College Humor is at it again with this great commentary on Superhero films:

What do you think of “gritty reboots” of films? I for one love the dark, more realistic tone it sets. And I’m always in for 10 ccs of Daddy Issues.

I heart Neil Patrick Harris. Yes, I know that me being female means that nothing will ever happen between us, but a girl can dream, right? Right?

Anyway, one of the things I love best about NPH is his work in Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. I laughed, I cried, I sang along. And now I wait impatiently to hear news of more.

NPH told MTV News a bit on the future of Dr. Horrible:

I personally am waiting for a Broadway musical to be made about Dr. Horrible (and I would be there on opening day…), but until something like that happens, a full-length feature would be just as incredibly exciting. Need any extra Dr. Horrible groupies in the film? I’m happy to help!

If the new Tron Legacy trailer doesn’t give you goosebumps, you might be a robot.

If you are a die-hard fan of the original Tron, you may be critical and less than optimistic on the new Tron Legacy film that’s coming out. However, if you’re someone like me who wasn’t totally in love with the original, you can only have high hopes thats it’s going to be as good as it looks in the trailer!

Regardless of what kind of fan you are, die-hard or not at all, nobody can deny the awesomeness of Jeff Bridges, along with the incredible special effects & soundtrack this movie is set to have.

Take a look at the original Tron (1982) in comparison to Tron Legacy (2010)

I’m so excited for it to come out at the end of this year!

This fall, Scribblenauts 2 will be released for the Nintendo DS.

For those who haven’t played the adorably addictive game, you solve puzzles by writing anything you can think of and using its on-screen representation to assist you. Or, if you’re like me, you can just make random things appear in the home screen and make them fight.

According to the press release, the main thing Scribblenauts 2 will incorporate will be a large list of adjectives. Players will be able to “…change the color, size, elements, behaviors and many other aspects of the object they are describing.” Perhaps the puzzles will be more based on certain types of objects, then?

Although the game has been fun, I’ve found that it’s more of a party trick to show friends than something I want to sit and play for hours. The controls just aren’t smooth enough; I end up getting frustrated and then trying to kill Maxwell. Anyone else feel the same way? Hopefully the physics will be fixed a bit in the new version.

One thing I’m looking forward to are more easter eggs. As you may know, Scribblenauts will not accept proper nouns except for mythological/religious creaures… and Rick Astley. Memes were quite prominent, including things like keyboard cat. I can’t wait to see what they include in the next!

And for those wondering, the coolest thing I ever made happen on Scribblenauts: I put God, Satan, and a gun on the main screen. God picked up the gun and shot Satan over and over until he died. It was amazing.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve done with Scribblenauts?

So it’s been quite some time since I’ve played the first Bioshock. I can barely remember who is who and the names of what, but I do remember feeling sheer utter amazement and curiosity when I first started the original! It was amazing! The story kept me so curious and motivated and it is definitely the only scary (semi-scary for you brave-folk) game I’ve ever actually brought myself to play!

So anyway, I bought Bioshock 2 yesterday on the day of it’s release. I loved the original Bioshock and although I was doubtful, I still had high hopes for the sequel. I started playing and I must say that so far I am not thrilled. It seems just… ehhhh. Nothing really captivating or new. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it’s a sequel and it’s the freakin Rapture for heaven’s sakes! But what made me love the original Bioshock so much was it’s mystery and shock/awe values. Wandering into the mysterious underwater city was fascinating and creepy! Given that I’m familiar with Rapture now, the sequel is nothing I’m not used to and much less interesting if you catch my drift.

Sure we’re a Big Daddy who can now drill people, sure we can now go outside of the Rapture and go underwater, sure this little sister is kind of cute and endearing, but it’s still so blah to me! Seems repetative. And with all the other games out there right now, I’m way too underwhelmed with Bioshock 2 to dedicate my time to it. They should have released it before Mass Effect 2 came out and maybe then I’d be more enthusiastic!

Its Feb. 9th already! That means time to switch from Mass Effect 2 to Bioshock 2! Tis’ the season for sequels? Hopefully Bioshock will match up to the hype. I don’t know why but I don’t have much confidence! The first Bioshock was good and really creeped me out. I just don’t think that the story will be as creepy playing a Big Daddy instead of Jack!

However, even though I’m doubtful in its greatness, I know that I’ll still be scared to death. If there’s one thing in this world that I’m afraid of, it’s demented little girls. DON’T EVEN get me STARTED on the movie The Ring!  * Seven days..* AHH!

Can’t wait to play it tonight!
