The guys on the show have to say a tongue twister without messing up. If they mess up...well...methinks they'd rather have just died instead.

Turns Out I know this man...
Sometimes he shows up for parties or dinner parties.
His name is Will. He calls himself Cardcaptor Will, but to me and my friends we call him cardcaptor blackura.
Now I love anime, and I invented Cereal Robots. But.. Will blows my mind! He ends up getting free trips to be a guest or sometimes host anime conventions.
According to Will, he is going to be a guest at Otaku Omaha. So if you live in Nebraska, stop out and see Cardcaptor Will, and tell him JRocK sent you.

In Regards To Ultra Mini Golf and Ass Blasters
Holy hell, I never thought I'd talk about 3D Ultra Mini Golf again. TUMG (I am NOT going to retype that damn name 30 flippin times...) was a quirky game that my family would play way back in the day on PC. My family had a number of games that we would play (or that I would watch) that I remember fondly. My mom would play Jeopardy and would yell at Alex Trebek when, even though she got the answer correct, he would smugly reply that she was incorrect due to the fact that the computer was a stingy little bastard who wanted you to know that it was either his way or the highway in regards to how your question in the form of an answer was written. She'd swear and bang her fist on the desk, "EAT SHIT ALEX! I GOT IT RIGHT! FUCK YOU!"
I'd like to believe that's where I get my video game rage from, but I know it mainly stems from my brother handing me my ass as an origami swan in Tecmo Super Bowl time and time again.
My mom, brother and I would also play You Don't Know Jack all the time, and like most of my family activities, it would usually end in a full contact assault to try and get the fastest finger questions and jack attacks (I'll tell you this, my mom can throw the 'bows). One game even my dad would jump in on was TUMG. The game was filled with some awesome (at the time that is) 3D animations as well as really nice stage design. Like JRocK mentioned earlier, each hole had a different theme associated with it and the animations/pitfalls that one could fall/roll into reflected this. It's sad that I don't remember the game ALL that well (hell, I'm lucky I can remember to take my pants off first before I take a shit), I do remember having a blast with that game.
Shame it's being given away at Taco Bell. I'm not the biggest fan of paying for ass blasters.

Taco Bell Free Trials:
I just received a fresh email from Sierra Insider telling me to go to Taco Bell. Normally I go there for tacos and stomach pains. Here is what the email has to say:
"Head in to a participating Taco Bell restaurant between May 24 and June 27 to pick up one of four 3D Ultra™ Mini Golf Adventures demo discs. Each disc contains puzzle games, a free trial of FreeStyle Street Basketball™, and four holes from one of the game's three environments: Carnival, Wild West, and Space. The fourth disc contains four holes from the Taco Bell exclusive environment: Lost Island. Collect all four!"
If you are unaware of what these games are, you are not alone!
FreeStyle Street Basketball is an MMO about basketball. There is currently a free trial going on here.
3D Ultra Mini Golf Adventures is a quirky golf game, sans hot shots here.

Beowulf?
http://www.beowulfmovie.com/ November 07, in time for my birthday!
I am not sure how many of you read this excellent book in high school. Now I am not much of a reader, but for some reason this story kept me wanting more. In a sense it was my Harry Potter. While in high school, I was paired up with some buddies that were also musicians to make a film for English class about a scene from Beowulf. We decided to make a song instead and I remember singing on it, it was a master piece that needs to be unearthed!
I did some digging and found an article on Kotaku.com about Beowulf the game and how it is going to use direct elements from the film! Ubisoft is developing the project.
