Achievement Unlocked: Dammit RAAM edition

So guess what game is freaking impossible to beat on Insane? Gears of War. Well, impossible to beat without dying many horrible, horrible deaths, that is. Playing on insane effectively makes you the weakest person ever. Everyone can survive a point blank grenade, except you.

And because of this, the final boss, RAAM, is one of the hardest bosses I've ever fought. Not because he has an impenetrable shield, not because there are also enemies firing at you from the sky, not because there are thousands of Kryll in the sky waiting to eat me, and not because my teammate Dom is an idiot that gets himself killed right away... it's because he's a fucking dead-on aim with a gatling gun. And will kill you in under a second. Yet, the only reason I beat this monstrosity is because my AI Teammate, Dom, had to be an idiot and keep getting himself killed. Except on the last time, he died in such a place that RAAM could not come any closer to me. Thus ensuring sweet victory, granted I wasn't out of cover for more than 1 second at a time.

And who the hell came up with exploding Wretches? This game is extremely fun, but I mean come on, why do you have to make something that kills me fast kill me after its dead? (Read: Act 3 sucks ass.)

In either case, this brings Matt up to 500 achievement points in Gears of War. Woot!

Screw Halo, go play some Gears. >_>

User Submission time!

We welcome user submissions, so here's one from... my mom.

This Week In Comics (was uneventful)

Not a whole lot new came out. There was a new World War Hulk, which is entertaining to read, but pretty predictable. Everyone knew Sentry was gonna come into play for issue 5, so there were no real surprises. Just what this series is good at: lots of random fighting and random sound effects. There was a "SCHLOOOORF" this issue, but that's nothing compared to "Krakka Bathroom!" from issue one.
If you want me to keep buying WWH, at least throw in a "That's what she said joke". Oh wait. You already did.

Editor's Note: Yes, I know, comics come out on Wednesday, and today is a Tuesday, which makes me almost a week behind. I know.

Achievement Unlocked - Gun, Oblivion, and teh haloz Edition

So I finally got around to writing the new xbox 360 related column I mentioned back in the day. I'm calling it Achievement Unlocked, because I already had the graphic made, and I'm too lazy to think of a better name.

Recently, I got Oblivion and Gun in the mail through Goozex. I quickly beat Gun 100% on easy which gave me every achievement but 3 (beating the game on medium, hard, and expert). I'll probably go back and get 'em eventually.

I was playing through Oblivion, trying to get the achievements for beating the main storyline before getting to the various guilds. About 3/4 of the way through, the game froze and all my save games became corrupted. So I cursed a bit and then made a new character and am flying through the thieves guild quests.

Played a bit of Guitar Hero II, but accomplished nothing. Now that Freya's beat on expert, I've hit another wall. Need to get the unlocking all the characters achievement, but other than that, all of the achievements are near impossible or co-op.

Some of my 360 time has been spent playing teh haloz. I also have been exclusively calling it 'teh haloz' and will continue to do so until 'teh new haloz' comes out.

I'm at 6740. 7000 soon?

Sounds delicious


I knew TV shows other than Lost talked about needing to eat.
Metalocalypse is friggin' funny, BTW.

My hellza exciting weekend


I basically sat around playing video games (oblivion, gun, teh haloz), watching tv (lost, bones, prison break) and reading old comic books, mainly x-men. I started reading the dark pheonix saga. It's a classic. I also plopped down 6 bucks for a copy of X-Men (vol2) Issue 1. Now I just need issues 2-199, and I'll be up to date!

The Last of the Lost

All good things must come to an end, and as such, so have my lost videos (at least until Season 4, orI go back to seasons 1-2). But hey, there's other shows, and I don't think the videos will be stopping.



Anyway, enjoy!

This Week In Comics: New Avengers 34


Welcome to a brand new segment where I tell you what comic books came out this week and if anything humorous happened. For example:


If you read New Avengers 34, that picture will make (more) sense. Also, Punisher War Journal ended it's sucky streak with a pretty tight issue. More suck to come? Iron and The Maiden is pretty awesome as well.

Also, the Iron Man trailer hit the interwebs, and it's hilarious in that "Hey, I've never even read a comic book, but lets make a movie about a comic book character anyways. And lets throw a Sabbath song in the background that has the same title as the movie, but is completely unrelated. Awesome idea." kind of way.

And now... a scene with no context!



So, it's been a while since I posted, but I think tonight's motherload should make it worthwhile.

Video takes a while, and I've been meaning to up these, but my internets have been clogged.

Shoot 'Em Up


Go see Shoot 'Em Up. As much of an action film as it is, I would classify it more as a comedy/awesome. Also, within the first five minutes, it makes YNTE proud. Remember kids and people trying to kill Smith, eat your vegetables.

You Need to NOT Eat?



This just in, guys. Eating is a sin! Eat at your own risk.

There's at least one more Lost video coming. Probably more.

Monday, September 10, 2007

And I thought all I needed was to eat!



Yay for more video! I need to watch Lost more often, apparently.

As I find more, I'll keep upping them. If I get enough, I'll edit them all down into one video.

I'll YouTube it soon.

He SO deserved it.

I reccomend you all pick up the most recent issue of Amazing Spider-Man. The Iron Man/Spider-Man fighe was a classic. Not much else out in comics this week though.

Ch-ch-ch-changes


So, if you check the site often, you may have noticed an alarming lack of updates over the past couple weeks. Matt, I'm sure, is very busy with his first year of college starting and his "computer problems". So he gets a bit of a pass. But what's my excuse?

Well, I did just move, but that's only part of it. I guess finding random images and putting words on them just doesn't hold the same appeal it used to. At the same time, this blog is AWESOME and I don't want to watch it die. So I found a solution: make it topical.

So from now on, there'll be a few things different, and really not all that different from the recent stuff. I'll write a few sentences or so about what's been going on in my life, along with a captioned picture that relates somehow. For example, if I've been watching Prison Break, I'll post a picture of T-Bag's gangly, handless, self saying YNTE. Nothing life changing, just a little bit more of an incentive for me to keep it up by making it a bit more personalized. And I promise it'll be little inane shit like "I played GTA" not emotional shit that nobody cares about like "I cut my wrists becuz im so loneliez". Ug. Nobody want's to read that and it's not funny. Unless my emotional anguish were anorexia and I really did need to eat. That'd be ironic. But I digress.

And hell, I may still throw in a couple random ones of a guy holding a banana that has nothing to do with anything.

I'm not really sure what Matt will do at this point, could be a little bit of anything.

On top of that all, there are a couple other things I want to point out/add/change. First of all, user submissions are not only allowed, they are encouraged! So caption images and send 'em in to weneedtoeat@gmail.com and we'll post them! Unless they suck.

Also I want to start up some sort of podcast and also a semi regular column about the Xbox 360 and how I have no life and use it way too much. More on those as they come to fruit, they are still just ideas.

So in short, some things may be changing, but should still be crazy-go-nuts-fun.
