One Small Step For...

I can't help but feel a certain amount of pride. Asian Pride.

Not AZN Pride, the Asian one. While watching the new Star Trek movie and enjoying it, I was thoroughly surprised to see John Cho in the movie.

I was aware of the character Asian American character Hikaru Sulu, It never dawned on me they would have to cast him in the new movie as well.

I'm not very familiar with the original series, but I was shocked when about half way through the movie, it was he that saved the day. Without mentioning spoilers, he and a few group members are sent on a mission to disable something. In a fury of karate kicks and sword techniques, it is he, the Asian actor who defeats the bad guys.

John Cho, you've come a long way from being the MILF guy in American Pie and Harold Lee in Harold and Kumar. You're probably the most well known Asian actor in America right now, enjoy it buddy. You've earned it.

I would also I like to point out that the original Actor George Takei is Japanese American, while Cho is Korean-American. It's fine that they're changing it up. But since they not going for complete accuracy, I would like to throw my name in the ring. Should John Cho hold out for more money in the next movie, I am fully qualified and available to fit the stereotype even though I'm Chinese American.

Oh yeah, Eric Bana....still a horrible Actor.

OMG... NO... JUST... NO

Dragon Age: Origins is well... aparantly... the "new shit".

The things video game developers of old do to appeal to the modern gamer--frightening.

Dear lord. This was in my top most anticipated of the year. What the fuck is this shit??

Happy Mother Day

In addition to all those who special women in our lives, let's not forget about one of the games we've still never officially gotten here. Some one help me find a way to play this translated rom not on my PC.

Oh yeah, Happy Mother's Day.

Has anyone seen the Star Trek movie? I'm probably going to go watch it tomorrow night, any good?

Thanks,
David

New Beyond Good and Evil 2 "Footage"

So here are my thoughts. If Ubisoft turns Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, and now Beyond Good and Evil into Assassins Creed... what the fuck if a person who doesn't like Assassins Creed supposed to play?

*fart*

To be fair... this does get me a wee bit excited. The Beyond Good and Evil universe does have one thing that all those other Ubisoft games seem to lack: "Nonlameness".

It's Too Late For Me

Dear 4PlayerPodcast Community,

As you may have noticed, I've been having troubles finding time to post recently. I don't know how to say this, but it's over for me. There is no turning back. I've opened a door and cannot find a way to close it. I could try to put the blame on someone else, but that would be foolish. It was my own fault for opening it in the first place and the fatal disease that I contracted was of my own accord.

It started out as just a little fun, I never meant for it to go as far as it has. But now it has sucked my life out and eventually will claim my soul. I am addicted to the Japanese TV Drama....

I tried so hard for years to avoid watching any. I barley made it past Attention Please. Nodame Cantabile was a difficult time for me. But now because of a recent Mei-chan no Shitsuji, I've lost. 

I guess the third time was the charm. Now I am wrapped up in Atashinchi no Danshi and Hana Yori Dango. I have Hana Kimi downloading. I am currently looking for Celeb to Binbo Taro, and Nobuta wo Produce, Innocent Love, and Orange Days.

It's over for me guys. It was nice knowing you. But it will probably be a while before you see me again.

Sayonara...

Call of Juarez looks.... Not as Cool?

Just kidding, "Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood" looks like it could deliver but I think it will definitely be overshadowed by the likes of Red Dead Redemption later this year.

Red Dead Redemption Looks.... Cooler?

Brad

Red Steel 2 Looks... Cool?

Ok Ubisoft... you got my attention.
