ign gave uncharted 2 a 9.5. they say the multiplayer is excellent. i want that game and modern warfare 2. plus there is a double pack of god of war 1 and 2 combined. now i can finally play them both before god of war 3 comes out. oh, and the original british office in on right now on adult swim. totally awesome!!!

who here likes fallout 3??? the expansion packs are finally coming out for the ps3 version ofthe game!!!

oh, and i don't like green day as much as i did when i was in sixth grade...

I don't really like FPSs that much. I'm not a big fan of playing online against faceless strangers, it's just not that fun to me. A few friends crowding around a TV in a living room is cool, but two dudes going head-to-head on arcade machine is unbeatable.

Fallout 3 was pretty cool. Felt kinda pointless at times and occasionally I lapsed into ennui and nihilism as I discovered that the "rewards" for being good are more or less non-existent.

You should definitely get that GoW/2 pack, both of those games are cool. I still prefer Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden because I'm a masochist, I guess.

That GOW pack is going to be widescreen or something right? Read somewhere they are enhancing the graphics a bit. Only played the PSP game so all this new God of War goodness is Ozman approved.

IGN posted a video review of the new Uncharted and it looks amazing.

By the way, I just clicked on your blog and I fucking love your post about BR. They have been my favorite band for well over a decade now and I really don't see that changing. Number 2, for those keeping score at home, is the Bouncing Souls. BR for serious moods, the Souls for good moods or times that I need to get in a good mood - the best band to cheer me up EVER.

I know I'm being extremely close-minded about this, but I just can't give this album a fair chance. The hype just burned me out before it was even released. Since I don't listen to radio, I've seriously only heard the first single ("Know Your Enemy" I think it was called). They played the entire album at a bar I was at, but we were far away from the speakers and talking/drinking/playing darts etc.. so I didn't really get a good feel for it.

Don't get me wrong, I like some of their stuff and their earlier albums had an impact on me just like w/ most of you. Hell, I even liked American Idiot, although that album was extremely overrated and NOT AT ALL A CONCEPT ALBUM ABOUT BUSH, PEOPLE. Holy fuck I got sick of hearing about that angle. This album was just so overhyped that I got burned out before ever hearing it.

Kickaha (September 19, 2009)

In general, being close-minded is NOT really the way to go. But in this case, it has served you very well.
I thought American Idiot was generic and way below par, but 21st Century Breakdown takes generic to a whole new level. Green Day used to write good catchy pop punk songs and then, when they had enough of them, they put those songs together on an album. Now Green Day manufacture generic themed albums, that are then cut up into even more generic sounding songs.

In closing, I'd just like to say the word, "generic" one more time, incase my point wasn't clear.

I never really cared much for them in the first place, save for a few tracks here and there, but holy shit, this is one of the worst albums I have ever heard. "Know Your Enemy" is downright laughable/unlistenable/obnoxiously repetitive, and that "21 Guns" shit makes me want to blow my eyes out the back of my head. The rest of it is not much better. This makes American Idiot sound like Raw Power.

For your own dignity's sake, I would advise not taking this so seriously. It's fine to not like a musician, but to make such an effort to criticize them until you're this angry makes you look like a douche. Using "fuck" in every sentence doesn't help your case much, either.
