Fans of the beloved video games “Portal” and “Portal 2” are raving about a new short film that, though revealed at comic-con first, was uploaded to Youtube.com only yesterday. It is called “Portal: No Escape”. Created by Dan Trachtenberg and starring Danielle Rayne, this short film blew holes… in my mind. The theme of this film is that there is a woman prisoner who comes across a gun. Not a regular gun, but an ASHPD.
Rayne’s character quickly discovers how to use it. She gets away with the guards, following her. She loses them by creating a portal off of the top of a building. Great action sequence! The Valve software company which made Portal and Portal 2 have never expressed an interest in making a Portal movie. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that there wouldn’t have to be many other people in said movie. My opinion? Trachtenberg should be making more of these.
Good job, Mr. Trachtenberg. In my best GLaDOS voice:
“Unbelievable. You [subject name here], must be the pride of [subject hometown here].
First things first – Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages – Brock Lesnar has a special message for all of you.
Before you start your bitching about him shooting prairie dogs, do a little bit of research into what those little shits can and do to a few acres of farm land.
After a second hard fought bout with Diverticulitis, Brock Lesnar is apperantly healthy and ready to begin training again.
At UFC 131, we saw Junior Dos Santos dominate Shane Carwin to become the number one contender for the heavyweight title, so the fight between Valasquez and Dos Santos for the title is already set for some point in the near future.
My prediction however, is that Brock Lesnar will more than likely get a number one contendership shot for his first fight back in the UFC, and my guess is that it will be against somebody like Frank Mir.
Next, we have all seen that UFC pulls all sorts of fans and celebrities out to their events, Hell we even saw the Undertaker attempt to start shit with Brock Lesnar last fall, but I don’t think I have ever seen a celebrity interview better than this.
That’s right Conan the Barbarian is in the house and apparently the beer was on sale that night. I still think my favorite part is how Mike Goldberg is trying desperately not to laugh during this interview.
Back to the fighters – Now, a lot has happened in the light heavyweight division since my last UFC post back in May. First off, we have it set for September, Jon Jones will have his first title defense, and against none other than Quintin “Rampage” Jackson. I will never overlook Rampage as a fighter, he is a well-rounded competitor who I will not count out at this point. I will say that this will undoubtedly be his toughest fight in a while. He is going into a fight with Jones, who proved his abilities by making Mauricio “Shogun” Rua look like a second rate competitor when he defeated him for the title. Jones has incredible striking and as good as Rampage is in that department, I don’t know if he can hang with this guy.
(Speaking of hanging, I’ll get to you in a minute Dennis Hallman, don’t you worry).
I’m personally looking a little further into the future as far as the light heavyweight title is concerned. With Rashad Evans destroying Tito Ortiz in the second round of their fight last month he has guaranteed himself a title shot against the winner of the fight next month. Assuming that Jones wins next month, we’re going to have a Hell of a fight between team mates and friends, Evans and Jones in the near future.
This weekend we have UFC 134, and as most of you know, this will feature Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami for the middle weight title.
The last time these two fought was back in 2006 at the “Rumble on the Rock,” tournament, where Silva, who was clearly the favorite, got disqualified for an illegal head kick.
With Silva being the clear favorite in this fight, this brings me to a burning question and that is, what’s next for Anderson Silva? He has not lost a fight since his 2006 disqualification to Yushin Okami, and we’ve seen him dominate most opponents since then. Now, as many of you have probably heard, there has been rumor about trying to get Georges St. Pierre to move up to the middle weight division as face Anderson Silva for the title.
After all, both fighters are clearly in a division where they cannot be touched, and it’s going to begin to bore us all, if we have to continuously see both men win every fight they have without effort. My reaction to the idea of the dream fight between GSP and Anderson Silva is simple, it’s good competition but bad entertainment. Now before everybody attacks me for this statement, let me explain a little bit.
If this fight truly happened, it may determine who is the best fighter in the UFC, however, could you guys imagine how boring a fight like this could potentially be between two fighters who are as cautious as both of these two men. Let’s take a look at what happened last time Georges St. Pierre fought.
He fought a man, Jake Shields, who was about as evenly matched in my book to Georges St. Pierre as a fighter could possibly come. The hype was there, the crowd was loud, and about three rounds into the fight you could begin to hear boo’s. The crowd was getting restless, because there was too much overly cautious standing around, and it was a boring fight!
The exact same thing happened when another overly cautious fighter, Anderson Silva fought Vitor Belfort. Except this time the crowd started booing in the first round, after about two minutes of standing around before one person committed to trying any offense. Although we were treated to that vicious head kick knock out a few minutes later. No doubt, that this overly cautious, patient fighting style is what it takes to be the best, but matching two fighters whose styles are identical in this fashion, could be a recipe for a fight without a lot of action in it.
With that being said, would I love to see that fight? Absolutely I would, and the reason I would is because after seeing both men dominate their divisions, I want to know ultimately who is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC right now.
Finally – Hallman, Hallman, Hallman, none of us wanted to see the angle of your dangle last month at UFC 133, please don’t ever wear these again. And for those of you who are wondering, those lovely trunks that Dennis Hallman has on in the picture above, will not be legal from here on out. Immediately after the Hallman fight last month, Dana White got on twitter and announced that he will be making it illegal to ever wear those again in competition.
I guess we’ll never know what Roy Nelson looks like sporting a pair of those bad boys.
With Brock Lesnar on his way back, Evans awaiting the winner of the Jones/Rampage fight, and no more speedos in the octagon, I’m excited about the rest of this year. We’ve got one slobber knocker coming this weekend, so everybody find your nearest Buffalo Wild Wings on Saturday, and check it out.
UFC 134 will be this Saturday at 9 pm ET on pay-per-view! Prelims as always start an hour before on Spike TV!
There is a trailer out for a video game so enticing that I had to change my pants after I saw it. I am talking about Lollipop Chainsaw; a hack-and-slash zombie killing… no… dismembering game.
In the game, you play Juliet, a cheerleader who’s outfit leaves little to the imagination. In the trailer, she appears to be in her school slashing zombies left and right.
James Gunn(writer/director: “Slither”, “Super”) wrote the story behind the game. Suda 51(Video game director: “Fatal Frame IV”, “Shadow of the Damned”) is the creative director. When looking at these guys’ reputations, it is clear that Lollipop Chainsaw will be a crazy, yet fantastic journey. As a former cheerleader, cheer coach, and current zombie lover, this looks like it was made for me.
The release date is set for the end of 2012, but there hasn’t been a definite date scheduled. One thing is for sure… I will be reserving this one. Here is the trailer:
In 1932, writer Robert E. Howard created one of the greatest characters in the history American literature – Conan the Barbarian. Most people don’t realize he’s been around that long, commonly associating the character solely with the Schwarzenegger vehicles of the early 1980s. The uneducated masses, which until recently included myself in their ranks, are largely unaware of how in-depth the character’s history is. And now, 27 years after the last Conan movie, the Cimmerian is back on the big screen. And while I was initially underwhelmed by the casting of Jason Momoa, my mood changed after seeing him this season in Game of Thrones.
Raw begins with Alberto Del Rio, getting ready to bore us to death at the start of the show. He of course comes out in one of those borrowed cars, what a piece of trash. After his dragged out entrance he finally grabs a mic and before he even does his lame introduction he is quickly interrupted by John Cena, who gets a standing ovation. Cena grabs a mic and introduces himself as the man who is going to take that belt from him. He goes on to say that CM Punk is the only person who can go toe to toe with him, so whipping Del Rio’s ass won’t be a problem. And just as this leaves his mouth CM Punk’s music hits, and he gets an equally loud ovation. CM Punk says that if anybody is going to get a title shot it’s going to be him. Both Cena and Punk say that they are going to cash in their rematch clause to face Del Rio. Triple H then comes out, I like the suit tonight though. Triple H says that tonight there will be a number one contendership match between CM Punk and Cena in the main event of the show.
Commercial Break…
Alberto Del Rio vs. John Morrison
Morrison begins by throwing a few punches and knocking Del Rio to the outside of the ring. Once back in, Del Rio begins gaining some offense. I can’t be the only one who thinks that Del Rio is an absolute joke of a champion. Heres my thing, when the WWE champion is only entertaining enough to be the first match on Raw, there’s a problem. He has a boring personality and it would be awful for ratings to keep Del Rio as champion after “Night of Champions.”Back to the match, Morrison and Del Rio are on the outside of the ring, and Del Rio shoves Morrison into the barricade before Raw cuts to a commercial break.
After the break, Morrison is getting destroyed. However, as wrestling goes, John Morrison begins to retaliate and begins fighting back into this. Actually, hats off to both these wrestlers, this is turning into a pretty good match. Morrison is still in control, and going for “star ship pain” but misses it and soon finds himself in an arm bar which he taps out to. Actually a great match, and after the match Del Rio begins attacking Morrison just for good measure. Commercial Break…
Nicki Bella vs. Eve Torres
This cat fight begins with Nicki throwing some punches and pulling some hair. Eve begins fighting back and I believe we have broken 2 minutes, which is the longest Divas match I’ve seen on Raw in the last couple months. Nicki and Eve go at it for a couple more minutes before Eve Torres wins the match.
After the match Kelly Kelly, who was in the corner of Eve, comes in the face plants the other Bella for no apparent reason.
Commercial Break…
Jack Swagger vs. Alex Riley
Vicki Guerrero comes out and introduces Jack Swagger, who we saw last week approach Vicki about managing him. As the match begins, Dolph Ziggler comes out and begins arguing with Vicki and in the process distracts Jack Swagger. After the distraction Alex Riley rolls up Swagger into the three count.
Boring match, and once again the WWE refuses to use Alex Riley to the extent that they probably could.
Commercial Break…
After the break, Triple H comes out to supposedly clear up what happened at SummerSlam. Triple H calls out Kevin Nash so they can explain everything to the crowd. Kevin Nash walks out to no music.
Triple H then goes on to say that it wasn’t him that sent that text, and Nash says that he will not apologize to CM Punk. Punk then comes out and says that his bet is that Stephanie McMahon sent the text message. Just when CM Punk is about to Go after Nash, Triple H holds him back. CM Punk goes on to tell Triple H that he’s got his balls stuck in his wifes purse. Just as this happens, Nash attacks Punk from the side, and Triple H and Nash hurry out of the ring together.
Commercial Break
Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne vs. David Otunga and Michael Mcgillicutty
McGillicutty and Bourne start the match and Evan Bourne is beating up McGillicuty. I really think that Bourne and Kingston would be an awesome tag team championship team. Both have an extremely unique wrestling style, and I’m agreeing with everything that Jerry Lawler is saying right now. Otunga and McGillicutty are not entertaining wrestlers, they make piss poor champions and they show nothing unique about their personalities and wrestling styles. Back to the match, after an incredible performance by both Kingston and Bourne, Bourne hits his back flip off of the top rope to get the pinfall win for the tag team titles. I’m absolutely thrilled, and can’t wait to see these two wrestle as a tag team more often!
Backstage, John Laurinaitis runs up to HHH and tells him that Kevin Nash has been in a car accident. His poor acting is almost uncomfortable to watch. He then gives Hunter the name of the hospital and HHH takes off to see if he is ok. Laurinaitis says that he’ll take care of the rest of the night.
My guess is that Kevin Nash had triple H notified of a car accident just to get him out of the arena so he can get involved in the main event and not have Triple H stop him. We shall see what goes down in about 30 minutes.
Commercial Break…
And here comes grizzly bomb writer Darthsaeris’s favorite wrestler in the world, Santino Marella! As he is coming out to the ring, R-Truth and the Miz attack Santino from behind, thank God we don’t have to see him actually compete in a match. R-Truth grabs a mic and begins talking about how Cena, Punk, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, are all conspiring against him and Miz. The Miz and his stupid hair cut begin talking about how he agrees with R-Truth. Miz begins rambling and his words really aren’t worth typing, so I’ll just have you all know he is wasting everyone’s time.
Commercial Break
CM Punk vs. John Cena (#1 Contender-ship match)
Alberto Del Rio and John Laurinaitis are both at ring side, LAME! Side note: I happen to love that CM Punk yells out, “It’s clobbering Time,” before he runs down to the ring. The fact that there is still 20 minutes left in the night, is a definite indicator that were going have a full match! The match starts with a lock up, and John Cena is the first to gain momentum. Lawler begins saying how he doesn’t believe CM Punk is that good, and the “idiotic statement of the night award” goes to the guy with the plastic crown. Punk begins fighting back, but not long before Cena knocks Punk off the top turnbuckle and to the outside of the ring. And we have a commercial break. When Raw returns, we see a back and forth battle and Cena gets Punk in the STFU, Punk doesn’t tap. Immediately after we see CM Punk hit Cena with a “Go to Sleep,” and Cena kicks out. Punk then goes to the top rope and misses an elbow drop, which Cena rolls out of the way from. Both men are laying face first in the middle of the ring. As both men get to their feet, Punk hits Cena with a knee to the face, and Cena hits Punk with an attitude adjustment, but neither move ends the match. Oh and I’m right on the money with my prediction, Nash is back and CM punk is distracted by this. When he turns back around Cena hits him with the “attitude adjustment” again and pins Punk for the win.
After the match Alberto runs in the ring and attacks John Cena. The show ends with this, and yet again we have many unanswered questions.
