Fan have
been waiting with baited breath for the upcoming conclusion to the popular AMC
series Breaking Bad. Fan's
anticipation was barely satiated with the eight episode half-fifth season
released last summer. Producers of
Breaking Bad have been very tight lipped about what will happen during the
upcoming final episodes. During
appearances on various talkshows, as well as parodies done in coordination with DowntonAbbey, not much have been given away,
leading to rampant fan speculation.
This week
an image was leaked that may provide clues as to what the final episodes of
Breaking Bad may hold. This image,
leaked to this publication by Hect Dogg Industries, shows a
very different Walter White than we have seen before. Rather than speculate any further, let's let
the image speak for itself.

Last
Monday saw the formal announcement of something that people following this
situation have long since known about.
Comcast owned G4, the alleged game network that aired mainly
infomercials and Cops, is going to be undergoing a transformation. G4 will become the Esquire Network. The Esquire Network, according
to the announcement, will "feature a blend of unscripted and scripted series, and movies and specials that appeal to today’s man".
It appears
that Comcast is already making formal arrangements for content for this
network. Comcast has not green light any
original programming for the Esquire Network.
Rather, Comcast has already begun selling ad space for this
channel. Ad space is already being sold
despite not having a show during which these ads would air. However, the entities buying ad time may
provide a more definite clue as to the direction of this network.
Besides
the usual ad buys from soda companies, organizations running public service
announcements, and other cable networks, a large block of ad time has been
bought by C.B. Fleet Company. C.B. Fleet
Company is the manufacturer of Summer's Eve, one of the largest vaginal douche
products on the market today. In a
statement, C.B. Fleet Company spokesman
Spencer Pratt said the following:
"We at C.B. Fleet Company are always looking for an
opportunity to enter new markets and reach consumers in innovative and dynamic
ways. With the Esquire Network, C.B.
Fleet Company saw an opportunity to reach a new class of consumer already
familiar with douches, as well as douchebags."
In
response, Comcast President Jack Donaghy said the following:
"The Italians have a saying, Ginger. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies
closer' And, although they've never won
a war or mass-produced a decent car, in this area they are correct."
Assassin’s Creed 2 Review There are two games that were released last year that many people said were very similar but I have different overall opinions of. Those games are Prototype and Infamous. My opinions of these games seem to hinge on one thing: Getting from point to point in the cities these games take place in. I love getting around in Prototype. Running around on the city streets for miles and miles without stopping, plowing through huge groups of people like they were a stack of cardboard boxes, and scaling the side of giant skyscrapers with relative ease all add to the overall freedom of movement in this game. However my favorite part of getting around in this game is the drifting. Jumping off the top of the skyscraper and gliding through the air over several city blocks appeals to me on a basic level. There are times while I was playing Prototype where I wasn’t doing anything in particular, just drifting around this obvious copy of New York City. I had nearly the exact opposite experience getting around the city while playing Infamous. First of all, you can’t run very fast in this game, so running down the city streets is rather tedious. You’re better off going the direct way, which involves scaling buildings. Not running head on up the side of a building like I was a Jamaican sprinter, but having to find foot holds and hand holds on ledges, masonry, access ladders, and flag poles to drive yourself upward and onward. This isn’t a bad thing, in fact having to find your way like this when faced with time constraints and certain death can be a refreshing challenge. The problem comes with the henchmen that are sent after you. On every rooftop, every billboard, every outdoor garden in this city sit these enemies in red hoods. Most henchmen in video games aren’t that much of a threat and neither are these except for one thing. These henchmen are brilliant skillshots. It doesn’t matter if you’re three feet away, or three buildings away, if these henchmen spot you they will shoot you, and they will always hit you. These henchmen ruined Infamous for me. Whenever I wasn’t actively playing out a mission, these henchmen would pop up and slowly drain my health away. There came a point where I could choose to either meticulously go through this city and eliminate these henchmen or just endure them and neither option really appealed to me. Assassin’s Creed 2 has the same kind of building climbing mechanic that Infamous has but also incorporate something Prototype has: freedom. Yes there are henchmen in AC2 but most henchmen stay on the ground and are rather easy to elude if you go vertical. Even the rooftops henchmen you do encounter are easily dispatched. While you can’t fly over several city blocks like you can in Prototype, you can scale up beautifully recreated pieces of Italian architecture that evoke a similar response in another part of the brain. The free running mechanic is what Assassin’s Creed 2 is built on and this mechanic is pulled off masterfully. I do wish the fighting mechanic was a bit more polished, but perhaps that is something Ubisoft will work on for AC3. Assassin’s Creed 2: B+
Hunter Red For Senate In 2030 Hunter Red is sitting in his office working on Project Carole when his phone starts to ring. Hunter picks up the phone and says- Hunter- Hello. Voice On Phone- He Hunter, this is Crystal Motoko from SLCMetropolitan. Do you remember meeting me at the charity dinner for the Kinneas Medical Institute? H- The only person I remember meeting at that dinner is the bartender. The rest of the night is a blur. Crystal- Well, I’m calling in regards to our Sexiest Man in Salt Lake issue. H- Do you want me to write up a piece for it? C- No. We took a poll in our office and you were found to be the sexiest man in Salt Lake. There is a short pause. H- Did Robin put you up to this? C- Who? H- Robin, my girlfriend. C- You have a girlfriend? H- Yes, I talk about her on my blog. C- You have a blog? There is a short pause. H- So, SLCMetropolitan is seriously going to name me the sexiest man in Salt Lake. C- Yes. H- Because your staff believe I am the sexiest man in Salt Lake. C- No. H- So why are you giving me this title? C- We want to start grooming you. There is a short pause. H- Like a monkey? C- (Laughs lightly) Oh goodness no. We want to start preparing you for political office. H- What, Satirist is Chef? C- No, senate. H- The Utah State Senate? C- No, the US Senate. We think you would be ideal to replace Orrin Hatch when he retires in 2030. H- You think he’s going to live that long? C- With the advances pioneered by the Kinneas Medical Institute, yes. So, you up for revealing your hot body to the women of the world? H- I don’t think you’re up for it. C- Why? Hunter places his hand over the phone and says- H- Robin. Robin- (At her desk outside in the common area of the R.C.O.A. office) Yes? H- Do you have those nude photos of me you took. R- Yes I do. H- Do you have Crystal Motoko’s email address? R- Yeah, why do you ask? H- Could you send a nude photo of me to Crystal. I’m on the phone with her about SLCMetropolitan’s Sexiest Man in Salt Lake issue. There is a short pause. R- Do you want me to sent the one that does or does not show your junk? H- Not. R- Okay, I’m doing that now. Hunter takes his hand off his phone and starts talking to Crystal again. H- Okay, Crystal should be sending you a nude photo of myself now. C- Okay, let me go check and see- Ah there it is. There is a short pause as Crystal reads the email. C- (In an obviously shocked tone) Oh. Oh dear. That’s not- I mean- That’s simply- (Dry heaving noise) Get it away! A dial tone is heard signifying that Crystal has hung up the phone. H- That’s what I thought her reaction would be. Hunter goes back to work. He picks the newspaper and says- H- Looks like Scott Brown has done good for himself.

People have been critical of Fox News’s interview style. People have said it’s too conciliatory, not in any way aggressive, and generally kind of suckupish. There are people who will argue that this journalism style is contained to Fox News and does not occur in any other media source. I submit this video as evidence to the contrary.

Take your normal superhero origin story. Guy gets powers, guy realizes he has powers, guy goes out to save the world. Now factor this in: the guy has a score to settle.
Everybody wonders what it is that makes them who they are. The Hawk thought that question was securely answered. However a meeting with a boy in a hospital causes him to question everything. Why he is, who he is, what he is, and even if he is.
Eleven years after the events of Consequences Of Mayorust, The Hawk finds himself dealing with many of the same issues that many of us deal with: A less than satisfying job, co-workers of variant annoyance, and a romantic life is unhealthy at best. Thrust into all this is Madison Medina, a well meaning woman who's adversarial relationship with The Hawk morphs into a kind of friendship. Madison, in addition to learning more about herself and her abilities, help to reveal deeper problems inside the organization both she and The Hawk work for.
In every workplace there is a person. A person who doesn't talk to anyone, has walled themselves socially, and seems openly hostile to everyone. Every workplace has this person, even if you don't know of such a person, they're there. The Black Robin Christmas Carol is the story of one of these people. It delves into who this person is, why this person is, and how this person can change for the better.
There is a story. A story of pain, a story of loss, a story of unspeakable horrors, a story that has not been given it's proper attention. Some are ignoring this story. Some are unaware of this story. Some know of this story but are complicit in it's darkness. This is a story that must be told. Told so that the good can stop it and the bad can feel shame for it.
When I thought up thig blog, the name I first thought up was "Random Bullshit". Quickly I recognized that this name would put some people off. Then I thought of the name "Random Bull****". That seemed to be to much clutter. Then I was inspired with the name that dons this blog today.
