The movie depicts a Dracula that must have found out that he could talk his way into any all-you-can-eat buffet and not pay, because he must be the fattest blood sucker ever shown on film. Even though I don’t believe the size of the actor is important, it sure didn’t help. The acting left much to be desired, and with all the energy spent on hand movements, who could have enough energy for acting anyway. During the rape scene I thought he was making himself float by pure finger power. He also seemed to be the worst use of powers of any Dracula, the only man he kills on camera is hung. How can you have the power to fly a man to the top of a cliff and let go or slowly drain him of all his blood, and you choose to have him hang himself.

With all things considered, the movie is worth watching on the sole count that it’s just so funny to watch how bad Bram Stoker did. Other wise, with random broken chairs, wereweilers(werewolf rotweilers), body count of one, and the horrible rape scene that made me laugh more than anything, this movie was just bad.

This movie recieves a rating of: Awful! (Start A Riot)

Here’s a cool use of the fresh avatars from The New Xbox Experience (NXE).  I originally thought these avatars were going to be a cheesy rip-off from the Nintendo Miis but I was wrong!  Now I feel like the avatars and I should stop fighting and make up because there are beautiful songs to dance to.  Like Justice’s Genesis above or Daft Punk after the break.

This guy, featured on Today’s BIG Thing, has combined some great drumming chops with a crazy home made Drum-Guitar controller hybrid to make Dragonforce on Guitar Hero 2 even harder.  The video is long but the insanity is captured in the first minute (in case you’ve got the ADD).  Thanks to SpankyStokes for the great tip.

Now, those that play games constantly know that there is always the problem of not enough exp, items, or money to complete the game safely and easily. With that in mind, the ability to find ways to make it easier on the player is always in high demand. Some might say that these “get good quick” schemes are too easy and are “cheats”, even though most of the schemes are built into the games but just to simple for people to think of until the game’s already out. Now in some games you might be able to find a way to only receive an abundance of money. Like the “money cheat” in the original Fable where you could buy and sell as much as you wanted and make enough money to buy the entire continent. Others would give you two of the three, like Final Fantasy 12’s easy way to make money and exp by killing the same types of monsters for increased loot and the added exp. Sometimes it might take someone a couple of playthroughs to figure out these “cheats”; and other times it might take only 3 hours of play. However for those that look for the way to do things as easy as possible, none was easier to figure out than Fable 2’s “cheat”.

The creators have learned from Fable 1 not to make the prices dependent on the amount of items the vender has. Instead, you may only buy one item every couple of days, this will come into play later on. Now after you first get to Bowerstone, get to the blacksmith job and work until you have about 5000 gold. Now buy a house, if you wish to be evil you can raise the price to be around 200% normal price. Now be a good little player and save your progress, because you just made the best investment of your life. Every five minutes you will be paid, now to be fair the amount at first is not that much, you will only receive 100 gold or so for a while. However, if you listen to what I said before, you make money every five minutes. That includes anytime you spend offline. So I repeat, save your game, now go to Xbox dashboard, change the internal clock to one month ahead and look at your fortune. Log on to your account and but any shop you can get your money grubbing hands on.

With every building you buy, the amount of money you receive next will be higher and higher. After a good 20 minutes you should not only have a small fortune but also all the buildings in Bowerstone. Now, weapons, food, and enough money to buy the rest of the world is nice but it won’t help as much as getting an easy access to lots of exp. So for my next trick I will give you a sure fire way of getting you all those level 5 abilities you want so dearly. One of the shops in Bowerstone’s marketplace is a potions shop.  Go inside and buy everything they have in stock. A couple of the potions should give you different amounts of exp per use. Now if you go and sleep for a week the shop should have another shipment of the potions for you. Now for an easier time leveling, push through the next couple of main quests until you are about to get on the boat to go to the spire. Remember DON’T GO TO THE SPIRE RIGHT AWAY! go to the Bowerstone potion shop again and look at the new inventory that can increase your exp by a couple thousand. Remember there are always more than one way to make loads of money in games, so don’t think of this way as the one way to do it.

But remember, just because the game creator didn’t think of that as a way to make money, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, or that it’s a cheat. If anything, it means that your playing by the rules set down by the system and you have come out on top. So go forth and use the rules to your advantage; don’t think of them as restrictions. Think of them as fences you can hop over when you learn how to.

From Flight of the Conchords, this is a song devoted to a band mate that’s a little down. There’s nothing wrong with a heterosexual guy singing for another heterosexual guy. It’s just a fellow friend singing a song to help out with some self-esteem issues, right?

He’s awesome at cards, he’s not afraid of guns, and he’s Italy’s only hope!  Don’t get in his way unless you want your head squeezed into snakes.  Here’s the link in case there’s a need for more Italian karate action.

This amazing short film (from Danny Brown at Sensei Studios) was actually made back in 2004 but that doesn’t make it any less new to me.  The video is shown entirely in reverse motion which allows for some cool tricks by the main character to appear as though he’s moving rocks with his mind.  I’m sure some of these “telekinesis” shots took hours to set up and even longer to perfect.  The beginning is a little slow but stick with it, it gets better.  Thanks to Dave Schumaker from LaughingSquid for the recommendation on this great video.

Here’s Rainn Wilson (from The Office) singing “a timeless classic children’s song about the magic of childbirth” on the “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”.  The juxtaposition of Rainn’s head on a kid’s body is a little creepy but why else would it be so funny?

Also, be extremely careful if this song gets stuck in your head like me.  I was singing this out loud in an elevator full of people and it got a little awkward.  Those people just need to loosen up about micturating in the elevator.
