Camelot was canceled.

Since the show sucked and I only made it about halfway through the season before quitting with the intention of finishing it before the second season started. However, with it getting canned, I might as well just call it now.

So here's my half ass review, or warning, whichever you choose to call it.

So here's Camelot. It stars Eva Green and some random English Model douche. Green did a great job as Morgan, Arthurs half sister. The problems start immediately. First Arthur sucks. He's this 16 year old looking kid with an annoying wispy stache. The moment you see him, you just hate him. In fact his first scene is him banging his brothers gf. How much of a douche is that? Then he just laughs it off. So not only is he a douche, but he's an arrogant douche.

Then stuff happens, he's thrust into the role of being king by the end of the first episode. Sadly, the next 5 episodes is just him wandering around, sleeping with people who are engaged, married, or in relationships. Essentially being a douche. You're getting the trend here I hope. All the while Morgan foils with magic and gets sick and so forth.

Basically, all that happens is Arthur banging a few women, Morgan being kinda hot and evil, and Camelot slowly (and I mean painfully slow) being constructed.

Oh, then there's Joseph Feinnes being well, that guy who looks annoying and can't act for crap. The guy literally has one look and has somehow made a career out of it. And not in the funny Zoolander way, the rage inducing "WTF ARE YOU GLARING AT" way.

Here he is as Merlin, giving that annoying -_- glare.

And here he is again, with the same stare. 

Dead Space 2 was rather scary.

I'm not one to scare easily during games, but this game got me about 3-4 times. The way they fool you is pretty clever too. You'll see a group up ahead, then they start running to the right, you assume there's a monster chasing them from the left so you approach quickly expecting to take them out strategically, then BAM, monster bursts through the wall from your left. Shock ensues. It's scenes like this that make you appreciate it. Rather than just making loud noises and showing you gore, it teases you.

There's also these stalker type enemies, that are similar to childish dogs playing with you. They'll run away hide behind corners and peer out now and then. If you aren't looking, they'll charge head on into you while screeching. It's not so scary as it is shock since they just sorta pop out then by the time you see them, knowing its a one hit kill from them, you panic trying to shoot them in the 1-2 seconds you have before you're dead.

The game isn't just scary though, it's near perfect. The Campaign is tremendous fun. I played through on the hardest available difficulty and while I died quite often, I never felt hopeless. That's what I like in games. I enjoy the challenge, but not the impossible feel. Gears, Halo, and COD all do this perfectly. You're never at some insurmountable disadvantage and aside from maybe one minor area where I had 3 bullets and no ability to purchase more and I needed to check a FAQ (sad I know), there didn't seem to be any game breaking moments.

The Mechanics and overall engine are top notch too. Rather than go full FPS like say Bioshock, it went for a 3rd person shooter which places your HUD on the back of the main character Isaac. So rather than display HP/Ammo/Special Ability, you see the Health on a Spinal Health Bar on your characters back, or see the Ammo amount on your characters weapon, and Even his Stasis Bar (freezes time) on his shoulder blade. Doing this cleans up the entire screen so you can focus mostly on your character and the atmosphere. Very innovative and I see other games using this in the future.

You can see the health, stasis and ammo here.

A bit late, but here's a brief synopsis of the story. You play as Isaac, an Engineer who was deployed to a mining ship when it stopped communicating with the company who sent it out. He goes there and finds out that they discovered an artifact that was turning everyone into Necromorphs, humans with 2 extra giant arms sprouting from their backs with razor sharp blades at the end. Isaac is tasked with finding out how to stop it and eventually does... or so he thinks. This is where Dead Space 2 comes in. He awakes years later on a city sized space station Sprawl, only to be heavily sedated and being experimented on by the company that sent him out. They want to find the secret to the artifact and try to rebuild it. This causes the necromorphs to appear again and it's up to Isaac to stop them.

Here's one of the many Necromorph's you come across.

So through the story you find out what secrets are hidden away deep inside Sprawl and with the military and necro's after you, there's nobody you can trust.

If you have heard of Dead Space 1 but wasn't sure, I suggest getting it. You can find them both for about <20 per. I bought 1 last year for 10 on Amazon and got 2 for 20 a few weeks ago at Sears.

Overall I'd give Dead Space 2 a 9.5/10. As I said, the engine is near perfect and they set everything up to be challenging but achievable.

Sorry for my absence today.

Friend was moving today and I was the only available help. It was terrible and I regret my decision to show up, but I guess it's my duty as a friend to do this. I did tell them though, this was it for at least 3-4 years, they seem to move every year rather than find a nice place and settle down.

Tomorrow though I plan 2 game reviews, and possibly some other random blog posts.

Here's a song I absolutely adore.

Dwight Howard working hard this summer to up his game.

Here he is protesting the coming lockout.

 

Here he is showing the Pepsi Machine what's up.

That rock has nothing on Dwight's offense.

I assume this is a bathroom? Creative way to evacuate your bowels. 

Mowing the lawn.

Waiting for his lunch.

As you can see, he's doin work this summer. While most players are hitting casinos, D12 is out getting work done.

Very funny pictures though, Dwight Howard is easily one of the coolest NBA players. 

Awesome backflip first pitch.

Already posted one video today, but might as well get another in before ceasing for a few days.

Now, you tell me how epic this is. It's not how flashy it is for me, it's the fact that he delivered the ball nearly perfect.

As I mentioned above, the reason I enjoyed this so much was that he hit the catcher right on. Here's two professional athletes failing pretty badly.

Now, after watching those, it should give more respect for the Cirque guy.

Here's one of the greatest inventions ever, The Happy Hotdog Man!

Showed my friend this the other day and meant to make a blog about it. Lets first start off by how amazing this idea is. It takes a hotdog, slices into it in several different areas to make it seem like a little person. How genius is this!

Here's a quick video to explain the process. My favorite part is how you get a different colored hotdog cutter.

I will say though, the little condiment nipples rock, though they seem like a pain to clean.

Louie returns with a stellar premier.

After a lackluster second half to an amazing first half of Season One, Louie came back with a bang. The jokes were a bit more subtle than some of the hilarious episodes of the first season, but they carried the same hilarity.

If you know who Louis CK is, you know his realistic humor. He's able to convey perfectly what everyone thinks about, but just can't explain it properly. Like how you may love your kids, but there are times that you wish they weren't born. Or how it's humane to raise your child in a broken home.

His ability to convey this is what separates him from the other crowd. His jokes may be vulgar at times, but it's because that's how people are and think.

With this said, I suggest you all check out season one, episode 1-7. Those are easily some of the best episodes in TV history.
