Seriously

Today was pretty funny.  I was an induction exam at work which I need to ace to prove that I'm smart enough to work there.  Studying is usually also considered a good thing.  Guess who didnt bother?  So doing the test and at the end the lady takes my paper and sees I've only done around 3/4 of the questions.  She asked me why I didnt do all of it.  I pretty much just did what I did in high school, grin and say I dont know the answes.  She was all like but you really should know these you have to know them.  To which I replied, you can say that as often as you like but I still dont know the answer.  Should be fun to see where this goes lol.  I already told a couple friends from my previous job that if I get let go from this place I'm buying this legendary chocolate cake from a bakery we know of and we're all eating in celebration.

I've also decided Jed is the biggest troll this side of the side I'm not on.  We briefly talked about the comic and how much he's done on the latest page.  He showed me what he's done.  It was a big toe.  Just a toe.  No nail, just the toe.  He didnt even give me the effort of drawing a nail.  I mean if the nal had a pattern on it then sure that would of been cool, but I was robbed or a nail.  In all seriousness he's done half of it, but not in proper detail.  We want it to look like we planned it before he tosses in his mojo.  I'm the sort of person who would like to see something done right so I dont mind how long it takes.  Unfortunately that means the next portal video will be delayed till he finishes this.  But dont worry, I've decided to upload a very small piece of the clip on here in the next few days for you little skanks to have a sneak preview.  Its the least I can do.

Last night I finally watched Insidious.  I had plenty of people telling me the movie was scary, one of the scariest in years.  So I sat down excitedly to watch since I love horror films and theres a huge lack of good ones.  Needless to say that halfway through I'd decided it was one of the worst horror films I'd ever watched.  I had to go to the end though.  Forced myself.   The film is NOT scary.  I dont know how anyone can find it scary.  The only thing it did was shock you with loud butchered music when a ghost appeared.  Cause thats supposed to somehow be horror.  Disgusted is what I was.  Friend however told me of a movie that came out in spain that was supposed to be pretty scary and had gotten lots of great reviews.   And to be honest practically all the scary movies in the last few years have come from europe so I was interested.  Hopefully I'll get to watch it tomorrow.  At the very least over the weekend. I need to wash my brain out with some quality after that absolute shit film I suffered.

  1. Yea, I'd like to watch some Other-side-of-the-lake movies, but here all they commercialize is big ticket garbage Hollywood movies.

    You should make a list of movies you watch and think are awesome. I had a list of ones mentioned in your older blog posts but I lost it.

  2. I'll tell you most scary movies are just cliche now. "OH NO A KILLER! I HIDE IN CLOSET LIKE RETARD! DERP DERP."
    I've given up on the horror series for the most part. You should start doing a list of horror films you really enjoyed. Then everyone can start sharing movies and hopefully we'll find the best ones out there.

  3. i would recommend "the grudge" to you- you will never lie alone in your bed while it's dark the same again.

  4. I've seen the grudge, japanese and american versions. They're ok. Japanese ones obviously better.

  5. then i say watch "the thing". it's a messed up movie about a grotesque parasite alien thing, and has one of the most famously suspenseful scenes in film history in it.

  8. if not there's: "it", the exorcism, halloween, the hills have eyes, and some others.

    also, try horror GAMES like silent hill, slaughter house 2 and amnesia the dark descent. in fact, just play amnesia and you'll get all the pant-crapping you'll need for the year. there's also a "the grudge" game, which is actually decent.

  9. Yep, played those although still need to find the time for Amnesia, but I had it purchased. Alien is one of my favourite films ever, Aliens being my ultra fave. I have the delicious blurah anthology too. I made a blog post on it a while ago. I have a picture of me with it lol

  11. All Horror movies/games listed in previous comments are as scary as a bunny eating a carrot. The old ones are always the best. Watch Nosferatu if you haven't already. It's not shit your pants scary, but it's eerie as hell.

  12. Yep seen that. I grew up watching horror movies lol. And I already have amnesia. Just havent had the time to play it. No I wont be making a playthrough because when I play games I do it quietly since I'm trying to enjoy the game and its atmosphere. Talking to myself would ruin that.
