Back!

I totally meant to put up some BRB, RvBTO posts this weekend, but our hotel's wireless wouldn't allow me to access the backend of this site, nor allow logmein or VPN access.  So I missed two updates, and will totally make up for them this week.

In the meantime, enjoy a video I edited for Awesome On Its Own.  :D

Random Thoughts #9

• First off, here's my spoiler-laden review for Inception!  If you've not seen it yet, you really do owe it to yourself to see it this weekend!

• Tonight on Late Nite JengaJam, it's a super podcasting mash-up, as Joe and John from The Javaheads call in and hang out.  We'll be talking about life, liberty and the pursuit of poutine, along with the upcoming RvBTO awesomeness.

• Speaking of RvBTO, that happens in just over a week!  Once again I'll be trekking into the untamed wilds of Canada with my friends on a weekend moose-hunt.  Canada and its capital of Toronto are savage lands, but the natives are friendly if not sophisticated.  :P

• Finally, I've been hard at work on the next Awesome On Its Own video for Lady Gaga's Telephone.  I'm very close to being finished, and hope to have it completed by this weekend!  After that, I really don't know what I'm going to do with myself.  Maybe catching up with True Blood would be a good place to start!

Random Thoughts #7

• I've been studying for a certification test all this week, and having thus been slacking on my writing.  I'll have a review for Gratuitous Space Battles and The Last Airbender up soon. 
• I'm also working on completing the next AOIO video for Lady Gaga's Telephone.  I got some really good stuff, and it's time to start making some hard cuts.  Thanks to all you guys who submitting something, I'll have the video up by next week hopefully!
• In the midst of my studying, I'll get a break tonight for Late Nite JengaJam as we have two awesome people to talk about the World Cup tonight at 9:30 Central.  Jessie "koolkeeper11" Falls is a former collegiate goalkeeper, and Dan "strider165" VanderClock is an RvB moderator and futbol fan!  And yes, the World Cup is still going on even though the US is out.  I think we did better than most people expected, and we'll be discussing this and more on tonight's show.  Join us as we plan for the inevitable counterattack against the evil forces of the vuvuzelas!

Quick Hits

• Reviews for Marvel Heroes, Jamaica, Halo 3: ODST, and Beatles Rock Band are coming soon. I've been pre-occupied recently, and yet slacking at the same time.
• What could possibly be so important to keep me from my gaming reviewing duties? I was asked to edit the most recent Awesome On Its Own video. What's Awesome On Its Own? It's a bunch of really cool people from the Red vs. Blue boards, making fools of themselves to either awesome or awesomely bad music. It's something that's been an absolute pleasure to be involved in, and I hope that we continue to entertain for a while more yet. Here's my first editing job, so be gentle. :)

• Speaking on ODST, the hardest part of the big coop achievements is actually getting the people together to play through them. Also, they're really hard.
• OU Football could be better, but it could be worse. Maybe the thrashing we're about to receive in Dallas will finally be the catalyst to make some coaching changes that we so badly need.
