if me and my brother or friends had fun, it was a good game. It's a video game console you buy them to play video games. Why is there so much anger towards people who didn't buy what you did? It seems like games can't just be "fun" they must have amazing graphics, sound, story, characters, and NEW. Back in the day most games had no story and the graphics and sound where 8-bit(16-bit) and most games tried to rip off one another. I just don't understand the whole "This game (title here) is better than (title here)" so what if its better. I bet I can have fun with either.

Bottom line: Buy a game to play it, to enjoy it. If you can't have fun playing a game and your only playing them for ranking then just stop it is pointless.

Now I own a Xbox 360 (its died 3 times and I still love it). I am using my brother PS3 for the blu-ray player. I sold my Nintendo WII it just had no games that interested me. Bot huge on the mini games.

8½ Criterion #140

I have no idea what to think of this movie. I went into it expecting something completely different then what I ended up getting. I really liked the main character Guido. I got completely lost half way through the movie meaning I need to watch it again. A huge problem I had, was its a black and white film which doesn't bother me what so ever but the problem is it's mostly white. Heres the problem its in italian with english subtitles. I found it at time impossible to read the subtitles fast enough when they are on top of a white background. I may just be me I am a slow reader but white on top of white is just mean. I wish that Criterion would have an option to make the subtitles yellow or white with a black outline so they stand out. The women in this movie are really beautiful especially the one he's cheating on his wife with.
The story is about Guido a Director that is starting the production of his latest film. The problem is he has no desire to make this film. So everyone is trying to get the film going while he is really stuck in a place he does not want to be in. Even tho its a comedy I only laughed a few times. I was entertained. It is just when he would day-dream I would get lost having not been able to read fast enough. Should this be in the Criterion collection yes it is a great example of film making.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button Criterion #476

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a great movie. I really enjoyed it. i thought the characters where well written. I really got into this world of Benjamin and its characters. The aging effect are outstanding. The detail that went into it all was perfect. I found the sailing part to be the best. I thought that young Benjamin was some what rushed. At some parts I lost track of time like when Benjamins father passes seemed like it was that same night he walked out on him. Everyone seems to have the perfect death for some reason. I didn't like was the whole priest making him walk. I thought that was just not needed, he could have walk some other way. Benjamin come off really selfish in this movie and at times. Do I think this movie should be part of the Criterion collection um ya I do it is really enjoyable. Will I watch it again I don't know. Most likely not by myself. It is 165 mins but I would watch it again with someone who wants to. There are no parts that really drag. If I had to pick my least favorite part it would be the ending I just felt his story was over and so whats the point.
