"i made a mistake"


Well this years e3 has come and gone and this year was a bit calmer..nothing really stood out, we happen to have G4 the game network this year and the aired the press conferences live , which was cool but being on the eastcoast i was up watching the microsoft press conference at 1:30 in the morning....the only thing that impressed me aboput xbox was the games..they have a lot of big name titles coming out before christmas.Nintendo has the market on innovation, the wii fit , a wierd streering wheel ..but the system is still not up to par with the next-gen consoles. Sony has some catching up to do , but their games just visually blow anything out there away..sorry microsoft but the ps3 is a monster. All this gaming has got me reminiscing about days past, i thought of a game i had not thought of ina long time..one that was a sleeper, but we all had a great time playing....This guy right here..ONE...it begins as the main character wakes up in a room...a gun now where his hand used to be....he says one thing.."i made a mistake".....THATS IT!!!! and for the rest of the game you are fighting for your life!!!! 6 levels.of jumping. running shooting CHAOS!!!!!!! it was soo much fun. who was this guy?...what was the damn mistake!!!! great game.

"One shall stand"


My childhood consisted of many things...people, places, things....but what i remember most was the weekday afternoon cartoons. As everyone who is my age or around there knows ..we had the best cartoons..hands down, from G I Joe, to Thundercats, He-Man, and more. The eighties redefined kids cartoons and became the standard for years to come....
Look at Optimus Prime there ..isnt he awesome
!!!!. The transformers opened last week and made a gagillian dollars..but who cares. For me and probably for a lot of my generation, just hearing that john wayne swaggering voice of Optimus, transformed me back to my childhood and made me giggle with glee. So the story wasnt all that..who cares, the cartoon story sucked a whole lot, but thats not what i came to see. I came to see giant flippin robots!!!..the robots i grew up with...the toys i played with and eventually broke..ahem.
That being said i loved the movie..I didnt agree with some things , but over all i think it was done right. Harry over at AICN complained about the story.....look if you want a story go see Evening..leave the robots alone. There were many references to the cartoon throughout. The old yellow vw beatle getting a smack from the updated bumblebee..great!. dialogue straight off the cartoon..it was a fun ride and it also set up more to come..oh yeah the robots were incredible..my hats off to the effects guys...but one of the best parts was a really great trailor for an untitled movie....looked amazing..youll see.
