First it was Street Fighter 4. Then StarCraft 2. Then Diablo 3. Now Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has officially been announced, complete with cinematic teaser trailer.And it looks...so...fucking gay.It seems like the age of the sprite is dead, as far as Capcom fighting games go. That makes me sad, but I had similar fears for Street Fighter 4's new visual style, and that didn't turn out to be a complete

Check this out. I was literally just walking along that stretch of road earlier this morning! Well...not really this morning, more like yesterday after work, on the way to pick up my comics at Hairy Tarantula. And it wasn't really that exact stretch of road, but rather the opposite side of the street, on the west side of Yonge. But still! I almost died! Shower me with your attention and well

In honor of the trailer for "The Other Guys", I'd like to post this oldie but goodie."I am THIS close to raping you!"

All Uncovered - The WatchmenOn a Saturday evening, three Asians are in a car headed to the small town of Morris, just a thirty minute drive from Winnipeg. Dan decided to come with us and I'm glad he did, because he drove. It's well documented that I have a fondness for staring out the window during long trips and the road to Morris provided a seemingly endless view of plains and farmland. Well

I have been increasingly frustrated at work over the last...like eight to ten weeks, just dealing with this current project that refuses to die. I'm surrounded by people from other groups who I constantly need to educate how to do their jobs, and it's making me grumpy. I would pray for large grand pianos to be dropped on their heads, but the cruel tragedy of that would be that I would just have

I Am...I Said - Neil DiamondLast week marked the longest time I've ever lived with some semblance of independence. My parents once left the house to me for a couple of weeks, but my mother made enough precooked food to feed a village and I still had plenty of contact with friends and family. Derek had to go out of town last month, but that was just for a weekend. This time he trusted me with

Either/Or - Elliott SmithThere's a common belief out there that when I go out with my boys we, as the black people put it these days, run this town. While that's a notion that I've enjoyed and perpetuated for years, I'm afraid that the time has come for full disclosure: We do not run Toronto or Winnipeg or any other town for that matter. Then again, I wasn't along on the now legendary Montreal

Party For Two - Shania TwainTwo things prevent me from launching into a full recap of the events of this past weekend. First, I don't know if my current memory of these events is even really that accurate. There was a lot of alcohol involved. Second, I don't know if I did anything that I'm actually that proud of and want to record in this space. Again, there was a lot of alcohol involved. However

As a somewhat casual sports fan, I regularly see outrageous claims of instant history, and there is a big what-have-you-done-for-me-lately type of mentality that dominates the public perception of players and teams and events as they happen. Too often are we looking at guys to hold up as the next Gretzky or the next Jordan, too often are we saying this was the best team/game/era of all time...the

And Me - Beastie BoysOn my personal list of Dos and Don'ts, you can highlight "Don't go see a movie in the theatres by yourself" as a rule that I have stood firm on my entire life. When you think about it though, there isn't much justification for that rule. Yes, sitting in a crowded theatre and laughing or crying with your party can make a movie more involving, but it's not essential. It

Excuse Me Miss - Jay-ZLook, I'm usually the last person to complain about needing to interact with people (er, barring that last post), but seeing as how my only company over the last month has been Derek and the reprobates at my gym I think this recent bout of loneliness is more than understandable.Derek took me out on Saturday night to meet some of his friends from work.

I was wasting my life away on YouTube at 2:00 AM last night, and I discovered that there are some really wack rap cameos out there. One thing lead to another, and so here we find ourselves once again ready to embark on an exciting new journey.The following is one man's humble attempt to scientifically quantify these levels of wackness, and to identify the five most offensively wack songs that

I Would Be Your Man - The OddsQuick one for this week. I thought I'd let everyone know if I've learned anything practical since I've been out here. One of the major things I wanted to do out here was learn how to cook and I can say that my cousin Derek has done a great job helping me learn the basics. We're talking spaghetti sauce, eggs, sausage, all that good stuff. Nothing fancy.Before he

I won't get into the long history of it, suffice to say that, for whatever reason, the Lord saw fit to grace me with an overwhelming libido at an early, early age. That, and a thin, wiry frame that has proven invaluable in the

New Slang - The ShinsThe last time I found myself on an airplane was about seven or eight years ago. We were going to Peru to see some relatives. It was the first time that I would be abroad. The trip had several highs and lows, most of which I recorded at the time and for one reason or another have never gotten around to posting here. It was a long time ago, but with some editing it could

Here are a few things that I have been watching recently:1. Aziz Ansari, my favourite "that guy" who has been appearing in all those TV Shows and Judd Apatow movies, is doing alright for himself. He has a new comedy special on DVD called "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening." Here is a bit from that. At the end of his DVD, Aziz does his encore as RAAAAAAAANDY (with 8 a's), the Dane Cookian

The first time I heard that song, I thought it was some Spanish guy's name. Like it was a song about the Mexican Santa, the guy who Generic White Santa delegated all the Mexican homes to because he didn't want to cross into Mexico. I was pretty racist as a kid too.Although I'm still not too sure I want Santa crossing in Mexico, you know what with all the big swine flu fuss and so forth earlier
