Frontlines: Fuel of War

You know, I do love COD4 but...I started reading about "Frontlines: Fuel of War" and started to get a wittle interested because of the vehicles and such (me get to play an engineer again!? I do love the Pilum.) But anyhow...here is a trailer of squad play from GameTrailers:

According to the official website at FrontLines.com, you can play the West or the Red Star Allegiance in the near future...gee, wonder which one I'll choose. (SOVIET!!) The graphics are pretty posh (it runs on the Unreal 3 engine), and you can pick perks to drop massive cluster bombs on rival squads as you fight over control points across maps that supposedly, are 4 miles of area big.

Looks like it definitely focuses on Squad play versus solo and that's something that I miss from BF2 & 2142, with a customizable soldier system in regards to "talents" and weapon load out.

The bad news...? PC Gamer said it looked good and they pretty much toss any developer's ass that grants them an interview...

Still...gonna keep an eye out for developments in this one. The vids look pretty tasty!

It's Coming! American Gladiators!

Anyone around my age has seen the "American Gladiators." Even if you didn't want to, you saw them. They were (literally) huge. I think the baddest bitch I remember was Blaze. And now they're coming back! (I think they show the old school episodes on ESPN classic, but I don't remember the times.)

I guess this Sunday at 9/8c (Prime time. I thought the original was in the morning?) on NBC "Gladiators" will be back hosted by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali. This is going to be so bad it's good. (Just like "Pros vs Joes" though probably not as bone crunchingly good like when Goldberg moiders some guy from NJ.)

I was watching some previews on the official site, and some Asian guy is getting pwnt so I naturally have to tune in (like a douche) and cheer on my AZN brother.

Fight! Who's Sexier?

Eggplant Wizard vs...


King Hippo!!

Wish I could find that clip of where King Hippo says he's gonna' toss Eggplant Wizard's salad. DIRTY!! But sexy at the same time.

La la la. Finish that work up by 10 AM PST, 1/7/08!!

Nerd Alert: New "Dune" Incoming

The only thing I've had a chance to do lately (trying to finish up all my work before the PotBs Pre-Boarding Party) is watch me some movies. And read about 'em. So lookit what I found thanks to Rotten Tomatoes and MTV Movies Blog:

CONFIRMED: Peter Berg Will Direct ‘Dune,’ Talking With Tom Cruise About ‘Edwin A. Salt’

16 Comments | Published by Josh Horowitz on Friday, December 21, 2007 at 4:59 pm.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next huge sci-fi franchise has a director. During an interview with “The Kingdom” director Peter Berg, he confirmed the rumor that “Dune” is coming and that he’s the one that will helm it. Calling the plans for him to direct “a done deal,” Berg told me that “if it weren’t for the writer’s strike, we’d be in it right now.”

Berg says that while there’s no script yet, they have a list of writers they plan to go out to once the strike settles. The helmer called himself “a huge fan of the book” and when asked about the scale of the film, he simply replied, “big big big.”

As any fan of the Frank Herbert classic knows, “Dune” received the big screen treatment once before in a divisive David Lynch film. Berg said that while he’s “a big fan of Lynch,” he believes “that interpretation has left the door wide open for a remake.”

Meanwhile, Berg also confirmed that even before “Dune,” he’s likely to direct Tom Cruise in his next film. Berg called the script about a CIA agent on the run after being accused of being a spy “great” and “a great role for Tom.”

Berg described the story as an “action thriller” and that “the audience is trying to figure out whether this character is good or bad. He’s claiming one thing and we’re not sure up until the very end.”

When asked if he’s met with Cruise himself yet, Berg said “we’ve been talking.”

The biggest things I've seen from Berg are "The Kingdom," & "Friday Night Lights." I fell asleep during the "Kingdom," but liked "Friday Night Lights," so right now I'm not sure how I feel about him directing. Oh well, it's still "Dune," and I sat the other long ass renditions of it so.

Oh, and I saw "Sweeney Todd." I liked it, but I like musicals. I did overhear some douche bag saying, "There was a lot of singing in it." ...Urm...IT'S A MUSICAL, YOU FUCK.

Batman: The Dark Knight Trailer

Whoa.

This is what I missed mocking kids and cats dressed up like reindeer!? Damn you reindeer!

Heath Ledger is hella' fucked up in this trailer.

The Next Next Friday = The "New" A-Team!?

A little downtime during the holidays and I had to catch up on gossip. Well, it actually doesn't seem like Ice Cube will be getting tricked onto a plane anytime soon (thanks to some doped up milk) but it does make you go, "HmmMMmm. Who would be a good BA?" Also, I wonder if Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter will be in the new remake?

Singleton hunts for 'A-Team' team

Fox in early talks with director on remake

By TATIANA SIEGEL

Singleton

Director John Singleton is gearing up to direct a bigscreen version of 1980s TV series "The A-Team" and talking about the casting possibilities all over town.

Twentieth Century Fox is in early talks with the helmer to resuscitate the gang, but the studio said no deal is in place, and the project is not envisioned as a pre-SAG/DGA strike affair.

Ice Cube, who starred in Singleton's debut, "Boyz N the Hood," has been rumored as a potential B.A. Baracas (played by Mr. T in the NBC series), but Fox denied that possibility.

Latest incarnation, penned by Jayson Rothwell, revolves around a group of Iraq vets wanted by the U.S. military for a crime they didn't commit. Their adventures combine helping the innocent while running from the law. Story has been given a modern twist by involving oil tycoons and laser technology.
