51 year old Women Beaten to Death an Xbox
joeisremy | 4:54 PM on 09.18.2008 25 comments



Two Kids 14 and 15 along with another man were arrested in the murder of 51 year old women they were trying to get the xbox.
Video and info can be found here:

Now for those of you who don't know where Kenosha is, it's about a 30 miles away from Milwaukee. Now if this would have happen in milwaukee I would have said that it makes sense given the other stupid crimes that happen everyday here but Kenosha is the burbs. Anyways expect this to probably become a big deal in a few days. What the police chief said is pretty good stuff.

A Younger Solid Snake
joeisremy | 12:17 PM on 04.17.2008 14 comments


About a year back or so there was a trailer where Snake at the end of it pretend to be a statue and when his mask comes off and we see a much younger Solid Snake(who is immediately crapped on by a bird). This has been talked about very little but I noticed something and I might be late but I'll do it anyways.

I noticed in this pic of the box from the Akihabara Difference story, that the Snake in this ad i a much younger one then the one we've seen in most trailers. His face is not as lined and he has no mustache.

So what is Kojima up to? A Younger clone? I just wanted to throw this out there see if anyone else has any ideas about it.

I can't find any clips of it on youtube. But if you find the Episode Deep Freeze from the 90's cartoon. You might find yourself thinking of bioshock while you watch it.

Blockbuster Rant
joeisremy | 5:32 PM on 09.03.2007 9 comments


OK, I am quite the "broke ass dude". I don't have the money to run out and buy every game I want to play so I turn to renting them. There is something I've noticed that I'm wondering if anyone else has. What is the deal with Wii rentals at blockbuster. I went there today in hopes of finding a copy of Metroid however the ONE copy they has already gone. So I counted some of the other games 3 copies of SpongeBob SquarePants, 2 copies of Barnyard, and 6 copies of Transformers. It seemed liked every game that was exclusive to the Wii like WarioWare and Metroid are getting the short end of the stick. Who at Blockbuster thinks this is a good idea. When they complain about Wii rental they can only blame themselves for having such a shitty selection.

Metal Gear Solid 4: We've run out of ideas
joeisremy | 8:31 PM on 08.22.2007 11 comments



With so much wonderful stuff for mgs 4 there seemed like nothing for me to stop for a second and say wait a minute... But with the reveal of 4 new bosses I knew it was to good to be true.

In metal gear solid 4 you will be fighting Psycho Mantis 2(Screaming Mantis). Doctor Octopus(Laughing Octopus), archangel(Raving Raven) and a piece of Voltron (Crying Wolf). While Kojima seems to be the master of next gen game play his idea for bosses seems to be stuck back on the NES. The names are on par with the Machine Gun Kid. Metal Gear Solid seemed to be the only game with an original set of bosses after that it's just been copy cats and fatmen. I guess the bosses have really been hit or miss in the series and I'm going to have to go with miss on these. I was hoping for a little more originality in the bosses than this.

Metal Gear in So(uth America)lid

On the latest Kojima Productions Report they talk about how they reveal a new location in the E3 trailer. The fight between Vamp and Raiden doesn't take place in the Middle East but instead South America. Not being and architecture buff and I hadn't noticed that the buildings were of a different style and time period than the ones in previous trailers.
