I Totally Agree - How Iron Man 3 Should Have Ended

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:07:00 +0000

I know everyone's into the Superman reboot nowadays but I just wanted to remind everyone how lame Iron Man 3's plot was. Everything would have been avoided if Tony Stark just let loose all his armors in the first place. Anyways, HISHE's got a great way of showing us all the blunders and illogical stuff that happened in the movie. Just go ahead and watch the parody after the break and see how Iron Man 3 should've ended. It's a great way to spend 4 minutes of your boring life.

In Case You're Interested - Mirror's Edge 2 Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:14:00 +0000

I'm not actually sure how to feel about Mirror's Edge 2 because the only version I played was on the iPad. I'm not even sure how this game's played on the console. I'd also be lying if I said I understood whatever it is that was happening in the trailer. All I saw was a couple hands and feet punching some security guards. Anyways, I'm sure Mirror's Edge fans out there are thrilled to get there hands on this game when it comes out. One thing I know for sure though, Lucy Liu should definitely play this character in a movie.

When You Have $1,199 Lying Around - 2013 Alienware Gaming Laptops

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:01:00 +0000

Now that Alienware's revealed their new gaming laptops I guess the hardcore mobile gamers will have more options to choose from. I know people would like to get Razer's 14 inch blade but if you really don't mind the bulk of Alienware's new gaming laptops you might end up saving a couple hundred bucks. I'm glad that Alienware switched over to metal alloys bodies rather than the plastic stuff they've been using. I'm sure it's going to feel a little more solid than what we're used to. Not that I own any of these behemoths, but I'm willing to get one of these to review on our site if any of the guys from Alienware are feeling generous. Anyways, just go ahead and drool on the trailer after the break.

Because Ancient Wars Look Good In Movies - 300: Rise Of An Empire Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:30:00 +0000

We all know that the first 300 movie killed all the Spartan warriors that defended their land. Maybe that's why we can't wait to see how they 'd take revenge against the forces of Xerxes or whatever his name was. I'd go ahead and Google it but I'm too damned lazy to do anything. There's a new lady warrior that's commanding one side and I'm actually not sure which one. Anyways, March 2014 is still a long way to go but I'm hoping this'll be the last time they change the release date of this movie. Nothing more to say but just go ahead and check the whole trailer after the break to see what all the fuss is about.

In Case You're Interested - Destiny Game Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:58:00 +0000

I don't even know what this new game called "Destiny" is about and I don't even think I'll be interested to play it. All I know is that a lot of people are raving about it and it's kind of the only reason I'm posting about it. Anyways, if you liked Halo and Call of Duty this post apocalyptic future of a game will probably hit that FPS game sweet spot. Now just go ahead and watch the trailer after the break if you're still interested.

This Looks Like A Different Game - Final Fantasy XV Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:50:00 +0000

I'm not really sure how hardcore fans of the Final Fantasy franchise will react to this new game. Final Fantasy XV doesn't play like the usual Final Fantasy titles we loved growing up. I think the guys over at Square Enix are thinking the encounter engine we're used to really isn't going to work with new fans. The result is a game that looks like a first person shooter but plays like a hack and slash, sort of. I think the only reason they can call this a Final Fantasy game is because of the character designs. Now I'm no Final Fantasy expert but I did play Final Fantasy VII growing up and to be honest I'm kind of missing that kind of game play and strategy in these titles. Anyways, the animations and cinematic trailer still looks great as for the entire game as a whole, I think we have no choice but wait for it to come out on the PS4. For now just go ahead and watch the entire trailer after the break and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

This One's For The Legolas Fans - The Hobbit: Desolation Of Smaug Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:55:00 +0000

I guess we'll just have to lose sleep until December 13, 2013, unless we find a way to watch The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug earlier. Come to think of it, I wouldn't want to watch it any other way than in a big theater with great booming sounds. Really have nothing much to say about this movie because everybody's probably going to rave about it sooner or later without any help from me. So all I really need to do now is just point you over to the break so you can watch the whole trailer after the break and probably gasp when you see Legolas do his bow and arrow thing on the Dwarfs.

This Kinda Reminds Me Of The Matrix - Man Of Tai Chi Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:38:00 +0000

Hey look! Keanu Reeves is still alive! I guess he was just taking his sweet time and learning everything he can about directing his own movie. I'm actually glad he chose to do an action type of movie that kind of reminds me of the kung-fu moves in The Matrix. Anyways, Man of Tai Chi is about an underground fight club that Keanu's supposedly heading and making money out of. Eventually he gets bored and wants to turn the seemingly peaceful martial art of Tai Chi into a killing art instead. If the fight scenes in the trailer after the break is any indication fo what to expect in the movie I guess I'll be lining up the theaters just to see this when it comes out in a couple of months.

I'd Probably Run Too - Animated Short Film: Exit

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:24:00 +0000

I always liked great colorful animations, and to be honest that's why I like to stay online and just waste away minutes of my life enjoying moving pictures. I don't even need any witty dialogues and complicated backstories I just need great visuals and a couple of plot twists here and there to keep things interesting. That's what I got when I watched this animated short entitled "Exit". It's about a working class guy who's already going home tired from work and real world stuff and loses it when the automated parking ticket machine suddenly "malfunctions". You've got to watch it 'til the end to get the moral of the story if you know what I mean. It's a great way to spend 4 minutes of your boring life anyway.

When You Want To Play The Zombie Side - Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:05:00 +0000

It looks like the Plants Vs. Zombies franchise is making a big comeback not only as the popular lawn defense game but with other game types as well. Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is going to be a third person shooter game that will let you play on either the zombie side or the plants side. Depending on what you want to accomplish this game is going to be fun. I'm sure there's going to be different types of zombies and plants to use with their own set of skills to defeat the enemy and I'm glad that Angry Birds didn't think of this first. Just go ahead and check the reveal trailer after the break and tell us what you think in the comments below.

If Only Hacking Stuff Was This Easy - Watch_Dogs Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:40:00 +0000

I guess it was only a matter of time before somebody released a hacker themed kind of game. The pre-E3 trailer of Watch_Dogs gives us a little more insight as to what the whole game is about and yeah, it's about hackers taking down organized crime and stuff. Now I'm pretty sure real life hackers rarely have any combat skills but if the action scenes in the trailer are going to be the same as in-game I'd probably be forced to pick one up just so I can make my own movie out of it. Anyways, just go ahead and check the whole trailer after the break.

In Case You're Interested - Kingdom Rush Frontiers Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:21:00 +0000

Yeah, I know we're already late with posting news about the new Kingdom Rush sequel "Kingdom Rush: Frontiers". It's not like we're not lazy here and I'm pretty sure if we had any real fans out there who check this site frequently would probably be already used to all the news coming out late because that's just how we roll. Anyways, there's only a few games on my iPad and Kingdom Rush is one of the very few tower defense games I play and with good reason. The graphics look great and the addition of heros in the game gives me kind of a Warcraft 3 feel whenever I play it. If you played the first Kingdom Rush game the sequel promises to give us more towers to use and an even cooler upgrade tree to try out and of course more enemies and heros to use. Go ahead and watch the trailer after the break and go ahead and download it for your tablet or smartphone.

I'll Worship Anyone Who Gives Me This - 14" Razer Blade Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:41:00 +0000

So the new Intel Processor's dubbed Haswell will probably be in every laptop and ultrabook we see in the coming months. Although we haven't seen real world reviews of the new chips it's already making powerful gaming laptops thin and light enough that you can take it anywhere without worrying about your spinal cord snapping in half. One great example is the 14" Razer Blade, it's thinner than a US Dime and powerful enough to run Crysis and other high end games to date. Now I'm sure I won't get to play with this because of all the weight transferred over to it's price but I have to say that I'll worship anyone who sends me one of these to play with. Now it's only a matter of time before we see what Alienware's got up their sleeve but for now just go ahead and watch the drool worthy trailer of the 14" Razer Blade after the break.

I Agree, It's Really About Time - Plants Vs Zombies 2 Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:15:00 +0000

Apparently the long awaited sequel to Popcap's popular lawn defense game is about to hit tablets and smartphones around July 11th. Plants Vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time! can't have a better title, it's really about time we get to play with new plants and probably new zombies in this new game. Now I'm not sure what new modes the developers will have us go through but it looks like time travel is the theme of the game among other stuff. It's going to be free to play with in-game purchases of course to keep the lights on over at Popcap. I just hope they manage to turn this into a full animated movie given that the trailer looks so great.

When You Have No Time To Watch The Full Movie - Speedrun: Aliens In 60 Seconds

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 06:05:00 +0000

I don't actually remember what the hell happened in the Aliens Trilogy. Luckily I came across this really short animated film that kind of explains the whole franchise in 60 seconds of cute scribbles. It's actually a great way to waste 60 seconds of your boring life rather than watching all of the 3 movies of Aliens. Anyways, time is gold so go ahead and watch the whole thing after the break and try to relive all the gory details if you can.

In Case You're Interested - Xbox One Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:48:00 +0000

I'm more of a Playstation kind of guy but with all the consoles going for an upgrade I'm pretty sure Microsoft and Sony will want more people to use their latest and greatest gaming box. As we haven't seen what the actual Playstation 4 looks like and what it really does, it's nice to see Microsoft being brave and be the one to show off their next generation console. The Xbox One's got a ton of features to make your TV smarter aside from just being a gaming console. I'm not sure what that means for us here in the Philippines but far as I'm concerned I just want cool games to go with it. I was about to buy a Xbox 360 with Kinect a couple weeks ago and I'm glad I held on to my cash since prices would probably go down once the Xbox One becomes available to us mere mortals. No details on price and actual release date yet so for now just go ahead and watch the trailer after the break.

I'm Hoping There's No Kryptonite This Time - Man Of Steel Trailer 3

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:34:00 +0000

I'm not really a big fan of the Superman movies but it looks like Zach Snyder's version of the Man of Steel is looking to be something I can watch. I don't know why but I always get bored of the villains getting the shard of kryptonite and waving it at Superman's face just so we can feel that the villain can actually hurt him. This time however it looks like aliens from another planet are hunting down Kal-El and they're willing to destroy the whole planet just to get him. Let's just see if the Man of Steel is worth the wait when it comes out on June 14th to us mere mortals.

Why Is The Silver Samurai A Robot? - The Wolverine Trailer 2

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:18:00 +0000

Apparently the excitement I had with the Silver Samurai showing up in the Wolverine movie just got blew up. Unfortunately the movie writers thought that he would be better of as a big robot rather than an actual human being with super skills. I'm hoping I'm wrong here but the trailer after the break looks like it's got a really big Samurai Robot that's going to be torn apart by Wolverine. I just wish it has a human pilot somewhere inside but then again it takes away the cool thing about the Silver Samurai in the first place. Anyways, just go ahead and watch the trailer after the break.

Jennifer Aniston Playing A Stripper - We're The Millers Movie Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:05:00 +0000

When I saw the title for this movie I immediately assumed that I was going to pass watching the trailer. Thankfully I read a line or two of the plot and it when I read that it had Jennifer Aniston playing a stripper I had to watch it. We're The Millers is about a drug mule David that hired a stripper and a bunch of delinquents to pose as his family while he was smuggling a ton of weed from Mexico. To be honest I really don't care what happens in the movie or what it's about. All I care about is Jennifer Aniston playing the stripper. Go ahead and catch a glimpse of her in some undies at the trailer after the break.

Everyone's Having Fun Without You - Not Invited Horror Movie Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:40:00 +0000

Nowadays it's coming to a point where we're no longer scared of the boogeyman and sexy gay vampires. In the age of Instagram and Facebook the thing that scares most of us is not being invited to a party that everyone's raving about in Twitter or your favorite social media. If you immediately say you don't care that you've not been invited just says you're in denial or think that nobody's gonna have fun without you (Google "Sour Graping"). Anyways, just go ahead and watch the Parody Horror Movie Trailer the guys from College Humor whipped up for us and see how much of it relates to you.

Aliens Would Love Caffeine Too - Coffee Propaganda Animated Short

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:20:00 +0000

I've always like how great animated short films try to entertain us. Luckily every now and then they do more than just entertain us, they can also be very informative. Like this animated short I found on Vimeo. "Coffee Propaganda" is set on an alien planet where they recently discovered the coffee bean and it's miraculous physiological properties. I can say that I'm really glad that I drink coffee now because I thought it was going to be bad for me like what they say about cigarettes. Now I know it's good for my health but really bad for the wallet when you buy it at Starbucks. Watch the animated short film after the break and learn a couple more things about coffee in the next 2 minutes.

Scarlett Johansson And Porn In One Movie - Don Jon Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:04:00 +0000

I'm pretty sure every actor eventually wants to direct his own movie. I'm thinking it's kind of like when we normal people get promoted to be the boss in the office. Now it looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt's got his first try at the director's seat with his upcoming movie "Don Jon". Now I'm normally not interested in his movies but for some reason he got all the elements guys need in a movie, Scarlett Johansson and porn. I'm pretty sure that we won't see nude scenes of Scarlett here but knowing that she's in the movie with porn being mentioned all over the place will probably get guys to watch this movie when it comes out around October of this year. The trailer's not safe to watch around kids so make sure they're out of the room when all the porn words start coming out.

It's A Jungle Out There In Space - Destiny Official Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sat, 25 May 2013 03:47:00 +0000

I'm pretty sure this is another First Person Shooter kind of game with a mix of strategy here and there. Destiny is an action-packed game from the guys who gave us Halo and Call of Duty. Now I haven't played a minute of Halo in my life because I'm more of a Street Fighter kind of guy but I do like great CG Animation which the trailer gives me. And as much as I'd like to say it's all CG there's also a couple of live-action clips of a guy reading to his son about "The Law of the Jungle". Just go ahead and check the break to watch the beautiful trailer and probably be excited to watch the gameplay trailer coming out on June 10th alongside Sony's E3 conference.

They Won't Expect Kids To Fight! - Ender's Game Movie Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:17:00 +0000

I don't know why but writers nowadays seem to want kids to go into battle or war of some sort. If you loved the Hunger Games books and movie you already know what I'm talking about. Most likely because it's an idea that sells and you have kids wishing they had some kind of super hero power and saving the world or something like that. In the Ender's Game Movie Earth was attacked by aliens and humanity was almost wiped out, now the only thing that can defeat the alien invaders are specially trained soldiers which are kids. The movie justifies the plot as something the enemy wouldn't expect. It's based on a great selling book so what could go wrong right? Anyways, just go ahead and watch Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley order a bunch of kids to destroy the enemy in the trailer after the break.

Jetpacks Could've Solved Their Problems - Gravity Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (Jab Escutin) — Sun, 12 May 2013 16:30:00 +0000

I don't know what to think about a movie that has Sandra Bullock and George Clooney all alone in space. Fro some reason I like them better in witty movies like Ocean's Eleven or something similarly themed. Anyways, the movie "Gravity" is about 2 astronauts who get stuck in space after there shuttle got trashed by some sort of explosion or collision. It's probably aliens, no other reasonable explanation with that sort of thing. Anyways, just go ahead and check the teaser trailer after the break.
