I Am Cracked.Com

So there exist quite a few internet based video producers and quite a few of them are groups of people. There are some people who like CollegeHumor, some who like Smosh, but myself I’m a Cracked kind of guy. I understand my position may make me a rebel. Yes it’s true I color outside the lines, I use pretzel rods as cigars and I like Cracked, even when it was just a magazine, I’m a rebel without a cause but I’m thinking cancer research would be a good one.

Personally Cracked is my favorite group of people who make entertaining content. They might not be as big as CollegeHumor or as successful as Smosh but I feel like they really push out premium content on a regular basis where as the other have more of a hit and miss record with me, personally.

CollegeHumor has a way around sketches that put most groups to shame but at the same time they never really hit you with any introspection. It’s always just, hey let’s make a sketch that takes something that was once not serious then make it super serious: Minesweeper, Street Fighter, Dora the Explorer. Or a list of the people you know using archetypes. By no means am I trying to insult them I mean Every so often CH makes a really good sketch or hits a satirical point in social media with pin point accuracy.



Smosh is really just random humor and music video. I understand people like that and I won’t denigrate them for the things they have done, they do certainly put work into them it just seems far too similar to each other. It’s just set up, then random thing, end of video.



Cracked however, I feel like they are constantly setting out interesting video and articles that deal with a little bit of everything. They have videos and books dealing with just about every possible thing. Want an in depth pop culture analysis on musicals? Cracked has a video about it. Want to know about all the cool things in history that you don’t know about because it seemed less than important in an educational spectrum? Cracked has a book about all the cool and interesting things in life that seemed less than necessary to know for school. Think all those movies based off of historical figures or events are so cool and you feel like these people were heroes of the highest caliber? Well guess what. Cracked wants you to know all those people were huge dicks!



I like Cracked. They are interesting. They push the boundaries and really entertain me. Now I’ll leave you with my favorite sketch they have ever made.

My thoughts on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014

So the trailer for the new TMNT movie has been released and needless to say I’ve seen mixed reactions. I know some people who have said “Wow, here I am defending the hell out of the new TMNT movie. I honestly never thought I would but after seeing the trailer and keeping up with it since it was first announced a good time back, I want to see it.”

And I’ve also seen people saying how much they don’t like the looks of the upcoming “Bay-Make”. “If you want to give your children nightmares, show them the new Turtles trailer. Terrifying”

Personally I have mixed feelings on what I’ve seen. It looks nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be, despite showing Megan Fox in the trailer doing that wide eyed mouth agape look she is known for like she doesn’t have any clue what she is doing there. But thankfully she isn’t talking. More to the point I am worried about this movie.

I had made the choice to not care about or even see this upcoming movie when it was first announced. I said I’m done Bay has made me angry for the last time with Transformers 3 and I am done seeing his movies. Then he announced that he had acquired the rights to TMNT and I got scared and angry because I knew he would ruin it. Some people said “Hey man, let’s see what happens. Remember the first Transformers? Maybe it’ll be okay.” Then he announced that the turtles would be aliens. And everyone, Everyone (!), freaked out! A big hubbub was made and Bay put the turtles on the shelf, then he announced he was working on it again and that the turtles would be turtles again and then he announced filmed was beginning.

It was announced that Megan Fox had been cast as April O’Neal and yet again the world went “FUCK!” again. Then we heard nothing for a while. People whispered about who should be cast, rumor sprung up that turtles of the past should be playing these new turtles then it happened. The first looks at the new turtles.

 

The reactions as usual were mixed. Personally while all my friends said “I like them!” and “They look much better than I thought they would.” and even “They look so cool!”. I sat on the sidelines thinking, they seem a bit bulky to be ninjas and the feudal look is a bit much for me. Personally I didn’t hate them however I didn’t care for it. But I pulled myself off the bench and got back in line for the film, so it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Since then we have seen the trailer and I have to say of the 4 turtles we have heard 2 of them. Leonardo and Michelangelo are the only ones who speak in the trailer, as far as I am aware, however the voices of all of the turtles have been listed on Wikipedia, along with who will be playing Shredder and Splinter. The voices seem odd to me to hear these less than imposing voices coming from these very imposing turtles. The closest to fitting is Mikey but that is also debatable. I can only say you have to judge for yourself…

But I have to outright say. My biggest problem past the look of the turtles has to be the casting for Shredder and Splinter. How can that possible be my biggest problem with this upcoming (Possible) Childhood Dream Destroyer, with images of the actors doing motion capture like this.

Well to put it bluntly Shredder is a skinny old man from Drive Angry and Splinter is the dwarf I confuse for the dwarf from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I cannot honestly put it any more plainly than that. I am by no means complaining for the casting of a dwarf as splinter, a white guy maybe, but not because he is a dwarf. I assume Splinter will be CG like the turtles but it could be that he is a puppet or even and actor in a suit, however unlikely that may be. My biggest problem is his voice, I have no idea how well I’ll be able to ignore the fact that the man who is splinter tried to kill Rorschach in Watchmen. Or that the Shredder is the 

 accountant from Drive Angry.

So I guess I just have to wait and see how this all goes and honestly I’m a little excited to see where this goes I am just afraid that this movie might kill the hype of the turtles again. Ever since the first cartoon the turtles have been around in some capacity and I love that! They haven’t been as big as they are though since the reboot in 2012. I walk through the toy departments and I see an entire aisle of TMNT toys, you pull one off the shelf and you can see no less than 25 other toys each a different character. And I am brought back to being a child and loving every second of TMNT Hype! I just fear that this movie could be so bad that it kills my joy and all the younger generations who are just getting into my childhood heroes.

I'm worried.

Yet Excited.

Long Story Short(at the end)

Hey the point of this post is at the very bottom if you don't feel like reading it all.
Hey I'm 23! Well that happened. It was my birthday recently and I had a good time. I rented Far Cry 3, a few movies, I got a job and some other stuff. But this isn't about me.

So recently I made a video out of a gif I found on DeviantArt and a song I heard on YouTube. And from that I've got a few nice comments and a bunch of shit. The shit is kind of stupid but understandable occasionally. So I "made" this video.


And from there I've got a whole lot of "This is stupid!", "You are stupid!", "You are so gay!" and a few other comments. I've never really made it a secret that I'm a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a brony if you will. And from that I've got a whole lot of questions most being stupid and rhetorical. Such as...

"You know what....im tired of this....im tired of bronys making a mlp version of EVERYTHING. Its not just music anymore memes,pictures,videos, anything. I understand you like the show but do you have put the show EVERYWHERE?" -MrPodaky

To which I replied.

It's not the show. I was listening to this song while browsing deviant and I saw this thumb nail going with the music. So I thought that's funny. so I made a small video. It's really as simple as that. Also people will make every kind of version of whatever they like it is just the way art and life work. Just chill man.

He responded with.

Its not something i can just be chill about anymore i really didn't care about bronys because there just people who like a show that's it. Unfortunately i was wrong. Its like you guys think of nothing but ponys because for some reason you think its ok to make a bunch of videos pictures etc etc and post them everywhere! People complained about cod fans flooding youtube with videos do you honestly think you guys are going to be unscathed? No your not.

I retorted with.

Do you not see that is one of the many uses for the internet? It's a place where a group of fans can get together and enjoy their similar interests and the brony community is no more active than any other community. The only reason this video is around is because I thought it was a little funny how a song about something not meant for kids syncs well with an MLP gif. And we understand criticism even unfounded ones but it's just people appreciating a show the way they can.

At this point our conversation was joined by WetardsReloaded. He joined by saying.

t's really not any different from any fanbase. Every meme is used within every fanbase, and there's many "(thing)music/remix/etc video" for those fanbases too. However, the MLP fanbase is actually quite large, and consists of many people who actually have some form of music/video mixing talent. Therefore, there's also a SHIT-TON of MLP related renditions of common videos or songs. Then of course there's random bullshit like this video. Which is ok too, I guess, even if it's not super special.

I replied with my position again that this video was made for no real purpose other than a laugh and that it added nothing really to the brony community. Mr. Reloaded agreed and he was on his way. However MrPodaky was not finished.

That is not true. go on know your memes. Look at almost any meme you will notice that in the picture section that most fanbases are left out of most of those memes,But in almost every single meme there is a pony version of it somewhere dont believe this video is exhibit A. Look up an alt version of this with another character from anywhere singing/bopping there head to this song. There might be some in the future but notice mlp fan was one of the first to do it.

Then a new challenge approached. Tomtortoise He had this to say.

Its the internet, it will happen. Every meme will be turned into everything.

Short sweet and to the point. But then MrPodaky startle to escalate in his lack of grammar and assuming it is part of pyschology he stated losing his patience. but that is purely conjecture.

Go on know your memes and look at almost any meme look in the picture section and see the difference in tf2 pics and and mlp pics. Notice that there's a pony version of ALMOST EVERY MEME. I know you can just lie and make it up and say OH TF2 HAS MORE MLP PICS ON THIS SITE but really you'd be lieing to yourself. You guys are becoming one of the most hated fanbases not because you watch a little girls show but because your circle jerking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

I replied.

You do realize that TF2 has also taken MLP stuff and made it their own. Not to mention creating fan art making their own meme and with SFM now they can create anything they want with it. We are just like any fan base your just going crazy because we enjoy it enough that we create content for it in mass quantity and we do take criticism well on the whole. It's called parody, it's all in fun and that is the point. This is all about fun. If you're not having any then just ignore it. You can do that

Then MrPodaky lost his cool and his points.

No your not similar to other fan bases because your not. Team fortress 2 has a very active fanbase. Some tf2 fans will make a vid reflecting a song,video,etc like the tf2 rythm heaven. Mlp fanbase made that, two best friends, star trek, mad world, AVGN, toy story, etc etc etc. If tf2 fanbase realizes that not everything has to be transformed into there videogame why don't you bronys realize that not everything has to be about there show? Also you guys cant take criticism for shit.

And that was the end of our conversation. He hasn't replied to anything yet. So Who knows maybe he gave up. I don't know nor to I mind. There is a lot out there and there are a lot of fanbases out there who enjoy creating content for their fellow fans. All I can really say is don't let people tell you that you need to stop making things you like making. I didn't set out to make something amazing or even to upset people. I made a small video because I laughed when I saw it. I ask that you don't hate others just because of their taste. We all like different things, that can't be helped nor is it a bad thing! Diversity is a wonderful thing. If you don't like MLP that is your business. But please don't hate it because people like it.

To sum it all up...

X-Men First Class: Awful of Terrible?

I hate when I see something and no one else does. I look up while reading a book in my local books a million and bam, a clown holding balloons signaling for me to come over and die...

But what is worse is when I see something that is very much real and no one else sees it the same way. And for that reason I'm the only guy who sees how bad X-men First Class is!

Seriously this is the second worst movie I saw all year! It is only second to Transformers Dark of the Moon. "But Zombi it was the very thing that the X-men series needed! It made the X-men cool again." ok I hear you. I think your wrong but I understand why you say that. It wasn't the absolute worst X-men movie. X-men Origins: Wolverine.

But let's make a bulleted list and go through these points why this is such a terrible movie.

• ·         These aren't the first X-men class.
• ·         Who are these people?
• ·         There is no continuity!
• ·         The makeup effects were the worst of the year.
• ·         My Nazi senses are tingling.
• ·         Bacon the worst Nazi ever!
• ·         Beast the worlds’ dumbest genius!

This isn't the first X-men class. The original class consisted of Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel and Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) and Professor X. In this movie we get such characters as Darwin, a wasted talent who died before getting to do anything because he was a better actor than the rest of the cast. Havok, Cyclops’s YOUNGER brother. Angel, the stripper with bug wings, whom they could have called pixie and her name would have made more sense. Beast, who is in love with mystique and hates his "freak" body which allows him to be the greatest athlete in the world. Oh can’t forget it's only "flaw" is monkey feet. Not even a tail...I would kill for money feet and tail! Mystique who is now Prof. X's "adopted sister and has body issues. The character who can become anyone/anything has body issues. And Banshee who is supposed to be Irish and is just a whiney teen who has no real personality. And that is one of the biggest problems. No one has personality in the X-men. Havok is a jockey douche. Beast is a pouty nerd. Mystique is the cheerleader who throws up because she hates her look. These are High school stereotypes! These characters get no real change in the way they think or act. They "grow closer" in a montage but none of them get real personalities.

I can name 2 villains on the brotherhood side. Sebastian Shaw played by Kevin Bacon and Azazel. I have no idea anything about Azazel other than he is Russian and evidentially Nightcrawler’s father. And really I only guessed that because of the tail and being a primary color. I can't tell you any of the other antagonist’s names from this film. Do you remember the guy who made tornados? Do you remember him adding anything to the plot other than being there? Oh wait Emma Frost was there. But she was supposed to be locked up in a mutant prison thing. Ok doing a bit of research has shown that the movie takes place in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Wolverine is fighting in the Vietnam War in the opening credits to his movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And taking all that in mind Emma shouldn't even be there she should be somewhere in elementary to middle school!

And that just brings up more questions. There is no continuity in these films. They have a set time line from 4 movies and none of it makes sense. Charles can walk in Wolverine but he loses his ability to walk in the end of this one! Magneto and Prof. X met Wolverine and neither of them remember it at all! How does Moira MacTaggert know Charles in the 3rd movie if he erases her memory at the end of this one? Why does he erase her memory? Why does Magneto explain what the helmet is for in the first movie when Sebastian made the helmet and Charles already knew? But that movie came first they couldn't have...Yes they could have! They have previously set up this continuity! They can bend and work so it fits!

The makeup effects where the absolute worst I had seen all year! Beast looks like a freak reject from cats! Kelsey Grammer as beast looked sensational not to mention being perfectly cast. Mystique looked awful! We have 3 full movies of Rebecca Romijn proving that the Mystique makeup can not only be good but fucking amazing! Before I could find porn I could fap to Rebecca Romijn in X-men, easy! Yet this movie just makes Beast and Mystique look awful! Why has no one mentioned these flaws in any review I have seen?

 

How does Magneto find all these Nazis? Ok I got torture works but there is no way all these Nazis just know where each other are. That would be the stupidest plan ever. Disband the 3rd Reich but let's make sure we stay in contact so we can have a reunion.

Do I have to say more?

When watching this I had the highest of hopes. I had heard nothing but good things about this movie! I heard great things about Kevin Bacon being the villain and that was astounding. And for the first few minutes I agreed. Then we got a look at the other side of his office. Why would a Nazi bring a super powered Jew into his concentration camp office offer him candy and then threaten him, then kill his mother in front of him with a room full of metal death right next door? Why did Magneto not just stab him with his super metal powers? Why does it all play out like this? Why not kill the Nazis with your super magnet powers? Kill the guy who just shot your mother! In front of you! He's right there!

Why does Breast freak out about his mutant power? His only physical flaw if you can call it that is he has hand feet. He bitches and moans about not being normal. He was living basically a normal life until Charles outted him. He can hide his power by wearing fucking SHOES! Socks even! Unless you're wearing sandals no one will ever know! No one has pretty feet! They are fucking feet! Put shoes on and walk over your river of tears!

And these are the reasons I hate this movie so much! Why does no one else notice this crap?! People are putting this movie on their best of 2011 lists? Why?! It's just so bad!

Thinking About Pressing Start 2 Continue

With me getting a job more recently it means a few perks and a few...anti-perks?


Perks
1. Something to do with my time
2. Cash to buy things I want/need
3. Can afford a girlfriend

To name a few perks but then those anti-perks show up, I really wish I could remember the word that I want to use.


1. Less time to do nothing.
2. Tired and sore constantly
3. All that free time I had for a social life before is now used to rest after work.
4. They have me working one day a week!

Ok that last one throws something’s out wack, I do still have the free time but the cash is not just flowing in. But when I did get paid the first time last week, I thought I'll take my grandpa to lunch and start a bank account and put the rest in the bank. But I opened my first check to see 36 dollars. They paid me for my very first day where we finished the work too fast. I got caught between pay periods. But I will say I spent my check on something I really wanted and I have to say it was a great purchase. I bought...

(Insert Zelda openings a chest music here!)

"Press Start 2 Continue"

The sequel to the outrageously hilarious "Press Start: The Movie" from “DarkMaze Studios”.

For my full thoughts on it I direct you here to this video!




But with my next payday set for Friday next week I will buy a few things I want. I will buy my grandpa lunch, start a bank account and external hard drive for my computer would be great and if I have the money, my own "Minecraft" name things.

Then I'll do my best to make more videos!

My review is on the way but my artist went through a bit of a scare and I wouldn't dare ask her to work on anything till she is ready to, so that’s what is going on there!

Till next time have a nice day. Because tomorrow might now come!

Highschool of the Dead Got Me Down!

As I hammer out the basic details of my review style I am going to look at a few things that have been bothering me. I'll start with “Highschool of the Dead”.

I love Highschool of the Dead. It is a very enjoyable manga with interesting and enjoyable characters with real motivations. The very first issue, one of our main characters, Rei Miyamoto, starts freaking out over a lost loved one and blames our protagonist Takashi Komuro, for killing him once he turned. When she loses it and says that he wanted to kill him so they could be together he basically says "Fuck it and you, I'm leaving stay here and die if you want it so bad. We see right here Takashi ain't taking any shit. This is exactly what I want; he isn't here to babysit you he's in it for survival. All of our characters are there for a bit obvious reason the only problem I have with the series and I mean that it is the only problem. Is the Jiggling.

Yes jiggling breast. I love jiggling breast, I'm a guy let's face it its fun to watch but seriously!

I hate when the jiggle effect is over used. And this series uses it. The reason from what I have learned is that the mangaka is or was a hentai artist, so obviously jiggling is a side effect to this outstanding story. And because of that and it's little use near the beginning makes this story addictive. But since the beginning it has gotten worse and worse, what was the occasional panty shot, ignoring the gigantic racks of "Highschool girl" it is easy to overlook the obvious porn. But with this most recent chapter it is getting harder and harder. There is a scene where our group finds a net launcher. A very obvious tool with, a very obvious use. But one of our characters the nurse, Shizuka Marikawa, asks what it is and her first thought is...

Yeah, that was her very first thought. From this...

Why is all anime/manga turning to porn, excluding One Piece but we all see Nami's tits grow every issue! Seriously there was a time when parents would think that all anime was cartoon porn. And I fought to try and prove that wrong then it changed and just about all anime became porn. Looks at just about any anime now a days. Anything reviewed by “MasakoX” shows a huge increase of porn like images and panty shots galore! I have lost that battle. For this reason I can't watch the Highschool of the Dead anime. I tried but the jiggling is way too much! And the story is left at a random point considering the manga is released pretty irregularly. And with scenes like this

I'm kind of happy. I would have loved to see it go to the end but then the jiggling would kill me. Just scenes destroy the idea of it. Like the trailer showing a bullet go right between both breast and legs of Saeko Busujima.

Also I notice a lot of nip slips in manga more recently. “Sankarea” did it and Highschool of the Dead. Damn it anime stop making it hard to defend you. At least I'm not defending “Komodo No Jikan”.
