Week in Review: October 22nd, 2011 - October 28th, 2011

It seems that with each passing blog, it become harder and harder for me to keep my blog both relevant and hilarious.  So let's start out today's entry on a high note, that way by the end of it you can always look back at this beginning paragraph with such profound nostalgia that it almost makes the worthless drivel that follows it not too bad as a whole.  Penis.

Anyway, another crazy week in casting.  On Saturday before I went shopping I decided to play some Minecraft for a few hours until I had a vehicle, and wound up having 188 viewers at one point.  Madness I say, madness.  And no, this is not sparta, this is a fucking blog, go to Sparta and kick someone in a pit if you want to make that joke.

Carrying on, I also started the God of War HD Collection on cast on Monday, which has been rage-inducing but oh so fun at the same time.  The first game was finished on Wednesday, and on Friday I started the second one.  This was offset however by the other new game I started this week: Pokemon.  Yes, you read that right, started playing Pokemon on stream, and I have to say, it's pretty fun.  This lead to my first ever drunk cast on Wednesday night, where I not only played pokemon drunk, I also modded 148 people in my chat and thusly had to unmod them the morning after.  Fantastic time though, and here's a highlight from the non-drunk cast:

Other quick hits from this week: new power supply and graphics card, which makes my games AMAZING; undefeated in fantasy football week; hopefully getting Uncharted 3 for release date cast.

PS: Follow the new Kidd on the block, KiddXFresh.  Puns for the motherfucking win.

Top 25 Movies Warm-Up

So after being HEAVILY inspired by one sexy stud named Michael Ryne, who is currently going through his own top 100 movies of all time list here, I have decided to do my own Top *Insert Number Here* list of my personal favorite movies, shamelessly stealing it just like "Jabberjaw and The Neptunes" stole Mochi Mochi from Shoyu Weenie. If you get that reference I will totally love you forever, HA-HA dangly parts.

Now before we analyze the first sentence of this blog and see how horrendously put together it is, let's stay on focus here and talk about the main core to this blog: a top movie list. Since I feel personally that I have not seen enough movies to warrant a top 100 list(though to be honest it's just laziness), I am shortening it down for everyone's sake(once again, I'm just lazy.) So here is a list of 34 movies that I will be trimming down and then re-arranging for the next few days, and hopefully by this weekend I'll have the first set up.

Please let me know if you have a movie, through the comments or twitter or via smoke signals, that you think is a top movie that I may have forgotten, as I am sure I will be revising this list once I remember more movies I have watched.

Week in Review - October 16th through October 21st, 2011

So I figured I'd start throwing these together once a week if possible, encapsulating the week that was for one Mr. Eddie Ruckus. And yes, Eddie talks about himself in third person at times just because Eddie can.

In the biggest news for my blog, after swearing off not applying for partner again until 2012, I decided I will try one more time once the 4 weeks since I last applied is over. The main reason is that since October 6th I've been keeping track of my page views, as one of the requirements is at least 25K views a month or 500 average concurrent viewers. Since October 6th, in 15 days, I've already amassed over 28K views, and I'm sure that if I get near 50K by the time it's 30 days I'll have a really good chance at being partner. So keep your fingers crossed if you support me, but if you don't then obviously pray to the weather gods that they cut out my connection (you really don't need to pray, as it's bound to happen a good 20 times this winter.)

This past week has also been the source of frustration, which in turn led to some GREAT moments in my casting career. Obviously the story about UPS fucking up with my delivery with Arkham City was a lowpoint, but that didn't matter as on Wednesday night I casted for 9 and a half hours to beat the main story mode of Arkham City in one sitting. Just from it's story alone it's already at the top of my GOTY list, which by the way will be a blog post sometime in the near future. Not only did I defeat Batman Arkham City in one sitting, I also managed to beat Uncharted 2 on Normal in one sitting on Tuesday night, and beasted the last 6 hours I needed to finish the story on Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Lotta casting this week, but it's been worth it.

And other than that, I really don't have anything of note, I'll try getting together a top 25 personal favorite movies of all time list next week, and of course any other random times I feel like rambling.

First Post So It's Not Empty

Alrighty, so, here I am on blogspot/blogger after 7 loyal months to wordpress. It was an interesting battle for the rights to my blog, even had myspace blogs wanting me back, but in the end blogspot offered the best deal.

I had a hilarious post about the time I lost all my saves, but I decided that could wait until the 2 year anniversary of one of the most tragic moments in gaming history to happen ever in the entire world-to a man named Eddie Ruckus. Until then, take care blog-o-verse.
