[Tech News] PSP Go Revealed

psp-goThanks to a recently leaked episode of Qore, Sony’s own Monthly Video Game Program, the world now knows that the long-rumored PSP Go is a real piece of tech and it’s on its way. No one is really sure why this happened, but the episode went live to feature the series’ hostess speaking with SCEA Director of Hardware John Koller about Sony’s newest handheld system.

Within the leaked episode is also talk of a new PSP Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, and a first look at the previously announced LittleBigPlanet Portable. I’m thinking this covers just about all of the big news they had planned for the portable market at E3. Good job, Sony.

[Music Review] “Appeal to Reason” by Rise Against

rise-against-appeal-to-reasonOverview:

A sharp effort from the Chicago based band Rise Against proves both intelligent and hard-nosed, making for a good album with a lot to say from a band that isn’t afraid to say it.

Review:

Rise Against is a band out of the Windy City that provides a crisp hard rock/punk sound with relevant lyrics, powerful vocals, tight and precise guitar work, and intense drumming. Their 5th studio album, “Appeal to Reason,” is a motivated effort and it’s evident that this band isn’t like a lot of others in the Punk-Rock Genre these days. Rise Against actually has something to say.

[Music News] Stream Jeff Mangum’s “Starlit Crypt” on Pitchfork

jittery_lgFor those of you unfamiliar with the music of Jeff Mangum, he was the musical force behind indie music heroes Neutral Milk Hotel in the 90′s. At the risk of overselling his brilliance, he is literally the closest thing I have ever had to a personal messiah.

After achieving cult icon status after the release of his band’s 1998 masterpiece “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea,” Mangum disappeared and hasn’t recorded a new studio album since. He did however return last fall, performing his song “Engine” on a tour dubbed “The Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour.” I was lucky enough to witness one of these performances and I can say the experience was more orgasmic than every orgasm I have ever had put together.

[Film Review] Adventureland

adventurelandposterOverview:

A recent college graduate returns to his hometown, and ends up having to work at a local amusement park called ‘Adventureland.’

Review:

The film comes to us from director Greg Mottola, of Superbad fame. Anyone going into this movie expecting Superbad Part Deux is going to be sorely disappointed, but that hardly means this movie isn’t good, because it’s a quality film with a lot to say, and it says it in an enjoyable and entertaining manner. It’s just not full of belly-laughs like Mottola’s last film.

[Music Review] “Universal Mind Control” by Common

common-universal-mind-controlOverview:

For those of you that aren’t “down” with the “hippity-hop” and the “MySpace Dot Coms” the kids are all raving about, Common is a pretty established MC from Chicago, well-known for his politically-conscious raps and jazz-inspired beats. He’s iconic in hip-hop for his smooth delivery of gritty lyrics and is also established in the art of freestyle rapping. He’s one of those down-to-Earth emcees of the same run as Talib Kweli, Mos Def and early Kanye West, and has brought us strong songs with a street flair in the past like “The Corner” and “Testify.”

[Game News] High Voltage Bringing Left 4 Dead-Inspired Online Co-op Shooter to the Wii

thegrinderwii

And I, for one, can’t wait.

The game is called The Grinder and it looks to set the bar for online multiplayer on Nintendo’s Wii. Though I guess it would be unfair to expect anything less from High Voltage Software, developers behind The Conduit, which is likely the most highly anticipated Wii game of 2009, and rightfully so. High Voltage has built an amazing engine and is finally starting to use it to patch up some of the wholes in the system’s library. With gams like The Conduit, Gladiator A.D. and now The Grinder, High Voltage has quickly become the hardcore Wii gamer’s best friend.

[Food Review] Salsa Fresca Rice Works Crisps

riceworkssalsafrescaAlright, so by appearance I may be just your regular everyday mildly overweight greasy college student who, by habit, munches on nothing other than slippery burgers, tacos pumped full of over-salted beef and cheese-like sauce, and fries that drip grease and fat like an orphan sheds tears.

But that’s not entirely true, I also enjoy a good slice of shiny, well-lubricated pizza.

BlogFastFood.com is the Devil

I have seen the face of the Devil and it’s a pasty white, bald, fat dude who blatantly rips off other sites and struggles to come up with an original thought.  This post is just a test to prove that this site automatically posts anything I post.  Don’t visit BlogFastFood.com.

Note:  No offense to any other pasty white, bald, fat dudes out there.  In time, I will be one of you.

[Tech News] I Guess Nintendo Isn’t Really Making a Phone Anytime Soon

A long while back some of you readers who are, like myself, hardcore Nintendo geeks, might remember a leaked patent that pointed to a possibility of a Nintendo-made cell phone. When that was released, fans went insane thinking about the possibilities that could become reality with introduction of a “Nintendphone” to the market. Since that day Nintendo has hinted at the possibility of a phone being in the works, saying that they’d be all over it if they could find a way to provide service without complicated monthly fees.

Until now.
