Facts About Chuck Norris

Okay, so these are great. They are taken from here and here. These are some of my favourites.

-Guns don’t kill people. Chuck Norris kills People.

-A Chuck Norris-delivered Roundhouse Kick is the preferred method of execution in 16 states.

-Newton’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

-In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Chuck Norris.

-Chuck Norris can divide by zero

-Chuck Norris did not get acquired by Yahoo. He traveled back in time to 1849 and started Yahoo! himself. Now you know how the gold-rush started.
-The bubble burst because Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked it to the face.

-Chuck Norris doesn’t search Google. He just stares at the screen until Google pops the website he needs.

New Film: ROAM

For the past year, we have been hard at work on our new film, ROAM. As the title suggests, we have been exploring the world with some of the best riders on the planet, and we found some amazing places to ride. ROAM is currently in post-production and will be ready for release in April.

~ The Collective

Okay, so this is really exciting. When The Collective came out in 2004, it was one of the best mountain biking films, and still is. I have been waiting for them to come out with another one. I think this one will be amazing. I can’t wait to see it.

They also have a really cool new site. Check it out here. To watch the teaser, which was just released, click here.

New Toys

Well yesterday was a good day, for new toys anyway. My new iPod came via FedEx. I was really excited about that. Then at around 7, Toys R Us phoned, and my XBOX 360 was in stock. It was like the best news ever. I couldn’t get it cause I went to the dance, which sucked by the way. It wasn’t Sarah’s planning, because she put a lot of work into it, it just sucked. Anyways, my mom and dad picked it up for me. It is so fun, and it looks so good! I got the premium, cause I mean what is the point of the Core, its stupid. Anyways, I posted some pics of it and the iPod over at Flickr

Coolest Christmas Lights EVER!!

Okay, so these people take the cake on the Christmas Lights. This is so awesome, and it just gets better and better! I wish someone around here would do something like this. Basically, these people took their lights and synced up with some music. I mean its way cooler than that, but in short, thats basically what it is.

I don’t think it would be that hard to do actually. All you would need to do, is have all you lights come to one place. Have that hooked into your computer, and away you go. You could then program the light show, on your computer, then sit back and watch the amazing show. Just like they do in Vegas, except they do it with water.

Anyways, the video is definitly worth checking out. Yes, I know its WMV, buts its so good, that it makes up for that. The music is Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

The End of a Star Wars Marathon…

Well, today we ended our Star Wars Marathon. We started at around noon, and finished at around 7pm. The first two were better than I remember them. The second one has a lot of cheesy scenes in them though. Anyways, it was good, and fun was had by all. I would definitly recommend doing it, it is really fun. So if you have a few extra days, go for it. You won’t regret it. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

The Beginnings of a Star Wars Marathon…

Ok, so today at about 11 am or so, we started our little marathon. It is now 6:48 pm, and we just finished the third episode. We are going to watch the other three tomorrow. It is insane! Who thought of this idea? I don’t know how people can do it. Sit in front of the tv for hours on end that is. Yeah well, it was fun. Anyways, I just thought I let you all know, cause you know, thats what a blog is for.

Bouncy Balls

This has to be one the coolest commericals I have ever seen. Its so cool, and it is in H.264. It looks so sweet!! For those of you out there, without the newest Quicktime, there is a low res version too. To view the commerical click here, then click on ‘high’ or ‘low’ on the right hand side.
From the Bouncy Balls site:

Bouncy Balls: The BRAVIA Commercial

“When you’re introducing the next generation of television, you want to make an impact – but that doesn’t mean you have to shout at the top of your voice. And it doesn’t mean you have to be predictable. To announce the arrival of the BRAVIA LCD and 3LCD range, we wanted to get across a simple message – that the colour you’ll see on these screens will be ‘like no other’.”

“Sending 250,000 multi-coloured ’superballs’ bouncing down the streets of San Francisco may seem the strangest way to do this, but that’s exactly what Danish director Nicolai Fuglsig did for the BRAVIA commercial in July this year. San Franciscans have seen some unusual things in their time, but even this gave them something to talk about. And we’ve got the feeling that this commercial is going to do exactly the same thing.”

New James Bond

Well, I have been reading up on the new James Bond, Casino Royale, and I have to say, I think it is going to suck. I mean, how can you have a Bond movie without Moneypenny and Q? Or a James Bond film with less emphasis on stunts and gadgets? Its poposterous. People go to Bond films for the gadgets, the cars, the stunts etc. It’s a spy movie, it is supposed to have good stunts and fancy gadgets. That’s the point!!!! I think that this movie will flop for them. I’m hoping it does, so they’ll go back to what was good. I don’t get how they think that its going to work. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

I think this quote is pretty funny.
“Niether Miss Moneypenny nor Q will appear. Neither of them are in the book.” Michael G. Wilson said. “The film will update the novel but stick very closely to the storyline. In the story, Bond is just joining the service.”

Its funny because, if they wanted to stick close to the novel, they should be keeping Moneypenny. He says that she doesn’t appear.

“Miss Moneypenny would have been desirable but for eyes which were cool and direct and quizzical.” That’s in the book.

Do you suppose he’s actually read the book? I mean, I haven’t, I’d like to, if I could find it. Anyways, thats not the point, my point is, he is the Producer, he needs, NEEDS to have read the book.

I think that they will eventually script Q and Moneypenny back into the script. I just don’t know about this one. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens in the next little while.

Katamari Damacy

Well, I figured it was time for an update, and there isn’t a better time to for it.

First, I want to talk about Katamari Damacy. This is an amazing game! Well the graphics might not be the best, it is very, very original. The point of the game is to roll things up. You are the Prince. Your father, the King of All Cosmos, got drunk (it doesn’t come out and say this in the US version, but in the Japanese version it does) and destroyed the night sky. He then sends you to Earth to roll things up to recreate the night sky. Its pretty crazy, but it is oh so fun. You don’t have any villains or bosses. You are going against the time, but this isn’t a puzzle game. It is in a genre of its own!

Anyways, it has this crazy intro video. It looks as if the person who made it was on drugs. There is dancing pandas, lots of mushrooms and rainbows. It is crazy!!! For your viewing pleasure I present the intro video of Katamari Damacy. My thanks goes out to IGN for having the video available on the web.
