About Me: I knew at an early age that I wanted to make a career out of writing about games, and now I have. You'll find most of my stuff right here on HonestGamers, of course, but don't be surprised if my name pops up elsewhere. Living out my dream keeps me very busy, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Perhaps the most impressive thing I can say about "Iron Man" is that it's a good movie. Not that it's a good superhero movie, or a good action movie. No extraneous adjectives need apply. It's a good movie on any terms, and that's what impresses me so much about it. Usually, I think, superhero movies are beautiful spectacles but they don't have a lot of oomph to them once that polished sheen wears off a few years after their release.

I was fiddling around on StumbleUpon and came across a page that I thought was pretty dang funny. You can find it here:

It's six years old and out of date, but for people who have been married to their computers for the last 10 years or so it should strike a funny bone similar to the one it struck with me.

One benefit of the new video format is that people who make cool game videos can now enjoy audiences on multiple sites. I found that out firsthand when I ported all of my video files over to YouTube. Within a day, I already had a subscriber!

That was kind of neat, so I decided to create just a handful of new videos, since the stuff I'd posted before was old.

I started by making more mission videos for 1943: The Battle of Midway, one of my favorite NES games. I noticed that while there were several videos for the game on YouTube, they mostly were hacked games. People were playing through the early levels with maximum stats, dying and then saying "Wow, but at least I did really good!"

Though I just recently moved to the Oregon Coast (and thus live quite close to Depoe Bay where it was filmed), I hadn't sat down to watch "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in, well... ever. Still, I'd heard good things and I figured I owed it to myself to watch it. Of course, I was right.

Jack Nicholson isn't an actor I usually think much of. Maybe I've just seen the wrong movies. He plays in interesting films and I never hate his performance. It's just that he always seems to portray such outlandish characters. I start to wonder if he can play 'normal' at some point. If I was hoping to see that side of him tonight, though, certainly I picked the wrong movie. His character in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is crazy.

I've set things up so that UK users can access the site through HonestGamers.co.uk and find the site more closely tailored to their regions.

For example, game profile pages will now display content relating to the UK by default, rather than the US. And of course, the URL reflects the UK location. Also, I will gradually be setting things up so that '(Import)' doesn't appear next to game profiles outside of North American releases.

HonestGamers is really a multi-nation site, and I hope that this change will reflect that and encourage more people from throughout the world to sample our content.

Site servers are such a pain. I spent something like 100 hours over the course of the last week. Finally, the move is all but complete. A few minor issues people pointed to have been fixed, the site is on the new server and running quickly and mentally... I am drained.

As such, I really enjoyed the video I'm about to embed in this post more than I may have otherwise. One note: if you start to watch and find yourself offended, please sit through two drawings before deciding if you're really offended. It's an awesome video that really showcases an amazing artist.

This fact is going to make some of you scratch your heads, but I'll say it anyway: until last week, I had never seen "Pulp Fiction." I know that's incredible, what with me being a heterosexual male over 20, but there you have it.

Finally, the hype got to me. I think I've mentioned that I'm going through the list of top movies ever made on IMDB, and it came time to view "Pulp Fiction."

I waited until the perfect time to watch the movie, I'd say, because I really enjoyed it. Mostly, that's because I really appreciated the characters.
