The "official" ad campaign for this year's Preakness is not "Get your Preak On", but rather "Kegasus".

You can read an interesting Baltimore Sun article about it here, or just go to the site here.

Starcraft 2: The AI challenge?

2011-01-23T08:23:00.002-05:00

You know how I've occasionally mentioned that I prefer playing against human opponents in multi-player games (particularly board games), because the AI is limited in it's options?

Well, here's an interesting story about how some Berkely AI students won the Starcraft 2 AI challenge. It's a bunch of AI scripts battling it out.

The key is, that the AI that they built can micro manage units better than any human can, so if it is ever optimized it will be unstoppable.

Duke Nukem is finally here?

2011-01-23T08:21:00.001-05:00

I think I remember playing the freeware first title back of Duke Nukem back in high school. I didn't play the 3D version. But apparently Duke Nukem forever took 12 fricking years to develop. There's a great story about it here.

And I've also linked to the reveal trailer. Game ships on May 3 of this year.

Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie?

2010-09-08T09:43:00.004-04:00

I'm ashamed to admit that I only scored 7 out of 12 on the Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie? quiz. Apparently I'm a little too cynical. But there were a couple of heartbreaking cases where something that I thought couldn't possibly be a real movie actually was.

Any interest?

Public Suggestions + Open Republican Website = Hilarity

2010-05-28T09:32:00.002-04:00

The Republicans have created a web site to allow ordinary citizens to suggest ideas for the Republican platform. Unfortunately, they did not incorporate filters for ideas that are just too awesome for the times we live in.

Stories can be found here and here.

2010-03-29T09:54:00.002-04:00

If you're like me, and you've got the Comcastic monopoly for your TV and Internet service, there's some good news:

Comcast has launched a new Hulu type service called Fancast, where you can watch TV on the internet. I haven't compared it's offerings to Hulu, and I don't know what the commercial status is, but it's another option for viewing TV on the internet, particularly if you travel a lot and want to catch up with stuff on the road.

Bands reuniting?

2010-01-09T16:36:00.003-05:00

So I heard that Soundgarden is reuniting. That in itself is kinda awesome. But there's more for all you late 90's rock fans:

Rage Against the Machine have agreed to play a free concert in England to celebrate their winning the UK singles chart race over christmas, thanks to a fan internet campaign to promote "Killing in the Name of". They actually donated all of their proceeds from the UK single sales to charity.

Also from what I've read it's kind of a big thing to win the Christmas singles chart title in the UK, and was even parodied in the movie "Love Actually".

Here's a list of Christmas UK singles chart winners from over the years. Lately it's been all pop, but Queen and the Beatles have won in the past too.

And here's a link to the live BBC performance that Rage did for the BBC. Yeah, some parts were apparently cut out from the live show.

Now if only Nirvana could somehow put their differences aside and get back together...

NFL Playoff Time - at least for the Ravens

2010-01-07T12:24:00.001-05:00

Playoff Tickets

A man goes to the Pittsburgh Steeler ticket office and inquires about purchasing play-off tickets. The ticket teller replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

The following day the same man goes to the Pittsburgh Steeler ticket office and inquires about purchasing Steeler play-off tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because, "the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs."

This goes on for an entire week. The man goes to the Steeler ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets and the teller says none are for sale "because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs."

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Steeler play-off tickets. Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE STEELERS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS."

The man replied, "I know. I drive all the way from Baltimore just to hear you say that!"

Why Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Sucked

2009-12-23T22:58:00.002-05:00

We've all seen the Phantom Menace. We were all disappointed by it on some level. This guy was disappointed enough to make a feature length review, 7 parts of 10 minutes each, explaining exactly why the movie wasn't good. At least watch the first video. If you aren't interested after that, then don't bother with the rest of them. Although with this crowd, I expect a fairly high retention rate.

In 2006 a crack commando unit of beer drinkers was in need of a costume for a Halloween party and contest that they didn't commit, these men promptly drank maximum amounts of alcohol at the Sky Rock underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as beer drinkers of fortune. If you have a problem or free booze- If no one else can help and you have party snacks- and if you can find them, again don't forget the free booze - maybe you can hire the A-Team.

http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/10078985

Best ones (I added the stuff in parentheses):

21. When something isn't working, just blow it ... wait(--aka, sexual advice that women should follow.)

44. If you break something, you must pay for the breakage. Ergo, if you just fumbled and some fat guy on the other team just returned a fumble the entire length of the field and you broke the controller ... well, you have to buy a new one.(--This one is to remind Boese and Curtis of our infamous PS2 Madden battles.)

46. Just because girls wink at you doesn't mean they like you. In fact, it may actually be part of their job. Remembering this will literally save you 1.62 million dollars over the course of your life.(--especially in strip clubs.)

But it's a collector's gold mine!

It's July...too early to think about Fantasy Football?

2009-07-02T17:15:00.003-04:00

Yeah that's right. The NFL season is still 2 months off, so it may be early to think about fantasy football. Or you could say...it's only 2 short months away, I barely have time to prepare for my fantasy football dominance.

Anyway, I'll be sending out emails about fantasy football soon. I'm going to create a 12-team, 3 division league, with a $50 entry fee this year. You'd be able to trade future draft picks/auction money, so I would expect owners to return year after year. However, I don't envision using keepers.

Oh, I'm also refusing to sign up for a pay site to host this. That's idiotic since there are so many free sites offering all the same options, and the entry money could be better spent distributed as prize money.

I'll be sending the word out soon enough. Please use the comments to let me know:

a) If you'd be interested
b) Any recommendations for websites
c) If there's anybody else who might be willing to participate. Preferably someone local, who isn't very good at this. :)

Save the Coconuts

2009-06-15T12:14:00.004-04:00

Our buddy from Broadneck High Justin Brill is putting on a show at the Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre to benefit the Save the Coconuts organization. It is a local Annapolis organization that promotes breast cancer awareness and raises funds for research. Apparently Justin's own mother has already had two bouts with the terrible disease. I thought it would be nice if some of us might be interested in going to this special show. It will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 8:30pm with a reception to follow. The rain date is Monday July 27.

My post seems to be premature. Mrs. Brill actually passed away this past Sunday 6/14. I think the viewings are today 6/18 from 2-4 and 6-8 at Barranco Funeral Home in Severna Park. The funeral service is today 6/19 at 11:30 am.

I stopped by the 2-4 viewing yesterday to give Justin our condolences. He says hello to everyone. He seems to be doing well. Justin is engaged and his fiancee is very nice.

It's a rough town!

The Senator Theatre is selling off some of their stuff, so now is your chance to get that "Ladder 49" banner you've always wanted.

Misspellings and Hilarity Ensue

2009-04-25T09:29:00.002-04:00

This morning I found a blog dedicated to compiling one-star reviews of classic movies, books, and music from Amazon.com.

Some gems:

There are many myths that persist in modern life. One myth is that war is “meaningless”, “useless” or “insane.” Another myth is that Catch-22 is a good book.
The Princess Bride is twenty years old, and after twenty years it’s difficult to see why anyone likes this movie. It is not realistic and most of the things that happen in the story are lies. The Princess Bride is about two guys who are in a book and they’re fighting over a princess named Buttercup. But the problem is that one of them is a pirate and the other one is a giant! I know it’s supposed to be fictional…but come on! Even my suspension of disbelief is not that good, and I work with children!
The entire story [of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] can be summed up in one sentence: The Earth is destroyed, and Arthur is saved by Ford Prefect, who is an alien researching Earth. Woo, what an exciting plot. Honestly, I’d rather be on the Earth when it was destroyed than go on this boring adventure.
Pink Floyd [The Dark Side of the Moon]! Holy Christ, they’re the worst band EVER! I mean EVER! OH MY GOD! GROTESQUE! THEY’RE HORRID! WOW! MAKE THEM DIE ALREADY! GO CREED! GO CREED! GO CREED!
THIS [Blazing Saddles] is Mel Brook’s WORST movie ever. I think it’s sad how so many great actors would’ve been in it, but THAT was then. Usually EVERYTIME I read a review on Amazon, at least ONE [or two] people give any item “1 star”, but I’m disgusted to find so many [rednecks?] giving this piece of trash “5 stars”.
I do not like the Wizard of Oz. For one thing, I don’t like to watch things with witches in them, especially if one of them is portrayed as a “good witch” - that’s an oxymoron I can’t reconcile with.
I mean when I watch Casablanca and I here the gun shot at the end, I want to HERE GUN SHOT AT THE END!!! Also Ingrid Bergman is no Maryland Monroe.

And easily my favorite, about Schindler's List:

Hey don’t get me wrong I like Holocaust movies as much as the next guy , but this one was a real let down. First of all there are no Americans(at least not American characters)hey spielzy what gives, wheres are hero, schindler is no indiana jones. Perhaps he should of handed the script over to michael cricton.I think spielberg is our greatest “dreamweaver”, to quote someone else, but this film has no pizazz, or more importantly no color. plus it doesn’t have any great action scenes or excitement like saving private ryan. I guess the holocaust is a good topic to make a movie about, but brother this movie aint no “hook”. hopefully people will forget about this turkey and pay more attention to stephen’s better work, ‘amistad’ ‘field of dreams’ ‘ the lost world’.

You can read minds?

The Washington Post has a story about a new wave of toys about to hit the market. Oh and they work by using mind control to move objects. Then they talk about all the practical applications, and at the end they have a great suggestion about what should come next.

I know most of you guys can't get enough of romantic comedies, especially starring Matthew McConaughey. Luckily, the people over at Cracked.com, who are occasionally funny, have designed posters for what just might be his next 10 movies. One of my favorites:

Snakes on a Plane

2009-04-16T13:39:00.003-04:00

Four baby pythons that disappeared from their container in the cargo hold of a Qantas plane have forced the airline to ground the aircraft after staff failed to find the missing reptiles.

Remakes of foreign films are never as good...
