Mornin’ Cup o’ British

Gibbo — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:58:11 +0000

Well there’s no one to take this week’s Mornin’ Cup so I thought I’d try my hand at it. Over the 5 days, I’ll take a look at my personal favourite 5 British bands and a taster of the music they’ve produced. Today’s offering is Muse’s Knights of Cydonia, off the 2006 album Black Holes [...]

nikmonroe — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:00:37 +0000

What’s this you ask? A bonus episode of Mornin’ Cup O’ Movie Soundtracks. Looking back at my choices for the week I realised I was missing something very important, a montage sequence! Films like American Pie and Can’t Hardly Wait were films that shaped my upbringing and like most teen films featured one thing common, [...]

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

nikmonroe — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:00:18 +0000

The Bourne Trilogy is probably the best series of action films this decade, director Paul Greengrass did a fantastic job of making spies relevant again by making Jason Bourne the anti Bond, so relevant in fact that when MGM got round to rebooting the Bond franchise with Daniel Craig at the helm they tried to incorporate as many Bourne [...]

I warned you that you hadn’t seen the last of The Cinematic Underground this week and I wasn’t lying. Today’s song is Emily’s theme from Rian Johnson’s debut film Brick which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Brick is a film noir set in an American high school where Brendan (Gordon-Levitt) is trying to track down the murderers of his ex [...]

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

nikmonroe — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:00:34 +0000

If you’re a regular reader of the site you may recall that I loved Marc Webb’s sleeper hit of the year (500) Days of Summer, so much so I saw it at the cinema twice and I’m desperate to see it again. The song I’ve chosen is the 1980’s hit You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oates [...]

Owen Wilson is…Marmaduke?

Ryan Wilson — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:55:20 +0000

This was today’s Marmaduke strip, I’m fucking serious. Owen Wilson has signed on to play the Great Dane in an upcoming Fox CG/Live Action adaptation of the newspaper comic Marmaduke. Not a particularly odd film choice considering the mass success of his last dog-centric film, Marley & Me, but I don’t see people exactly clamoring for [...]

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

Day two in our movie soundtrack special and it’s time for the magic of John Williams in Steven’s Spielberg’s classic dinosaur movie Jurassic Park. The song I’ve chosen is Welcome to Jurassic Park and is probably one of the most recognisable in cinematic history. Building up from a slow start as Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and the others approach [...]

Gibbo — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:50:12 +0000

It’s less than 3 weeks until Left 4 Dead 2 is released and a public demo is due out tomorrow. However I was lucky enough to get a demo code for the Xbox 360 version last week and since then I’ve been playing through the demo’s two levels of “The Parish” throughout the weekend. The demo [...]

Wizards of the Coast and Sony Online Entertainment announced today that the series that launched a million nerds, Magic: The Gathering, is receiving yet another game. The new game is titled Magic The Gathering – Tactics, and as the title already suggests will not play exactly like the card game. Being a guy who’s suffered [...]

Left 4 Bed 2 Is Here

Gibbo — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:23:26 +0000

About a year ago, The Young Scot (close, personal friend of Mediawhore) made a video entitled Left 4 Bed, in which Bill of L4D made Louis of L4D, quite frankly, his bitch. The video did pretty well and The Young Scot quickly became internet famoose. Now the master of suspense is back with Left 4 [...]

Morning Cup o’ Indie

Ryan Wilson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:32:10 +0000

I’ll admit, I didn’t start the day off well. I fell out of bed in the middle of the night, then proceeded to stub my toe on the bed. Then I put on an album from this band and soundly fell back asleep. Here’s “Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood” by Clap Your Hands [...]

Dissidia, a Misdirected Idea

The Gaming Godfather — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:41:18 +0000

I’m going on record here stating that I am ready for the scopes of Final Fantasy fan boys and girls Hate Guns to be aimed at my head. After sighting the opening cinematic, my hopes for this fighting game that harnesses characters usually taking turns of taking and inflicting pain. Wonderful visuals, colorful characters, intense [...]

With Halloween quickly approaching, we all know what’s coming next: a full 2 months of Christmas season mobs, shopping, and music. After the thirtieth radio playthrough of Christmas Shoes (a song so bad, it inspired this article), you’ll wish you were dead. But take it from The Mountain Goats, you are going to make it [...]

And the Award for Biggest Disappointment of the Year goes to…Duel the Dragon DLC!…or does it?

The Gaming Godfather — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:31:26 +0000

I remember when I was given the press release concerning the release date for Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers expansion. I lept in the air and clicked my heels together and began to hum a happy little tune to myself. I began to look through all my old MTG cards and began to [...]

Demo Daze – Dragon Ball: Raging Blast

Gibbo — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:00:43 +0000

I was a big fan of Dragonball Z when I was a kid. Like any childhood cartoon, it seems a little silly looking back but as long as I had my daily dose of Toonami and people with gravity defying haircuts throwing each other through canyons then I was happy. So whenever I get the [...]
