Formspring.me Review

The Good:

• Very Simple and Clean Interface
• Anybody, regardless if they have a profile or not, can ask question!
  
• You can keep track of different profiles through one stream.
  
• You can ask Anonymously.
  
• Being able to ask one question to multiple profiles that your following.
• Getting an E-Mail notification when your question is answered.
• Facebook Connect integration.
  

What I'd Like to See:

• A way to see all of the questions you've asked to different profiles, anonymous or not.
  
• An ability to see what questions a person has asked through the person's profile.
• A Twitter style box, showing who a person is following on Formspring.
  
• Something along the lines of following up on a question after you answer it. For Example: I'm asked "Have you watched The Dark Knight?", I Say "No, I won't be watching it.". After answering the question, it disappears in your inbox. You decide to follow up on the question by going on your profile to find the question and then you click 'Follow-Up' by adding to the answer. That question would then move back up to the top of your Questions Answered profile.
  
• So Imagine This:
• Have You Watched 'The Dark Knight'?
  No, I won't be watching it.
  FOLLOW-UP: I Happened to catch it on HBO, very very good!
  Answered 1 day ago FOLLOW-UP 1 hour ago

I really like Formspring.me. I hope it becomes the next big thing. It's better than those Facebook question apps, mainly because anybody can ask a question without having an account! You can catch me on Formspring right here. Go ahead...Ask Me Anything!

Quick Review: We Are The World 25

The Good:

• Wycleaf Jean parts were fantastic, probably some of the best stuff he's done.
• Kayne West coming out of hiding for this was a pleasant surprise, and he didn't seem like a tool.
• Keeping the Micheal Jackson original in tact was great. Anybody else doing it would have been nothing short of horrible
• Keeping in line of the original video by having random celebs "sing" with the group.
  

The Bad:

• Barbra Streisand: She's horrible. Why is still singing?
• Lil Wayne/Akon: I understand being concerned for Haiti, but why were they given solos?
• Auto-Tune: In a song that is trying to raise profits for the earthquake, putting the must annoying thing in music in the last 25 years, will not help it.
• Rap Session: At the time, it was probably cool, but it won't hold up in the years to come. Sorry...That rap was horrible.
  

Movie Review: SLiTHER

Alright, I went to go see SLiTHER last week and I gotta say, it was a VERY enjoyable movie. If fact, I was very surprized it didn't turn into a sleeper hit. The movie is a very enjoyable horror movie and a very enjoyable comedy. The characters are fantastic. There are a lot of memorable qoutes in the movie. For example, after the mayor and the gang run away from the slug bugs, he bitches and moans about how there is no MR. PIBB!! How the bugs come out and everything comes into play, is just great. In my opinion, this is worth a Full Price Admission and gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Look for my Scary Movie 4 review, which was a pile of shit compared to SLiTHER.

Review: Comedy Central's Motherload Network

Comedy Central has just launched a new service for Broadband users called Motherload. It's a way of getting clips of Comedy Central shows, on your time. What is different comparied to MTV's Overdrive, are many many different things. These simple things make it probably the best broadband demand service out there.

[1] Works With Firefox. Unlike MTV's Overdrive or VH1's V-Spot, Motherload works in firefox. I personally hate changing from Firefox to Internet Explorer just to watch a clip. Firefox is a much safer browser, and lowering my shields to watch Melinda make out with another hot chick on The Real World using Internet Explorer is just not good.

[2] Original Programming. Motherload offers original programming that can only be found on that network. Some of the shows are just outstanding, like Jump Cuts, Meet The Creeps, and TV Listings while some aren't really good like I Love The 30's, Shadow Rock and Odd Todd. If they put Original Programming on lets say, a new episode of one show every day, I would look forward to that day alone.

[3] Old Classic Shows. Comedy Central had alot of classic shows back in the day. Unfortunatly, they were cancelled to fast or ran there course before I found out about them. Since Comedy Central doesn't have the room on the regular schedule to show them, why not show them on Motherload? Example, a cult classic that everybody knows is Crank Yankers. Now they can be found on Motherload any second of the day. Viva Variety was a great show featuring Lt. Jim Dangel and Trudy Wiegel from Reno 911! and Micheal Ian Black from Stella. The show didn't last long, yet it still has a cult following. Cult Classics are ways to see shows that you didn't really give a try back when they were on in the day.

There are some problems though, if you want to get the full show in one sitting, sorry they only come in clips. Another problem that bother me was that not all of the Classic Show's episodes were up at one time, it looks like Comedy Central is going to release one "episode" a week for each show. Now there are a lot of clips in the libary. In fact, there are so many clips of the Daily Show, they gave them their own naviagation button.

What also bothers me is that there are too many ads. I guess I can't complain considering they just launched. I'm sure that Comedy Central doesn't want to spend too much money on this, considering they still want people to watch CC on TV, because that's where they get the ratings, not the computer.

Greg Giraldo tells you what is new for the day on Motherload. He is a great guide for this service. He is very funny, in fact he almost makes me want to watch his show on the TV!! Then again, why should I, considering I could sit on the computer and just watch the clips of his show right on the computer. Sucker...

It's a great service that Comedy Central put out. Its much better than VH1's V-Spot and MTV's Overdrive networks. I totally Recommend you to watch the Motherload Network. Now if only other networks follow after Comedy Central and do the same thing.

I do have a reccomendation though. If Motherload starts to fail, I would put up Chappelle's Show unaired Season Three episodes. You know how much people would flock to see that, before the dvds come out?? Only offer it on Motherload for lets say, two weeks before the DVDs come out then instantly pull it off Motherload. Don't show the episodes on TV, Chappelle's Show definately could make a shitload of money after it ended. Showing an episode or two would just boost more intrest in it which would mean more DVDs would be sold.

Video Game Review: The Warriors

If you haven't heard of The Warriors, its a great movie where a gang heads to a meeting about combining one huge gang to take over the city. Too bad the leader is shotand it is blamed on The Warriors, even though they had nothing to do with it. Now they have to go back to there own turf before they are killed.

Now there is a game based on the cult favorite film. Now before you say it's like every other game based on a movie, its not. In fact, it is possibly better than the film. The Warriors is the best beat-em up game there is out there. If you've played Streets of Rage, then you'll be very familar with how the game is set up. The Game is very easy to pick up.

The Game isn't just the movie storyline, it actually goes back and you learn how The Warriors were formed. The game is looks okay and the sound is awesome. In fact, many of the actors reprise their roles. For a movie that was made around 25 years years ago, the movie is better than ever.

Two things I do have a problem with, I wish there was a better way to control the camera. It sometimes very fustrating when the camera screws up your way of kicking ass. Also, there are very aggervating missions. Especially the ones where you have to mash one button continuously. Otherwise, the game is fricking pimp. This game will make you want you to see the movie if you've haven't seen it yet. This game gets a 9.3 out of 10 in my book.
