Cymbalta Commercial And Halo Music

I just seen a crazy anti-depressant drug commercial. The drug is called cymbalta. Anyways what I found odd was the music in the commercial was very similar to that of the Halo theme song. More specifically, from the Halo 3 title menu. Anyways I just thought this was odd and Bungie should defanitly look into this for legal purposes.

TV Character That Probably Play Video Games: Bart Simpson

Well I think Bart Simpson, iconic cartoon character playes video games. In fact in the series he does play video games but he is probably more of a gamer then they let the viewers believe. For Example in season 7, the episode called "Marge Be Not Proud" is all about Bart Simpson wanting to buy a violent video game called Bonestorm. Also in some episods Bart is seen playing a Punch out like game. He also visits the Noiseland Arcade often.

Hence, Bart Simpson is a gamer.

Will Fallout New Vegas be any good?

I do not think it will be bad but it has a lot of hype to live up to after the success of Fallout 3.

Honestly I think Fallout New Vegas will be sort of like COD: World at War; it was a good game but you couldn't help but feel guilty due to the fact that Treyarch just reworked COD 4 which was made by a different company known as Infinity Ward. Anyways Fallout 3 was made by Bethesda while Fallout New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment and from what we know the gameplay of New Vegas is just slightly modified the tiniest bit from Fallout 3.

However Obsidian has a good track record as far as video game development goes. Some of their games include KOTOR II and Neverwinter Nights 2 which are both good games. But they are both sequels and they both where a little bit buggy. Overall I think they can make a good Fallout game but I do not think it will get the same positive press as Fallout 3.

Now there is the new features to deal with. If Obsidian can make them work the game will be great. These features include new weapons, a new companion wheel feature, special attacks and a Hardcore Mode which increases difficulty along with the need to drink water in order to survive.

I think there is plenty of opportunity for Obsidian to mess up on the Hardcore Mode but if they can get it right I may have a post titled Fallout New Vegas is The Shit.

Lastly I must comment on the trailer. It looks very similar to Fallout 3's debut trailer and although it looks cool one can not critically take it apart and sum up their thoughts on the game.

Anyways check out the trailer. Will Fallout New Vegas be Good or Bad?

An Overview Of The First Canadian Video Game Awards

Best Audio Winner:

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn Of War 2

-I have never been a fan of Warhammer and will probably never play a warhammer game so only the niche that plays this game can vouch for this.

Best Tech, Art, Game Design and Console Game:

Winner: Assasin's Creed 2

Draw(Best Tech): Prototype + Assasin's Creed 2

-All I can say here is AC 2 overkill. Come on people AC 2 was a good game but by no means spectacular. Also What is up with the draw?

Best Writing Winner: Dragon Age Origins

-This game was Canadian?

Best Downloadable Game Winner: Critter Crunch

-Really original game. If you have not gave it a shot yet you should. Great Pic.

Best Handheld Game Winner: Heros Of Might And Magic: Clash of Heros

-Ewww... Good game, not great.

Most Promising Video Game Winner: Mod Nation Racers

-This game is Canadian? Naw I knew that already but honestly this is a good pic I have heard a lot about this game.

Best In-Game Cinematics Winner: Ghostbusters The Game

-One Word: Epic!!

Game Of The Year Winner: Dragon Age Origins

-I voted for this one so I'm not arguing. Great Pic!!!

Overall Thoughts:

-It was a good show but the demographic of voters needs to increase for next year. I have a lot of French Canadian friends from Montreal and I believe most of the votes came from Montreal as the winners all seem to be similar: RPGs set in a medieval like setting.

Anyways that is my 2cents on the Canadian Video Game Awards.

Flash Games Always Suck :O

So I was playing Deadly Premonition on my buddies 360 the other day and I couldn't get over how much this game sucked. However it was such a bad game that I had this warm feeling of nostalgic charm. Honestly if there is a bad game that works it is Deadly Premonition.

Then I got thinking about Flash Games. As awsome as it is that they are free, they are nothing compared to games that cost money. I mean in a way Deadly Premonition is a shitty game, there is just no other way to put it but compared to repetitive Flash Games like Dino Run or Jetman it is a great game. This is because as the gameing industry grows so do the games we buy and Flash Games nowadays are just so small they can't compete

So in a way Flash Games suck but not really.

Better Than Steroids and Legal?

So anyways before the new year I told readers there was a supplement out there that was as powerful as steroids and was legal. In fact this supplement is a simple household commodity.

What is it? The answer is plane baking soda (sodium bicarb).

Since the product is a basic it neutralizes lactic acid in your body. This can help for a number of reasons. First it may increase your lactic threshold. Second it can help muscle recovery which in turn enhances overall muscle growth.

Basically in order to take sodium bicarb as a supplement you add a teaspoon of it to water and drink it. Do this twice a day, once in the morning and again at night.

Another positive to using baking soda as a supplement is that it is relatively cheap. However there are numerous negatives too; sodium bicarb is known to sap essential nutrients from the body and it is high in sodium. Hence I cannot recommend this supplement in its current state.

Since I am not a certified personal trainer I will start sourcing my fitness information.
