Microsoft: international party poopers


Hey everyone! Here's a Halo update. As some of you may know, the Halo movie, rumored to be in production, is no longer being funded. It may never come about. Good news is, Halo Wars is coming out next year and Bungie is working on another unnamed Halo 360 game. Peter Jackson has switched focus from the aforementioned movie, to this game. I don't know about the validity of that picture of a Halo DS game, but being a DS owner, it would be at the top of my list of games to buy. Word is, Bungie was working on Halo for other platforms, but even though they recently went independent, Microsoft is still holding on to Halo licensing rights. Way to ruin it for everyone again, Bill. Oh, well. At least I've got Halo 3.

12.21.2007

Almost there...

It's almost Christmas, and for a little present I put an annoying flash game under the posts. Next year, around February, the new Force Unleashed game is coming out. It takes place between episode 3 and 4. Here's a preview if you haven't seen one.

The Glorious Return (for good) of KrakenKiller! a.k.a. the merciless Mandalore


WOOOO! Hello, websurfers. I hope you haven't strayed too far in my short reprieve. I have done much, I have conquered entire countries. Well, not real countries. Anyway, I will reign once again as king of the Twilighter Zone. With the hit counter repaired, this ship of coolness is ready for takeoff!

p.s. click on the "secret" link in the random corner. Don't laugh too hard, I don't wanna be liable for split sides.

Oh, here's a topic to talk about: who would win, Spartan IIs, or clone commandos?

Livin' it up on Live!

Hey everyone, it's been a while. I am on Halo 3 xbox live now, if anyone wants to play me my profile is KrakenKiller117. To play me add me as a friend then invite to a game. You'll probably beat me, I'm not that good. Anyway, to answer a question, the invincibility trick does work, but only for around 10 seconds. Here is a video that shows all skulls and terminals. Happy hunting!

10.09.2007

Skulls and Snowballs...



Well, winter's coming in soon, and you know what that means! No, not more time for HALO, it's time for sledding, snowball fights, all sorts of things. Well, and HALO too. So, here are some more HALO 3 tips.

Some skulls that are not mentioned in the guide, if you have one, are the grunt birthday party skull, which makes grunts explode with confetti when you headshot them, and the cowbell skull. This makes explosions bigger. The grunt birthday party skull is in level 2, in the pipes. The blind skull, which takes your HUD, is in level 1.

Halo 3 Tips and Hints!


Check it out... I've got the lowdown on the greatest entertainment release in the history of Earth. Here are some good tips on Halo 3 campaign and multiplayer.

CAMPAIGN TIPS:
-to get invincibility, kill a brute chieftain from a distance with a head shot weapon so he doesn't see you. Run to his dead body and pick up the invincibility.

-When you have a Spartan Laser, use four shots (it only has five) on high value targets such as wraiths, turrets, and chieftains, then give the Laser with one shot left to a marine and protect him. He will have infinite ammo for it and take out vehicles for you the rest of the level.

-A great combo is dual-wield a Spiker with a Plasma Rifle. Also, dual Spikers is good.

-Another use for the Deployable cover is to block off a small passageway, to stop enemies that can overwhelm you like Flood or Drones.

-Spike grenades will stick to enemies, but unlike plasma grenades will also stick onto walls, ceilings, etc.

-Flamethrowers will easily dispatch pure form Flood, but will only set the combat forms on fire, while they continue to run at you.

MULTIPLAYER TIPS:
-The Hornet never appears standard on a map. Use custom game settings or Forge to bring it in.

-When playing Capture the Flag, bring two people over to the other base on a Mongoose, have the passenger jump off and throw a flare down to temporarily blind the opponents, and run out with the flag. Back up the Mongoose with a Ghost or Prowler perhaps.

-The Spartan Laser is the ultimate anti-air weapon, aside from the Missile Pod. The Missile Pod is a portable turret, and as such will slow you down, and be hard to find. The Rocket Launcher does not lock on any more.

-The Needler is no longer dual-wieldable, but it is more powerful.

-Use trip mines against opponents, vehicles, and plant on spawn points.

Any HALO 3 questions? The Twilighter Zone will answer them.

The best game ever...


You know... of course I got it. You know what I got. I would have posted about immediately, but I had to play it. HALO 3!!! The best game in this universe. It's awesome, I got it on the 25th. If you haven't played it yet, get over to someone's house who has it right away. There are a lot of new features that were not advertised such as a flamethrower, a fourth type of grenade, which is an incendiary grenade, and about a dozen equipment objects. Usually, I would have been the first to report on something like this, but I have school and I spent any time that I would have spent on the computer on my new Xbox 360 Elite edition. Anyway, I still haven't beat the game yet, but I will answer any questions about HALO 3 that anyone has. See ya!

9.19.2007

Slow Mo...

This is crazy... watch this car explode in ultra slow motion. I think that the camera used is filming at 2000 frames per second. A movie camera films at 24 frames per second.

9.13.2007

I'm Back...


Hello, I know it's been a long time. School is keeping me really busy. But, I had to take time to share a couple of things with you. First, check out the first preview of Iron Man!!! Right here... . and see this cool photo from the North Pole...

See ya later!-K.K.

D- Wars!

A new movie is coming out on September 14th that I have not heard anything about until I saw an ad for it. That's weird, it just jumps out of nowhere. It is one of the few big effects movies that is not a sequel this summer/fall (or a remake). The preview has me all excited about it, though. It has a cheesy pretense, dragons attack cities, about the oldest story in the book. But, the effects look really cool. It is a live action movie, not a cartoon thing. Similar action as Transformers, but substitute giant lizards for robot cars. P.S. couldn't find the trailer I saw, here's a foreign one. Some parts are really cool.

8.14.2007

The Dark Knight

Christian Bale has done two movies this year, Rescue Dawn, and a western movie with Russell Crowe, 3:10 to Yuma. Russell Crowe is also doing two movies this year, that and American Gangster with Denzel Washington. I think his last movie was Cinderella man, before that Master and Commander. But the most looked forward to movie of Bale's is the Dark Knight. Here is the preview.

8.13.2007

Movie update


Anyone here like Casino Royale? Well, next year (or possibly november '07 highly unlikely) Daniel Craig is back in black with Bond 22, or that's the tentative title. Not much else on that except that it is supposedly the first ever direct sequel to a previous bond movie. It seems as though another Spider-man flick is inevitable, but not likely to include Raimi or Maguire. Hulk open date is June 27, preceded by Iron Man on May 2.

8.09.2007

Heavy hitters



On August 7th, Barry Bonds made baseball history. Bonds broke Hank Aaron's record, with 756 home runs. Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record in '78 with 715 homers. Also, a new Hulk movie is coming out next year with a whole new cast including Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. The film is directed by Louis Leterrier. The villains for those of you who know them, are Abomination and The Leader.

8.04.2007

The ultimatum on Bourne


Well, I saw the Bourne Ultimatum yesterday, August 3, and I have to say that it is possibly the best of the three. This is one of the only trilogies where I was not disappointed by any of the three. It seems as if every Bourne movie outdoes the last in almost every aspect, yet all are good. If you have not seen any of these movies, I suggest you do. If you have seen the others, see the new one. Note: the release date for Halo 3 is September 25 in America and 26 in Europe, not the 16th as I said in June.

7.30.2007

Lucasfilm's new stuff


To accompany the man in the hat's new adventure next summer, is a Lego Indiana Jones video game! The preview for it shows similar gameplay to Lego Star Wars, and it is also made by Traveler's Tales(TT games). Additionally, fans of the Star Wars Clone Wars series, a new, more realistic series in 3-D has been revealed. The trailer for both of these can be most easily accessed at starwars.com. Of course, next year Indiana Jones Lego playsets will be in stores. Also, here is a good lego mario video.

7.25.2007

Heroes in '08


X-men fans, listen up! Wolverine the movie is starting production in November, and is supposed to come next year. Hugh Jackman is playing as Logan, with Gavin Hood directing the film. Other superhero movies next year are Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Dark Knight with Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and Heath Ledger as Joker.

Headline: Illegal Immigrant Found With Monkey In Tow

Tuesday, a possibly mentally retarded girl named Dora was caught crossing the border with a monkey and a boy. The boy escaped as Dora yelled "Go Diego, go!". She refused to give up her backpack, claiming that the border patrol was going to interrogate it. After debating the pack's sentience, the patrol discovered that, among other things such as an overly simplistic map, there was marijuana contained in the pack. The officers were about to confiscate the contraband when a fox like creature with a headband "swiped" it away. The only information gained from the interrogation of the bilingual child was that simply yelling "swiper no swiping" at the fox would have averted the fiasco. The boy was found in the desert a few hours later riding a scooter. The detainment methods for the children are being decided, and the monkey was sent to the zoo. The fox was tracked down and shot.

Krakenkiller- Finally, we won't have that annoying show on anymore.

Dog-eat-dog blog

I am testing the new poll feature, and as such there is a new poll under the posts. I don't like the new features that blogger keeps adding. It takes what little challenge out of blogging there is, or was. I had videos here before the video bar, I had polls before the poll feature, news before the news reel, and so on and so forth. It's just a little harder to make a unique blog. So, I suppose in the end, it ups the ante. It's not enough just to have flashy features. It depends on the blogger himself. Challenge the world!

Abounding Anthropomorphisms!


I've just about had it. Talking rats. Talking penguins. Talking dogs. Someone, please make it stop! Disney, what have you done to the world?! The most recent addition to the line of personified animals is Ratatouille, a movie about a talking, cooking rat in Paris. But before I go off about unreal rodents, how about those penguins? Let's see, March of the Penguins in '05, Happy Feet early this year, the spoof Farce of the Penguins also this year, and now Surf's Up, which my little brother has already seen two or three times. Then, the zoo films. Madagascar in '05, then The Wild in '06, and Over The Hedge last year. Now, Underdog (to my chagrin) is coming out later this year. Synopsis: talking, flying dog. Rewind one or two years and you will find a movie titled Good Boy featuring a... talking, flying dog. You all know of the other classic talking animal movies that have scratched, smiled, and slobbered their way onto the big screen. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to have children movies, I'm just saying that we need a break. Once someone popularizes a theme(zoo escape, penguins), everyone hops on the band wagon and beats that poor little idea into the ground until we're all sick.

7.16.2007

Movies...


Well I'm pretty sure that Transformers was the coolest, most action-packed movie of the summer! I saw Die Hard 4, which was good, then I saw Transformers, which was incredible. The effects are mind blowing. I heard that pirates 3 took 300 million dollars to make, so I assume that this cost more, as it was more special effects intensive. As of the 10th, Transformers made $155,405,412 in the U.S. I think. The trend so far of movies getting better bodes well for the Bourne Ultimatum, and later on this year, I am looking forward to I Am Legend with Will Smith, a remake of Omega Man.

7.06.2007

minikraken

Happy 4th, everyone! I know it was 2 days ago, but I've been busy. I saw Die Hard 4, and I thought it was pretty good. It was funny and action packed. The heat is cranking up, I've slept outside it's so hot. A new species has been found of the coast of Hawaii, 3000 feet below the water. It is temporarily called a octosquid. It is a squid with only 8 tentacles, instead of ten. Very weird.

7.02.2007

New video

Hello again! The Bourne Ultimatum preview is now up only on the Twilighter Zone web page at the top of the link list.

Wassup...

I have a new poll up today, and will put up new videos, probably tonight. Previews of Bourne Ultimatum and National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets. Plus something else later on the TZ web page! Ha! Transformers is coming out TODAY! Only in my little town. Man, everything comes out early here. Go ahead, whine. JK. Well, this is the greatest movie summmer in memory, at least my memory. Everything! I heard that Die Hard 4 was the best of all of them, and I hope to see it soon. I see they went for the pg-13 rating this time, trying to widen their audiences. That's one way to do it. Bourne 3 comes in August and Nat. Treasure 2 comes out in December.

6.29.2007

Important update...


I was going to change this url, but all other options are taken. The url is still www.twilighterz.blogspot.com. Also, I have some sweet videos going up here soon, like the Halo 3 preview, which I'm sure most of you have seen. But, BIG news, I am posting the preview to... Halo Wars, the Halo RTS!!! Oh Yeah!!! The preview is very cinematic, and as far as I know, it is only on Xbox 360, unfortunately not on PC. Funny, because most RTS games are for PC. It takes place before the destruction of Reach, for people who know their Halo lore. A.K.A., before Halo 1, which means you get to command Spartan IIs! Additionally, the Halo movie was supposed to come out next summer, but was indefinitely postponed when Universal and 20th Century Fox backed out of the deal. Peter Jackson, the executive producer, said (paraphrase) that they will see the potential in a Halo movie when they see the Halo hype. E.G., when Halo 3 comes out. So, I don't know when that movie is coming out. Halo 3 is coming this September 16, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S. There is a surprise video at the Twilighter Zone web page when I get it up. Don't miss it!

6.28.2007

One Grand!!!




You know, I might have given out a prize to the person who was hit 1000, but it was me. Yay me. But, finally 1000! Officially in the big time. But, I qualified the moment I started, of course.

Update on the the TZ



It's been a few days, and I believe it's okay to be French now. Maybe not. But, next week is Independence Day, and also the same day that Transformers the movie comes out. I am adding Digg buttons to my site, I hope they work, unlike the fuel my blog thing. Another history thing, WW1 started today in 1914, and ended today in 1919. Well, that would be Armistice Day, now known as Veteran's Day, but today in 1919 the treaty of Versailles was signed, telling Germany they needed to pay for everything and so forth. Am I boring you? Too bad. It is summer, and the pirates online thing isn't up as far as I know. They are late. Oh well, I hope nobody comes to their site. Apparently, China has labeled U.S. the biggest emitter of Co2. Cheney blames environmentalists. Who cares about Co2? One volcano eruption puts out more carbon dioxide than all of mankind combined in one whole year. And those volcanoes go off quite a lot. And another thing... GAS can't put holes in GAS! Example: Co2(carbon dioxide) does not put holes in O3(ozone). Well, that's enough of that, my next post will be lighter.

6.22.2007

A bad day to be French...

People who have been reading here for a couple months know when to be a certain nationality. Well, today is one of those days, where history shows the true mettle of a country. Today, in 1815, Napoleon abdicated for the second time. Exactly 125 years later, in 1940, France surrendered to Germany. Hmm. Well, better luck next century, monsuiers.

6.19.2007

Update on the TZ...

Well, I saw FF2 a couple days ago. Definitely better than the first one. I was thrown off a little before I saw it by the PG rating, but this movie just shows that you don't need to have PG-13 or R material for a good movie. Silver Surfer was pretty sweet. Also, my birthday was this month! Awesome. Watching Pirates 1 for the first time in a couple years makes me think of how much different the second two movies were. I still like the kraken though. Lots of votes for everyone but Harry Potter. Not that I care. The new Die Hard 4 trailer was at FF2, it was cool. Looking forward to that one! Rock on, Summer!

6.14.2007

Interesting.

You know, there are only three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't. But enough of that. Oh, what do you call a lawyer buried up to his neck in sand? Not enough sand. Ha! Anyway, just thought I'd say that. If you just can't get your clock to work, just remember that a stopped clock is still right twice a day!

6.11.2007

Arrr!

If you like Runescape and POTC, you would have heard of POTC online! Well, maybe not. But I did, and I went to the site. It said coming Spring 2007. Spring is almost over (in 11 days), and it's still not out. Oh, well. But there is a cool desktop ship battle game you can download for free there at piratesonline.com where you name and customize your ship and battle to gain treasure (and rum), on your desktop! Cool. Anyway, that's about it. Oh, and FF2 is out in four days. Keep your fingers crossed! Unless you're the Thing, he might have some trouble with that.

6.08.2007

What...

I know... I posted the same thing twice. I posted it once, didn't show up, so I posted it again. And who cares about Paris Hilton!?!

Twilighter Zone ad


This is my new ad. I have to put it on my blog somewhere so it can appear at blogexplosion.com.

Spongebob is human ancestor!

Now I've heard it all. According to "scientists", our nervous systems came from sponges. That's right, sponges. First, they tell us we came from monkeys. Now they say our brains came from sea sponges. One question: how did the sponge get in the monkey's head? Did they live in a pineapple under the sea? Or how 'bout like in POTC 3: "Nobody move... I dropped my brain".

Here's the link to this ridiculously absurd story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278696,00.html

D-day



Totally forgot! Yesterday, June 6, was the 63rd anniversary of D-day, the largest amphibious invasion in human history. On June 6, 1944, thousands of American, British, Canadian, Austrailian, and Free French troops stormed Normandy beach in Nazi controlled France. D-day is also known as Operation Overlord.

mini web news

Well, if you have a DS from Nintendo, you'll be happy to hear that you can now browse the internet on it, blog, email, etc., from any wi-fi hotspot, free or otherwise. Other nintendo stuff, if you like Super Smash Bros., the new one is coming this summer I think. Go to smashbros.com to see a trailer. Cool stuff! Also, a power surge took out our DSL modem at home, and just got a new one today. I was doing this from an "undisclosed locaton"! Ha Ha! Well, I have a DS and won't have to worry about that now!

6.05.2007

quick update...

I finally got around to updating the official Twilighter Zone web page. Not much, but there is now a sidebar with updating car news, very cool. Additionally, now at the bottom there is an old-school mario game. Rock on! So, I invite you to check it out, it is at the top of my link list (scroll down on the left to find it). As always, feel free to comment on what you like and don't like on the site and blog and what you want new. Thanks!

Web News v.3



This month, on the 15th, the new Fantastic Four movie comes out. I certainly hope that it's more fantastic than the last, which was 20 percent special effects, 70 percent dialouge, and 1 percent cool action. The other 9 was the credits. Also, the Apple iPhone is coming on the 29th. Looking at the picture, I'm wondering, "Where's the phone"? I think it's going to be about $499. Not worth it. The same reason I don't want a PS3. I played it at Best Buy, it had incredible graphics, but was slow and glitchy. And $599. I will add the FF 2 trailer to the video bar for anyone who wants to see it.

6.04.2007

update on the the TZ

Apparently, the weather thing isn't working. How dissapointing. So, I put in a Lego alien game, and I hope it works. Try it out at the bottom of the page.

Almost Summer!

Hello again, blog readers! Spring is almost over, which means Summer is almost here, which means it's time to harvest the crops! No, school's almost over!!! I don't know if any of the adult readers here are too excited about that, though. Unless you're a teacher. Which brings me to the question, how many of my readers are adults, and how many are kids? Interesting question, indeed. But, I'll never know. If I had to guess, I would really have no clue. On my hit counter it says 600 something, but I log into the hit counter website, and it tells me have like 2000 visitors (last time I checked, almost a month ago)! Oh well, I guess I'll never know. If anyone knows the difference between a hit and a visitor, please let me know. But for now, I'm going with the hit counter.

5.30.2007

(quick) update on the the TZ

Hi! At the bottom under the posts, there is now a weather widget. I think you can change the area on it. Also, comment if you've memorized pi, and I'll change that little thing down there.

Coincidence?

I recently read a thing on AOL calling Pirates of the Carribean "The new Star Wars". At first, I was skeptical, but the similarities are striking! For example, they compared Han Solo to Jack Sparrow. Both are always looking out for themselves, and both owe debts to ugly chracters (jabba the hutt, davy jones). Luke Skywalker and Will Turner both want to do the right thing, and both don't know their father until the second film. They then save their fathers, and both duel their fathers. Hmm. And of course both trios of characters have a royal female, Princess Leia and Elizabeth, the governer's daughter and pirate king in the third one. And, to top it off, both third films started with a rescue of the Jack Sparrow/Han Solo character from Davy Jones/Jabba the Hutt. Weird wild stuff.

5.29.2007

Notable? Hardly.

Now I'm not dissing these guy's blogs, but I checked on some of the "blogs of note" at the blogger start page, and I really don't see what they've got up on me. I mean they're good blogs and everything, but they aren't extraordinary, like a certain twilighter zone. (kidding) Anyway, I'm done complaing. I just wish Blogger would give a reason for why these particular blogs are "of note".

Update on the the TZ


Hey, I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial weekend. I did. I saw Pirates 3 again, (why not, right?) and I checked online and discovered that after pirates 3, spiderman 3 still holds the opening weekend record. Many postulate, and I agree because of the rate of decreasing money that spiderman 3 is making, that pirates will make more in the long run. I made a runescape file yesterday, unfortunately the name krakenkiller was taken (I hope it wasn't one of you) so I did krakenkilr. I made a file about a couple years ago, played 5 minutes, and haven't played since. I remembered the password, but not the username! Go figure, huh? I guess it was because of all the numbers it made me put at the end. So, if anyone could tell ne how to get anything better than a stupid bronze sword and wooden shield, it would be much appreciated.

5.25.2007

I saw Pirates 3 yesterday, May 24, at 8:00. Actually, like 8:09 or something because I was in the back and some theater employee dressed like a pirate was talking about treasure or something and I couldn't hear what it was about. Anyway, it was cool, but it was weirder than the first or second. No kraken!!! Darn it. Oh well. It was funny, Jonny Depp was crazy as usual. Sailing his ship in the desert with a crew of himself. You'll have to see the movie to find out how that happened. I wonder if it will beat Spidey in the box office. We'll wait and see.

5.24.2007

More web news...

Hello again. Today is the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, the first permanent American settlement. I now have a video bar under links i think, if you have requests for videos to put up there, comment on here. I read a review on Pirates, didn't sound spectacular. I hope the Kraken is in it. That would be sweet. EW said the effects were great, but the plot was too complicated. Pretty typical for a third movie, huh? I'm still gonna see it, though. Spiderman 3 still holds the record for opening day and weekend after Shrek 3, but Shrek has done better this week. I'm thinking it will be close with Pirates, but you know how it is, something like Transformers will come out of nowhere and beat 'em all. All those hard-core 'bot fans will come out of the woodwork, or should I say, metalwork. Either way, it won't affect me, I'm just watching the movies.

5.23.2007

quick update

Hello, blogreaders, or b-readers. That could have different conotations. We'll just stick with blog readers. There is a new poll, newsreel is at the bottom, and scroll down to find out how to memorize pi. Later.

Whats up? Mostly movies.

Well a lot has happened since I was here last. Of course I went to the midnight showing of Spiderman 3. Definitely best of all three. A lot of reviews panned it but what do they know, right? Pirates 3 is coming out on friday, and in my tiny town our theatre got permission to release it a day early! Yeah! I suppose I should give Shrek 3 a mention, huh? No? Haven't seen it yet, won't for a while. Anyway, who saw the finale of 24 season 6? Don't give me any plot spoilers I've only seen the 1st 4 episodes and am waiting for the rest to come out on DVD. Or Hd-DVD. Or Blu-Ray. What's up with that? I'm stickin' with good ol' cheap DVD. Until it becomes like VHS or Beta. Appearently, Sony stopped making Beta video in 2002! What? Hmm. Some sweet movies comin' out this summer, Die-Hard 4, or live free or die hard with Bruce Willis, and I read that the guy who plays Mac in the Mac and Pc commercials is in it. I'm sure they'll find a way to blow up a windows computer in the movie. Also, spy action movie fans, the Bourne Ultimatum is coming in August. Looking forward to that. Anyway, I'll be posting again soon.

5.01.2007

A good day to be British...


Or Scottish or Welsch for that matter. Today, May 1st 2007 is the 300th anniversary of Great Britain. On may 17th, 1707, the Acts of Union came into effect, uniting Scotland with England and Wales, forming Great Britain. Anyway... just thought someone should say something about it.

4.18.2007

I'm still alive...

It has been almost a month since I last updated this blog. I have been really busy. But In case you haven't seen it yet, I have put the Pirates 3 trailer up. I hope to be updating this again soon.
p.s. here it is I was doing this at the library and the computer logged me off in the middle of it.

Web News v.2

The poll results are in...
--Action/Adventure 10 (52%) Romance 2 (10%) Comedy 5 (26%) Horror 0 (0%) Don't have one 2 (10%) Total votes: 19--
Looks like nobody likes horror, but neither do I. It depends, though. People have different opinions on what is horror and what is not. There's like medium scary, really scary, and just lame. And then there's movies that just couldn't really be anything else, so they threw it in the category. Some films are just not meant to be liked e.g. "saw" series. If you like that stuff, I've got a counseling site link on the page here for you. In other world news, some guy found a toad as big as a small dog (2lbs.) in austrailia. You'd think it would be in kilograms. The final spiderman 3 preview has been released, it is only 3 minutes but shows a lot of new cool stuff like venom (at www.spiderman3oncomcast.com). The movie premiere is in Tokyo(?!?). Also, plastic shopping bags will be no more in San Fransisco. If the mayor signs it. I don't really care if he does or not. I'll try and put a new poll up today, so start feeling very opinionated! This was Web News (not brought to you by anyone).

3.26.2007

Update on the the TZ


If you are a spiderman fan or just looking forward to the movie, you will be happy to see the new picture of venom. It is kind of dissapointing, though. I was hoping he would be bigger, and have big teeth and all that. Oh, well. For anyone who tried the fuel my blog button and it didn't work, I fixed that little bug. Squashed it. Anyway, I'll put up a new poll today, so if you haven't voted and want to, you should do it soon.

Web News!

Today in Web News: i now have over 200 on the hit counter thanks to people like you! (once again for those who are new here, the first 2 digits just make it look cooler.) On the Official Twilighter Zone web page, Pacman is now there, and a little redesigning, with classics like Sonic and more in the game widget there. Also, in Oregon, my current state of residence, a "prehistoric" crocidile-fish beast has been found. Hmm... fraud, reality, or publicity stunt? It apparently came here from asia, they can supposedly tell because of the rib arrangement or something. This conjures up memories of Lake Placid. Those of you who know what i'm talkin' about, know what i'm talkin' about. Anyway, until next time this was Web News (not brought to you by anyone).

Poll's Open

There is now a poll on The Twilighter Zone. Vote and make your opinion known. Comment here if you have suggestions for new polls. Not that I don't have any ideas, but then you could vote on what you want. If you're lost, it's at the top left of the page. Vote happy!

New Website

If you haven't already noticed, the new Twilighter Zone website is up, and the link is on the top of the link list, on the left column of the page. It is not replacing this site, but there are some fun game links there, (I haven't tried them yet) and I will be adding more later. Please comment on the website with questions, suggestions or whatever.

St. Patrick's Day!


Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! I hope you are wearing green. I'm not. Well, good luck, shamrocks and all that.

100th anniversary celebration!




Celebrate!!! I now have 100 hits as of now... just happened to be here... the first 2 digits just make the counter look cooler, only the last 3 are accurate. I suppose I could be considered a blog pro now. Interesting.

Halo Fans, Rejoice!


If you have played both Halo games, you know that the weapons in the second one sucked compared to the first one. But, in Halo 3: Finish the Fight, the original assault rifle and magnum are back. Along with a new quad, the human equivalent to the ghost. And the Halo movie is still far, far away. (pardon the star wars reference.)

Real Life Batmobile... Sort Of.

If you thought th Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegerra* was fast, (0-60 in 3.8, 573 hp) try this on for size: the Bugatti 16.4 Veyron boasts 1,001 hp, and 0-100km/h (0-60) in 2.9 seconds... Faster than a McLaren F1!!! It has 16 cylinders, four turbochargers, carbon fiber chassis, all-wheel drive, 7 speed semi-manual dual clutch (0.2 seconds between gears), and a one-million euro price tag. About 1.4 million USD. Amazing.

p.s. I would put the awesome photos of this here, but for some reason, the photo-adding service isn't working. Sorry.

Bored of your XP?

If you want a fresh look for your XP, look no further than wincustomize.com.* You can download changes to your windows, task bar, start menu, buttons, etc. It is free, but most of the programs run out after 60 days or something. But, it's as easy as just downloading it again!

New Lamborghini Is As Fast As Ever


The new Lamorghini Gallardo Superleggera does 0-60mph in just under 3.8 seconds. It has 573 HP, and weighs 3,152 pounds. Need I say more?

Marvel Kills Off the Cap


The comic giant Marvel recently killed Captain America in their story, comic book hero since the '40s, by a sniper bullet. This is defenitley unexpected news for fans, but I don't know what it means to the rest of us. Hmm.

The Mummy Returns... Again.


Apparently, there are plans for the third movie in the mummy franchise with Brendan Fraser. Nothing is set in stone yet, though. All I know is somebody needs to stop waking up that dang mummy! Of course, he fell into hell ( or whatever that place was ) in the last one, but you never know. If this does make it to production, Oded Fehr ( the Magi protector dude ) is not currently planned to be in the movie, as the story does not call for his character. I just hope they don't mess up what was already good.

Free iPod Games!


For owners of any incarnation of the famed media player (except a shuffle) who want to have some more fun than solitaire and brick but don't want to pay Apple's $5 price, you can go to www.ipodarcade.com*. The games are word games, like quizzes and zork style games... for example: you see a tunnel to the left, and you choose to go in or go somewhere else. They are great time-killers, and they're free. You can even make your own quiz game on this site. Enjoy!

The Rebirth of the Camaro


The Camaro looks like it's coming back with a bold new look, although very remeniscent of the '69 model. here's a pic if you haven't already seen it.

Movie News


It appears as though there really is going to be another Indiana Jones film. I don't know how that will work out, with Harrison Ford being a lot older than he was, but Lucas and Spielberg wouldn't do anything that would turn out to be cheesy. Would they?
