So I was going to write a post here saying that I gave Carter and Jesse posting privileges to the website here, but I realized you guys are the only readers. So you guys already know or will when you check your e-mail.

Well i apologize about not posting frequently as of late. The move to Hartford is now complete and we have internet again. Once things settle down the posting will come back as will I am sure the heckling.

I get it Hollywood is spent of ideas. HecklerSpray has an article about the new smurfs movie and that it will be live action.

It worked for transformers and Alvin and the chipmunks, so they figure what other cartoons from that period can we recreate.

• Well Thundercats?? Nah putting cats in human clothes is more effort than its worth.
• DinoRiders? They are saving that for Jurassic Park 4.
• Bucky O’Hare? Hero movies are trendy. but nobody respects rabbits.

I just picture this movie being the Blue Man Group combined with Honey I shrunk the Kids and my grandfather chasing them down with Eiffel 65 playing in the background.

If I could see one 80’s show as a live action movie it would definitely be Pirates of Dark Water. That show was awesome, but really they could only ruin it.

So I am sure everyone heard about the new 3G iPhone announced yesterday. Yada yada yada no need for a post about that, I think the real question that no one is addressing is when is the price of the Touch going to go down.

The new iPhone costs 199 for the 8GB and 299 for the 16GB, while the Touch costs 299 for the 8GB and 399 for the 16GB. Is this a discount on the iPhone like with normal phones on a new contract?

Regardless it seems backwards to me that the iPhone costs less than the Touch eventhough it’s just a dumbed down version.

Long story short I want an iPod Touch and I am whiney.

So I went away for a few days over the weekend to Harford.  I knew i was going to be going away for like 4 days so I left out the auto cat feeder and auto cat waterer. So anyways, I come home and the cats are just being rebellious. I believe they were trying to usurp me.

So I thought about it long and hard and I feel it came down to the food and water. They thought they didn’t need me any more. It’s like when animals are traveling in a pact and find a stream and plenty of fresh water they start to kill off the weaker animals, because they no longer need help and those weaker animals are going to run down the food supply. (On a side note, I assume this is what happened to Big Foot. And the Johnson family)

 So long story short once they ran out of food, they realized who was the boss.

Me.

Although I haven’t given my job my 2 weeks yet, I have given them my notice that I will be leaving. Yesterday I got an e-mail asking me to post my own job on our websites. It was a weird feeling, almost like faking your own death and then watching the funeral.

I think the best part about it though was how terrible they made my job sound. It had things like must be proficient with Windows. Listen, if you don’t know how to work windows you shouldn’t be working at all, let alone with online content.

Anyone who wants an account on Brian Carl .com to post let me know and I will make it, but I hold the write to revoke membership for  posts about King of the Hill

If there is one word that describes Brian Carl it is…well…..patriotic. Okay well that is not true, but I was a patriot this weekend and blew my entire economic stimulus check buying an XBOX. I must say this was a great experience. I purchased GTA IV and Tony Hawk Project 8 along with multiple accessories including a pink controller for the lady. (Yes she did request it, but I probably would have bought it anyway.) I have yet to open Tony Hawk.

I have to say GTA really lived up to the hype behind it. I have barley cracked the surface of the storyline, but there are huge improvements from San Andreas. One of the biggest additions is the stealth moves. You hit a button and hide behind a wall or pole and pop out when you are shooting. Also now you can shoot your front window out of your car and shoot 180 degrees out of the car. No more are the days of just shooting left or right. 

The biggest improvement though was the multi-player. There are so many modes in it but the 2 that are my favorite is the plain old death match and the GTA Race. I have to say I expected the deathmatch when they announced that GTA had online, but not the racing. The GTA race is awesome, the last on i played in one of the competitors just left his car and spent the whole time hunting people down and messing them up. The death match is pretty straight forward. shoot to kill.

The other game I am really into on the XBOX is UNO. Call me lame or call me stupid, but man I love playing UNO and for some reason it feels less pathetic if I am playing with other people online, although i know its not.

So in short this weekend I became two things I never saw coming, an XBOX owner and a patriotic American.

With the release of GTA IV I really want to get an XBOX 360. This isn’t anything new, but now its in overdrive. I really want to try the online.

Here is the dilemma though, no its not that I can’t afford it, I feel like I am at a point in my life where I need a new Handle. Hans Gillman is good for certain games, but I feel i need something with more ring to it and maybe even that will incite fear in young children and old men. How am I supposed to intimidate children while playing UNO on XBOX live when my name just sounds like normal foreign guy. (Normal foreign guy in the Internet world = pervert or pedophile and no child is afraid of that). Hans Gillman can only get anger from a draw 4 wild, I want fear even on a red 2 (and I’m not talking about Wedge Antilles).

Any thoughts?
