No one messes with the Batman.

You might of heard about this, maybe not, either way.

Christian Bale is starring in Terminator 4 as John Conner. While on set, doing his acting thing, apparently the light guy had to cut across the area (the cameras were not rolling at the time). What do normal people go? Pause and wait. What does Batman do? Rips off his head and rapes the corpse.

He verbally raped this camera man, for a good 2 minutes, at least. Since youtube is... well... youtube, somehow the audio recording made it up. However, what this means is there has been about 3,000,000,000 spoofs and distortions of the original, so its kind of buried. However, family guy did a spoof using the actual recording of Bale.

[Note: The other person (not Peter) IS Christian Bale, and IS the actual recording of him flipping on the lights man]



(family guy's is pretty funny, I wish I could find the whole unedited non-spoof version though, I want to know what the camera man actually responded with)

The 'famous'

[long time no post. With school, WoW, my comic, and my girlfriend, it is kind of hard to get around to update, however I will stick to a schedule if an agreeable one is posted in the comments section of this post.]

When someone says "famous people" the first thought of most is the Hollywood Stars, or stupid blonds who abuse their fame, and are stupid. However, the internet community has its own famous people, that are equally, if not more so, awesome.

At the forefront of internet stars are the Web Comic writers, and the Youtube stars. This is about the second category. I was going to go into a whole bunch of the more famous youtubers and what they do and such, but then I thought...

No.

Souljaboy is one of those 'stars' so screw that crap. Also the vast majority are either really really really stupid, or gay and stupid. I forgot to mention the Parquor people, and the continental dancers. If your really interested in the famous of youtube, they had an award ceremony where a large amount of said famous people showed up. That would be [here].

The person I will talk about, is one with actual talent: Bo Burnham. This is a 18 year old, that sings some really hilarious songs, that are well done. He was at that award ceremony. Actually, there will be less talking about him, and more going "if you don't know about this guy, check him out, here are links to all his current youtube songs". Note: when I say good, I mean he has played at concerts because of his youtube fame.

Sorry, but the songs that he does that are on youtube the piano is a little loud (when the piano is used). However if you feel the need I know thepiratebay happens to have his CD "Bo Fo Sho" (I do not support Pirating this... *cough*). His CD also has 3 songs that ARE NOT on youtube (from bo), but are fucking amazing.

My whole family...

END OF THE WORLD!!!

'ze zombies are coming!

A roadsign on the side of a highway in Austin, Texas warns motorists of what is up ahead - living dead apocalypse.


That is what the sign really said, and the picture was taken on a cell phone camera. However, the sign is not of the legal, or literal manner. It was in fact the work of a 'hacker' who broke the lock, and reprogrammed the sign to say "CAUTION! ZOMBIES AHEAD!!!! SEEK COLD CLIMATES!". Then the 'hacker' changed the password on the lock, and ran away, meaning the sign had to be fully reset.

Rumour has it that this was a just an advertising scheme by Capcom for Resident Evil 5. However an official statement from a Capcom employee states that this 100% had nothing to do with them, since it is illegal. That doesn't stop them from receiving free marketing however.

A lot of people aren't too happy about this, mainly the police. This "work of a master hacker" doesn't really break major laws, the most severe is actually "vandalism". The "master hacker" comment was made by Austin's Chief of Police."How to Hack a Road Sign" has been posted on the Internet, and to me it doesn't seem like a very hard thing to do... in fact it seems like its pretty easy.

So... who wants to change a road sign to say:
"HONK IF YOUR GAY FOR JESUS" ?

Esca-Rancher.

So, a lot of people have fond memories of the show Escaflowne. It was one of the first anime on TV that were pretty widely watched by a younger audience. The show is (in a nutshell) about a group of people who pilot medieval mechs, on a mythical planet, fighting against an evil nation.

More of the people reading this however, probably remember the show Monster Rancher. That also had a person who got teleported to a mythic land to fight an evil nation of baddies. However, instead of mechs, they had monsters that they summoned from discs they found.

I fondly remember both of these shows, and have actually recently watched both; Monster Rancher was last year, and I just spent the weekend watching Escaflowne. While watching Escaflowne the first time (first of this time, so friday)), I watched it in Japanese with English subs (everyone who watches anime knows the japanese voices are much better, however sometimes the case is not wanting to read). The second time I watched it with my girlfriend, and she wanted to watch it in english, because she 'remembered the english being OK'. It wasn't. However, as I was watching it I realized something: Escaflowne, has many of the Monster Rancher voice actors.

A quick IMDB reveals I was right!:
I think that is pretty funny just how many are shared between the two. The sad thing is the person that voices Genki and Dilandau sucks for both roles... or well... its more suited for Genki but still.
