Movie of the Week – Law Abiding Citizen

Hrothmund — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:16:34 +0000

I wasn’t thrilled about seeing this movie when I first heard about it, though all the trailers for it did look cool. After I left the movie theater I was left completely shocked by how well Gerard Butler played the villian Clyde Shelton in the movie.

The details…

The essential story behind the movie starts off when Clyde Shelton’s family is robbed and his wife and daughter are murdered. The criminals get taken to court, but only Ames (one of the killers) actually gets a life-in-prison sentence, because Darby (who actually committed the murders) made a plea bargain to testify against Ames and plead guilty instead to Murder to the third degree. Clyde is upset that Nick (played by Jamie Fox), his attorney, made the plea bargain because he wanted to atleast fight for both of them to go to jail. Clyde, upset because Ames and Darby weren’t held “accountable for their actions”, desides to bring the justice sentence down from the top to the bottom and take the law into his own hands.

The verdict….

The movie is a great action movie and I’m sure Gerard will get a nomination for best villian in some award ceremony. Asides from the gorey parts in the movie which makes it R rated, I’m extremely glad I saw this movie and would might actually go see it a second time.

Hrothmund’s Rating: ****/5

Exclusive Site – Wolfram Alpha Knows Everything About You

Dolo — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 09:35:50 +0000

Wolfram Alpha… What the hell?

By far this is one of the coolest websites I have ever found. When I say that, I mean it’s better then Google or any website in the world. Judging by the name of this website, you probably have no idea what this is, or why you’re here. But trust me, if you want to get things done in your life without having to go through all the bullshit on the internet, this is it. If you ever have any question or problem to solve, look no further.

Hey look, it does my homework!

Possibly the greatest feature of this site is it will take any equation that you submit, process it, and give you the results you want. I’m talking about full on every explanation you could think of. You can ask it anything, just to name a few:

Details on your name and your birthday
Type in “Weather” and it gives you your area’s weather
Type in “Cake” and it will give nutrition facts
Type in any person, place, or thing and you’ll know all about it

Great for research and great for stalking people…

The creepiest part about the site is that it has so much information on the people that live around you. Try typing in a name of a family member, or anyone you know ( not too young), and it will dig up information on them. It is scary to know that everything about you is on the internet, but hey, welcome to 2009. A part from being bored, it’s a great tool to look up history and research if you’re into that stuff. If you’re a mathematics geek, or simply twelve years old and can’t solve fractions, don’t worry! Enter it and you’re done!

Screw the calculator!

Need math done for your homework? Sick of using that horrible TI-89 calculator? Enter whatever you’re trying to solve from fractions to calculus three, it will solve it and show you how it’s done.

Why am I always so bored?

So let’s give this new “Information Engine” a spin shall we? Below we typed in the word “Bored”.

The website will do on the fly calculations for you, and find everything you need to know. Looking above, you’ll find out that the emotion in the brain that deals with “Bored” is very small. In other words, you have no other traits listed above, so “Bored” must be your biggest emotion. If you like to the left with affectation and adjust are right next to each other. This says alot doesn’t it? If you have no already went to the site, it’s Wolfram Alpha.

Exclusive Sites – Stupid Websites That Make You Feel Better

Dolo — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:05:52 +0000

You shouldn’t probably read this.

Every time I feel like it, I will bring you to some incredibly funny, but stupid websites. The four websites today include many popular internet sites not known to the average user. I will probably get some shit for doing so, via emails and comments about people disagreeing with me, but that’s my problem.. For now, site back and click the bottom four boxes for some good entertainment. So go on, keep reading for some stupid stuff that makes you feel good about your self!

It’s not stupid, but it is funny.

Have an STD? Too scared to tell your partner about it? Well that just got a lot easier. Simply pick your card style you wish to send, and let them know that they might have an STD as well! Isn’t that wonderful? What could be more fun telling your partner that you and he/she might have a STD in a funny comical picture! This all brought to us from the people at some company.

/wrist

I found this website quite a while ago back in my internet forum trolling days, the people at many forums use to attack this place in a effort to feel better about themselves. Well mostly because the people there would over react and write page long essays on how the outside internet world attacks on them. For many of us, its very funny when people over react. I mean look at the TV shows these days!

This one time at band camp…

Want to know peoples deepest darkest secret? But, you know these people can’t keep those secrets inside for whatever reason, so they reveal them to the anon- or the internet. These are juicy details on people’s lives that you don’t want to miss, thus the title of the post. Though this is not for everyone (specifically girls) as this this humor is more for people with no emotions and that love to laugh at other people’s shitty life.

Don’t even bother!

Ever wonder why you like girls? Or even the other way around for our girl readers. Well look no further, this will tell you exactly how attraction works and let you know tips for picking up girls. Meanwhile, you become stupid and look dumb for reading such nonsense. Heh, whatever makes people happy.

It’s just so… pointless?

Have I ever seen a more interesting website in my life? Seriously folks, this place is wack. I’m not just talking about the layout of the site (which is hell, it took my five minutes to find and copy links), but the content and community are crazy. The man behind all this is unknown, and builds funny and pointless javascript applications based on requests. People ask questions, he answers and if you’re lucky he will make a stupid app on it. Stupid, but fun! Enjoy.

Game Review – Top 5 Video Games To Get Addicted To

Dolo — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:35:43 +0000

Because you can’t tell from the logos….

Command and Conquer #5

For the rank of #5 comes in Red Alert and Command and Conquer series which was created by Westwood over nine years ago. Both RTS (Real-time strategy) series brings hundreds of hours of fun. Of course you you probably will not play the older series which were created many years back and have what we call “shit graphics”. Most people don’t like RTS, for a number of reasons being that they involve a lot of time, and require much strategy. One of the campaign missions can last from two to three hours. The reason you hear a lot of bitching about RTS games is because they’re hard to balance. Look at Halo Wars for example, which has went through so many stages in balance, I’ve lost count.

The whole goal of a RTS is simple: Build, Gather, and Defeat. Each building you see above has a unique value to it. In a RTS you start off with a simple base, which will grow into a collecting area for money, and soon you will build vehicles and troops. Need more power? Then upgrade them using your labs at the endgame! Once you’ve beat the campaign, go enjoy hundreds of hours online with thousands of people still playing these games. You may not want to pick Red Alert 2, but maybe try out new games such as Command and Conquer: Generals. Though people claim, Warhammer is the most balanced and precise RTS available, you may still want to check out these classics!

The Halo Series #4

The Halo series is an incredible story line packed with drama, action, guns, Cortana, and even some aliens. Well mostly aliens… For the #4 spot tonight, we have the classic FPS (First Person Shooter). Bungie, which is the creator of the game probably stuck gold when they created this storyline. They’re are four books going around the game which just as the game, are very addicting. So what makes this game so addicting? The campaign of all three games (Halo 1, 2 and 3) gross in total about 20 hours to complete all of them. Once you’ve had a taste of the story, you head over to the best part…

Halo is big. Real Big! Every day there are millions of players online playing Halo 3 Matchmaking for fun, rank, and glory. Some people don’t speak english, some can’t even hold a controller, and the best part- most of them are screaming 13 years olds! Slowly you will level up through the matchmaking system, which is by far one of the most advanced matchmakers right now. The addictive quality of this game is the process of ranking up, and proving that you can kick ass in Halo. Hey, you’re going to need it if your boss challenges you to a match. Screw Golf.

Half Life Series #3

Everyone who’s everyone that plays a FPS has played Half Life. For the nerds who think that Halo isn’t hardcore enough, welcome to FPS heaven. Remember the days where you would wake up every Saturday to watch your favorite cartoons? Well now put this in place of your favorite cartoon! This is the ultimate FPS when it comes down to mechanics, balance, and playability. Heck, it even has a great storyline to go with it (not as good as Halo though) which will eat your hours away. Valve did a great job creating Half Life, and did a even better job at making it the best FPS!

If you noticed, you’d see that there is also a portal picture there! We already reviewed portal though so check it out dog.

Starcraft Series #2

Hitting the number #2 spot, Starcraft for the PC hits the next best RTS. If you’ve never seen crazy Korean gamers playing this game all day for money, then you have not seen nothing. The story line behind Starcraft was never strong, but the multiplayer intensity always heats up online. The graphics may not be the best part of the game, but the addiction from day one always starts. You can play online for free, and choose three races in the start; Protoss, Zerg, and Terran. Though probably the second you join a group, you’ll get kicked out. No noobs please!

Unlike most RTS, you must gather two types of supplies, instead of one. Games such as Warhammer and Red Alert, you need only to collect ore. But, in Starcraft you need gas and crystals to supply your huge army. The online play is intense, between the low lag rates and mature player base, you will spend hours upon hours diving into all that is RTS. But, this game is a bit old so let’s dive into Starcraft 2.

World of Warcraft #1

Let me say this clearly. If you want a time killer in any manner, I have brought you to your final destination. World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment by far has the most subscriptions and money then any other game company in the world. Bragging rights of 12 millions players at a monthly subscription fee of 15$ a month brings us to…165000000$ a month. That’s some serious dough right there folks. But, these people aren’t wrong. The game is addicting to the max, once you start your character in the world called “Azeroth”, you won’t stop until you have 500+ days of play time. That’s right 500 days.

Wrong. The way the game is setup is a typical advancement game. You receive a quest, do it, get better gear and you win! Then make that 20,000 quests so you keep upgrading which in the end takes years. Through these questions and dungeons you will be able to acquire the best gear and brag to all your friends! All your internet friends that is. Don’t let anyone in real life know you play this game because it’s still considered very nerdesh.

Bored Original – If God Programmed the World

Dolo — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 06:02:44 +0000

God fails at typing passwords! Click me!

We all know that there is a god out there right? We’ll maybe not everyone. With so many different religions out there these days who can we turn to! Well there is only one god left, and it isn’t any religion you’ve seen before. No its not Christianity, Buddhism, Catholic, or atheist. I’m talking about the computer god!

Some very important questions we would ask god if he were a computer programmer! Read more to find out!

Asking Programmer God Questions…

Q: Does God control everything that happens in my life?

He could, if he used the debugger, but it’s tedious to step through all those variables.

Q: Why does God allow evil to happen?

God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier revs.

Q: Does God know everything?

He likes to think so, but he is often amazed to find out what goes on in the overnight job.

Q: What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs?

If an critical error occurs, the system pages him automatically and he logs on from home to try to bring it up. Otherwise things can wait until tomorrow.

Q: Did God really create the world in seven days?

He did it in six days and nights while living on cola and candy bars. On the seventh day he went home and found out his girlfriend had left him.

Q: If I pray to God, will he listen?

You can waste his time telling him what to do, or you can just get off his back and let him program.

Q: How can I protect myself from evil?

Change your password every month and don’t make it a name, a common word, or a date like your birthday.

Q: Some people claim they hear the voice of God. Is this true?

They are much more likely to receive email.

Q: Some people say God is Love.

That is not a question. Please restate your query in the form of a question.

Q: What is the one true religion?

All systems have their advantages and disadvantages, so just pick the one that best suits your needs and don’t let anyone put you down.

Game Review – Portal: Go Through Walls and Shit

Dolo — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:56:27 +0000

For today’s post on BTH, we have a very very special game. Now I know many of you who will and would read this might of played this fantastic game, but I’m sure some have not. This is probably one of my all time favorite games..

You start of as a test subject for the “Enrichment Center” for “Aperture Laboratories, and slowly you are awaken by a calm, smooth voice. The voice will guide you through several test chambers as you proceed through the game, and eventually receiving the “Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device”. You are told, never to look at the gun, never fire the gun in water, and ——. But wait… The voice you heard just sped up into Spanish. And you, Chell, are promised cake and grief counseling as your reward if you manages to complete all the test chambers.

You will keep going and proceeding through harder test chambers, some including weapons that kill. You’ll also notice that all the windows looking into the test chamber have no one inside of them. So where is everyone? Will you ever learn of the “Weighted Companion Cube”, every portal players best friend? Play the game! While the game play is original, the voice acting and plot is one of the best iv’e seen in years for these types of games. It combines humor and a love for inanimate objects, sad really, but the game is hilarious to play. Don’t forget the ending song of the game, you won’t ever forget it. Youtube “Still Alive” if you’ve already played the game!

Oh and if you wanted a sample of Portal, its in Flash, and its very fun and cool =D

Bored Movies – Comedy of the Year: The Hangover

Hrothmund — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:23:40 +0000

The Hangover could best be compared to Superbad, which I’m sure many of you have come to deeply enjoy. The lack of big name actors may be a turnoff for some, but it’s still a fantastic movie. The story has many twists and turns and is very unpredictable which only makes the movie more enjoyable. Many people will also be able to connect with the characters within the movie.

The characters consist of Doug, Phil, Stu, and Alan. Doug is the stereotypical groom, Phil is the ladies man who just so happens to be a teacher, Stu is the intellectual of the group who is married to a total bitch, and Alan is the soon to be brother-in-law of Doug, who is best described as strage. All of them are going to a bachelor party in Las Vegas and once they arrive, their crazy night begins. The following day they lose Doug, and the movie follows the trio throughout Las Vegas as they search for their friend by backtracking through the previous night (or atleast what they can remember from it).

Left to Right: Alan, Phil, Stu

This is a must see movie, and probably the best comedy of the year.

Here’s a short clip to help teach you a lesson about firearm safety with none other than New York Giants WR Plaxico Burress.
