Something for the night owls. I have been listening to Ken Hirai's 'Pop Star' for about two months now non-stop and couldn't find the video. After finding it, I can officially say this is the greatest music ever put in video form. Dare I say better than 'Yatta.' Not gonna lie to you, it's even more kickass than the video I created in my head that had David Hasselhoff and dancing pandas. Watch and feel the awesome.

If anyone is down to learn the lyrics and dance steps, I am up for doing this at karaoke.
Chachi out.

Hey, ya'll. I am doing a little bit of double time tonight. I just got a call back and I am going to do my 'ranting' on the X-Box 360 now because I REALLY need to 'Get Amped' for this (Big ups to Teq! Check him out Saturday!) interview, it's with the CFO. Big things in store for your boy. It sounds like a kick-ass position after some research on it. I hope I get it.
Another reason I am doing my X-Box 360 commentary right now is the fact that I just spent about 2 hours at Gamestop playing it to avoid the weather. My god is it craptastic outside! And I must say they are cool people. They allowed me to play different games and everything. I spent a good bit of time on Need For Speed and the demos for Dead or Alive 4 and Perfect Dark. I must sat this, and I may regret this later, but the X-Box 360 is not a BAD system. It has just done three VERY bad things:
I'll get to that later, but my big 'issue' with the 360 is they fact that the games coming out for the PS2 and in some cases the GAMECUBE are just as impressive graphics wise. When I put Resident Evil 4 for both units up against the 360 titles, only DOA4 and Need for Speed beat it out. Even God of War has a equal look, and the game speed is fast as hell. Z played Fight Night 3 and I didn't believe him about the speed until I played it at Best But in Denver yesterday. My GOD, its like the Matrix (the last two, not the first one). He said it best: 'What's with all the polygons if they can't move?!'
Now we have already seen the pictures of the PS3 titles. If the game-gossip sites are true and the launch titles are correct(MGS4, FFVII remake, God of War 2), then there is no way the 360 can survive in a head on battle later on this year. Even the Nintendo Revolution with its 'French Tickler' controller has the new Zelda and Mario titles and if they have a Mario title with Kart after it I am SO in it to win it.
Ok, I will never quote 50 Cent again but he had a pretty good twist to a Tupac line:

- It did not live up to the hype
- It's not the best thing out RIGHT NOW
- It won't be the best thing out in a year, or even six months

Sony has always been focused to be and become a mainstream system. Like how people say 'Xerox' for a copy even when they may have another brand of copier. Or a Kleenex, Band-Aid and Kool-Aid. At my old job, they called it branding when you get so big you are known as an action (KOBE, for you Chappelle Show fans). Playstation is generic for video games like Nintendo was in the mid-80's and 90's. Nintendo has earned its spot and can really do no wrong, kind of like Robert De Niro. That's why he can make a movie like 'Showtime' and no one with bat an eye because he is Bobby Frickin-De Niro. Even is Nintendo releases a boatload of crap, we are guaranteed a kick ass Mario, Zelda or Metroid game to make up for it. Microsoft has not found its place yet. Until it does, it will always be 2A as a console option.
Now, full circle time. I mentioned the launch titles and how disappointed I was. I have softend my stance on the ol' box. I always said that the first 'Box was a Halo away from being the next 3DO and I stand by that. But really think about it. For those of us old enough to remember the original Playstation launch, remember ToShinDen? I swore up and down it was a '3D Samurai Showdown'. I told Griff to check it out and he said 'This ain't next-gen, this is next crap!' and he was so right about it. Every launch game looks bad and sometimes plays worse. Hell, remember Bouncer for the PS2? That thing didnt even work on half the systems! And once it did, we realized it did indeed suck ass. So for those hating on the XBox 360, don't bash the system because of the quality of the games, because time has showed they will improve. Bash the system because its 400 damn dollars. I already bought XP and Office, does Microsoft just want my direct deposit number so they can take all of it? Well, that's all for that. That probably won't help any of you, but I hoped it helped you give the little white box a shot. If you have half a 'g' to blow.
*phew* that was long but it had been on my mind.
Back to me. I will try to let all of you know how everything goes tomorrow or Saturday morning at some point. Also, I had my last beer watching the Seahawks/Redskins game last week. Yep, I am giving up drinking. Actually, seeing as I have only had two drinks since I got laid off a month ago (I got a Mojito on New Year's Eve. And no it's not a gay drink. It's a land-owning drink.) it should actually be very easy to not do it anymore. I also figured out how to do polls, as well. I should have one up hopefully by the end of next week, even if things work out and I back among the taxpayers. Can't leave the peeps hanging. It's about the love. Wish me luck and until next time, stay up.
Chachi (finally) out.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
So I am checking my email this morning and and I see this article in my Yahoo news section of my e-mail: http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/28673810
First off: why in the HELL am I getting Ricky Martin news in my e-mail? I figured if there is one place I would have peace from washed-up popstars, it would be my e-mail. Second off: golden showers. Okay, I am sure that there are young people reading this or hell people that just don't want to hear about this. All I can say is when did Ricky Martin's pee become news? Did you know that Bush is trying to start static with Iraq? No, because we have hear about Ricky Martin's pee! And to top it all off, the King of R&Pee (oh, now that is damn funny no matter what or creed or religion) is trying to get the child pornography charges dropped again. For what, lack of evidence? C'mon, I saw the evidence! It's YOU! Well, it could be Avant in Kelly's defense. Look at the proof:
Now compare it to the defendant:
Easy mistake, I guess. More Huey for the peeps: http://www.youtube.com/?v=Prc43HUDIFY
Anyway, back to to the lecture at hand. Today is a kind of down day for me. Aside from a employment seminar (Great, some idiot telling me not o sleep on the job. Last I checked, I'm live in AMERICA, and we do what we want, when we want!) and a quick jaunt to the Rock, I am gonna be finishing up storyboard for the blog videos. Hopefully, they won't suck. I have tossed the ideas around and they sound good to the crew. And The Grizzle may be making a CSP cameo, so The Kul-De-Sak Krew may be back in effect! Where you at, dawg?!
Tomorrow's rant will be on the X-Box 360. From this point on, rants are gonna be on a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule unless something really hits me as being irritating and i will drop some knowledge on the peeps (like Hillary Clinton's plantation comments earlier this week). Well, I may leave tome words this evening, but if not, take a look at the X-Box 360 and tell me what you think. I am not impressed, and I will tell you why tomorrow.
