Cloverfield...?

By Noir - Posted on 01 February 2008

What the hell is all the hype about this damn movie. I just came back from watching it and frankly I was not too impressed. I give it a 6/10.

Shaky Cam is just some shitty gimmick and is certainly not original, since it was used in the Shit Witch project (I mean Blair Witch.). The shakiness wasn't even the worse part. It was the fact that the camera was always tilted at an angle.

The movie was short as hell too, I guess those fine art students ran out of money. This was a good thing since as I said before, it was only a 6/10. Read more

Does anyone play TF 2 (on PC)?

A Page from the Diary of an HoC Member

By Stormblade - Posted on 29 January 2008

Dear Diary,

I did it. I broke down. I abandoned my convictions - the very core of my being - and succumbed to the peer pressure of my so-called friends.

I went to Walmart and forked out 60 bucks for, yes I am sad to say, Burnout Paradise. I just couldn't handle the pressure! I was being mocked, ridiculed and ostracized by those I had once considered my friends.

They laughed.

They mocked.

It was just too much to bear. Read more

It took 6 long years, but it finally happened....

The Xbox (or I should say, the Xboxo 360) has finally made money. It's only for the second quarter though, fuled by the price cut and Halo 3.

Road Hazard

By Stormblade - Posted on 22 January 2008

Ok, this isn't the first time this has happened, and each time it does I keep meaning to mention it here, but last night I was ambushed, mugged, and otherwise attacked. Read more

Where's Q-Bert?

By Stormblade - Posted on 18 January 2008

He's not at work, we all know that. In order to be at work, one has to have a job.

It's unlikely he's trying to reproduce. He's succeeded more than once, which many of us consider a minor miracle, and Pebbles is probably swatting him away ... again. Read more

MoriceRevek, Guitar God

MoriceRevek, Guitar God

So I was playing COD4 last night, waiting for Coxxorz to finish dinner and join me (BlackWalt wasn't supposed to join because he was supposed to be spending quality time with his wife, who fell asleep on him. Figures.) when I notice MoriceRevek appear online. I think, great!. We have another HoC member to sacrifice to the COD4 wolves. So I send him an invite. Read more

Timmies' cards just aren't quite ready

By Blackwalt - Posted on 17 January 2008

At Christmas I received three Timmies' gift cards. Something I was very happy about.

However, it seems that my regular drivethru stop is not totally prepared for them.

Here is a picture of my third issue with the Timmies' staff. Please note the bottom entry Request Additional tender 129.39. Yes, it was a $130 coffee. Where was I? Starbucks?

Needless to say, this erased my card completely and her simple question "How much money did you have on the card?" kind of tipped me off to the problem.

Hey Admin!!

I cannot see the polls or the search option after I log in. I can see them fine when I am not logged in, but as soon as I log in, they go away. Are you trying to tell me that my vote is not important? That my opinion does not matter? Should we then switch our polling section to use the Diebold (ack! now the secret service is going to show up at my door!) software? Or are we already using it?

The Unmanning of Blackwalt

By Stormblade - Posted on 11 January 2008

Last night Coxxorz and I witnessed the unmanning of Blackwalt. It was a sad moment. There he was finishing not once or twice, but three times at or near the bottom of the points list in COD4. On the last map, he finished five kills behind me!

Now, for me, this is no big deal. I suck. I admit it. On one map, I finished with ZERO kills. But hey, that's me. Read more

HOC Movie event: In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

By MauriceRevek - Posted on 11 January 2008

Well ladies, here is another movie that we must support, as it is based on that wonderful game, Dungeon Siege. Forgive me if I do not link to the actual game in the article, I am behind a firewall which prevents me from browsing to it.

With this stellar cast: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, Burt Reynolds, how could it possibly fail? Read more

It's not that I hate Microsoft.

By Blackwalt - Posted on 04 January 2008

Just their Xbox 360 support team. Yes, all of them.

You all know about my continuing and varied problems with MS Xbox 360 Tech Support. Just take a look at HoC node 46 , HoC node 103 (my favourite), HoC node 138 , HoC node 145 , HoC node 235 (kind of), HoC node 339 , HoC node 412 or the slightly misconstrued HoC node 224 which could have been their fault. It could have!!
