This weekend I filmed an epic new video with the help of my brilliant friends Adrian and Brook (Schnelly was there too, he just did a lot more hindering than helping). In short, it's a spoof on talk shows, and its called (you guessed it) the Steven Summers Show. I just finished editing it a few minutes ago and put it up on YouTube for all to enjoy. But enough talking about it; just watch it. Hopefully you'll you'll have as much fun watching as we did making it (ya, I know you didn't have any fun, Schnelly).
Don't miss the outtakes at the end of the show. Jeez, Fern messed up a lot (j/k man ;)
Oh, and leave a comment if you can. And RATE IT 5 STARS, DAMMIT!!!
In other news, according to the our latest poll, Chase does, in fact, like men. Now we just have to wait for him to realize it....(I kid the Chaze! Do not hurt me!)

Super Paper Mario Video
This is a video of a review for the game Super Paper Mario for the Wii. Schnelly sent it to me last night and I thought it was pretty funny, so why not share it with y'all. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
Also, I'm thinking of changing the theme of the blog (Bioshock is SO 3 months ago). Do you have any ideas? Just leave a comment if you do, and make sure they're hardcore. I don't want any gay crap messing up the epic-ness that is my blog.
Keepin' it real, and...

Writer's Strike
You've probably heard this by now, but on Monday the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) went on strike. "Big whoop," you say, "what good are writers, anyway?" Well friends, without these writers, we are utterly f%&#ed. Until their demands are met, or some kind of deal is struck, the production of scripts for nearly all television programming comes to an abrupt halt. Let's see what that means for us:
Heroes - A shortened season of 10-15 episodes.
House - Another shortened season.
Pushing Daisies - A shortened season, not to mention the threat of cancellation (due to the fact that this is the show's premier season.
The Office - Even Steve Carell is on strike. No more Office this year. Dammit Steve, you are no longer in my High Five! (j/k man, we're cool)
Lost - Season could be cut in half (as it isn't scheduled to begin until February, not much work has been done on it)
24- Probably won't air this year at all, due to the necessity of 24 episodes.
Luckily, South Park and The Simpsons remain largely unaffected by this blasphemy. And blasphemy it is.
An episode centred on Guitar Hero!? Sweet.I don't like to take sides on this issue, as I respect the writers' demands, especially those who aren't making 6 figure salaries. However, no TV and no beer make HOMER GO CRAZY!
Obviously, I'm quite upset that my TV viewing will be cut short this year. Very upset. My only hope is that these Hollywood assholes can make a deal that satisfies everyone as soon as possible, so my weekly viewings can continue as undisturbed. DAMMIT, TV IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS EDUCATION! GIMME MY BOOB TUBE!!!
If this lasts long enough, movies will even be affected. Pray to God it doesn't go that far.

The High Five
Yes, I'm sorry. It's been over half a month since my last blog post, and I'm sure you're all very mad at me. I have no excuse. I suppose I could blame it on school, but that would just be lying. It's really due to an increase in video game activity, lots of TV, and downright laziness. For which I truly do apologize. But enough of that.
The real point of this post is to introduce a new feature I hope to implement every once in a while, called "The High Five". I kind of stole the idea from another blog on another website, but I'm sure (hopefully) the author won't mind. Basically, The High Five is a series of five objects, events, people, places, etc. that I currently find to be very cool, and thus, I will be telling you about them in moderate detail. Also look for the upcoming "Low Five". I'm sure you can guess what that is.
THE HIGH FIVE - Nov. 2007
5. The month of November:
November is essentially the best month in the world of video games. Every November, a boatload of awesome games are shipped to retail, at which point, the consumer (Me) is able to jump into their fruity goodness (I'm not sure why they're fruity). This year, November is bringing us such frantastic (that's not a typo) titles as Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, Mass Effect, and Call of Duty 4 just to name a few. Yes, November is a sweet, sweet month, which we shall cherish by suckling at its generous game spewing teat.
4. The Grindhouse:
This movie came out some time last April in the theaters as a three hour long, super-awesome double-feature horror film. The first movie in the Grindhouse, directed by the one and only Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, etc.) is aptly named "Death Proof". It entails the shenanigans of a silly (and oh so disturbed) stunt man who's one true purpose in life is to mow down poor, unsuspecting, sexy ladies in his crazy-ass, "death proof" stunt car. The second feature revolves around a rag-tag group of survivors in the aftermath of a bio-weapons experiment that went horribly, horribly wrong. It's called "Planet Terror" and is the spawn of director Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Spy Kids). Both flicks are awesome and definitely must-see, now that they are both out on DVD.
3. Phantom Hourglass:
My apologies to all you phools who thought Nintendo couldn't pull it off, but you were wrong. Complete touch control works in a Zelda game. And it works well. The control is fluid, responsive, and incredible. You can draw the path of your boomerang, the swipe of your sword, and much more. This game was built from the ground up specifically for the Nintendo DS system, and it shows. Not once have I thought to myself during my experience (so far), "Now I wish I could've used a D-Pad here." The stylus works perfectly in almost every regard, however, I do think they could have used a button for rolling, and sometimes the stylus can get in the way of the action, but otherwise, it is nearly flawless. I can't believe its taken a developer this long to fully utilize the DS's capabilities in such an amazing and clever way. 9/10
2. Steve Carell:
This guy is hilarious. If you don't know who he is, you deserve a shotgun round to the head. Watch "The Office". It's the best comedy on TV right now, and he's a big part of what makes it so great. If you haven't seen "40 Year Old Virgin" by now, now's as good a time as any. And his new movie, "Dan in Real Life", is exceptional. Don't be fooled by its seemingly touchy-feely exterior, because even though this isn't one of his slapstick, crazy-ass comedies, it's still damn good. Both my brother and I were pleasantly surprised. 8/10

HOLY CRUDMUFFINS! I'MMAH BE ABLE TO DRIVE ALL BY MAHSLEF IN LESS THAN TEH MONTHZORz!!1!!111!!1!!1 Sorry about that. But it's true. And I CAN'T F@#$ING WAIT! I will be free. FREE! So y'all better start sucking up to me if you wanna go places (Hint: I like candy).
That's all folks. Till next time, I'm...
