The year of 2010!

Ah what a year 2010 was! It was a whole 12 months of awesome! 365 days of amazing awesomness! 8760 hours of great times! 525 600 minutes of sweet sweet justice! 31 536 000 seconds of this grande year of greatness! An awesome 31 558 464 000 milliseconds of this somewhat satisfying year! Oh how sweet it was to see these things go by just like that! But that's just the thing: The year went by too fast. I don't know what's happening to me but it seems like time keeps going by faster and faster I feel like I'm losing control. I feel like I'm... changing... but I don't know how it's... strange I really don't know what's happening to me! At time I'm sitting in class being bored but then the next minute it's already the end of class, it doesn't seem possible. I seem to be growing stonger, the other day I lifted the couch in my living room with no struggle at all; what's happening to me? I think that I might have... superpowers. I have the feeling now that I can control time how else can you explain all the weird things going on this year? 2011 could not possibly come this fast any other way I swear that January 1 was just last week and it very well might have been. I think with some practice and a little concentration I can learn to control it and maybe even save the world. I'll need these powers to fight the evil forces at work in this school but I'm afraid I don't have much time! School will be over in a matter of months and I don't think I'll be strong enough by then. The 3 sisters are the devastating leaders of these forces and I really don't even know if I can take them on alone... they're just to powerful; I think I'm gonna need some help on this one. The sister's evil forces are moving in on me and the first sister herself is coming for me. I'm scared... my powers aren't strong enough... I don't know what to do... I'm a dead man.

Bring on the X-mas Cheer!!!!!!!!

To put it bluntly I mother F!%#ing love christmas!!!!!!!!! Not only is it the greatest holiday of the year but it's the best one too! Let's face it snow sucks so we might as well have something good about this season and that thing is Christmas! Presents also greatly add to the amazingness of Christmas and make lots of people look forward to it all year plus we get off of school for 2 weeks so that just makes it even better. I also LOVE christmas songs, well most of them, A lot of the Christmas songs get overplayed and just get plain ridiculous sometimes. I work at Sobeys and they play the same 5-10 christmas songs on repeat EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Needless to say it get's pretty ridiculous. Now the final reason I absolutely love Christmas is these pictures of cute animals at christmas time. These pictures could even make a grinch smile in delight, enjoy folks cause I know I did!

GAMES



Pac-man Championship Edition DX
Rated: E
Price: $9.99


Ah Pac-man how I love you! You have brought joy to gamers since 1980 and have had some great games in that time but who would think that a pac-man game would be one of 2010's most fun games? Not me that's for sure. I have to say I didn't even know this game existed until about a month ago when I saw some gameplay on a website I just kind of ignored it thinking it as just going to be another pac-man game with nothing different from the other ones and I'll say it right now: I was wrong. Pac-man Championship Edition DX is the most fun I've had with a downloadable titles in a while! I mean I really can't stop playing this thing, there is just so many things you can do in it. Gone are the days of a measly 4 ghosts chasing our beloved yellow circle... thing, now you can get more than 50 on you at one time which adds to a lot of strategy if you want to wrack up those points! You get ghosts to follow you by going past them and waking them up and you choose when you want to get them all to turn blue which means you could wait til you had 100 ghosts on you if you wanted! That is if you could survive that long. There are a few different modes such as Score Attack, Time Attack and Free mode all which bring different ways to play this game. As you can probably already tell I can't recommend this game highly enough and it really is a breath of fresh air to pac-man fans and just fans of gaming in general. This game is an absolute gem and cannot be missed!

MOVIES


Love and Other Drugs
Rated: 14A

I went to see this movie on the weekend with my girlfriend expecting to see the standard, lame, ridiculously over the top lovey love stories that usually plague romantic comedies nowadays. I am glad to say that for the most part Love and Other Drugs did the rom-com genre particularly well. The plot is simple enough a guy starts selling Viagra, meets a girl well doing it, they start having casual sex and it obviously leads to something much more than that. I know what you're all thinking, "Mikey how does that sound different than any other romantic comedies?" Well to those people I have this to say, "SHUT THE HELL UP AND KEEP READING!" Now the reason it is particularly different is because there relationship starts completely based on sex and to me that seemed a lot more realistic than that love at first sigh crap that every other rom-com stuffs down our throats. Sure there are a lot of cliche lovey scenes such as one point where the guy is driving a car alongside a bus which his woman is inside of while he tries to yell at her from his car. While these scenes are kind of bleh and just stupid in my opinion I'm sure a lot of ladies out there will enjoy them because they obviously see all the other rom-coms with that shit in them. Special note should go out to Hank Azaria who plays a doctor in the movie as he steals he show whenever he's on screen which isn't surprising cause he's great in anything that he's in. Another note is that this movie has A LOT of nudity so gents you got a bunch of naked Anne Hathaway to enjoy (I know I enjoyed it greatly) and ladies you get to look at Jake Gyllenhal in all of his glory (Still sporting his Prince of Persia bust). While on the topic of nudity I have to say this movie should NOT be rated 14A in the least bit it is most definitely an R rated flick judging by all the boobs that you see in this thing. Maybe it's just me but how the hell does the rating system work in Canada? (Expendables is rated R yet this isn't?). As much as I despise the romantic comedy genre I can't help but say I enjoyed this; it's funny, mostly realistic, and actually pretty smart and it's because of these things that I highly recommend Love and Other Drugs if you like the genre or if you just want to see Anne Hathaway naked either way you'll enjoy yourself.
