Happy New Year!

Okay, so it’s the new year.

Now what? Well, for one, I plan to be more active here.

I have many things that have pissed me off lately, but no time to rant! What sadness it’s caused.

Well, let’s talk about things I liked about twenty-ten.

Favorite Metal Album

Fear Factory – Mechanize

So, Fear Factory has been missing for a while. I’m sure they’ve been busy. Upon hearing that they were geared up for another album, I wasn’t super excited. Not that I didn’t like any of their previous albums, but I was thinking, how long can they push the Industrial Metal thing until it gets boring or they lose their touch or passion for it?

Man was I wrong to question them. This is honestly one of my favorite Fear Factory albums of all time. The metal is heavy enough to make my ears bleed. The lyrics are deep and show that there was definitely a thought process behind them. Not just random “die’s and kill’s”.

Overall, I have had this album on loop for the past week or so, as that was when I finally had time to sit down and listen to it. “Set this world on fire, wake up the Oxidizer!”

Favorite PC Game

Splinter Cell : Conviction

This was so much fun. Story driven with a satisfying ending (which is what many new games seem to fail with nowadays). Action was great, stealth was better. And this is the FIRST Splinter Cell game where the controls weren’t ass fucking me sideways! That’s right a keyboard friendly Splinter Cell game. That in itself made it soooo much better. Graphics were great, and style was pretty creative. Art director did a good job. Gadgets and AI were interesting. The AI actually made attempts to flank and trap me, so, that was fun.

Favorite PS3 Game

We all know what this is, don’t we?

Red Dead Redemption

This game harnesses that classic free-roam style that R* games is famous for and then drops amazing graphics and game play on it. Seriously, this game is so fucking good. Play it!

Favorite Event

Malaysian Dub Step Alliance’s Scream Event

More dub than chub that night. Head banging for a few hours, great crowd, amazing Dj’s and a shit load dub-step. Best event I’ve been to in years actually. It even out did the Slash concert I went to earlier that year. So good.

Favorite New Food Hot ‘n’ Roll

Rolled up pizza like food. Really good when you’re on the go. This is not a paid ad.

Favorite Life Changing Moment

“Can I have your access card?”

“Wait, you don’t want me to come in tomorrow?”

“No,” he said, “it’s nothing personal just a precaution.”

“Shit, was I that bad?”

That’s right, folks. Doctor Gill got let go.

But, I’m on to better bush.. wait, I mean greener pastures. Greener pastures that don’t smell so much like fish. Hehe.

Starting my own company, RedBlack Labs.

OOOOOOH YEAH!

Well, that’s it I guess. God bless, and Happy Fuckin’ New Year!
